“What a Massive Disservice”- When Joe Rogan Was Annoyed by Flat-Earthers Like Kyrie Irving

Published 03/18/2022, 9:46 AM EDT

There are several people who believe the Earth is flat. But many opposed this belief. In an older episode of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, Rogan shared his thoughts on the subject.

Famous NBA player Kyrie Irving has previously stated his controversial opinion that the planet is flat. The athlete faced a lot of criticism for what he said. Apart from this, he also was doubtful of whether the Earth actually rotates around the sun. He later apologized for what he stated.

He said, “The Earth is flat. I’m telling you, it’s right in front of our faces. They lie to us.”

“When I started actually doing research on my own and figuring out that there is no real picture of Earth, not one real picture of Earth—and we haven’t been back to the moon since 1961 or 1969—it becomes like conspiracy, too.”

As reported by ‘Bleacher Report‘, the athlete, later on, claimed that he was trolling the media. Hence, while his stance is unclear, Rogan’s thoughts are quite clear.

On an old episode of his podcast, Rogan stated how experts who had knowledge about the world created devices for the benefit of people. However, the same devices were being used to make claims of the Earth being flat.

Rogan said, “… aerospace, airplane construction, jet construction, cell phones, computers. Those are the people that are at the top of the f**king heap and these apes that are using these devices to say that the world is flat. You’re doing, what a massive disservice you’re doing to the very minds that have created the thing that you’re using to complain with this ridiculous idea that someone’s hiding the information from all the people…”
