SwampRanger is more interested in Sci Fi from that perspective it seems.
Almost. I think I was being a bit sarcastic too. Unironically, Interstellar is so bad that it works better if you totally change the genre and pretend it's e.g. a Bollywood attempt at Hindu evangelism, with occasional input from Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar to make it sound more honest.
Less unironically, I've noted most time travel movies aren't about time travel at all but about multiverse bifurcation. The plot is trying to make a point that doesn't care if the time travel makes sense (e.g. Looper). Star Trek: TNG would routinely have a separate team of plot writers and tech consultants, and when the plot writers wanted something to force the characters to act a certain way they'd just leave a slug in the script for the tech team to fill in as they saw fit, and then the techs would invent something mostly consistent for Geordi to say that was both transparent-sounding and opaque at the same time. (I think the franchise jumped the shark about when Kirk and McCoy climbed onto Spock who had the only pair of gravity boots and they turned them into upward jets and then shot past a whole series of numbered decks that the Enterprise never really had before, including two that had the same number because the same shot made it into the final cut twice.)
So, with total irony, bite my tongue because planted firmly in my cheek, the link was when my office was first authorized to disclose how time travel really works, and was received quietly as the Rangers intended. (checks watch) The second disclosure hasn't gone out yet.
What does that even mean?
Exactly. That's also the slogan of c/FlatEarth because "even" is a pun.
Your "disclosure of time travel" looks interesting but I can't read all that tonight. I'll have to come back to it. I don't want you to dox yourself, but what exactly is your "office" if it cleared you to disclose how time travel works?
I am having a hard time figuring you out. Are you a flat earth person, or did you run that board as an experiment?
The office is SwampRangers.com. I tell people here I volunteer for Scott Lively. I larp as the guy with the eyepatch.
Yeah, some of my boards are experimental; in this case I want to hear from flat earthers same as you. For that purpose, my alt is a flat earther, he has it all worked out except for that last equation ....
It seems you are coming at this more from a Christian worldview, and I have to say that after reading your "disclosure" it is apparent that you actually have a pretty good understanding of the geometry of spacetime and other aspects of time travel that most normal people don't really think about.
I understand your interest in FE. I also started reading / watching flat earth material with no expectation of ever being convinced, but just out of curiosity as to what the arguments were. After going through it and having some fun, I then became more interested in the phenomenon itself. In my view, there is zero doubt that FE was a centrally executed psyop. I can't answer whether it was the CIA, some other US agency, the UN, the jews, or whatever. But it was. However, I do have to admit that there are definitely real believers too. Even if it was a psyop, it is now part organic. Not everyone is a shill.
IMO, flat earthers can be divided into believers and non believers. The non believers definitely include some grifters, but I believe it also includes intentional disinfo agents likely from the intel agencies. The believers include a variety of people. Some are general conspiratorial people who doubt everything from government, some are biblical literalists. They seem to have different reasons.
A few years ago I would read the FlatEarthResearch board here. I initially thought that Jack223344whatever was a believer, but over time I saw him also indicate that he started that one to study the FE psyop. It sounds like you did the FlatEarth one for similar reasons? I am also wondering if, since Christian theology is important to you, you were maybe talking some of those evangelical FEers off the cliff of "you must believe this or you are not a Christian" (I believe this to be a jewish psyop myself).
Personally, because I am such a math and science fan, and not the "believe science" dumbass kind on the left, I have no problem with FE. I encourage people to question what they are told from authority figures and investigate for themselves. However, if they actually did that, those people (FEers) would have to learn real math and physics and would eventually reject the pancake and all other models for the oblate spheroid. If the FE people were serious, I would love to talk them through their doubts and confusion, because it is true that most pop science explanations are bullshit.
However, they are not serious, as can be seen from your old board. They respond to pretty much anything with calling the person a brainwashed idiot for believing a magical sticky force holds them to a sphere spinning at 1000 miles per hour. There is never any attempt to rationally investigate what that means.
