RE: The Flat Earth Map is Actually a Globe
I wish that 99% would really understand physics and math. Most people just rely on what they told. (Gurus as you say).
Not every one that knows how to draw an equation on a board knows the truth.
I respect science, but also respect humanity and the great forces in the universe. I think its naive to believe that science has the answer.
For instance, do you know that there is no experiment on the affect of lemon water?
Do you know why?
Because there is lack of financial incentive to research the affect of natural ingredients on the human body.
So please be more open minded, and more ampiric, and dont believe unless you fully understand or at least sense and feel.
There is plenty of wisdom inside you.
By the way, literally two minutes of searching found pages and pages of studies on lemon juice!
Here's just a few:

If you were to actually look and see what I do, I'm a Functional Medicine Practitioner and do all of my own medical research. I have found tens of thousands, or possibly hundreds of thousands of research studies on natural ingredients and diets and how they effect the human body. I've literally spent the last 8 years of my life reading these studies and writing to laypeople about the positive results of these studies.
That is just my point about flat earthers not doing their research. They listen to 'guru's' who tell them that they are 'special' because they get this super secret inside information that no one has ever researched.
All the while, there are tens of thousands of studies on it. But they just simply don't bother.
Who said that I deny the 'wisdom inside of us'? And how did you determine that I'm not 'open minded'? Wow, you are really jumping to conclusions based on nothing.
There also IS science that tells us the answer to things that are NOT empiric. To use 'empirics' and ignore science is not 'open minded' either. Especially since SCIENCE shows us that our senses can fool us. There are thousands upon thousands of optical illusions, and people performing 'magic' is a lucrative business for the very REASON that our 'wisdom inside of us' can be easily fooled.
However, when the 'wisdom inside us', for instance the SENSATION that we live on a still plane, is ENTIRELY disputed by thousands of years of scientific evidence that are repeatable and you are able to do many of them yourself to prove your senses incorrect... well, choosing the 'wisdom inside of you' over thousands of points of evidence is just denial of reality, and is in no way a measure of great intellect.
According to you, we should also believe that people get smaller as they get further away from us, despite 'institutionalized science', whatever that means, telling us that is not what happens. According to you, anyone who believes that people's size does not change greatly when they get far away is simply not being 'open minded'.
Here's a few optical illusions for you. Now tell me that your senses are foolproof. Go ahead, look at them and tell me that the 'wisdom inside of you' is always correct.

Thank you for your efforts. I appreciate your answers. Following you.
I love the part you wrote - "According to you, we should also believe that people get smaller as they get further away from us"
Well you know thet we all know to tell sizes and distance by our inner algorithm.
I must admit though, you did convince in your passion. And I value your good will.
