The sole purpose of being a flat earther is to be a very difficult person to deal with, so the content of their little belief system is irrelevant.
They’re the sovereign citizens of earth science.
Not to mention, there are new beliefs now [Dan Olson / Folding Ideas @37m]
Such a plot twist. Hit hard. Even though it’s called out in the video’s own description.
I do recommend everyone watch the whole thing from the beginning.
This is so succinct and good, thank you ha
This is the correct answer.
For most of them nothing is real, neither the stars nor the planets, and any mention of those things before modern days was planted by the shadow government or something. Some even think the moon is fake too and the sun is some kind of big light bulb in the sky or whatever.
More than believers, they are deniers, of everything.
My interactions with them point to them not believing those things are real at all, or are not planets, etc.
I’ve been told they’re a projection put in the sky by God to test our faith lol.
The one flat earther i know believes the sun and the moon are just spotlights held up from the ceiling of a giant dome.
but the dome is round, yeah? :>
The flat earth conspiracy is just made to make money of dumb people. There is nothing more to it and what ever they believe doesn’t matter.
Flat Earthers aren’t real
I’m definitely not a Flat Earther, but I watched a documentary about them and a lot of them seem to think the Earth is flat and the sky is like a glass dome, and the other stars and planets are presumably just projected onto the dome somehow? Kind of like this: https://metro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/flat-earth-1.jpg
As for what’s beyond the dome or why nobody’s ever encountered the edge of it, I honestly couldn’t tell you lol.
I don’t think flat-earthers are capable of indulging in concepts like other planets. They’re entire personalities are completely dedicated to indulging in their silly “theories” and insisting that it’s important.
For example, have you ever asked a flat earther what possible incentive could there be for “the government” to lie about the shape of the Earth? The only answer they’ve ever given me is “control”, then they get very smug as if this someone proved something and won’t really discuss it any further. I don’t think they’re capable of imagining anything beyond that.
I can’t imagine how the shape of our planet can be used to control us. I mean, if the earth was neither round nor flat, but… I don’t know, toroidal. How would that affect our behavior?
Is non-Euclidean geometry more likely to make the population docile?
And why not use the flat earth as a form of control? Since that vision is much more limited than the traditional one, since there is no space, no gravity, no planets, no stars and no cosmos. Just what you can see and nothing more.
The closest thing to an explanation I’ve ever gotten was “it’s about control of information maaaaaan!!! Wake up and stop listening to the LIES!”
I chose to end the conversation at that point
If you’re trying to apply reason to the theory, I think you’re misunderstanding the theory.
When you dig to the roots of flat earth, it’s a “don’t trust the secret globalist government feeding you lies” kind of thing (Aka a dog whistle for antisemitism)
I can never tell what they really believe. But I once saw a picture about flat earthers.
It basically said other planets are round because they have been observed to be round. But Earth is flat because it has not been observed to be round.
Though if they did see Earth from afar, I’m sure there would be some excuse as to why it’s fake.
Aren’t all of those just fake images the government displays on the dome LCD covering the world inside ice walls? If they were real they would have dropped out of the sky already.
The claim is “Earth isn’t a planet”, sometimes with the addition of “space isn’t real”.
Here you go. A deep dive. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh4ze5bWLcI
