A Modest Proposal to solve the "Why Can't You Just Answer The Question?" question.

A Modest Proposal to solve the "Why Can't You Just Answer The Question?" question. (whatever)

submitted 5.9 years ago by thisistotallynotme

So, when was the last time you had a Flat-earther, high on his own confirmation bias and lack of knowledge of science, send you a youtube video of random bullshit designed to trigger an otherwise intelligent autist, and ask you to play the "calmly explain science to an idiot that thinks he's right" dance? Today was mine.

As someone that advocates that stupidity should indeed be painful, I'm very tempted to set up a contract for retards (Flat Earthers are a mere particularly annoying example) that want me to explain basic science to them: Every accurate explanation I give to a youtube video is tacit authorization to engage in 5 minutes of active combat with no pads or rules of engagement in exchange for the work I'm doing.

The reason being is that if you can't appeal to their (lack of) intellect, you can at least depend on any base animals's "pressure and release of pressure" mindset to kick-in after one or two good five-minute street fights where they've broken a bone or lost at least a tooth in order to counter-act the confirmation bias these videos prey on. Plus, I'd have a lot of fun watching someone stupid enjoy some physical pain as a response to their stupid, AND it would stop people from smugly repeating shit without doing a cursory google/duckduckgo/searx on the questions asked. So it might even be a win-win for everyone in society.

Would anyone be interested in such a contract template?

Wait, are you agreeing to my contract above? You want a 5-minute street-fight with me if I perform?
I mean, I'll feel really weird beating up a woman.

I would love a street fight with you 😂 You probably are the type that would hit a woman right?

Never have, but I get the impression that I'm not the first man you've tried to get to hit you.

So, are you agreeing to a street fight? Who do we use as an ecscrow for our identities? And where/when do we meet so I can start debunking?

I'll fight you! You wouldn't be the first piece of shit I punched in the face!

@srayzie, this guy is a tough talker, but I suspect when it comes down to it he's the massive vagina type who wouldn't hesitate to call the police if he felt "threatened"!

A whiteknight appears!

What a shocker. However, you haven't posited any questions, so at this point, you're ineligible.
However, I am open to a steet fight with both you and srayzie for 5 minutes. I bet if I could get you to swing at me and hit her, you'd collapse into a puddle of apologies. That'd be worth it in itself.

I wonder if he'll take me up on it? I should make a disclaimer, I did take karate as a teenager 😆!

I already told you, you have to ask me a flat-earth question to debunk first.

Then we get someone to set up escrow for our identities, arrange for a time to meet, and I'll happily answer EVERY question you want to ask about Flat-Earth!

I'm taking you up on it, as soon as you ask me a question!
