Stagger_Lee posted:It's been depressing watching the Pacers get a little worse every year, and I think it's clear that Larry's past his prime in basketball operations. The Pacers best recent years involved getting significant value out of both Lance Stephenson and Roy Hibbert, though, which kind of seems insane at this point. It's going to take some fantastic use of that 1st round pick, with a great free agency, and probably 2 series wins to keep PG around.

I thought Kyrie's anti dinosaur stance would have drawn the most "I'm acting like I'm smart" support from dumb players

straight up brolic posted:He wrote like 10 tweets about it and it's one of the dumbest arguments I've ever read. Really hope the post-modern project dies soon. People are doing way too much. I know he doesn't really mean it this way and is just doing the too-clever-by-half Free Darko analysis thing (and kind of bungling a legit point about the link between conspiratorial thinking and feelings of powerlessness among individuals and communities) but I wonder if he realizes how bad it sounds to position Kyrie Irving being a huge dumbass as the product of a cultural gap.

He's backtracking on Twitter now and regretting taking this whole thing seriously. He must have gotten super roasted.

Nathaniel Friedman has been a crazy rear end in a top hat for a while. He's like the living manifestation of every negative thought anyone has ever had about smug, condescending thinkpiece writers.

Kyrie Irving grew up in a solidly middle class suburb of Newark, he wasn't Oliver Twist. They teach you about the globe and gravity in school. He just saw a flat earth instagram post and watched a youtube and thought, "Yeah, yeah, that seems true" Jota posted:There is no way that trade was real Ric Bucher is wrong a lot, it's an entertaining idea, though.

Jack's Flow posted:It's trendy to be dumb as a brick? We're living in amazing times. It's always trendy to want to sound like you know something that other people don't. It's why conspiracy theories have always found an audience - it gives the people who choose to believe in them a sense of smugness that they "get it" while other people don't. Normally, if you want to get a sense of intellectual superiority over other people, you should strive to educate yourself over many years, try to actually understand how things work, read alot, think alot, things like that. Y'know, earn your knowledge and smugness. Once you've done that to the best of your abilities, you need to make sure you spend most of your time around people who haven't put as much effort into acquiring knowledge and you get to be the "smart one" in your group alot. This is what most of us do. Conspiracy theories like flat-earth, anti-vaxxers etc are an attempt to cheat that process. It's "believed" and propagated by people who want to be the smart one in their group, but know that they aren't actually all that knowledgeable about things, so they make up or attach themselves to some theory with a few big words and try to fake it. They use all manner of circular reasoning, and love using some variety of the phrase "Like, how do you know [insert obvious fact here] is true and not a lie?"; a variation on the old "I'm just asking questions". Most other people just nod and smile at them and let them get away with it, because most people don't really care all that much about it. Arguing with them about it is counter-productive, because you're playing their game for them - they get to have a public debate about an absolutely stupid idea and (to themselves at least) sound like an intelligent knowledgeable person, and the person they're arguing with leaves the conversation with a sense of bewilderment and a sick feeling about the future of humanity. Don't worry about it when it inevitably happens to you (as goons, each of you have had or will have multiple "debates" like this with someone), it doesn't mean anything, they aren't convincing the general public about their ideas (most people are generally smarter than you think), so if you just let it go they'll eventually drop the "theory" because it's built on a foundation of sand and can only stay alive if it's actively opposing another, more reasonable theory. This is why you don't want to go down this rabbit hole. Predictions on what Aaron Gordon is going to do to win the dunk contest is much more interesting - based on last years contest, I think there's a fairly good chance that he violates at least a couple of the laws physics on his way to 4 50's.
