RE: The Flat-earth theory is ludicrous! How can people believe in this shit in the 21st century??
In my opinion the main reason people are so willing to believe in the flat earth conspiracy is that they feel like most things they have ever been told in their lives are lies (which in a lot of cases is true), and because of that EVERYTHING they have been told must be a lie. Basically they bring the distrust in what they have been told to know to another level and because of this no matter what they are told they assume off the bat it is not true.
People need to learn to use judgement on each individual topic as its own thing... just because 1 thing is a lie doesn't mean that everything is a lie.
Strange times we live in...
This is exactly my impression as well... there are so many lies out there that at some point one is tempted to think that everything is a lie...
Agreed, and that ignorant thought process is a huge mistake people are making... people need to learn to use logical judgement for each individual topic instead of forming a universal thought process across them all. Sadly most people today completely lack all critical thinking skills (as many are thought in school to regurgitate information back at the teacher instead of thinking for themselves, a method which then follows them through their entire adult life), which doesn't bode well for the future...
Also I wonder what the flat earth people have to say about solar eclipses? Any idea what bullshit theory they toss to try to explain that one away?
Yep... and we see this in miniature with these small influencers like Jeff... the effect is also there when politicians spread things which are not true... their followers regurgitate stupid shit as well... like: the economy is great... minimum wage helps people... and so on... it is really like if they were at school... although 40 years ago there still were students who were able to think for themselves... today... hmmm... I think it has become much worse...
