its complicated

2020-01-22 02:16:35 UTC  

I'm trying to explain to my friend that he shouldn't blindly trust in globeheads. However, he keeps asking me to show him evidence, but doesn't accept anything I show him. What are some more "legitimate" things I could show him?

2020-01-22 02:16:39 UTC  

he wants my attention

2020-01-22 02:17:23 UTC  

beyond official sources such as NASA no idea, maybe disprove counter points

2020-01-22 02:18:01 UTC  

YouTube has plenty of independent researchers trying to spread the truth.

2020-01-22 02:18:26 UTC  

I personally don't trust NASA, but believe we are living on a globe.

2020-01-22 02:18:50 UTC  

Well like he's looking for something like NASA, with the same level of "officialness." Is there any sort of alternative that I could show to someone really set in their belief?

2020-01-22 02:18:57 UTC  

Or is it just a lost cause?

2020-01-22 02:19:12 UTC  

Lost cause unless you can convince them without NASA

2020-01-22 02:19:17 UTC  

Like

2020-01-22 02:19:24 UTC  

Well The Onion is a reputable news source that has reported on it before

2020-01-22 02:19:37 UTC  

The onion?

2020-01-22 02:19:41 UTC  

wait what

2020-01-22 02:19:44 UTC  

Isn't that a satircal news company

2020-01-22 02:19:48 UTC  

Not at all

2020-01-22 02:20:00 UTC  

Though they have slowed down

2020-01-22 02:20:15 UTC  

i thought they were going bankrupt

2020-01-22 02:20:54 UTC  

Are there any specific articles you would recommend showing him?

2020-01-22 02:22:30 UTC  

I'm sure if the mainstream considers a source reputable he'll at least consider it.

2020-01-22 02:22:31 UTC  

two good examples

2020-01-22 02:23:24 UTC  

Ok, I'll show them to him.
I'm looking for relevant onion articles but haven't found any yet.

2020-01-22 02:23:53 UTC  

Well I could've sworn that they had one but maybe I'm just misremembering

2020-01-22 02:24:20 UTC  

Even then why does it matter if someone believes in the globe or not?

2020-01-22 02:24:46 UTC  

Belief can fuel motivations do advance our scientific knowledge

2020-01-22 02:25:32 UTC  

If we are stuck in the Modern Dark Age where we are lied to by NASA and the rest of the space agencies, then how will humanity continue to move forward

2020-01-22 02:25:57 UTC  

I mean I see humanity on an unstoppable downward spiral.

2020-01-22 02:26:21 UTC  

It will only get worse with the more people that believe the lies

2020-01-22 02:26:23 UTC  

explain GPS

2020-01-22 02:26:51 UTC  

boom boom there you go

2020-01-22 02:26:59 UTC  

I'm kind of a optimistic nihilist, I guess just by convincing people I hope I can help the greater world improve.

2020-01-22 02:27:29 UTC  

It won't solve the human condition though. :/

2020-01-22 02:27:37 UTC  

what about in the ocean

2020-01-22 02:27:43 UTC  

Bouys

2020-01-22 02:27:52 UTC  

buoys*

2020-01-22 02:27:56 UTC  

? about them?

2020-01-22 02:28:01 UTC  

What*

2020-01-22 02:28:13 UTC  

Back in November, I got gaslighted and
realized my friends didn't really respect my beliefs

2020-01-22 02:28:17 UTC  

They can be used to transmit signals like radio towers
