This is a great conversation! As it is certainly off-topic to the OP at this point, would you consider continuing it over on the community I created specifically for the discussion of such topics?
I'll create a post there to discuss it further, or you are free to, if you are game!
Sure, I dont post much. Whats the sub? I normally just post when something catches my eye and these are the type of conversations I like to be a part of. Things were pretty bad the last 4 some years or reddit. Most conversations just ended up with people calling other people dumb without entertaining a single thought.

I am the same, and just post when the spirit moves me. I'm glad to see you are interested in discussion too - we seem to be very rare online (but I doubt that is the reality).

I have become convinced that the bot/shill ratio is absurdly high, and the small percentage (maybe 5 to 10% at max) of real humans there have been conditioned to act that way as a defense mechanism - to keep their beliefs from scrutiny/criticism and to prevent discussing/learning anything new. It's all very sad.
I keep explaining that ad hominem is merely the last resort of the intellectually feeble and almost guaranteed to stop them learning anything new or doing any better - but bots and conditioned people are both slaves to their programming :( I keep trying anyhow! Repetition got them into their mess, and it must be used to get them out.

Excellent! https://communities.win/c/flatearthresearch. I'll make the post right now, unless you would like to do it! (Let me know!)
