Ok, this isnt Raptors related content. But its so f*cking outrageous belief, I was shocked when Herro said that

I reckon a lot of players shares the same belifs as Herro, they just wont openly express them moving forward.

NBA Players, are not always smart people. LeBron said something similar as he was dicussing X and Os, that he was surprised that some players couldnt flip a play in their head.

Why would NBA players need to understand plays with them walking upside down on their hands instead of feet? Makes no sense, Lebron...!

1950, eh? Convenient cut off for the Nazis.

Can someone make a thread about it on General Board section?

I reckon this subject will explode over there lol

Sports IQ is way different from actual IQ though.

I've played basketball with ivy league level doctors that had the worst bball IQ I've ever seen and did not have any court vision to save their life...and I've played with high school dropouts that know how to play, move the ball, get in proper position, strong court awareness etc.

Anyways, remember that guys like Herro are kids that have been exceptionally gifted athletes since their teens, never really had to focus on school, and have just dedicated their careers to basketball...they have little knowledge of history, politics etc. and are easily susceptible to conspiracy.

There are plenty of people who don't believe in the moon landing. So that's not a problem. The one that made me scratch my head is not believing in history before 1950. That's after World War II. Could be just him just shooting whatever BS comes to his mouth without registering them through his brain but also could be bit of a dangerous territory depending on what other beliefs he has.

We can ignore this.

Just a guy talking nonsense with his bros while high af.

Nothing to see here.

i agree, but i kind of see his point of view? he's grown up in an era where pretty much everything is verifiable with video content. a lot of history was recorded by people just writing stuff down and so there's little "proof" of what actually happened. pretty much a "seeing is believing" mentality.

he seemed high af so he probably meant he doesn't trust history rather than not believing that stuff actually happened before 1950.

Gotta love this place. Someone has an opinion about something that has been debated for some time now. "Outrageous belief"


To be clear, im not agreeing with Herro. Just this place constantly **** on people not following the crowd. It's like clockwork

I see this more frequently in recent years and its alarming.

The logical flaw is that this his opinion is irrelevant in the face of actual facts. The moon landing hoax in particular has been debunked numerous times and fails the slightest scrutiny.

Conflating "opinion" with a misunderstanding of the scientific method, which is responsible for virtually every technological innovation, is just wrong.

There are some red flags. From my life experience, tech has always got better...except when it comes to going to the moon.

We should be able to moon walk to the moon rn if you compare tech then to now but for some reason we just went once to "beat" the Russians there

Clearly you've never worked in government. There are a million things that get delayed or squashed entirely for budget or political reasons and you'd be surprised how many of them end up staying that way for decades, even when the technology or demand is there to complete it.

Just because the technology exists doesn't mean it ends up implemented the way some envision it to. For example, as a species we have had the technology to build aqueducts/pipes to move freshwater over long distances for thousands of years now, and the ability to treat contaminated water for nearly as long, yet two billion people on Earth still don't have access to clean, safe drinking water after all that time. Does that mean that potable water systems are a hoax, or that our societal priorities simply lie elsewhere?

People are told how to think.

The US stood to gain global support if they came out as the winners of the space race, so why would it be far-fetched to assume they wouldn't film a movie showing they landed there??
Similar to how 911 gave them carte blanche to go into the Middle East and snatch oil.

Reality is stranger than fiction and if you can't question the narrative than what's the point?

Nothing wrong with questioning the narrative.

Lots wrong if you assume the answer without looking into the topic. Any cursory investigation shows plainly that we did in fact land on the moon.

If you haven't done that investigation, then just say you don't know.

They lost the technology apparently, but I’m not sure what they’re particularly stuck on. Don’t they have ppl who live for months at a time in orbit? So they should be able to build a life support system for the trip.

Is this even that sophisticated?

We have the "technology" to go back to the moon. There just isn't a good reason to do it. Changing the minds of idiots who think they didn't go the first 6 times isn't a good reason.

[Oakvillehoops]

There’s a massive difference between not believing in the moon landing, and not believing any history prior to 1950.

Not believing in the moon landing doesn’t make you an idiot.

Its not a "debate" though. The world lost its way when it became not ok to label idiots as idiots.

Yup, and it's not even just not labeling them as idiots. Now they're "not following the crowd", as if doubting even the most obvious, proven facts was somehow a mark of superior thinking. It's so ridiculous.

Newsflash: doubting history because you weren't there for it is stupid. Claiming these things are conspiracies and lies (for which you also have no evidence because, you know, you weren't there for that either!) is just downright laughable.

Yah Lebron was making the point in the same way.

He was highlighting how guys who were good basketball and very smart off-the-court could still have trouble spatially and visualizing a play that was inverted from the way they practiced. Wasn’t using it to say NBA players aren’t smart, just that it helped him realize there were different kinds of intelligence and levels to BBIQ

He also likes Toronto but hates the winters.
