Draymond thinks earth could be flat

[godkiller]

No. No, he didn't simplify his reasoning to "I think therefore I am," which is a butchered quotation of his french anyways.

That phrase was in the first paragraph of an essay, so obviously Descartes had more to say and his philosophy went further. You might have something to what you're saying if he ended his book with "cognito ergo sum" as some sort of existential epitaph, but no. In fact, that was just a minor part of his larger thoughts.

I never said Descartes didn't say anything other than his "I think therefore I am" philosophy. I said that this is the main thing we take away from his writings because, amonsgt all his other theories, this is the best and most accurate thing he devised. Contrary to what you say above, Descartes' major contribution to philosophy is indeed "Cogito ergo sum". Proof:


Cogito ergo sum - Wikipedia
"Cogito ergo sum[a] is a Latin philosophical proposition by René Descartes usually translated into English as "I think, therefore I am".

As Descartes explained, "[W]e cannot doubt of our existence while we doubt … ." A fuller form, penned by Antoine Léonard Thomas, aptly captures Descartes’s intent: dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum ("I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am").https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cogito_ergo_sum#cite_note-3

This proposition became a fundamental element of Western philosophy, as it purported to form a secure foundation for knowledge in the face of radical doubt. While other knowledge could be a figment of imagination, deception, or mistake, Descartes asserted that the very act of doubting one's own existence served—at minimum—as proof of the reality of one's own mind; there must be a thinking entity—in this case the self—for there to be a thought."

Peer review is the best way of assessing whether something is true or not especially as it relates to very specialised fields. That's not to say that being peer-reviewed makes it true, it's just the best way of making the case that something likely is.

Having said that, the point was not the merits of peer review, but that the poster seems to have reserved peer review as being cac. It's dismissive of many black scientists and academics out there who are experts in their fields.

To extent you say that "the best way of assessing whether something is true or not especially as it relates to very specialised field" and that, further, "That's not to say that being peer-reviewed makes it true, it's just the best way of making the case that something likely is". I concur and agree with you.

Keep in mind though that every year there are falsifiable studies that pass review and appear in academic journals (even reputable ones).

One way we know the Earth is (probably round).

2. Ships and the Horizon
If you’ve been next to a port lately, or just strolled down a beach and stared off vacantly into the horizon, you might have, perhaps, noticed a very interesting phenomenon: approaching ships do not just “appear” out of the horizon (like they should have if the world was flat), but rather emerge from beneath the sea.

But – you say – ships do not submerge and rise up again as they approach our view (except in “Pirates of the Caribbean”, but we are hereby assuming that was a fictitious movie). The reason ships appear as if they “emerge from the waves” is because the world is not flat: it’s round.

You negged me when I was being sarcastic breh. If you'd check the other threads you know where I stood on this issue

I apologize then.. This thread is a disgrace is all

 

[Fenian]

Maybe because we are at the center of the universe made by a creator for a higher purpose and that everything else outside this earth is fake.

We could be living in a simulated reality breh and the only evidence for this computer simulation is the fact the earth is flat and the elites are trying to hide this fact from us so that we don't find out we are in a simulation.

Read the Kyrie one this ain't got shyt on that one

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

He said he was mostly home schooled in a Christian home. Interested to see why you think that? Flat earthers don't really affect anyone except YouTube. Creationist definitely have political leverage in this country (Security of Education) and are constantly trying to push they're BS in public schools.

when Betsy Devos is done with the education system


The next generation of kids

we fukked

Well if Kyrie and Draymond are a product of the current education system, and Kyrie from a prestigious college, I can't see Devos making it worse

Ever seen idiocracy? That's what's coming. We really got people in here agreeing with swag that the earth is flat. What a mess

Ever seen idiocracy? That's what's coming. We really got people in here agreeing with swag that the earth is flat. What a mess

idiocracy is a poor movie made by a wanna be intellectual elitist to make himself feel good about how special he was.
Please stop bringing up the movie like its has a connection to reality.
And again, Kyrie Irving has no reflection on the general population

Blake Griffin Does Not Think That Man Evolved From Apes

Why is that dumb?

Blake is partially right....hes's half ape half man.

Black people didnt evolve from apes,but caucasians did.

This whole thread is stupid as fukk. Bunch of smart dumb nikkas

Entertaining though

It's painful to see in the attempt of posters trying to be keyboard militants that they inadvertently shyt on black folk. SMH.

To be honest, peer review doesn't necessarily mean a theory is correct. Most peer reviewers are biased cacs themselves and occasionally accept studies as academically honest and valid if said studies coincide with peer reviewers' political or social views.

Theories are not correct, they're theories. Theories are just "this is the best we could do's" of science.

 

[KingJudah2]

It could be closer.

You would get the same effect with a smaller Sun if it was closer.

big Sun far away = small Sun much closer

Sun doesn't keep the whole earth warm. That's why day/night and winter/summer have such a temperature difference. Further away you get from the tropic of Capricorn and Cancer the icier it gets

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

Theories are not correct, they're theories. Theories are just "this is the best we could do's" of science.

so the theory of gravity is incorrect? just a theory? do you understand the rigors and replication necessary for something to become a scientific theory? Some of you dumb fukks need to go back to school.

No nikka on this forum has seen an unedited, non composite photograph of the Earth in they lifetime but people asking questions are the dumb ones lmao
