I’m not typically worried about what anyone thinks. I’m too stubborn to care, and not all that important anyway. I’m agnostic on the subject of flat earth.

I’m actually inclined to the idea that the earth is what we, as a collective, say it is - and that includes the shape of it. I think it's possible that our conditions here are exactly what we (slaves or free) say they are. We might be living in a world in which we - through our belief in viral memes - create our world, depending on the power of them... Or maybe I just drink too much coffee and think about strange things. I’m going to call it the Idiocracy Theory (But I could call it The Matrix Theory, or the 1984 Theory, or Brave New World Theory, or Terminator Theory, or South Park Theory, or the Kek Theory, or the Animal Farm Theory, or This Perfect Day Theory, or 2012 Theory or Time Wave Theory…)

So maybe we could be a little less nihilistic in our memery I’m thinking. A flat earth, contained in a dome bodes a little like we want the worst to be true - we're in a zoo... we want overlords on some level. Or overlords want us to want them. I dunno.

edit: something I have been paying attention to (with some wtf) is the 'no free will' meme.
