I Believe That The Earth May Actually Be Flat

Yo this is why nobody takes flat earthers seriously. Video has half a million views on youtube and chick straight up just says "...and the scientists [NASA does] hire are all pseudoscientists. So all those equations and all those mathematical formulas and everything they are making that up. Right out of their arse."

Oh...out of their arse? You mean the same place you sourced that information from? Like what is this? How do you just say some shit and not even throw out some bullshit non-evidence. Straight up just didn't back that up at all. And people are falling for this crap. I don't think this kind of ignorance is dangerous but it sure it depressing.

There are a growing number of people who actually believe this. It's part of a wider conspiracy theory folklore and IMHO is becoming a real problem.

@MalteseFalconPunch I'm not sure what the exact number of people believe it but it appears to be growing. I speak to a number of people in RL who believe it and YouTube is full of videos on this and other similar implausible theories. They all connect to an attempt to overturn the established order by undermining scientific knowledge.

@MalteseFalconPunch We'll see how far it goes. I would like to see it challenged more often. The people putting these things out there have no credibility IMHO but yet seem to be influencing opinion.

@MalteseFalconPunch I hope that's correct. I know quite a few who believe it or want to believe it and they are reasonably intelligent people...in most respects 🤷‍♂️
