RE: The Flat Earth Map is Actually a Globe
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.
