I get why everyone thinks FE is a psy op. You are right to be suspicious. But the truth is FE is too censored and made fun of for there not to be any significance to it. Obama made fun of flat earth every few months referencing the 'flat earth society'. Incidently the flat earth society is a government psy op with a ridiculous model that no true Flat Earther believes of a floating disk in space amoung spherical planets. They often will not outright delete flat earth channels to avoid the Streisand effect, but they suppress the shit out of them and promote idiotic debunking channels that don't even represent legitimate FE models correctly (straw man). I never even cared about FE enough to make fun of it cause I didn't think it was worthy of attention, why do prominent figures alway attack it like black science man niel degrassi tyson?
I investigated FE for 2 reasons. First it was flat earthers that convinced me the moonlandings were fake and there points were so strong I felt obligated to look into FE. 2nd I made observations many times over oceans that should be impossible on a sphere of earth's circumference even with refraction.
If the moonlandings are fake, then you have to reconsider the public understanding of space, and to what extent we can be lied to. Also the ISS and all Orbiting Satellites are fake.
Sure, reconsider and question. But if you're actually using your brain, FE is obviously retarded.
There is no way, in any configuration, that the sun operates in the way we observe it if the Earth is flat. The only way it was ever feasible was before we knew we could get across the Pacific.
It's dead simple. If the Earth is laid out like a table cloth with some arbitrary cutoff somewhere in the Pacific, the Sun could function as we observe it, but we now know it's not. If the Earth is a disc, with the North pole at the center and the South "pole" being a ring around it, the Sun would operate completely differently from what we observe. There's simply no way it works.
What's so frustrating to me, and why I feel compelled to respond, is that every single FE proponent opens with some variation of "I can see farther than I should be able to, therefore the Earth isn't a globe", but then completely fails to question the ridiculous assumptions required by FE.
It's bias, pure and simple. You just don't want the status quo to be true so you pick facts that fit your feelings. That, or you're trying to poison the well.
A good conspiracy theorist needs to be able to accurately determine whether something is false; FE is a test that many fail and, in doing so, discredit the rest.
Here this will be the future when you are finally able to visit space.
