Scientists were wrong all along...just ask Kyrie Irving

Irving touched on several conspiracy theories — some not so wild, like his belief that “there are extraterrestrial beings that exist in the universe,” and some definitely wild ones, like his position that the CIA assassinated Bob Marley because “he tried to bring people together and the fact that it was fundamentally built on love and truth and we kill people for doing the right thing like that” — but things really got interesting when he unveiled his flat-Earth theory. Have a listen, via r/NBA.



After Jefferson and Frye agreed the Earth is a sphere, because they are sane human beings, Irving said, “The Earth is flat,” and then repeated it three times. Insinuating that much of our education is a farce that needs to be independently researched on the internet, Irving launched into a series of truly amazing diatribes, all of which were interrupted by Jefferson or Frye before he could finish his point.

Sorry to read this. I am a fan of Irving's achievements. I hope he does not feel depressed inside.


I post, therefore I am.

He is just like 40% of regular americans...not surprised at all.

Pretty sure Kyrie is a performance artist. Coincidence, supposition, or alternative fact he studied Merleau-Ponty at Duke? Probably best to give him the benefit of doubt.

I've met some absolute quacks who were obsessed with Merleau-Ponty

True. Possibly Kyrie is one of them. Or just in a prereflective mode.

If I were a pro athlete who had to deal with the media, I'd performance-art the **** out of them.

I believe the Holy Bible. How did Saitan take Jesus Christ up on to a high mountaintop an show him "all the kingdoms" of earth if earth is round? Jesus could not have seen them all.

My theory is that we do not fully comprehend the time-space continuum an flat planets fold up in that stratosphere to act both like globes an circular planes. It is the bending of time an space. I do not belief flat earth is even round. It is jagged an rocky an mis proportioned.

If you do not belief me on that last one than maybe you should tell me how the Law of Thermodynamics is wrong (@babe). A circle is Order Out Of Chaos. So, is the earth flat an jagged or is the Law of Thermodynamics wrong an all are science is bad?

Lol. I saw a meme with Kyrie and LeBron yesterday that said something about this. Didn't know it was real though. Dudes a quack.

I thought only conservatives were flat-earthers?

Isn't this dumbo rich enough to stick a camera on a weather balloon and see the Earth's curvature for himself? It's like $2k bruh.

Kyrie is a conservative. Confirmed

Kyrie is a conservative. Confirmed

Definitely not, if you listen to the full podcast he is just an extreme skeptic about everything. He is super positive other than that though, seems like a good guy if you can get over some of his ridiculous theories.

Any chance he is, as NAOS calls it, performance-arting the **** out of the media and simply screwing with them?

It's possible. But like NAOS says, we have an epistemology problem. Most people don't know how to evaluate information.

 

[babe]

When ever anyone claims "science" proves this or that, they are perpetuating the common fallacy that Science is fact and that some consensus among followers establishes the fact as beyond question.

Science. . .is. . . a method for questioning everything, in an attempt to advance knowledge beyond what is presently believed or held on any basis, whether that basis is commonly held as fact, or far beyond the comprehension of anyone but a few eclectic specialists in some obscure branch of thinking.

No, he is completely serious. He sounds like someone who just did LSD for the first time. Love and positivity can change the world and people in power lie about everything to control us.

Well on the other side of things, you represent the "hey it does not make sense so it's impossible" club, which also is only based on your individual theoretical learning of how nature and space works. I personally do not have anything other than what people told me or pictures me to observe the Earth's shape from outer space. This line of thinking is fun to screw around with.

Welcome back to the unreal land of JFC, with your yellow star for being a conservative and all. Of course who could be sure whether you are a conservative or a prankster yanking on the dimwit libs in here just because it is so fun, or what.

And here you are yanking on my chain.

OK, this one is fun.

The Laws of Thermodynamics have some logical failings. Assuming that some line of organization or another is more "ordered" somehow is a pretty big claim. It actually takes a human mind to conceive of a such a state, and I'm sure the Cosmos has no definition of "order" at all.

Let's see, if you're a gambler doing slots, is there some kind of difference in energy of a line of like symbols or a combination deemed to be a payout result, as opposed to a combination that has no payout?

So we make up ideas in our heads and try to find out whether the energy increases or decreases when things line up as we wish.

Oh my God, how can this be Science?

My wife, of course, who keeps a clean house, considers her way of arranging things "order" and vociferously objects to the order I prefer.

"Order", in my cosmos, is an idle fantasy. A vanity of the human soul.....
