| > If he lies He lies; that is very core to my point and it isn't an if. Just fact check him. He lies. I'll save you some time: Here is a link to an article he screenshots: https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2019/12/spacex-starlink-satell... Here is the time where he shows the screenshot: https://youtu.be/2vuMzGhc1cg?t=441 Here is a sample from the debunking article about him which I linked in my first post: > 7:16 - CSS claims that the reported aspirational costs for the satellites is $250,000 each, citing this article. > A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE ON THIS SECTION OF THE VIDEO! > CSS screenshot the headline for this article, but removed “and Falcon 9 Costs Less than $30 Million”. Why? Because they just finished the section where they claimed Falcon 9 refurbished launches cost SpaceX $55 million each. This is a clear case of intentional dishonesty, rather than so many other instances that could be written off as merely being mistakes. It is far from the only such instance where their motives are obvious as well. Getting back to the topic at hand. My point is that his brand is these lies. He is like a flat earther conspiracy theorist. The lies are the point. The worldview is the point. His video isn't starting with lets look at the facts and get to the truth. Its starting with lets find a narrative that conforms to a view. You don't make the number of reasoning errors he makes while being genuine. Contrasting his behavior with reasonable critics - like Munro - is very revealing. Their opinions vary based on the observed facts instead of facts varying based on the predetermined opinions. |
