I think the conspiracy this exposes is Someone or group is trying to convince people the earth is flat.

It's to convince normies that "conspiracy theorists" are all insane and they shouldn't doubt official government propaganda.

Exactly. Flat earthers weren’t even really a thing until Netflix did a documentary on them like 15 years ago. Now it’s like 90% trolls and is a great way to show normies how crazy all those conspiracy theorists are.

By saying silly things that are trivially demonstrated wrong?!

The true purpose of the flat earth psyop is the opposite!

It is to ensure that no one seriously examines or discusses the subject because it is valuable to do so. It is labeled a "conspiracy" (when it plainly isn't one) for all the same reasons other legitimate things are - to slander, suppress, and disable general knowledge (and expression!) of them.

What do they have to gain by stating the earth is round? What advantage would that produce? I know they lie when the truth will do, but I just don't see how hiding a flat earth would benefit anyone

What do they have to gain by stating the earth is round?

a) Waves (life) within a line (inception towards death) can be tricked to turn against each other within circular reasoning.

b) Perception within perceivable implies center of souROUNDing...the suggestions by others tempt ones consent off-center and into CIRCEcumference.

c) What do few gain if many willingly ignore everything perceivable nature offers for the suggestions by few?

What do they have to gain by stating the earth is round? What advantage would that produce?

Keeping their job. Imagine a (science or otherwise) teacher (or most any other professional) NOT stating that the earth was round... How long do you think they would last?

One of the tactics of the psyop is to slander the subject as some sort of "conspiracy" to suppress it. Indeed this is the purpose of the terminology "conspiracy theory" outright.

The shape of the world is not a conspiracy, and humanity requires no help (nor conspiracy) to be stupid and wrong as it historically always is.

Teachers teach students that the earth is spherical because they were taught, and believe, that is its shape. There is no conspiracy required whatsoever.

However, if one were hellbent on assuming such a conspiracy does exist and some group of people were knowingly misinforming the rest of humanity (and had for literally thousands of years!) - then there are a great many potential benefits to doing so. Use your imagination! Here's one to get you started : What if there were more land not on our map/globe?

Provide a map, size and measurements of the flat Earth.

You won't do it.

Tell us nobody ever explained to you why Latitude and Longitude are the only way to predict surface point-locations on Earth,

This isn't about prediction, it's about measurement. A flat map works better than a globe shaped one - which is why our maps are flat.

Assuming the world is flat, the latitude lines are circles and the longitude lines are axial lines from the north pole. The arbitrary coordinate system we use has absolutely no bearing on the shape of the world. This is an encouraged erroneous conflation.

And prediction can only be done with proper measurement, illiterate.

Flat maps DON'T work better, that's why the SPHERICAL COORDINATES are MARKED on ALL FLAT MAPS.

And the MAPS are ALTERED so they more CLOSELY reflect reality of the planet being a sphere.

YOU who don't even know why Longitude and Latitude EXISTS, and are the SOLE COORDINATES USED on even FLAT MAPS,

vs EVERY MAP MAKER who EVER EXISTED:

Everyone coming by take otice how jack thinks FLAT MAPS apply to Earth better?

MAP PROJECTION: THE SCIENCE OF TRYING to MAKE FLAT MAPS fit EARTH as WELL as GLOBES DO.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_projection

That's catastrophic failure of your lack of knowledge,

even of the reason for existence of,

the MEASUREMENTS TAKING PLACE on MAPS,

being in LONGITUDE and LATITUDE.

Using only:

S P E R I C A L geometry

surface area formulas.

There is no reference, of any kind, EVER:

to anything flat, in deriving them.

Ever.

All measurements are taking SOLELY from a SPHERE:

of a PRECISE and unchanging size.

COMPARED M.E.A.S.U.R.E.M.E.N.T.S.

match the SURFACE AREA

FORMULAS,

in the Geometry,

no one ever told you about.

https://www.nosco.ch/mathematics/en/earth-coordinates.php

All systems measuring Earth surface are SPHERICAL coordinates systems.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_coordinate_system

[For broader coverage of this topic, see Spatial reference system.]

A geographic coordinate system (or GCS) is a SPHERICAL, or geodetic coordinate system,

for measuring and communicating positions directly on the Earth,

as latitude and longitude.

It is the simplest, oldest and most widely used of the various spatial reference systems that are in use, and forms the basis for most others.

The geographic coordinate system is not cartesian, because the measurements are angles related to a sphere; and are not on a planar surface."

Wrong answer hillbilly.

The coordinates system for CORRECT SURFACE AREA and surface point LOCATION prediction is NOT arbitrary.

You're just an illiterate, innumerate hick who nobody ever taught how Longitude and Latitude operate to successfully predict on the surface of the planet.

How come serious attempts at discussion get ignored and/or get empty responses actively withholding information?

How come serious attempts at discussion get ignored

Do you have an example? Personally, i try not to ignore anything, though life certainly gets in the way and sometimes it takes me a while to respond.

and/or get empty responses actively withholding information?

Personally, i try to answer questions as thoroughly as i can. However, the one exception is when doing so will make the student weaker at doing their own research and thinking for themselves.

Im very happy to help any earnest students in their research, but i should not, and will not do it for them.
