It's not a belief the earth isn't flat it is just common knowledge but just because the knowledge is common doesn't mean everyone gets it, sort of like food in North Korea.
It's not a belief the earth isn't flat it is just common knowledge
Belief is a placeholder for knowledge. If you do not know, acutely, and know how you know (i.e. have validated that knowledge rigorously) then you merely believe. "I "know" because teacher told me so."
The vast majority (>99%) of humanity do not know what the shape of the world is, or how to determine/validate that knowledge. They merely believe and repeat as they are required to (through conditioning by rote under the guise of education, from childhood).
just because the knowledge is common doesn't mean everyone gets it
Just because knowledge is common doesn't make it in any way correct/accurate. This is as true today as it is historically. Common knowledge is largely junk, and truth is not a democracy (thank god).
You wouldn't believe you have a dick if your stomach got big enough to block yoir view of it you retarded nigger faggot, kill yourself. You're a fed until proven autistic.
you retarded nigger faggot, kill yourself. You're a fed until proven autistic.
Now that sounds exactly like something tallestshil would say...
When you ignore the content/thoughts and instead attack the thinker, you demonstrate your intellectual weakness and that you lack the discipline to control your emotions (and instead let them control you).
Try harder, if you can. Attack my thoughts! Attacking me instead only proves you weren't capable.
I try not to believe at all, and to either know or recognize that i do not know. Belief is the enemy of knowledge, and to objective study of any kind.
If the earth is flat, it may not have an edge - or perhaps it does and cannot be reached. Many speculative possibilities exist.
Describe in your own words how the earth is shaped and what surrounds it?
Like everyone else, i lack the verifiable data to make such an assessment for the entirety of the world with certainty. Of course i can make more local/limited assessments, however.
It is not spherical the way we are taught, and required to believe - nor is it whizzing through "space" at unfathomable speeds. The spherical world we are taught would require fantastic amounts of, essentially limitless, energy in order to constantly fight against the demonstrable laws of nature.
Some say it is surrounded by water, above and below. "Space" writ large has its origins, unquestionably, in fiction and is also a physical impossibility due to those same demonstrable laws. Nequaquam vacuum.
No one has seen the entirety of the world with their eyes. It may not be possible (such as in your worldview), doubly so if it isn't finite.
It appears to us (locally, obviously) as a largely flat disc stretching out in all directions as far as the eyes can see (with topology, of course) - but in the words of obi wan, "Your eyes can deceive you; don't trust them".
Do you know how to answer any type of question? Why are you physically incapable of talking about things you claim to believe whenever you’re questioned on them? Why can you only talk about things not related to the claims you make?
you are disingenuous and uninquisitive
Literally begging you to answer questions about your own claimed beliefs and you won’t do it.
So, if a person actually wants to learn something, they ask questions.
Why can’t you answer the questions that I asked.
but you copy-paste a list of 20 questions
I have a lot of questions. Surely someone like you–so intimately familiar with your own internal beliefs–should be able to answer them.
and have no intention of learning from them
Perhaps you should answer them first and then we’ll see if this claim is true.
because they are all phrased in a way that makes it seem as an attack.
If they were refutable you would simply do it, irrespective of the phraseology used. Wouldn’t I look stupid if my “attack” questions were debunked? Boy, there’d be egg on my face, wouldn’t there.
Wonder why you don’t just do that.
not a longing for knowing.
I long to know who pays you.
so, why would i waste my time answering you?
Thank you for admitting that you cannot defend your own claimed beliefs which you spam on this board as part of your contract.
so, for the record, i CAN and DO answer many questions about the true observable nature of our world, and proof that i answer number questions in detail exists in my comment history.
Thank you for admitting that you are physically incapable of doing what you claim to be able to do.
your question cannot be answered
Thank you for admitting the Earth is not flat.
it assumes something that is untrue
Said the flat Earther.
its a leading question for the furtherment of YOUR agenda
HEY THERE, OTHER CONFIRMED PAID SHILL! BEEN A WHILE! WHY ARE YOU SO TERRIFIED OF ME THAT YOU CAN’T EVEN REPLY TO ME DIRECTLY WHEN YOU’RE SPAMMING LIBEL? WHY CAN’T YOU ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR OWN BELIEFS?
