Not sure if you are trying to strawman or not, I didn't bring up the Sims here, my enquiry is into the affirmative claim that we have all been born into and taught that we live on a globe. When I applied my attention to the globe model, I found it was pseudoscience. It was an image backed by sophisticated language, thats it, it's not an objective truth.
It was a thinking out loud thing. I have heard theories that this is some kind of simulation and if it is all flat, I just wonder about the game design. Why does the moon look round though? And why do all the stars appear to be circular? And the sun? Then again I think back to The Lion King and they are of course just shiny things stuck on the black thing up there, but they do seem to rotate it all in a very clever fashion don't they. We have the timing of the simulation down such as with sun rises, moon shapes, and all of that and here we are on the flat earth. I just wonder about the programmers.
