Thanks for weighing in. I think the big problem is that people have been lied to by the government so much and there are so many conspiracies that they simply can't distinguish between conspiracies any longer and have just capitulated and said that everything the government says is a lie.

They have some good points, and want science to be something that they can see with their own eyes, but then ignore all of the obvious ways we CAN see the earth is not flat with our own eyes and a bit of intelligence.

It really almost seems more like a cult. It's very strange.

Sort:  

my pleasure, as I said. As far I can see, the flat earth phenomena is a joke played on the conspiracy theorists in a cruel blow to speculative inquiry on the nature of truth. Science is a lot of ifs and buts. many theories are best guesses and are suitably replaced when someone comes up with a better explanation for a given mystery

OUR FLATLANDERS

are ironically channeling & misinterpreting the work of Edwin Abbott Abbott https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatland

in Flatland

our protagonist, the sphere, challenges the inhabitants of flatland that they are no more than 2D projections of a 3D world. When the sphere is asked could he not be a 3D projection of an object in the 4th dimension, he is insulted. I think we're nearer the truth of being the sphere here..and flatland was written in 1884