Why can everyone south of the equator see the exact same stars rotating in the same direction around the same fixed central point in the sky due south of them if they’re supposedly all looking in different directions?
Why are the distances between degrees of latitude uniform and don’t grow exponentially away from the equator?
Why does everyone on Earth get the same result for the Eratosthenes experiment, when people nearer the equator should get a much smaller circumference for the Earth than those nearer the poles?
Come to think of it, was Eratosthenes part of the “round Earth” conspiracy?
Surviving records show that the ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians based their astronomical forecasts on calculations assuming the Earth is a globe. Did this conspiracy begin at the dawn of civilization, or are all ancient artifacts nothing but Victorian forgeries? If so, why has this never been detected by modern carbon-dating techniques?
Why do arc lengths of given angles of longitude decrease rather than increase south of the equator?
Why does the sun not rise in the northeast and set in the northwest, year round, for everyone on Earth?
Why DOES the sun set, when the law of perspective states that the angular size of the sun’s altitude, like everything else, can’t become negative?
Why does the sun’s angular size not change throughout the day or year, since it is “moving toward and away from us” and is “closer than we’re told”?
Seriously, did you fall asleep during geometry class, or are you just completely demented?
If you believe in zeteticism, why do you keep relying on magical and unprovable solutions, which can’t be shown to exist with your own eyes and clearly don’t exist at all? Apparently, zeteticism is just code for “make any old bullshit up and pretend it’s true.”
If all photographs of a round Earth are a hoax, why not simply create photographs of a flat Earth?
A property of mass is that it has gravitational force regardless of size. If the Earth did not have a gravitational field, wouldn’t that imply that the Earth doesn’t physically exist?
Where is the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station located if the south “pole” is the whole circumference of the Earth?
Wouldn’t creating such elaborate fakes and conspiracies cost an equal–if not greater–amount of money than the science they are supposedly covering up?
The idea of the Earth as a sphere has existed at least since the time of the ancient Greeks, long before NASA. What were their financial motives?
What financial motives could NASA have, since their budget is still cut every year?
How could the sun be a spotlight if it is a sphere? On the flat Earth, the light projection would have to be a semicircle.
Why does the North Star goes to the horizon?
Why do constellations appear to be different in the Southern and Northern hemispheres?
Why is the Coriolis effect stronger near both poles, instead of stronger in the north and weaker in the south?
If the circumferential south pole is preventing the oceans from pouring over the edge of the flat Earth, why didn’t the oceans disappear during the incredible amount of time it would have taken for that ice to form?
If the oceans would–if they could–pour off the edge of the flat Earth, where, then, would they go? Does this mean that whatever keeps the oceans on the surface of the flat Earth only operates in a downward direction on the uppermost surface and is absent on the underneath?
Why are satellites visible from Earth with a pair of binoculars and even the naked eye?
How could a flat body maintain an atmosphere?
Why are other celestial bodies spheres but the Earth is not? How, and why, was the Earth created differently?
Hey there, lunatic. Screaming "PAID SHILL" incessantly is not confirming anything but your own fantasy and bias/prejudice.
As for your trivial to answer copypasta, look up the answers i gave you the last time you pasted them - back when i was still silly enough to believe you weren't a liar and/or a bot.
ya, maybe, i see his other comments...FE is super trigger for him
I doubt it. He's/it's full troll, no genuine emotion or action whatsoever - also indicative of a bot. I've attempted to communicate with them at extreme and tedious length.
They can't read or parse responses, so instead they respond as if they are having a conversation with the voices in their head / script copy.
As i said, i sincerely hope - for their sake - that they are a bot.
You are the type of retard to unironically argue this ironic meme as a real point holy shit you don't even realize this is making fun of you and that is hilarious. Unless you're just trolling or a fed which are also suspicions.
LOL @ Definitely_a_Glowie/@Tallest_Fag/@JackAss - We have bots yelling at bots, shills shilling shills, and glowies calling glowies glowies. Did we break their algorithm or something??
No, you just only get to see half at a time, you don't choose which half, and it takes a day to see it all.
Unless you mean flat earth, then my point is void because you can see the inhabited face of the disc at all times. But then what's on the bottom side of a flat earth model? More confused humans?
