I don't get these flat earth people. I'm assuming it is some sort of way to get publicity by being stupid, or, perhaps, some type of mental exercise where one denies all logical evidence as a demonstration of some of the lack of logical thought in modern life.
 
How the fuck did he not look out the window and see the curved horizon? That doesn’t even require a plane, you can do it just by hiking a decent mountain.
 
at this point it really IS a publicity thing. or they really ARE that f'ing stupid.

on the other hand.....i am ALL for them falling off the edge of the earth....if they can find it.

here's an idea....flat earth people.....look in a direction.....any direction....start walking.....and keep walking until you find the edge of the flat earth......keep going.....keep going....
 
Based on the vast collection of scientific data demonstrating the earth is round (well, oval), I doubt looking out the window at a curved horizon will be sufficient to convince these idiots. I mean, there are high resolution photographs and video from space showing the continents rotating around as the globe spins. Of course, you can find these morons criticizing content like that as bad photoshop jobs. I guess NASA, all the other space agencies across the globe, math, and physics are in cahoots to fake this because reasons.

I am not a flat earth weirdo, however, I have spent time with their arguments.

The flat earth argument--at its core--is one based in a skeptical, adversarial position w/r/t received wisdom. There's a paranoid sense that something is being hidden and the powers that be are using information to control behavior and maintain power (which is not a wholly inaccurate thesis in general...even if this case is bonkers). There's a similar theory that our current historical timeline is manufactured and a good chunk of time is missing. The whole thing shares similarities with the Mandela effect scenario...our reality is being fucked with.

At their most esoteric/metaphysical, the flat earthers are arguing for a radically different physical and cosmological worldview than the current scientific materialst perspective. It's. It so much that they're too dumb to understand science, but they argue that science is a flawed method and tool of the oppressor.

A lot of it is rooted in some pretty arcane biblical stuff.
 
This is so simply explained, I can't see how any sane person could argue against it.
And it was sorted out over 2000 years ago.

 
I'm fascinated by the lengths FEers go to to "prove" their beliefs. All of their YT vids are titled "PROOF'" "FLAT EARTH FACTS" etc. It's clickbait. They actually believe that the Earth is special in that it's at the center of all existence which, by the way is only the Earth. No stars or planets. It's flat as a pizza, with the crust being Antarctica. The earth is covered by a glass dome, which they can't explain what this "glass" is made of; Pyrex? Plexiglas? and how long it's been up there. To them, Earth is a giant snowglobe with water in the oceans and water above the glass dome, which they call the "firmament". And here's the kicker: The sun isn't 93M miles away, it's only about 300 miles up (the moon too) and the sun and moon travel in circular motions, going round and round. This is their explanation of night and day. Visible stars and other planets are just lights generated by Nasa. Oh, and satellites are fake. So is the Space Program. All space programs, from all nations. We're all in collusion to hide the "real truth" of the Flat Earth from all of mankind. I've learned all of this ridiculousness from watching quite a few of them.

Their hatred of anyone who supports real science is their enemy, Bill Nye and Neil DeGrasse Tyson in particular. But the entity they hate the most is Nasa. They absolutely hate us. All of the prior missions? Fake. Moon landing? Fake. The ISS? Fake. All CGI.

Just my opinion, but this bunch is a direct result of our failing education system. That, along with sleeping through science class and crazy parents. Then, they grow up and turn to YT for their education.
 
I never know what to say about this sort of stuff. I believe that skepticism is very important, but only to a point...
 
Mmmmm, pizza.

Yeah, I think Kyrie Irving is a flat-earther, isn't he? Some pro athletes are dumb AF.

Click to expand...

People love a conspiracy theory. So much so, that some folks put all common sense aside to follow them. The flat earth thing has kind of taken off lately. I don't ever recall hearing anybody seriously believing that throughout my childhood, or adulthood. Of course, back then we used to have shows like Cosmos, Nova, Nat. Geo, etc, on prime time TV. While those shows still exist, they live on "educational" channels that most young people never bother watching, in order to make room for quality shows like The Bachelor & Real Housewives. :old:
