Which is sad.
Because even a 12 year old knows how the tieds work.
I don't think it's so much that he doesn't know how the tides work as much as I think he's a bit...gullible.
I admit having fallen prey to the idiocy of peoples' arguments. You spend a lot of time talking to people who are speaking from cited sources and who are voracious readers of scientific pursuits and then you get confronted with people who are talking out of their ass and the bullshit they spew is so unbelievably stupid you find yourself thrown off and wondering if somehow your information is out of date. Hell, after Two-Face O'Reilly [seriously, ever seen the man on the Daily Show? It's like he realizes that if he tries to pull something over on Jon, Jon's going to rip him a new asshole...and he's probably right to think so] said the "you can't explain the tides" thing, I genuinely had to go looking up information to see if there had been something to disprove the lunar effect of the tides. Of course, there wasn't, but it's such an idiotic thing to say that it completely throws you off your game because...well, in my case, anyway, I wasn't prepared for someone to be THAT FUCKING STUPID. *laughs*
I mean, Mr. Silverman actually kind of pointed that out, in his own quiet way; his facial reaction to the statement is priceless and immortalized in meme form now; the famous "are you serious?" rage-comic face, aptly named, too. When you're confronted with such stupidity, IS there anything you can really say? You'd have to go back and start reciting elementary school educational books to the idiot before you, and is it really worth it?
No.
Faux Snooze loves to pull the Stupid card; it's a card of deceit. You whip that sumbitch out when you're facing someone of superior intellect and it dazzles them into total silence, because these interviews are nothing but soundbytes that last for 120 seconds at most and your audience is a bunch of dumbass hicks who probably think the earth is only 7,000 years old; maintaining the illusion of superiority is all you need to do, because you sure as hell aren't going to start winning anyone else to your network.
This is the Faux Snooze way of thinking, and it's deceptively clever. It's clever...but it's not smart. It's stupidity masquerading as scholastic wit. It's a cheap trick and only the morons of this country buy into it.
