I checked it out
What's your interest in tracking planes?
Yeah, there is a lot of hype about it in the prepper community.
I personally am interested in radar.
The website has a Discord server, I talked to a mod and it was a fun conversation.
Cool
There are quite a few pilots in the lobby there.
?
Sorry what lobby?
On the ads-b exchange discord.
I see
maybe this is more interesting to you?
lol
It's interesting I'm just not an "out there" kind of person
The internal world is more captivating to me
Plus everyone knows the earth is flat.
It does not make a difference to me what shape the map of the earth is in. lol
I do find it sad that most people believe it is round because they were told so. Even if it is round, they should be a little skeptical.
I was just joking
The point is that most people only know what they have been told. Flat or round makes little difference in most peoples personal lives. It is only fun fact type of trivia.
Do people believe it because they're told it or do they believe it based on the evidence they're given?
Noone has ever been able to show me any evidence of it or a well thought out proof.
In my education I learned about the earth in context to the universe and the cell, all kinds of things I couldn't independently verify, but the reasoning was sound
Circumstantial evidence is still evidence
It's all we have, not being omniscient
We have more than that.
Data is a collection of anecdotes
I am a math guy and a software guy.
Is math not involved in our understanding of the earth?
Math is a language.
Is that not available to someone who wants to explore the basic reasoning further?
It is used for description but it can also lie.
Most people only know basic algebra.
I just don't agree with the supposition that people believe because they're told. In santa, yes, in sciences, not as much. There are exceptions like vaccines and viruses, but our understanding of the earth has a long history of evidence being honed and the bulk of it is readily available
Are you one of those antivaxxers?
I'm consistent in my belief that human beings have been given the ability to cope with environmental stressors.
haha I agree with you.
Around me and in academic circles you would be called antivaxxer for even questioning these things.
I think a mass exodus to the seas and a rebirth of the age of piracy is one of the most viable way to keep men free low key
