Recently, the Nets insider Millsap made a surprising remark on social media: If 71% of the earth is composed of water (to be precise, 71% of the earth's surface is covered by water) , Then why do we have to pay water bills every month?
One stone caused a thousand waves, and netizens joined the discussion. Maybe Mi Shen realized the impact of this incident, and then he even explained: "The water thing is a joke, and many people take it seriously. We pay a lot of taxes to pay for the toilet flushing. I just said That's it. ”
First of all, let’s interpret the first statement of Mi Shen, 71% of the earth’s surface is covered by water, does it mean that we don’t need to pay water bills in our daily lives?
The answer is not as simple as Millsap said. There is a lot of water on the earth, but how to obtain the water, how to turn the water into clean and drinkable water, how to deliver the water to thousands of households, how? Maintenance of equipment. All of these require a lot of manpower and material resources to do and cost. It does not mean that there is water everywhere on the earth, and it can be used directly.
Mi Shen's second remark, he explained that the water issue told us not to take it seriously, just to talk about it. As a star who has landed in NBA from college basketball for many years, it is impossible to convince anyone that he is a college-educated man who is so casually expressing his ignorant opinions. Legendary superstar Karl-Malone alumni).
Although Millsap claimed to be just talking,But the joke is too ridiculous. Just as Irving once said that the earth is flat, he is still mocked by fans for his ignorance.
During the 2017 All-Star Weekend, Irving put forward the "level theory", he believed that the earth is flat. This caused a huge discussion at the time. Many people believed Irving’s remarks, but more people criticized Irving. Even people in the American education circle encircled him. According to a middle school teacher in the United States, some of his students Believed in Owen's "level theory". Later Owen had to apologize publicly.
"At the time I didn't realize the consequences of this." Irving said, "I felt like a conspiracy theory at the time, so I was sorry for everything, all science teachers, they touched When I arrive, I will say:'I have to teach my course again.' I'm really sorry, I apologize!"
Even and Curry once said something like Irving's "level" Say". Curry was participating in a program in which he admitted that he was skeptical about whether humans had ever landed on the moon, and he did not believe in the Apollo project. Not long after Curry made these remarks, he received an invitation from NASA. After visiting the space agency, Curry admitted his mistake and said that he would learn relevant knowledge.
From Oudiping to the Kumo landing, and then to the meter water fee, ignorance is a terrible thing. It seems that playing well does not mean that a person's cultural literacy is high. Although sometimes it is good to ask questions, but words that are too outrageous will not only fail to be effective, but will be ridiculed by the crowd. This requires players to strengthen their own cultural knowledge. Although they are a group of multi-millionaires or billionaires, a person who speaks out without understanding will not only affect themselves, but also affect the fans. I believe no one would like a person who speaks loudly.
