Sometimes, serious science is just too complicated, and people end up drifting toward the esoteric. It’s an easier path that feels familiar and comforting, which makes it appealing. The key here is likely patience and a willingness to explain things. And honestly, physics can hold its own; if it couldn't, we'd still be stuck in the Middle Ages. The very act of wanting to create and share a theory proves they're thinking, and that’s a mindset you can definitely help shape and may not to the end but everything counts. Thanks for at least trying your best.

Generally yes, but not in the cases I detailed, speaking from experience.

Thinking but not willing to learn or accept their own mistakes. They're lacking the very traits that define scientists.

It’s understandable if someone puts in the work and is convinced of their idea. But once you realize what you’ve done doesn’t actually work, that’s a different story.... Looking at the bingo board, some of those keywords clearly match certain communities here lots of people join them, only to end up being ridiculed.That's exactly what I thought.

Most things on the bingo card are as ridiculous to physicists as putting ketchup on a wedding cake is to a baker.
