@mathlover @Hyolobrika everything is faked, there is no spoon

@augustus @Hyolobrika 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
And if you are saying this seriously, you are being seriously inane.

@augustus @Hyolobrika Oh dear. It seems you are serious.
Let me laugh even harder. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

@mathlover @Hyolobrika supposing i do believe it's faked for a moment, wouldn't you be forced to agree that the moon hoaxers have some pretty good arguments? i mean given that given after it happened at least a third of Americans had suspicions that it actually happened, how NASA is forced to be constantly firefighting arguments i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_landing_conspiracy_theories and how NASA have not really been effective at crushing moon hoaxerism? you can laugh at it and think they're wrong, but you have to take them seriously if you want to disprove them

@augustus
Not really. I've never heard an argument from them that can't be debunked relatively easily. The persistence argument also applies to anti-vaxxers, flat earthers, "5G causes cancer/COVID/etc." believers, homeopaths, and other nonsense, I'd say that the persistence of the theory despite counterargumentation is irrelevant.

@mathlover you legit sound like you've just been programmed what are the correct things to think and not explored any of the arguments in depth for yourself, perhaps you don't care

@augustus
I am a mathematician. I closely analyze logical arguments for a living and am trained to critically analyze both other people's arguments and my own. No one has a monopoly on truth or a complete paucity of error. Not me, not you, not anyone else.
My original point stands: none of the arguments against a moon landing I have seen so far have held water, and the persistence of belief in a theory over time has no bearing on the truth of it.
But if you have arguments that you find convincing, feel free to present them. I would love to hear them.

@mathlover mathematicians have no courage, even if it were fake you would not be able to say so and find reasons to discount evidence that were in front of your face, academics herd around institutional ways of thinking, i'm not impressed by you
