I thank RM for debating with me today. Since I deleted my argument (as I assumed RM would no longer be active on this site), I will provide my new argument on this google doc. I ask RM to please post his initial argument after mine is completed, thank you.

I do not actually owe you anything and if I cared about this debate truly, I'd be throwing a tantrum about your tantrum and making it clear that your laziness is inexcusable regardless of what you believed I would or wouldn't do.

The fortunate thing for us both is that this debate is unrated and also that upon second thought, I realised just how many people I'd be putting under a spotlight and how much of a threat I'd become to authorities by posting this in such a public manner.

Some things are 'never go back'. A good lesson in life is to never ever post something online, especially in public forums, that you'd regret 'never going back' on. I'm wise and old enough to never ever make this error going forth and me not bothering to have this debate is one of them.

Feel free to say 'he doesn't really believe it', feel free to say 'he's too dumb to defend it' both are what the authorities will be happy you think and happy that I let you think.

If you really are interested in whether or not it was a Hoax, start with this video:


I thank him for his bravery, I do not intend to ever become even slightly famous for my theories anymore and honestly am quitting online debating in general. My professional, emotional/romantic and even intellectual/private life/world are altering and I could even say getting more vivid and rich. I have little interest in typing away in a way that both makes powerful people hate me for writing well/informative and makes people who hate me on this website able to hand me a loss, regardless. I wouldn't care about the loss and made this debate be unrated intentionally so it would only matter how much truth I spread but in hindsight it would have been wiser to go 'naww dude, I believe none of that shit!' That's right, the moon landing was real and I just bullshitted my beliefs on this website. ;) ;)

Enjoy being sheep, at least the shepherds of this world will not come for you.
