I don't know who Don Petit is and why I should take his word as being at all relevant. When videos use sound effects repeating a statement multiple times. lowering the voice, I immediately think of the brainwashing techniques of Edward Bernays.

If authority somehow agrees with something I think, which will inevitably happen because they are so many, I won't just change my ideas to contradict because eventually you'll be twisted into contradicting yourself much more often.

Bottom line is I don't know and don't care because it's not fundamental to the real issues facing us now. I just kind of regard flat earth ideas as an anomaly. Why fix on that? There are lots of issues out there that are far more damaging to the human race. If I get sidetracked by that, it just helps authority.

I hear you you . Sorry to be a bother.
