Anybody that isn't willing to question the most basic fundamentals of anything that they've been told since birth is a sheeple that can be easily herded by the powers that be.. whether or not the earth is round or flat
You can question, but the answer is what determines your worth. The word sheeple was coined by people with big mouths and small IQs in order to justify believing in things that are demonstrably wrong. I would avoid using it in future.
I don't know who coined the word and neither do you, but it's a very appropriate term for the unthinking masses that follow the herd regardless of whether it's over a cliff, into a slaughterhouse, or just to get sheared. And regarding low IQs, I can assure you that the IQ of the guys that are seriously questioning the earth model are way, way the f**k higher than the average. If you want some proof of this, have a genuine listen to Jeffrey Grupp sometime at http://www.zeteticism.com/. Jeffrey was a math prof at the University of Michigan teaching the philosophy of science and the scientific method. He's all about directly observable evidence and doesn't accept anything but. Until you are intellectually honest enough to do this, stop insulting people on a topic you've never taken a hard look at because you've already made up your mind before assessing the masses of contradictory evidence out there.. They may not be right, but I can assure you that the model we are given isn't either.
Interesting, you call me intellectually dishonest while assuming I haven't read the arguement against a flat earth while I actually have. Assuming that somebody knows less about a subject because they disagree is impressively intellectually dishonest.
Let me be clear, I do not believe most of what I am told by anybody and I am most suspicious of information coming from government and media, but the flat earth is just nonsense. To make the model work you have to Ignore so much demonstrable physics.
If any flat earther were to actually prove that the earth was flat, they would get Nobel prizes, book deals, grants and scientific commendations, world wide fame and riches and would go in the hall of fame for ever. I would suggest if you really believe in a flat earth you work on that...
I would be interested to know how many actual days you've spent really researching the claims of the flat earth guys, who you've seriously listened to, and what exact topics you've followed up with research on to come to your conclusions.. That is my definition of intellectual honesty..
That is a ludicrous thing to ask for, who in the hell keeps a log of time spent reading, with links and time stamps. This is another perfect example of dishonesty... ask for records that nobody outside of a professional research facility actually keeps and then somehow claim victory in it's absence. I don't know a single person who keeps detailed records like that and if you do, then good for you (in a strange obsessive-compulsive way). So no I can't tell you exactly how long I've spent, my interest is in epistemology so I read lots of things about lots of subjects within that context. I have a couple of points:
Insinuating that because you have (possibly) read more about flat earth, that it makes you more correct is utter nonsense. There is no correlation between time spent and truth. Somebody could spend a lifetime reading something incorrect and it gets them no closer to the truth.
If the conclusion of an arguement is demonstrably false then reading the premises is purely academic.

Man, this cryptoviking is an asshole. What a brainwashed idiot.
The irony of that statement is impressive.
