How come in age of particle accelerators, gravitational waves, fibre optic broadband, OLED displays, solar cells, virtual reality, holograms, electric cars, electron and atomic microscopes, sex robots and gene editing, there are still MILLIONS of people in this world who genuinely believe the Earth is FLAT?
I am truly flabbergasted Veeky Forums.... Do they not realise that the very computers and internet that they use to spread their flat earth beliefs were invented based on all the accumulated scientific theories and knowledge that they are unironically trying to disprove?
Josiah Martin
there's like 2 of them and the other millions are trolls
Jacob Perez
No I'm serious. Head down to any state in the deep south and if you ask people if the Earth is flat or round they'll say "they don't know"
Brayden Hill
Ever played an online-game? These are the same people.
The whole older = smarter is also nonsense. People don't get more intelligent, older just means more likely to compensate for lack of intelligence with trained behaviour through trail and error but there is no way to train people on such topics as they will never get punished for believing in one over the other in their lives.
Elijah Walker
they don't know because how the fuck should they know? They haven't been in space. They probably haven't ever been in a plane. Nor do they have the kind of education that supports the idea as an "obvious" conclusion. More likely, they don't give a fuck, because whether it is or not doesn't affect a damn thing about their daily life.
Christian Turner
if this was pre information age this point would actually have merit, but since its not and the sum of human experience is available to virtually everyone not having a basic grasp of the principles that enable our society makes you a willfully ignorant dipshit
Matthew Wright
Tbf id rather have them say "I dont know" rather than spouting a bunch of unsupported stuff that someone pulled out of their ass. Stuff like the earth is flat, religion and most of anything said by politicians.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, no. Atheists are the most retardedly autistic people around. They still can't tell that they are being baited by trolls.

Many people are unable or unwilling to grasp abstract relations and are only able to learn through rote memorization ("facts"). They value any sort of theory in terms of how practical it is in their daily lives. And guess what, to the average brainlet the shape of the planet is completely irrelevant
James Rogers
flat earth is an Illuminati psyop so you hear much more about it then you should because it is promoted hard by them to discredit truthers, it is not is prevalent as you think, same with communism
