Yep. The hilarious thing with conspiracy theorists is they're right that the government is screwing them but it's not a conspiracy. All the legal bribery, price gouging, lobbying, deregulation, distraction with culture war, refusal to consider actual problems etc. is done openly. It's bizarre they know they're being screwed over but not how when it's all in public record.

​@@MrGared22 To be fair in the late 1960s it would have been very expensive to shoot all of this footage with a lot off slow-motion and cables, and possibly look very silly. So minimizing exterior shots and avoiding calling attention on it made sense. Better put that budget for more important low-g scenes later in the film when they are flying to jupiter! Like kubrick and his team knew that a lot of scifi films end up looking very silly so he was careful with his special effects. It's why the film avoids compositing when it can for instance, as at the time it created lots of artifacts and the re-exposed footage would look very grainy. It's very visible in films like star wars (especially in fan restorations of the original cuts).

Fun fact: Greek scholar Eratosthenes chanced uppon the neat fact that once a year in Syene (an Egyptian town), the sunlight would reach the bottom of wells there. This is interesting, because that NEVER happens in Alexandria. Using this info, he measured how far Alexandria is off the full zenith in Syene (an angle of 7°), and so calculated the curvature of the earth, and subsequently made a calculation of the full circumference of the earth, which was only 5% larger than the modern accepted value. He did this in the 240s BCE.

At some point it is simple not possible for an individual person to acknowledge wrongdoing. Because this would come with a bunch of guilt, what this person had done to other human beings. Also you would have to admit how stupid you have been. So this "awakening" only works if a big group is forced to open the eyes at once, like it did in Germany mid 40s to early 50s. If all around you also have to acknowledge they have been wrong, this is doable without the loss of face and the guilt is spread on more shoulders. All the best for you and your mum!

That she probably ruined many more relationships, and that the relationships she DOES have are all built on a lie. She'd have to admit to you and herself that she was horrible to you for NOTHING. Doing something like that is so painful that most people would rather not do it at all. Admitting that you're wrong requires a lot of strength, strength most people don't have. This is the worst part about conspiracy theories, pseudoscience, cults, and other professional liars. It's that the people who get invested in them ruin their lives socially and financially with nothing to show for it.

Technically for this to reflect reality, the earth would have to be ACCELERATING upwards, mimicking acceleration due to gravity of objects in freefall near the surface of the earth. A subtle difference, but I personally find it really interesting specifically because it conflicts with Einstein's laws of relativity. (I think? I feel like there was something where, once you approach the speed of light, you still continue to feel like you're accelerating at the same rate, but you're actually accelerating really slowly and relativistic effects are compensating for the rest... but even then, that would still result in a world where all light that isn't shot straight up just slams into the ground from the absurd speeds)

Most don’t even try the upwards accelerating disc anymore. Now they say it’s either electromagnetism somehow or “Relative Density Disequilibrium” which is one of their new favorite ideas because they can’t understand why density and buoyancy require gravity. Flat earth is so great.

There are globeheads who kinda believe that too -- expansion theory says that gravity doesn't exist, it's just that everything in the universe is always getting bigger, so when you drop an apple, the earth is expanding out toward the apple and the apple is expanding toward the earth so they end up meeting

I was tought in Sunday school that that one Bible verse that says gods love for us spans "as far as the east is from the west" was an argument for the global earth, because you can go east forever and you can go west forever, without it ever changing (like gods love or whatever). But you can only go north so far before you're going south, and vice versa. My catholic-adjacent church argued for science in this case. Just an interesting bit to share.

Are HP Sauce and Brown Sauce roughly the same thing? They taste very similar to me, and I got similar but different specific responses when I asked what they were. Before I tried either, I asked about them. If I encountered Brown Sauce on a table in a pub, I asked “What’s Brown Sauce?” And the only reply I got was “It’s Brown Sauce,” as if to say “I don’t know what’s in it, but it’s its own thing, different from any Sauce you’re familiar with in the states.” If I encountered HP Sauce, I asked “What’s HP Sauce?” And the reply was always “It’s HP Sauce,” but the meta message was the same, I think. After having tried both of them, I know that my reply to anyone asking what either of them are would be the same for both, AND it would be more helpful to a US citizen. I would say, “it’s like ketchup in the US, but it’s sweeter and tangier because there are apples in it, and there’s more vinegar.”

If your entire ideology revolves around the conservation of tradition and a certain state of the world, then people going out and trying new things and maybe liking them better is going to put a wrench in your machine.

I'd also like to see that Mayan part, if not but for the giggles at some old-timey pointing and laughing. Also, to add to the pile; every single sea-faring person knew the earth was round. It's why ships tend to have this tall thing in the middle; it's used for seeing really freakin' far. Why would we need this if not to 'keep things from vanishing behind the horizon line'.

