It's kind of like the Pope - he'll lecture Christians on the value of welcoming muslim refugees and being super charitable to muslims, but he won't dare tell the muslims what to do, for muslims to leave Christians alone, or encourage Christians to look out for each other and watch each other's back first and foremost.
He's a bad person to know, the Pope. Not someone you would have a coffee with, and not the sort of person you want on your side in a fight. You're better off not knowing him.
the pope should be replaced with some russian that carries ak47 in one hand and bibble in the other,
and preaches crusade.

Everybody lies. The world is forged and maintained by deceivers. Do you really think the fable of truth needs its beginning in an Austin pizza parlor? Swallow your pride and lick your manager's boots.

Common mythological beliefs across cultures are only evidence of certain psychological patterns that have developed as a product of evolution.
the anecdotal evidences of dragons are decorated all over temples of both middle/east asia and central/south america.
humans and dragons had coexisted for millions of years and its just a matter of time before archeologists dig them up and loled at how wrong they were before this.

Internal consistency does not beget external existency. A standard high school education provides sufficient reason to believe that the model presented is

I would argue that education does not always teach people to think critically about what they're taught.

The conclusion that the Earth is round is constructed logically and empirically.
Empirically is another funny choice of words. What is empiricism, if not valuing what is materially sensed? Empirical evidence is only empirical to those who observe it. This is why empirical evidence must be able to be obtained repeatedly/repeatably for it to be considered valid in the scientific sense. And taking it on blind faith that you can repeat the experiment and obtain empirical support for your position, but never actually doing so, is not exactly laudable. Essentially, you have no empirical evidence that the evidence you believe to be empirically and scientifically valid actually is empirical itself, until you yourself observe it. Empirical evidence is an anecdote unless gathered yourself.
OwO

Ok my ex-roommate, who happened to be an escort and frequent meth-user, and is currently in prison for gun-related charges, used to always "cite evidence" for her beliefs in a so-called "flat-earth."
It was always some stupid YouTube video or some reference to how a pilot's visual perspective when taking off somehow proves her case.
Like, when was the last time she flew a fucking plane?
I hate to resort to ad hominem arguments, but flat-earthers overwhelmingly tend to lie somewhere south of the bell curve of what constitutes a "normal person", let alone even remotely educated.
I always gave her the benefit of the doubt and assumed she was IRL trolling me, but her facial expressions and body language revealed her actual beliefs.
I'm not saying every Flat Earther goes out there and tries to experimentally justify their position, I'm just saying I see it happening a lot more with them than I do with the globies. Taking pictures with a Nikon COOLPIX P900 is practically a meme in the FB groups I'm in, because it's got a crazy zoom and flerfers think they can zoom over the horizon and un-disappear ships and the like. Like I said,
deeply flawed experimentation, but I respect that a lot more than some smug asshole who thinks he's right because "science is on his side". Even if they do tend to draw the wrong conclusions. Y'know? I rarely, if ever, see a globe gobbler do more than reference an experiment performed by someone else. The shape of the Earth is a foregone conclusion to them, not worth proving.
And yeah, there are a lot of flerfers who use youtube videos, but there are also a lot of globeheads who use youtube videos to try and explain how/show that the Earth is a globe. Youtube is full of valuable educational material. The fact that the information is on youtube surely doesn't make it false, neh?
*shrug*
Flerfers hearts tend to be in the right place, I think.

I'm gonna kinda rant here, because yeah: I mostly pretend to be a Flat Earther in Flat Earth "debate" groups on Facebook, where the globe side of the "debate" is full of the most insufferable people imaginable. It's kinda the same vibe I get from fedora atheists - people who are too stupid to win any kind of consequential argument, who pick on the lowest hanging possible fruit because it's the only way they can "win" and feel smarter than someone else. People who feel the need to beat others over the head with science they've never experimentally verified themselves are the dumbest smart people, so I play the smartest dumb person to remind them that they really aren't that bright. At least Flat Earthers go out and try to gather evidence via experimentation (albeit deeply flawed experimentation)... in my opinion that still puts them miles ahead of a globehead who thinks they know what is True because they read it in a book. Only one of those types of people is actually interested in discovering the Truth for themselves, which is as noble a goal as they come.
The whole vaguely religious culture of belief surrounding the sciences in general is deeply offputting to me. I weep for the Starbucks baristas with liberal arts degrees who worship at the church of Popular Science, and follow the teachings of the prophets Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye the Science Guy. And god help you if you try to point out the shaky-as-fuck foundations of their worldview... how little they truly know, and how much of what they think they know is based on faith (just using that word'll set them off). Rather than grapple with the epistemological nightmare that is our existence, they seek comfort in their delusions of Truth. I can't fault them for that - it is, after all, almost a default of the human condition - but when they start acting like they're better than people whose delusions of Truth differ from their own... it kinda makes me sick.
Science is useful, and neat, but you don't understand everything well enough to tell whether or not everything is true. Even highly specialized scientists with PhDs are really taking it on faith when they accept findings from fields outside their narrow scope of expertise. Science is not a perfect system, except in the sense that it's a system for discovering what is likely to be true, and which acknowledges that it is not a perfect system. If we forget the word "likely" and that last part, it becomes hardly distinguishable from religion. Maybe that's simply the same age-old flaw in human thinking. When something we believe is true gets proven wrong, people say that means science is working. But when you point out that this also means that what we believe now could very well be just as wrong, people - feeling as though their beliefs are being attacked - start screaming about proof, instead of just... acknowledging the reality of how little they know. It's almost like the inverse of the "god of the gaps" fallacy, where we believe there are no gaps in our collective knowledge... until they're discovered, at which point we applaud ourselves and go back to feeling as if there are, once again, no gaps.
Whatever the case, it rubs me the wrong way. Pointless rant over.
tl;dr - everyone is stupid, nobody is willing to admit how little they know, and science is great when treated with the right philosophical care but is elsewise as intellectually bankrupt as religiosity

lol globeheads are retarded, i used to think you ball lovers were trolling too but it turns out you're actually stupid
water doesn't curve around a spinning ball, dumb butt. if you believe the sun is 93 million miles away you're also stupid and can't be helped. like seriously... moran.

if it can happen on a spot on the surface of a round sphere then it can happen on a spot of a flat piece of something.
a sphere is made up of millions upon millions of little flat surfaces. look at the tile beneath your feet, observe it, measure it.
it is perfectly flat. and if its installed right, balls do not roll on it.

I wrote a poem about a van years ago.
Cant remember it all but some of the content was
A mattress in the back
lies next to a jack
but I haven't any wheels
so here I sit
watching the world go by
just you and I, my transit van.
Maybe one day soon
I'll get me some wheels
and catch up with that world going by
but until that day, I'll stay...
with you, my transit van.