Back to my point, the ISS orbits the earth every 90 minutes, so no matter where you are, it can see you or it will see you soon.
Yeah. That's the biggest Pro, I'd say. The biggest Con being the slow turning 1/2 earth in frame thing I said.
And a big Pro to setting up on the FAR side of the moon is that no one can see you ever unless they physically go there to look. You could hide all sorts of things on the dark side of the moon.
But your surveillance would instead be looking out into the cosmos. You'd need to deploy a giant mirror in orbit behind the moon to look around the edge and see earth.
So maybe if there's mirrors orbiting within view of the dark side of the moon, we're probably being spied on from outer space.
This is the dumbest shit ever. If the moon was flying above the equator like in the video, you would be able to see the underside of the moon at the equator and the back of it south of the equator and it would never be lit from that viewpoint.
Flat Earth is a Jew conspiracy for all those Talmud lovers. It's always bombarded onto forums to deflect from real conspiracies and divide them. Then it forces the dystopia. It makes conspiracies look like real retards, causing them to be less believable to anybody else.
Dumbass. Is the Sun a disc, is the Moon, what about Mars? What shape are the planets in the sky? Why are you a dumb ass. Mars can be seen as Round like the Moon or the Sun. The simplest observation. Go look at the moon tonight, better when it's full. Watch it all night. Is it a disc? Wait till morning look at the Sun. Why are you on ! flat Planet. The simplest observation is look, they're round.
After doing the simplest observation possible. Why are you a monkey? The rest of your claims are as absurdly pointless.
If there was a webcam on the moon, flat earthers would claim it's cgi.
We both know that you still would find a reason to doubt it.
You don;t care about facts and reason, Your Flat Earth belief is religious, not rational.
Indeed, all belief is religious - very much including spherical earth belief (the norm, most likely your belief as well)
This is often exposed in the verbiage used when they are asked what shape they think the earth is ( ex. "I believe it's a sphere/spherical")
It's not a belief the earth isn't flat it is just common knowledge but just because the knowledge is common doesn't mean everyone gets it, sort of like food in North Korea.

Why hasn't a Flat Earther traveled to the edge of the world and made pictures?
Why hasn't a Flat Earther landed on the moon? It should be easy since it's so close by.
The same reasons you haven't.
Ditto.
So you believe that the flat earth has no edge?
Describe in your own words how the earth is shaped and what surrounds it?

Then how does it look like?
No one has seen the entirety of the world with their eyes. It may not be possible (such as in your worldview), doubly so if it isn't finite.
It appears to us (locally, obviously) as a largely flat disc stretching out in all directions as far as the eyes can see (with topology, of course) - but in the words of obi wan, "Your eyes can deceive you; don't trust them".
There's no power source to plug the camera and transmitter into. Battery power wouldn't last long enough to be worth it.
What's keeping you from putting one there if it is so easy?
The Mars rover runs on plutonium.
Dipshit shill. If you have DirecTV or Dish, there’s an entire channel with a dedicated livestream from one of their satellites, as well.
Why can’t you answer any questions about your claimed beliefs.

At least someone is entertained!
The only bot/glowie missing is free_will_of_FAG! Where is that one??
A lot less fuel intensive than satellites to keep stable, but you only get to see the planet once a day instead of once every 90 minutes.
Doesn't your moon show up in the sky overhead about once per day, usually at nighttime?
No, you just only get to see half at a time, you don't choose which half, and it takes a day to see it all.
Unless you mean flat earth, then my point is void because you can see the inhabited face of the disc at all times. But then what's on the bottom side of a flat earth model? More confused humans?

Where are JWST and Hubble?
Check out the webcams https://www.antarctica.gov.au/antarctic-operations/webcams/ and https://www.usap.gov/videoclipsandmaps/spwebcam.cfm
You can clearly see for yourself that for many months there is 24 hours of sunshine per day there.
It is interesting to note that solar panels are installed upside down there to collect the most solar insolation.
This is the dumbest shit ever. If the moon was flying above the equator like in the video, you would be able to see the underside of the moon at the equator and the back of it south of the equator and it would never be lit from that viewpoint.
