Is the earth flat?

[Alpha]

Those that think it has been demonstrated to them that the earth is round, have got a very low bar, it's a bit naive, they have not shown anything quantifiable about the earth being round. It is all interpretations, making assertions and assumptions, and they probably don't even realize it.

Objective reality is not an idea, it's not a debate, or an idea of debate that's to be won or lost, depending on your rhetorical garbage.

It's what can be practically demonstrated by claims that have been made. Again the globe can not demonstrate in a practical fashion ANY of what it asserts. It has to make up metaphysics, pseudoscience, explanations, to prop up an image.

Most have no idea of Euclid's Elements and don't have a full grasp of the geometry that is assumed, and what we are actually using. I'll say it again, you don't navigate or construct on a sphere using those principals, it wouldn't work. It's not being accounted for.

They think they have it all sussed, and that's up to each individual, if you want to remain ignorant, that's your choice. I'm not going to judge you on that. You're free to be a ignoramus.

Any time anyone thinks they can quantify the earth being a globe, you come and let me know.

Otherwise, just state clearly that you have a religious faith and a bias, that you're quite content with, and you want to go with that. That would be intellectually honest. I could respect that.

What I can't respect is the pompous nonsense that gets offered.

People don't even have to understand the science they can see with their own eyes, the comparison with religion is nonsensical.

The pomposity is all yours Alpha. You pretend 'the man' is keeping you down and then set yourself apart from humanity. We are all in it together and yet even here in this little micro community you want to set yourself apart as someone special. You refuse to consider anything that threatens your very religious like obsession, as though to do so would be blasphemy.

It's not even your own reasoning you are just posting video after video created by others that allow you to not challenge yourself and bask in the safe cosy warm glow of confirmation bias.

He posts all the quotes without the slightest appreciation that they apply to him more than anyone else taking part in the thread, it’s quite a lark. If you could reason with people like this, they wouldn’t believe such junk. The only solution is to ignore.

Believes that.....

The Earth is flat.

The moon landings were an elaborate hoax.

All space flight is false and faked.

The Holocaust did not happen. It's the Holohoax, and it was the Jews who persecuted and wanted to exterminate the Nazi Germans.



Claims those of us who differ from the above positions.....

Do so from a position of ignorance.

Are just dishing out "pompous nonsense" and "regurgitated propaganda."




Did that pretty much sum it all up? Or did I miss anything important?

I don't know about you guys, but I can't wait to find out what else Didn't Happen, or is Contrary to Everything We Were Ever Taught in any science class.

Pins and needles over here.
