Man people are quick to call something stupid on the internet.
My analogy wasn't equating them. I've read up on both.

NBA Star Steph Curry believes the Moon landing was faked

We do know the truth. The evidence isn't ambiguous, and it all points in one direction. Believing 9/11 was an inside job, the moon landing was faked, etc., etc. requires the worst of conspiratorial thinking and/or a lot of ignorance.
The simulation idea is a poor basis of comparison. That's less a conspiracy theory and more an abstract thought experiment based on a series of assumptions.
Wow, you actually think the Soviets couldn't tell if a rocket left Earth or not. Amazing.
Stop raising kids that can be influenced by adults playing essentially a children's game. People are allowed to be stupid without having to consider how it's gonna make children they had no hand in making feel.
Silver should make them take some classes. Not the rookies, but the superstars.
Listen to this Shaq's logic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBchPzUJbgc and its not hard to see why he's so gullible.

Only God Forgives, but I warn you, besides its visuals, not a good movie at all.

Do yourself a huge favor and read this site in its entirety. Then come back to this thread:

Between the conspiracy theorists here and the Steph Curry defence force this thread has enlightened me to some fresh idiocy here. Have a word with yourselves
Not surprising, given Curry's particular brand of religiousness.
"Jesus freaks" usually buy into stuff like this.

So nobody's gonna take the joke?

Fuck every single one of you that also believes its fake. There's certain opinions you arent allowed to have a stance on, and society should shame the fuck out of you if you do. Because it spreads ignorance and a general lack of critical thinking in society if its allowed to be okay. Believing the world is flat is also one of them.
The rise of anti-intellectualism and anti-science in America continues thanks to its favoured sons and daughters.
Yup. The 'harmlessness' of a popular celebrity and influencer like Curry propping anti science conspiracy theory crap is bullshit.
It's far reaching whether he (or other people here) realize it or not. Anti vax shit, 9/11 and Sandy Hook shit, buying into right wing propaganda conspiracies like Chinese Climate Hoax or Millions of Illegal Voting Fraud, etc etc all take root in similar mindsets.
Hey hey hey, they got footprints on the moon.... IT MUST BE REAL LMAO
Not only is the moon landing fake but rumor has it Sidney Poitier is the man in the space suit in the Neil Armstrong film footage.
no.
Like I get believing in some conspiracies is bad (the anti vaxxer stuff for example) and others are in poor taste (mainly the ones that cost lives) but the moon landing is the one I don't get.
Its fun to think about really....seems harmless to me (of course once you start down said slope it can lead to other things of course).
When you neglect the comm part of the tech tree in Kerbal way past when it makes sense to.
Thank you for answering my question. While moon landing has absolutely zero value in the daily lives of most people, it shows how regressive people are in the day and age of internet where with a bit of motivation and research, correct information can be found which would put these types of conspiracies to rest.
And in the broader scheme of things, it speaks to a mentality that is "my ignorance is the same as your knowledge" which is an absolutely dangerous rabbit hole to fall into because that has been leveraged from a position of power to the detriment of a given population. Eg: Anti-vax movements, ultra right wing conspiracy against immigration, denial of climate change, flat earth conspiracy etc.
I wonder if there are people who just believe in one conspiracy theory or if they all inevitably end up yelling about the Jews.
Please stop. Even if you're joking, just stop. The absolute rejection of empirical fact for whatever fallacy sounds the most interesting is honestly one of the things destroying this world.
We can't afford it any longer.
*does thing*
"sure yeah you did that but do it again and I'll believe it*
Unless this post was a joke, and I'm hoping it is.
Didn't your ass just make a thread about "Would Atheists believe in the Christian God if he came down and started doing miracles?"
You're the one refusing to believe the real life miracle that happened in 1969.
Honestly, it's fucking pathetic, man.
