RE: Behind the Curve ... ( A look at the flat earth community)
People do lie a lot. However, the "they" aspect of the equation is something to look at. who are these "they"?
With the flat earth, "they" had to mean... every single person who has ever studied the cosmos. Every single member of all space exploration/observation program, from all the governments in the world for, I don't even know, how many centuries. Maya astronomy... not sure if they said the earth was round, but they did track all it's movements (and other planets) in detail. Movements that confirm the shape of the earth.
I mean... it's almost impossible that such worldwide, timeless cover-up is going on, especially for something that seems quite irrelevant.
Why would "they" lie about this? I'm pretty sure "they" didn't lie about this so that "they ""could lie" about other things.
Questioning things is a must, essential... but that's the worst part of this idea... it discredits and shuts down anyone who questions anything ... because "they're crazy, just like this falt earthers". People won't be able to expose some other relevant, important and obvious lies, because of this.
In the 15th century, a Portuguese explorer (and his crew) Circumnavigated the globe. Since that it has been common practice. Boats, balloons... you name it.
Personally, I'm really not about to try and convince them about the facts. They will never change. A lot of them have lost contact with their families, friends... all because of the flat earth... they are never letting it go. Experiments they do, show the earth is round and still they don't accept their own research... (A bit like end of the world cult members... after the world dosen't end on theri date... they will come up with something to justify their posture) Once anyone has taken a stand on anything, it's very hard to change their minds... and in this case I see it being extra hard.
So even if I had the time, it wouldn't be for me. But hey, if you can plant any seeds of common sense in any of them, I think it would be a great service for all of this. I'm all about letting people believe what they want... but this belief is very harmful to any future challenge of the status quo.
So if you can, show them something good, please do it!!!
I think a reality Tv show about the flat Earthers on a journey to find the edge of the earth would be something spectacular. heheheh
Letting Go
Good ideas. It's hard to let go of ideas, people, things, generally. It's all about growing up. It's a thing people can learn to do, but it's still hard. Yeah, lots of people have known of our round earth for many centuries. That's very true. So, they may not really know enough history.
Reality Flat Television
Didn't they make some curved or round television screens? Kind of funny. Like, we love round things. So, why wouldn't more things be round and why wouldn't the other planets be round. Oh, wait, they appear to be round. Plus, the wind seems to be influenced by the shape of the earth. Plus, gravity as well. Plus, shadows. Plus, the thing about the sun. Plus the moon, the waves. The list goes on and on. Yeah, a reality television show about finding the edge is a great idea.
Yeah, just hope someone makes it!!! I'll watch it for sure!!
