He isn't there (they claim) to speak about science or technical topics. He is there to talk about sexual assault, addiction and mental health.
Sucks he's red-pilled and a dick head, but he can still have value speaking on those topics.
That being said, I do agree, ASET is stupid for having him there. But the over the top protestations of outrage were just a bit much.
Maybe having him in a room with a bunch of educated technical professionals who can give him accurate rebuttals on his pickled fantasies could be a positive thing for the guy. Walling him off and calling him crazy doesn't help anyone. It's that kind of polarized mindset that keeps everyone at each others throats.
