touch of insane
People in general are naturally very poor with numbers, quantities, scales and statistics. You need education and training to separate emotional responses from logical ones. A layman trying to wrap their head around the concept of a light year or the number 1 billion or the distribution of a random variable or even simple population ratios has trouble filtering out how it makes them feel from what concept it represents.
For example, I used to work for the NSA, briefly. I guarantee you that these people want nothing more than to leave early at 3:00pm and go home. They do not have the logistic organization or motivation to build undetected underground bunkers in deserts, and if you just spend a second thinking about the money and man power required to do such a thing the numbers break the theory immediately.
But people like to feel special that they “know” something everyone else doesn’t. If they didn’t then their life would continue to be mundane and boring. But if you “know” something and become a self declared SME (subject matter expert) then suddenly you are no longer a nobody. Emotional response over rides logic for ego. That’s all it is.
But then again, maybe I still work for the NSA and I am “in on it” and this message is just to —REMAINDER OF MESSAGE DELETED BY UNKNOWN SOURCE.

He doesn't believe that the moon can be illuminated by the sun yet he thinks that the moon contains some magical light that it can appear as a full moon, 3/4 moon, 1/2 moon and a quarter moon?? Or do we have multiple moons and a different one appears each phase?? The amazing thing is that some of these observations can be duplicated in a dark room with a basketball and a flashlight but apparently CJ chooses to believe some grifters on the interweb.

The moon is made of cheese
To paraphrase Doc Holliday, from the movie "Tombstone".....
There is no bad publicity. There is just publicity.
Some people say that, being remembered for anything, is better than not being remembered at all.
Or perhaps, CJ was just having fun with that post.

The man in the moon said that's not so.
I just looked at that Flat Earth outfit's FB page. WOW!!!! Had no idea there are so many complete idiots. I like CJ, he's a great player and in general is good for pool. That being said he really needs to refrain from showing just how off-the-air he seems to be.
Yep.
No Such Agency
Exactly. This describes all of those QAnon nuts perfectly. A bunch of losers who “know something” that the rest of us don’t.
Thank goodness one of them shot up Hillary’s child sex ring hidden under a pizzeria in DC. Our children are so much safer now.
.From the NSA to gadget cueballs, oh how we've fallen.

“The moon creates its own light is more likely.”
Huh? So, what, the moon has a shade that once a month deploys so it slowly goes from full on, to half exposed, to quarter exposed, to a sliver, to completely dark?
I would think someone as versed in pool would realize a full moon is a straight on shot, a half moon is a 30° hit, a sliver is around an 1/8th ball cut, and a new moon is where you’re looking at the back side of the OB.
Sheesh!

CJ’s a bit of a pool FLERF too, but he makes it work on the table and on screen. LOL and more power to him.

I follow him on FB just to keep up to date on pool news- I wish he would just stick to pool on there. Once in a while he delves into conspiracies that are completely outlandish- comes across as paranoid actually. For example, he thinks that they faked the Oceangate submersible accident for reasons that seem totally incomprehensible- he claims it was some type of distraction ploy from the bigger problems in the world.