If you actually ask a member of flat gang that question, it suddenly becomes a whole lot less funny. Because nine times outta ten, the answer to "who's doing the lying" is "the Jews" Flat earth is not an idea that can exist on its own. To be down with flat gang, you have to believe in many other irrational ideas as well, including the ones that say there is a group of people who are secretly controlling the world. And we all know what the most common conspiracy of that type is.

That’s always the wild thing to me. At the end of the day conspiracy theorists don’t really care about “why” whoever they’re upset with would do anything. They’ll make up reasons all day, but they don’t care how ridiculous what they’re saying is. It’s backwards logic, goin “this person says something I don’t like -> it can’t be true because I don’t like it -> it can’t be true and I don’t like it so they MUST be bad -> they’re bad so they’re doing bad things -> they’re doing this to continue doing bad things -> the bad things are whatever I’m told they’re doing”. It’s a wild train of logic that’s so contrived and is entirely based on what the theorist already believed beforehand, absolute travesty lol

The only argument I've heard from flat earthers about who is benefiting is that it's a ploy for NASA to steal their tax dollars on fake space programs because, of course, space isn't real. Completely ignoring the fact that according to their worldview every world government would have to be in on this, the majority of which do not have space programs.

I saw the documentary Behind The Curve. Patricia seemed like a really nice person. But at the end of the documentary is when she started receiving hate mail with conspiracies about her. She's driving with the documentary crew and she says "I can't believe there are so many people on the internet who are so ready and willing to believe any crazy conspiracy... I'm not one of those people.... Am I?" And it's just silence with her staring into the camera. It was so f**king surreal! I felt like I was being sucked in to the void!

ultimate logic.

My partner's just pointed out, about the flight thing, that a flat earth map would actually make some flights shorter. The example she drew on was London to Beijing, which allegedly takes about the same time as the Perth to Chile flight; on a flat earth map, those cities would be WAY closer together, and thus the flights should - in theory - be a lot shorter if the earth was flat. Are flat earthers suggesting that airlines are consciously making some flights a lot SLOWER, wasting time, money and resources (as well as potentially going against the physics of flight, in which you need to maintain a set speed in order to create lift), JUST to preserve the illusion of a globe earth?

@warmachineuk

Yes, some flat Earthers believe airlines slow down flights to maintain the globe Earth illusion. Flat Earthers are conspiracy theorists.

I feel like the biggest and most concise counterargument i've ever seen against flat earth is "If the earth is flat, then why the fuck haven't millionares and billionares monitized the shit out of it? Edge of the earth theme parks! A swing that goes over the edge!" and it's still the most convincing argument i've heard.

This dude is so understanding towards other viewpoints. Yeah, he'll make fun of them, but he understands that people believe this shit for a reason.

i was so looking forward to the crossover scene, and was genuinely surprised that it was Abbigale and not you covering themself in a condiment. maybe it's been a while since i've seen her old work, but that really feels more like an hbomb bit than a philosphy tube bit.

an old friend of mine that i hadnt seen in a long time became a flat earther after an out-of-body experience at coachella. i talked to her about it for around an hour once. it was a frustrating conversation (she used rick and morty metaphors to explain her worldview no less than 3 times) but it was very illuminating, although not in the way she intended. when i asked her what nasa would possibly stand to gain from convincing everyone that the earth was round, she told me "they want us to think that we're nothing. they want us to think that our lives are meaningless because we're just tiny insignificant creatures floating on a tiny insignificant rock in the middle of an infinite universe so that we don't realize we deserve better and try to rise up against their conspiracies." that was the first time i really saw what draws some decent people to flat earth and other similar conspiracies. it's just existential dread. they can't stand the idea that they might not be important to the universe when it comes down to it and these conspiracies give them a reason to believe they're part of some big mission that will ultimately give them importance. it's quite sad, really. after that, i talked to her for a while about how for me, the idea of living in an infinite universe gives life so much more meaning than the idea of earth being the center of existence, and how the idea of amazing things in the far reaches of space and the unexplored minutiae of earth make me want to keep living because there's so much to learn and so many wonders to discover. at the end of the conversation, she said she needed to think about the things i'd said and reevaluate some stuff. i know this is a very r/thathappened comment, but you'll just have to take my word for it. it's a true story. i know it doesn't sound like one because i could hardly believe i had had that conversation myself, and i don't mean to make myself out to be some kind of wise sage leading the blind. i'm just really devoted to empathy and seeing why people believe the strange things they believe, which makes people with fringe worldviews more open to talking to me, even though i disagree with them. i find it's easier to make change that way. idk what exactly im hoping to accomplish by commenting this, i just kind of wanted to tell this story. so if you read the whole thing, thanks for listening, have a good one.
