Is it dumb to question and rationally criticize what you are taught, or is it dumb to blindly repeat it and flatly declare everyone of a differing perspective stupid?
People who question the true shape of the world are not dumb for doing so! You have most likely only met the members of the flat earth psyop. Flat earth researchers, on the other hand, are not dumb.
I agree wholeheartedly. Belief is the enemy of knowledge, and is across purposes to objective study of any kind (it’s known as bias).
while refusing to repeat the experiments that proved it the first time
This is a common misunderstanding. We have much to discuss if you are interested! Experiments don’t prove the shapes of physical objects. They have an entirely different purpose in science (namely testing hypotheses). The shape of something is not a hypothesis (nor can it be), and there is only one way we determine the shapes of physical objects - rigorous and repeated measurement (NOT experiment)!
ffs the verification that you are wrong is a sunday afternoon away and yet you are still this fucking stupid...
Many would say the exact same of your position, but I can assure you (after years of diligent study and scrutiny) that the subject and ostensible central question (“what is the true shape of the world, and how can we validate it with certainty as independent researchers”) are far more complicated than they appear. Many flat earth researchers begin with your perspective and set out to do that “one sunday’s worth of verification” and are still at it today. It’s not because they are stupid; it’s because they realize what is wrong with the existing/known/taught “verifications”. As I said, we have much to discuss if you are interested in learning more about what flat earth research really is, as opposed to what the offensively stupid psyop has convinced you of.
