Science, in its arrogance, is about to fall.
As a Flat Earth Theorist and major Destiny fan, I have always believed that the imagery of Destiny actually speaks to much deeper social issues. [url=https://twitter.com/DeeJ_BNG/status/844723594726813697]And as my recent exchange with Deej on Twitter has shown, Bungie holds strong beliefs regarding the shape of natural reality.[/url] And even if they subscribe to round earth theory, I am still convinced that they would be the first to admit that science as a practice is broken. And now the Destiny 2 trailer has shown us the next big thing: the tower has fallen! In all its pride glory, protected by the dead shell of a god, the heart of The Last City lies in ruins and chaos! But from that ruin new voices emerge: Cayde and Zavala speak out, offering hope for the weary and downcast. In the midst of this darkness, there is also hope.
That is the message bungie is trying to get across.
And I think they know that we as a society live at the end of an age. Soon, science will fall and times will seem dark for those who placed their faith in it. But just like the tower science was small and limited: it trapped its most powerful voices (cayde, zavala, etc) in one room. It allowed rampant corruption (eververse, xur, master rahool) to flourish at its very heart. Science has done the same in society, leading children to believe men walked on the moon, or that life would even be possible on a round earth. It makes billions in ill gotten gains from the nasa scam. But soon it will fall. The voices of reason that populate the internet are a force it did not count on, a force it has not prepared for. And soon, with its downfall new voices shall emerge from its ashes resolute and ready to lead. Like Flat Earth Theorists, I think Bungie will be one of those voices...

In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue to disprove dumb idiots like you

I think Krishna got a D in a middle school science class and is still upset about it... He doesn't believe in math either, so repeating middle school must have made him really mad.

I will try very very hard not to get banned from the forums....... But you are a clueless (not ninja friendly word)

If the earth is flat then why is the horizon curved? If NASA is a big scam... then where do all the pictures come from? Where do all the satellites and probes go? How do we know so much about the universe and how it works (albeit we've barely scratched the surface)?

Troll or not, do NOT reproduce.

You asked DeeJ what his opinion was on flat earth and he gave you a picture of a curved earth. I don't see what that leaves open to interpretation regarding what his opinion is.

I think it's their way of saying; [i]D1 Crucible was a cluster-blam!-. We couldnt balance the weapons and all the abilties just added to the problems. If we somehow strip people of their powers and weapons we can use that to justify a more vanilla pvp experience, which probably also will lead to a more competitive one. Sure, people who progress through the story will eventually get their powers back but since PvP is a day 1 expereince we'll just keep "Day 1 ", meaning a minimum of options. [/i]

You think a company that has taken three years to get ONE game right--will be a voice of reason? You think a company that is so rampantly corrupted by ineptitude and greed--will be the voice of reason? And here I was thinking your flat earth ideals were lunacy. [spoiler]Remember: the Flat Earth Society has members all around the globe[/spoiler]

No it's "Silence will fall." But the Doctor stopped it.

Don't you belong on the off topic forum?

Flat Traveler theory: the Traveler is flat and the spherical shape is an optical illusion. Bless the Traveler.

And this is why I support abortion

People see science as absolute authority in our secular society. Put "Science says" in front of everything and it is readily accepted by so many, which is sad. Science says this post is cool. Science says evolution is a fact. Science says we are all just soulless beings that live and then die.

You're like the vegan of science

I'll bet you also like flat chests.
