(i wasnt here for the BoB poast and i dont usually poast in GD or about flat earth, so hear me out).
...yet a 'pale blue dot' spinning at unfathomable speeds in the dark neverending expanse of space, supposedly rotating around the sun, within a solar system thats also spinning and rotating at even more headscratching speeds, all of which is hurtling thru space in our galaxy at even MORE headscratching speeds, etc. IS believable?? lol. y'all swallow up big bang theory as our origin story and don't give it an ounce of side-eye? but flat earth deserves nothing but snark and derision? how is that snap-judgement reaction NOT pure programming?
how come we're so quick to believe the shit we can't even measure or independently verify? too many ppl believe globe earth on FAITH alone, coupled with nasa's unending stream of CGI. it's more of a religion than science. an easy way to start the house of cards falling? find a powerful zoom digi cam, zoom into the night sky and take a close look at a star. tell me what u see.
i think the flat earth argument/movement needs to be treated with an open mind and not utter contempt and disdain. simply speaking those two words back to back, "flat" and "earth", reveals more about the mindset of the person fervently arguing against it than anything else. some of y'all are completely married to our modern models of cosmology and have no room for questioning ANY of it. what exactly is the big deal in entertaining the possibilities? especially when the evidence out there, provided by genuine flat earth researchers, is so compelling? ESPECIALLY when flat earth cosmology elevates human beings as spiritual entities and not strictly earth-bound physical creatures?
i'm a fairly moderate individual when it comes to everything, but i like to go where the information makes sense. and there is quite a LOT of info out there about flat earth which seems logical. there are historical precedents for it. ancient cultures believed it. non-curvature can be verified via simple experiments and your own eyeballs (from any height). the problem is, like any movement that might be scratching at the truth, it got infiltrated and now there are many groups claiming to be 'flat earthers' who spread disinfo and make the moderate logical types targets for hate by making extra-ridiculous claims, by design (the flat disc constantly moving up to account for gravity, for example, is part of the disinfo campaign. most genuine advocates of flat earth believe it's pure density that causes a thing to either rise or fall, no magical gravity that somehow holds the water to the surface of the planet while it's spinning at fucking insane speeds).
the big question most ppl seem to be asking (in this post anyways), is: how? cos it's such a big thing to cover up, it couldn't POSSIBLY be true. when the fuck did that become a valid argument? have not the govts of the world, and the interests controlling them, throughout timeless history, shown they can feed the people any ol shit they want? and the masses will follow? cos we LOVE being sheep? not to mention that any one person, or group, in a position of power that wants to dupe the majority but keep the secrets to a small few, will compartmentalise the information. even within the groups that dominate this world, bullshit is reinforced among the lower levels and the truth is kept to higher levels of the structure/strictly for the adepts.
in order to approach this topic with ANY kind of logic, you need to be open to the possibility of power elites controlling the narrative of this world. it starts with one big lie, saying the earth is an insignificant orb in the nothingness of space. which is meant to already put u in the headspace that we are absolutely not special in the universe. that we revolve around the heavenly bodies, not them around us. that the scientism establishment believes we originated from a big bang, when nothing burst into life and became something. that we were nothing but fragments of space debris. we're dirt. coupled with darwinian evolution saying we transmogrified from ape to human, thereby downplaying whatever spiritual significance human beings possess. u start with one huge piece of bullshit then u can justify all the other pieces of bullshit, in order to oppress and suppress and control.
i guess the main tipping point for me was the permeation of the globe model in all forms of modern media. company and corporate logos, in particular, reinforce the globe model at every opportunity. then u see the flat earth map showing up on shit like the U.N. logo. u watch films/tv shows/read books dealing with concepts startlingly similar to the flat earth model (as in, we're a walled-in society, whether u interpret it via The Truman Show or the ice wall in Game Of Thrones, it's a recurring motif). u got that now-infamous interview with Admiral Byrd regarding his many trips to the antarctic and how he believes there's vast continents and land beyond the ice (sentiments that were expressed before and after his expeditions). the absolute mystery that is antarctica and how pretty much all the nations of the world signed a treaty agreeing not to exploit the land for natural resources? when in the fuck in history has that ever happened? why are there military installations based on the continent? they're pretty obvious questions that yield fairly obvious answers.
when an entity controls all govts, all corporations, all major science establishments, the major religions, all secret orders, and in the modern world, has the crazy-ass technology to spell-cast their version of reality into being? why the fuck would a flat earth cosmology cover-up be so out of the realm of possibility? because we supposedly walked on the moon? cos we sent probes to the far off anus' of space? lol man, nasa is a whole other kettle of fish laden with lies upon lies upon lies. blind trust in this non-govt organisation is, no sugarcoating, pretty fucking stupid. the reinforcement of the globe model absolutely relies on, like any control structure, the blind unquestioning subservience of the people. i think the world's been awe'd into a certain model of time and space so vast and incalculable and mindbending that genuine inquiry isn't ever on the cards. so when they replay the same damn news story about nasa finding other earth-like planets billions of light years away (as they did again recently), even the slightly skeptical mind will automatically flag it as bullshit.
anyways, this is coming from a regular dude. i have no investment in one cosmology or the other, i just like scratching the surface til i get to the nxt layer of bullshit mixed with truth (that's how the masters do), and then keep scratching some more until enough bullshit gets whittled away (that whole 'proving what ISN'T true in order to prove what is' method of deduction). i think most ppl today just stopped scratching. they're happy to be told how the world around them works and happy to swallow the info whole as 100% truth. getting to some semblance of truth requires exposing yourself to the side of an argument you were so sure was wrong. as a former atheist and formerly-ardent believer/lover of modern space/time cosmology, it was as simple as watchin a youtube vid to spark that interest. i then began trusting my eyes: really noticing the vast never-ending horizons (standing on the shores of a beach for eg), the absolute stillness/non-movement of the plane (not planet), seeing no discernible curve even when observing things through an airplane window, seeing that the moon and sun are actually comparable in size and shape and are not millions of miles away, to name just a few.
i know that's a lot of words i just spewed forth but i been on this journey for about 5yrs now & i got opinions n shit. i dont think ive ever posted my take on this online before either, mostly cos of the way ppl will automatically label u in their head for now and all-time. but i had the day off work so here i am lol.
peace,
