What do you think of this new massive "debunk" of our theories?
if this was meant to “derail” larries, it’s a pretty terrible attempt. the whole thing reads like someone swallowed a thesaurus and hoped big words would make their points sound smarter. i got halfway through before i completely lost the plot — not because i’m “not intelligent enough,” as someone might try to say, but because actual articles and dissertations don’t need to be written like a word salad to be understood. with so many new (and younger) larries around these days, most of them won’t get through it either.
it’s a good example of linguistic/persuasive manipulation. in some cases, they’re trying to control the narrative by overwhelming the reader. this is common in “debunks” that rely more on tone than evidence. they want to sound smart, not be right. they’re dressing up their argument in overly complex language to make it sound more legitimate or authoritative than it actually is.
and even looking at it from a non-larrie perspective, a giant “debunk” does… nothing. it doesn’t stop anybody, it doesn’t change anyone’s mind, and i genuinely don’t understand the purpose.
so the only thing i’ll actually say is this
if larry wasn’t real, why treat the idea of it like a threat?
