If you were taught about Christopher Columbus and/or Ferdinand Magellan in school, then you were officially introduced to FLAT EARTH THEORY during the course of your "compulsory education"...
Theres nothing "fringe" or "extreme" about learning about CC or FM in school,
And these two particular aspects of FLAT EARTH THEORY are 500 years old, so they are nothing new, and have been around a lot longer than most other "conspiracy theories" like JFK or 9/11...
So, lets stop pretending that anyone who talks about FLAT EARTH is some kind of weirdo who is into "fringe" ideas... because FLAT EARTH is in-fact a standard part of every Americans so-called "education".
EVERY American grade school graduate knows that CC sailed in the year 1492.
But what is weird about FLAT EARTH, is how EMOTIONAL people get about it.
Like, i can bring up 1,000 other contentious issues, from Ford vs Chevy, or Chiefs vs Eagles, and most people will have a mild opinion, but they won't have a meltdown.
BUT there are certain topics, like VACCINES, where people get oddly EMOTIONAL,
And when people get oddly emotional about a certain topic, it always catches my attention, because i always know theres more going on under the surface, and i want to know what it is...
So for me, my interest moves away from the nuts and bolts of which truck is better, and toward the psychology of why this man is so oddly emotional about it.
And what i have discovered,
Is that people have 2 very distinct brains,
one brain that is highly logical,
and one brain that is highly ethical.
to illustrate what i mean, lets use the following example:
-
its highly LOGICAL to invest your money in a savings account, and get 5% INTEREST on your savings.
-
however, its highly UN-ETHICAL to engage in USURY.
therefore,
we ALWAYS talk about INTEREST,
and NEVER talk about USURY!
because if we talk about USURY, we are using the ETHICAL part of our brain,
and if we talk about INTEREST, we are using the LOGICAL part of our brain.
So, what needs to happen is, we need to START talking about USURY,
Every time INTEREST comes up!
Anyway, this DUALITY of the mind exists in many other dimensions,
And so the powers that be, who always dictate the pop culture from the top down,
frame every issue in a way that appeals to one way you think,
at the expense of other ways of thinking of an issue.
Fake shootings on TV.
We all know the drill.
Next comes "common sense gun controls"
Every time they need a distraction from Jan 6 revelations, they have a fake shooting,
With VACCINES, we all saw the CULT LIKE BEHAVIORS
There emerged TWO very distinct groups of people,
Those who GOT vaccinated,
and Those who DID NOT get vaccinated,
And it was a very EMOTIONAL situation,
and it cost of a lot of friendships,
and caused many family problems.
How many people do you know who lost a friend over vaccine debate?
And Then Theres The MOON LANDING HOAX duality,
There are people who believe that white men have walked on the moon,
And there are people who believe that this story is a hoax.
But why do people get so EMOTIONAL?
And the moon landing hoax is usually lumped in with flat earth,
And both issues get people very emotional, to the point of losing friends,
