If there were something of any importance going on in Antarctica, it would be in the interest of the elite to make the peasants believe that the earth is flat and surrounded by an icy wall beyond which only extends the infinite void. Just sayin’.

The earth is mostly water. The water is not carbonated hence the earth is technically flat lol.

The “op” part comes in 2 halves.

Part 1: Have paid posters promote FE in online spaces where the media narrative gets scrutinized/refuted.
Part 2: Have network television bring attention to FE as an example of shocking online misinformation.

Reward: Consumers of mainstream media are conditioned to associate anything that undermines the media narrative with “obviously wrong” online conspiracy theories.

As for pictures of the globe being everywhere, you’d see that in either scenario. The globe is the natural symbol of promoters of one-world-government, and it would still be a useful symbol of world collectivism if the Earth is roughly spherical.

In a sense, it matters, and in another sense, it doesn’t really matter. But to some, like many unpopular opinions, if it absorbs your whole life and prevents you from listening, then it becomes problematic. But I really don’t think it’s a psyop, judging from the wealth of media programming on the converse side. For decades, you’d be hard pressed to go a day without hearing a mention of the globe or man going to the moon from the idiot box. For FE to be a psyop, there would need to be some “op” on their part.

My take on this question is that it is indeed a psyop. I know a couple flat earthers and it becomes the end all conspiracy for them. It is the sort of thing that can take questioning minds and get them on the conspiracy track where everything is a conspiracy. Even if you tell them the truth about something, if it isn’t some elaborate scheme “it’s obviously a psyop you have fallen for.” As was mentioned previously, i dont see how this topic is useful for our current struggle, even if interesting/ fun to discuss.
Also not saying that all flat earthers are like this, but in my experience a great majority are.

I haven’t heard anyone propose that the earth stretches to infinity in 3 dimensions before.
That actually is a good work-around for Cavendish’s experiment if it were infinite in 2 dimensions and finite thickness, you’d have 1G, and a plumb bob would always point down no matter where you traveled. Unfortunately, infinite thickness would produce much more than 1G.

Not sure how there’s such a thing as a “north pole” on an infinite block.

The surface speed may be 1044 mph, but that’s only 0.0042 degrees per second. That’s going to fling you away with .034 m/s^2, while gravity fights it with 9.81m/2^2

[Alumnus]

Glober here. One would have to work quite hard to convince me out of it. I wouldn’t get together with a Flatter unless I am convinced to convert first.

[Fabes]

Cavendish’s experiment doesn’t disprove the Flat Earth. I don’t know any flat earthers who think the earth is a flat disk with limits hurtling through space. The theory is that the earth is firm, immovable, and stretches out in every direction (except up) with no limits. The sun is not 93 million miles away, but circles above the flat earth around the north pole, heating the known world. Beyond that is ice.

My wife would need to at least be open to that possibility, because my children will be homeschooled and will learn that as the more probable structure of the universe, above that of a ball spinning 1000 mph.

I wouldn’t reject a flat-earther for marriage, but I’m with Hunter on this topic, I think flat earth is a psyop.

Flat earth is useful to the powerful:

The New World Order conspiracy, and the Jewish “kingdom to come” conspiracy behind it, can’t survive by obscurity with the internet. They need to condition people to not listen when they’re warned about these conspiracies. Hence, Comedy Central and the MSNBC lineup (both organizations thoroughly CIA infiltrated), will parade around flat earth as a spectacle, mock it, and teach their audience to associate it with any other conspiracies. Every time I’ve seen flat earth evoked in an argument, it’s always by someone in the left-wing narrative, lazily discrediting something that undermines that narrative.

Flat earth gets true believers:

What’s more, flat earth scratches a similar psychological itch as legitimate conspiracy research, so they can neutralize some paranoid types who might otherwise learn and spread damaging information. The presence of true believers helps mask the artificial origin, and it keeps the campaign going even if funding is diverted, which may be part of why we’re still talking about it in current year.

Arguments against flat earth by gravity:

Cavendish’s 1798 experiment proves that mass attracts mass. Gravity would pull a disk into a ball shape over time. We can see all the other planets in this solar system are roughly spherical. The disk can’t simulate gravity by accelerating at 1G because it would reach the speed of light in 354 days. The fact that things approach infinite mass as you approach the speed of light means you could accelerate forever, but you can’t accelerate at 1G forever.

In a relationship, I’d just see it as a goofy eccentricity.

I don’t think it’s a psyop.its not in the in tue interest of the government to have flat earthers.

[Hunter]

Flat earth is an approved PSYOP to discredit more legitimate ‘conspiracy theories’ that have frequently become fact recently.

I have a high IQ I like girls who can be silly and weird and entertaining. Sometimes silly mental exercises are fun. I don’t think it’s a waste of time.

[A_Spartan_Speaks]

Sometimes it’s useful to ponder such things and I am attracted to women are intellectually curious.

[Anonymous]

Fundamentally I’m not concerned about the shape of the planet, as I cannot see how this would have any meaningful impact on either myself or my people.

I honestly think any thought on such matters is a wasted effort, which would be better invested in improving one’s character and other such matters which have a genuine, positive effect on yourself and/or your kindred.

Regarding your question whether I would marry someone with opposing views on this matter (or any matter really), my response would be that in philosophy we know that what is important is not the conclusion, but the method – which essentially means that if we all do a rational analysis of the situation, we will all arrive at the same conclusion.

And so if the woman and I have arrived at different conclusions, then either one of us, or both of us are using some kind of non-rational method to arrive at our conclusions, and once this is corrected, we will end up agreeing in the end – hence why in case of disagreements, I use a method of gentle questioning similar to the Socratic method, to achieve just that sort of correction.

In summary, as long as both the woman and I have an open mind, we will get along even in our differences – as those differences won’t last very long.

Hollow earth theory is interesting. Maybe we should say globe skeptics vs globe believers.

[A_Spartan_Speaks]

Actually, I’m more a proponent of the hollow earth theory.

[Anonymous]

Fun topic. How many people are flat earthers here or are globe skeptics. If you believe in a globe earth would you marry a flat earther, or if you were a flat earther would you marry a globe earther. Let’s keep the topic light.
