If one news source reports "this is a sphere", and another reports "this is a sphere", and yet a third reports "this is a sphere", then you better go find and listen to the crackpot insisting it's a cube. Otherwise it's a sure sign you're in a bias bubble. There is no underlying truth about the shape of the thing, so any similarity in reports must have come from the reporters being hacks and bullshitters. Why yes, I am very smart and a free thinker. Let me tell you how you must be in Plato's cave for accepting the sphere-narrative instead of my preferred cube-narrative. I wonder why I am perceived as arrogant and tedious?
- narrator 5y agoYes your argument is brilliant!! Let me use your reasoning for a second: My post was the equivalent of "this is a sphere." Your reply is the equivalent of "this is a circle.". Thus, you are wrong. Why? Because math. If you want to argue like this, I'll be here all day. :). Btw, when you have two opposing viewpoints you are supposed to use your reasoning skills to determine truth, not apriori decide what is true as if it's an abstract math problem and stick your fingers in your ears so you don't hear any disturbing contradictions.
