2 questions for those who subscribe to flat earth theory: 1. What do you believe the motive is for the lie? and 2. Even if you're right, what do you believe would be the benefit of everyone learning the truth about it? How would the world knowing the truth benefit from this knowledge?

Respectfully.

Full disclosure: My own personal conspiracy inkling is that flat earth theory is a deep state psyop created for the express purpose of discrediting more valid and damning theories (because it's certainly used that way) but I won't argue that point because at this point it's just an inkling. I'm always open to hearing all viewpoints on a subject until my mind is completely made up. Admittedly I've only watched a few videos and read a few comments on the topic so I won't press my theory too hard. But that's the truth about where I lean at the moment. I'm always open to more evidence.

I'm open to that as a possibility. I have to admit though, I personally like the idea of space. Just watched every single Star Trek movie every made (including Star Trek 4, the whale one, unfortunately) and I sure love the idea of there being a federation of planets we can join one day. Traveling the stars. Idea makes me happy. Not sure what reality is really like but I admit it's possible that my affinity for this construct could make it more difficult for me to see the truth if in fact something else is the truth.

Space is merely distance between two objects. Space is objectively real. What's beyond "the ice wall" who knows, but it's just more space for things to fit in. Go above or below, within or without, and you find infinite space. Maybe the thing we see in the sky is not the thing we think it is, but saying space is fake has to be confined to that construct only (assuming the FE construct is true in the first place).

the idea of space

  • SPACE, noun (Latin spatium, space; spatior, to wander)
  • A'LIEN, adjective (Latin alienus, from alius, another)

Being "one" able to "wander" implies wandering (space) among another (aliens) and since flow (inception towards death) doesn't identify form (life)...since IDEN'TITY, noun - "sameness" ; while form implies difference...form (life) within flow (inception towards death) represents an unidentified flying object (UFO).

As for "black holes" and "big bang"...written by the same perverts who suggest "nuclear bombs" (from NU'CLEUS, noun [Latin a nut.]) between "fat-man" and "little boy"...

My own personal conspiracy inkling is that flat earth theory is a deep state psyop created for the express purpose of discrediting more valid and damning theories (because it's certainly used that way)

That is a good instinct. It is certainly used that way, but it is not the psyop’s primary purpose - it’s a fringe benefit of it due to its success.

The primary purpose of the psyop is to prevent any earnest discussion or research into the valuable subject. It does this a variety of ways, perhaps chief among them falsely conflating contrived offensively stupid ideas with it and those who would dare to study it. In my view it is a case of “the woman doth protest too much”, because there is no other reason to spend so much money on an advertising campaign (i.e. psyop) to convince people an already ostensibly stupid idea (the world is flat) by default is too stupid to ever bother looking into...

I'm always open to more evidence

I encourage you to join us on flatearthresearch to discuss such evidence, methodology, and generally exchange our views!

Thank you for a less emotional flat earth post, my mind isn't made up eather, but when people don't understand the theory, and just attack it, it pushes me farther to flat earth

Great points. How do we really know what we think we really know? A LOT of what we assume we just assume someone smarter than us figured it out and we accept their word as authoritative rather than saying "Wait, prove that to me. Don't talk down to me. Prove it to me. Or show me how to prove that to myself."

It could be really exhausting to do that for every little thing we learn but honestly it's starting to feel like if we don't learn to start doing that, we'll never get out of this hole we're in (or this plane ;) ).
