So Kyrie came out today and finally admitted the flat earth thing was a ruse. However, one of the quotes stuck out at me, "It became like, because I think different, does that knock my intellectual capacity or the fact that I can think different things than you?"
Pardon my french, but that's fucking idiotic. Here's where his point (whatever point he was trying to make) fails: saying the Earth is flat is not "thinking different things." It's literally denying objective facts. If you deny objective facts, then yes, people will, and should, knock your intellectual capacity. If he had said, "Heaven is real" or "pineapples on pizza are good," and he created the same fervor, then his point would have been made. Those are subjective ideas that can't be proven one way or the other. Saying the Earth is flat, however, is objectively false.
It's the kind of bullshit you would hear someone say after getting high (we've all been there). Kyrie tried to pass off his "high thoughts" as some kind of profound statement on our society, which was stupid as shit.
