Don't try to reverse the roles.

So here's the way it goes. When you do not find the info you like (e.g. [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical_evidence_for_the_spherical_shape_of_Earth]this[/url]) you start looking for it until you find it (e.g. [url=https://theflatearthsociety.org/home/index.php]here[/url]). Then, you proclaim it's [i][b]good [/b][/i]info because it confirms [b][i]your [/i][/b]beliefs (not because that info is factual or derived using scientific methods). Then, you proclaim that all other sources are from the [i]controlled opposition[/i], or are[i] fake news [/i],[i][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_propaganda]black propaganda[/url][/i], etc...

I am sorry you drank the Kool-Aid...

So you seriously think that the 'flat earth society' is NOT the very thing I talked about but the real deal. Just shows how easily fooled you are.

Now we know the Real origin of the term "Earth's Crust"... they're not fooling me any longer!

Pie-shaped or Pi- shaped? :think:

Crop circles... now there is an interesting topic... they are ROUND AND FLAT.. so people on both sides of this argument get a piece of their preferred pie. Hey... wait a minute... we haven't even considered a pie-wedge shaped earth yet! Hmmm....

Yes, I believe panicking is the optimal solution here. ;)

Wait, I thought [i]we[/i] were the guys [i]controlling the opposition[/i]. :think:
At least I always get my (huge) monthly paycheck from the [i]Galactic Reptilian Council for Enslaving the Earth Population by making them think that they live on a globe[/i].
Should I be concerned?

Whether the Earth is donut shaped, flat, oval, triangular... it has no bearing on my daily life.

We are kidding about it but when you watch things like this: https://www.bbc.com/reel/video/p07h3yc0/flat-earth-how-did-youtube-help-spread-a-conspiracy-theory-, I can't help but ask: why is anybody believing in this?

you don't seem to understand that there is such a thing called controlled opposition. whenever you search 'flat earth' you will almost ONLY get controlled info on the subject. infact, it's very hard to find any good info unless you REALLY make an effort.

clearly lots of ppl in this thread only want to make jokes, they don't want the truth because then they would have to change.

Yeah, thanks for sharing.... I guess it goes the idea of enabling faster more efficient spread and aggregation of misinformation. :think:

Oh you're right! shoot! :HeHe:

was thinking we're just kidding here ... maybe useless ...

I don't disagree. Falsehoods are also not eradicated by continually discussing them as an alternative to the truth. I was playing the devil's advocate because there is nuance. This thread is basically a lot of very good arguments in favor of science. If we are arguing against an insignificant minority we should consider that simply by acknowledging the other side of the "debate", we are lending credence to it. I don't know where the balance should lie. The thought that it should not occupy a prominent position on this forum is worth considering.

Falsehoods are not eradicated by sweeping them under the rug...
