Now that you're done repeating yourself, would you care to try and answer any of the questions I asked to help you understand?

Question 1.

Does this prove that whatever conception they have for the entire forest (or entire world beyond it) is correct?

Question 2.

Said another way, can you be completely wrong about the shape of the entire world and still make it to the supermarket each day without any trouble? How many trips to the supermarket would it take before you realized (or were in any way affected) by your mistake?


THOUSANDS of times you leave your homes, and wind up where you wanted to be,

Right, just like the ants. You REALLY aren't following the analogy, are you?

I dunno how many times you're gonna leave the house and use SOLELY SPHERICAL COORDINATES to get where you're going,

The answer is most likely none. The vast majority of "ants" do not use spherical coordinates of any kind for travel.

You are fundamentally confusing maps with reality. Maps are tools for travel. They either work, or they don't. The conception of the ant can be completely wrong. As long as they get to the supermarket, it makes no impact to them. They continue to worship and believe their "coordinate system" blindly, and they never realize it's wrong because they are ants.

They don't HAVE PREDICTIVE SYSTEMS you STUPID fucking MONKEY, they go out and crawl, and LEAVE SCENT TRAILS.

By trying to destroy/discard the analogy (instead of evaluate and understand it), you are missing the point entirely.

No, people are not ants (nor monkeys, lol) Yes, ants use scent trails and other methods. The questions I asked didn't pertain to any of that. They were yes or no questions which you avoided answering. Why?

You fucking idiot.

I'm not the one who can't answer two simple questions honestly :( Would you care to give it another try? I asked the specific questions I did to help you understand, not waste your time or insult you!

There IS no ANALOGY

You just don't understand it. Let me help!

When trying to determine the shape of the entire world, IN TERMS OF SCALE, humans are much like ants trying to figure out the shape of the entire forest. The problem (of scale) is directly analogous.

Do you recognize the analogy now?

You've CRASHED and you're so fucking STUPID you can't GRASP that.

Or it's possible you misunderstood me and are acting foolish :( Try to use your words, and avoid ad-hom (the last resort of the stupid). Address the thoughts instead!
