now that is closed minded, completely shutting down the counter argument can lead you down a rabbit hole of misinformation

2019-05-22 18:38:39 UTC  

Have you ever met anyone in your life where they argued against heliocentrism from preschool onward? Yeah, me neither.

2019-05-22 18:39:02 UTC  

if you just silence those that dispute you, you are the same as the way you view NASA keeping the public out of the loop

2019-05-22 18:39:12 UTC  

So your premise is based on something you’ve never even seen from someone in your life.

2019-05-22 18:39:22 UTC  

So convincing.

Anyone still holding onto the globe is biased. Why the globe believers and not the flat earthers? Some flat earthers may be biased, sure. But we changed our views. You hold onto yours. We looked at evidence and changed our minds.
That's literally **NOT** being biased. Being biased would have stopped us from changing our minds.
You should probably learn what bias is before claiming it of others before looking in a mirror.

2019-05-22 18:40:30 UTC  

well i agree with you on that, i am here to try and see your guys view on this and you aren't really showing you are mature by muting people and dismissing me

2019-05-22 18:40:54 UTC  

Again, when a person denies verifiable proof, in favor of defending their belief, based on nothing but belief. It’s not silencing them when we show them the door. They can speak their bullshit outside the building as much as they want. But not around people capable of having coherent and constructive discussion.

2019-05-22 18:42:09 UTC  

fair enough, but from our point of view it is *you* that is deluded, and i dont mean to be insulting condescending but we wanted to discuss

2019-05-22 18:42:39 UTC  

From an unbiased view, it’s obvious who is deluded.

2019-05-22 18:42:55 UTC  

This is the earth and this is how it is so.

2019-05-22 18:43:11 UTC  

Everything is Torus

2019-05-22 18:43:20 UTC  

All is Atum

2019-05-22 18:44:09 UTC  

see thats the thing, im not here to dispute what you claim, just to see the sort of psychology behind it if you will. part of a social anthropology assignment

2019-05-22 18:45:08 UTC  

its incredibly interesting to me that you guys completely distrust established organisations like nasa and governments, just want an insight

2019-05-22 18:45:25 UTC  

So, you're not here to learn about the flat earth, just how people think the earth is flat? @r/scottishpeopletwitter

Who said we don’t believe NASA?

2019-05-22 18:46:01 UTC  

We simply don’t believe them when we Know they’re lying.

2019-05-22 18:46:52 UTC  

sorry, you cherry pick information which suits your claim but discredit other things (the blue marble springs to mind) therefor you can't really claim to be unbiassed can you?

2019-05-22 18:47:14 UTC  

That sounds like an argument from incredulity

2019-05-22 18:47:39 UTC  

Cherry picking?

2019-05-22 18:48:05 UTC  

not an argument from incredulity, just wondering why certain information is distrusted while ^^ info is.

2019-05-22 18:48:20 UTC  

Why don’t you cherry pick your globe earth equations where we can observe, measure, and experiment with it ourselves?

2019-05-22 18:48:27 UTC  

Oh right. Because you don’t have any.

2019-05-22 18:48:56 UTC  

@r/scottishpeopletwitter Are you here to learn about the flat earth? Yes or no?
Or are you here only in attempt to learn how people think the earth is flat?

2019-05-22 18:50:10 UTC  

well in my physics class, equations are often simplified to exclude air resistance and things of the sort as they are negligible at such scales, much like how i imagine that that equation you posted is, to simplify it as factoring in the earths rotundity and rotation is not neccessary

yeah i agree in as much as gravity doesn't exist but current physics models including those presented by einstein suggest its effects are observed due to space-time curvature

Literally no one on earth can test the **"curving of space-time"**

2019-05-22 18:53:15 UTC  

no, but its effects can be observed. much the same as you don't witness a murder but can still use evidence to find the killer

2019-05-22 18:53:28 UTC  

Literally nobody can present any space time to experiment on

2019-05-22 18:54:06 UTC  

Where are these observations of space-time curving?

2019-05-22 18:54:16 UTC  

I can't see it curve

2019-05-22 18:54:22 UTC  

I call rubbish
