South African girl doesn't believe in gravity. No really

Engage with people who have some damn sense and you won't have that problem. Vicious, SelfScience, Sammyjax, and RoadRage ain't going to do that shit. They'll stick to the subject at hand and definitely make the discourse interesting. They all seem to be objective thinkers. We know selfscience is an actual scientist, don't know what the others do.

You're absolutely right. I already made the conscious choice to just let that one dumbass float in the wind lol. Now I just watch him get owned by others who don't know they're talking to a wall

Interesting thread.

Exiledking is correct, but, there is no need to sound so condescending. People have different experiences in life and you can't label someone stupid from a 2 minute video on science vs black magic.

I'm responding to HER condescending tone about something she doesn't know. The funny part is people who may take my tone one way dont seem to notice hers. There's some poor guy in there who when she was blabbing on about sending lightening he said "it's not true!" Which is the correct response to nonsense , and the whole room laughed at him. Then the stupid chick who was running this bullshit made him apologize. No, I don't suffer fools , especially those who spit the kinda nonsense she was running off at the mouth with. If anything I consider bgol a safe space where we can lovingly criticize our own people and mock stupid ideas that can get us wiped off the face of the earth. A totally indifference and lack of understanding of science can do that. People like her must be schooled or at least made to know that that idea she just spit is not just a perspective. It's dangerous.

Im finding it hard to believe that in 2016, when modern science has advanced so much, with niggas living in space for years, probes on multiple other planets, amazing discoveries and advances on damn near every conceivable front, and niggas is like nah fuck that. And it appears the anti science movement is actually GROWING. I truly can not understand that shit. What is the goal?

"Yall just believe the MATH that somebody told you."

Marinate on that.

It's really turning into idiocracy. Like, FOR REAL.

We are doomed.

They'll use that technology developed by scientist while trying to refute it. Asinine.

nobody is against technolgy, my problem is there should be a perfect balance..

Folks who are just so gullible to believe technology is the answer for everything

and forget its the sole reason for..

toxic waste

ozone depletion,

rain forest depletion,

animal extinction,

so much garbage we are starting to drown in it..

What long term effect is this going to have on our health, what long term effect is this going to

have on the planet....?

Lets learn to think outside the box and not be quick to hop on a well funded narrative....

Our children and future depends on the choices we make now..

technology is needed but not to the point we destroy our future in the process.

Why is this bullshit thread always on the 1st page?!?

you ever consider a life in politics? cause this was a nice deflection into a pivot about nuthin

animal conservation has shit all to do with this conversation... more so greed

celebrated ignorance, gullible folks distrustful of education knowledge and science is much more detrimental to the issues you listed than technology. Gullible folks are the ones that fall for the okey doke from the greedy EVERYTIME are the sheep- the enablers of the greedy - and in turn make themselves the prey of the greedy.
Greed - the universal mandate for profit is the cause of
toxic waste, ozone depletion, rain forest depletion etc etc

NOT technology, not science... its the proud gleeful disdain of knowledge prevalent in the general public and apathy

the same reasons so many now follow Trump and shout hoax about moon landings, push flat earth...

Yeah, the Internet allows these anti-science nuts to get together in social media safe places. Anyone questioning their bullshit is blocked. The end result is nuts cosigning nuts. As exiledking pointed out, the dumb shit knows no racial boundaries. Cacs are the main ones in this country trying to push creation science.

And whether the anti-science movement is religious-based or based on being against 'eurocentric western science,' they always tend to say the " You just believe it because THEY said it!" shit.

Remember when the Internet was supposed to enlighten the masses?

They'll use that technology developed by scientist while trying to refute it. Asinine.

Yeah, that's the part that blows my mind.
