That is incorrect . There are HUGE differences between attempts to categorize humans into sub categories (ie “races”) and in describing the physical shape of the planet we live on and therefore the physics of the universe.

Where to draw the line: how Platonism haunts our discourse and the search for exorcism
by slimboyfat inin the discussion about race i adopted a position i am not entirely comfortable with.
i think there is a sense in which it is useful to distinguish categories of description that can be fruitfully defended (apples and bananas) and those that cannot (caucasian or other racial descriptions for example).
but there is a more fundamental sense in which i believe that everything is socially constructed, every single line you can think of.

I love that otherwise intelligent people are arguing a point that most people considered settled in 1492 AD.
3 kinds of people.

Well let me first clarify, i dont see any post i expressed delight in tearing him down. I laughed at the greatest man photoshop because lloyd is an arrogant SOB. I formed this opinion from my personal interactions with him and nothing he has done or said has changed my impression of him.
As for the rest, he wrote a book. If he didnt wish to speak of it or be questioned on it then perhaps he shouldnt have spoken of it. In a book. That he wrote himself. And published. And profited from. You dont get to choose which parts of a book people read once you write it. And publish it. And sell it.
As for your ridiculous comparisons to being df’d.... please. Because i think someone is an ass and dont want to deal with them dosent equate cult shunning. Thats called life. We dont all see eye to eye and we dont all like each other as besties. To take personal decisions and try to equate them to cult instituted shunning trivializes the pain inflicted by the cults manditory shunning. It also takes away the responsibility i willingly bear for having a view of a person.
In short, if didnt wish to share it then he shouldn't have shared it. Its public domain. He can clarify or not but its 100% a legitimate topic for discussion.
(edited to add: i see someone disliking your posts, just want to say its not me. Im happy to discuss why i feel as i do and bear no ill will towards you simply because you feel differently)

Dub, i felt the same until i realized he wrote it in a book. On purpose. And refuses to answer questions. A simply ‘bad choice of words’ would clarify it. He wrote and published it and now refuses to clarify. Thats on him.

Tragically, the flat earth debate falls into three catagories: trolls who find it hilarious, fools who argue with them and the most dangerous of all, morons who buy into it.
