Your stupid flat earther butt..

I love this guy... no need for anything more

I'm not and never have been a Flat Earther, but I cant understand why the belief makes supposed rationalists so angry. After all it's just another conspiracy theory. I don't see people spitting blood and piss over JFK et al.

Unless you didn't notice, it was satire.

I chose one quip from his video, but it got at least one view

If anyone wants to believe in a flat earth, fine by me
Never understood the hate flat earthers receive, can even understand some of the reasoning though it’s not really justifiable in my opinion.

Some people’s response to the old FE faithful is quite bizarre

That was general remark not directed at your video. Sorry should have explained that

Proving the earth is round should be child's play. The anger of rounders to flatters makes it seem like round earth arguments are too weak to stand on their own and just another symptom of a bigger problem: Societies inability to entertain an idea, even if blatantly wrong, for the sake of debate. Flat earth, lefty/right, bigfoot, pronouns, the great pumpkin... Etc.

If you argue water is wet but your argument is weak, I feel it's a duty to argue water isn't wet until your argument is solid. Not just scream how right water wetness is because it's obviously true. That's how you make wet water deniers. 😂😂

I subscribed, it was great!

Oh yeah?! I have proof.

It’s flat enough for me.

This guy reminds me of JP Sears' little brother on ritalin, love it!

thanks Jericho

Ignorance is to be denied , not accepted.
This is not the Dark Ages .

Well, I can kind of understand it at least half way. On the other hand, what does it matter what idiots believe, there are SO many SO stupid people in this world, it boggles the mind, when you realize how hopeless the situation is. I guess part of the anger stems from people not wanting to accept that so many people are blithering idiots at best.

The other part of the anger probably comes from the fact that it's generally recognized just how mind-blowingly narrow-minded, dogmatic and against truth flat-earthers have always been throughout the history, and that no one in their right mind that has the intelligence capacity of a three year-old or higher, can seriously question the fact that planets are more or less round, for the most part (there are irregularly-shaped or more oval planets, but that doesn't even matter).

I mean, it wouldn't make sense that just Earth is flat, why would other planets be round - shouldn't every single planet in existence be flat, too? If another planet can be round, why can't Earth?

The biggest part, I think, is that it's SO EASY and quick to prove that Earth is round, not flat, and it's SO PRIMITIVE a belief to even have that the planet is flat, only because it's so big you can't always immediately see the curvature; it's such childish, toddler-like 'thinking'; what you see is what you get.

Yet, we see things that are not what they seem all the time. Is the sky REALLY blue? Are the stars REALLY at those points we see them at? I mean, we don't even see the stars in real time, there could be years, centuries of thousands of years between what we see and what actually is.

We can't see atoms, molecules or particles, and yet we know they must be there. We don't see viruses or bacteria, we don't hear ultrasound or infrasound, but we know it's there, and we can measure its effects.

So it's irritating and frustrating that for this ONE thing, suddenly what you see is 100% fact and true, and for all the other things, it's accepted that you don't exactly see reality as-is.

There are so many reasons why one might get angry or frustrated about someone being SO stupid that they can't do a simple experiment or think for five seconds to come to the realization that Earth couldn't be flat, or SO stubborn that they refuse to do it.

There are also obvious liars, who don't REALLY believe Earth is flat, but who have an agenda, so they lie that they believe it; you can see it in their eyes, body language and hear it in their voice when they talk about it.

There are plenty of reasons why to get angry at someone who just refuses to accept facts that are easy and simple to research AND even figure out by thinking for a few seconds. I don't understand why someone couldn't understand it.

It's like an adult mathematician that claims two plus two is five, and refuses to accept evidence to the contrary, or a writer that can't type 'couldn't care less' correctly, or choose correctly between 'there', 'their' and 'they're'.

An adult should be able to do all of these things, so when someone is stupid enough to not be able to do these incredibly simple tasks or realize obvious facts, it can be frustrating to others, who are supposed to treat these oatmeal-brains as equal adults.

If you argue water is wet but your argument is weak, I feel it's a duty to argue water isn't wet until your argument is solid.

Where does this duty come from? Someone arguing does NOT create any kind of obligation.

You don't have to correct someone that's wrong, there's no such duty.

Also, words and definitions can be argued about and altered - what 'wet' really means can be re-defined or at least examined. After all, 'wet' is more of a concept than 'water', which is more akin to a pointer towards something that exists in the physical world. 'Wet' is close to being an opinion.

A shirt can be wet, if it has been in water - but can water ITSELF be 'wet'? I mean, when you think about it, even if we agree about what 'wet' means, water itself can't be 'dry' or 'wet', it's more of a 'wetting substance' that can make OTHER things wet.

In any case, even if we take it as an undeniable fact that water is indeed 'wet', then 'argument' shouldn't be needed. How is repeating a fact 'arguing' anyway? If I say 'water is wet', is it the same as ARGUING?

Furthermore, why should a fact require an argument behind it? Are you saying water CEASES TO BE WET unless someone ARGUES SOLIDLY about it?

Why would any of this matter? Water is not going to care whether your argument is 'solid' or 'unsolid' (who decides this, anyway?). It's going to be whatever it is, regardless of our words, definitions or 'arguments', and continues being exactly that. Wet or not.

I never understood this. Why would ignoring something help anything? Also, aren't you accepting it if you are going to ignore it?

Also, wouldn't it be better to enlighten someone ignorant, so they wouldn't have to suffer from ignorance anymore?

Also also, WHY would you put a space before punctuation? What is this, a trend?

I see so many people butcher the english language in numerous, horrible ways, but this form I can't understand - who told you to do that? Why would anyone do that, ever?

This is not the Dark Ages .

Are you sure? Look at your punctuation style.

In any case, people in the 'dark ages', as you call it, didn't all believe the Earth was flat - people KNEW the Earth was round a LONG time ago, way before the so-called 'dark ages' (which I won't bother to capitalize, as it's mostly a myth that age could be 'dark').

Please learn your history and grammar, then we can possibly have a conversation.

I forgot to mention one more thing; although the anger at the stubborn stupidity is justifiable and understandable, what I don't understand, is why so many people waste time and energy trying to convince the clearly unconvincable.

If the flat-brained morons COULD be persuaded by logic, argument or experiments, they couldn't BE 'flat-Earthers' in the first place. So many people just waste time trying to convince them and providing 'arguments' and evidence and ridiculing them and whatnot.

It would be better to do something more constructive, so I see even this as some form of mind-blindness or stupidity; why waste your life trying to convince a dog that a sandwich isn't delicious?

That was funny. The guy did a really good job. Funny how he uses "flat earth butts" as an insulting term for unvaccinated people. Just a really comical video.

Thanks for sharing!

As for the flat earth debate your post sparked. I guess I've always questioned my reality enough to at least consider that there are alternatives to what I perceive as real.

Platos Cave reminds me that nothing is as it seems and that if you don't question you'll never see outside the cave you're living in. Therfore, I like the questions that flat earth debate make me ask and consider.

Thanks,

First , my post is 2 months old .
Second , your post makes no sense at all as I said nothing about ignoring ignorance.
Third , go back and read so that you don't make that kind of mistake twice.
Fourth , you took WAYYYY to much of your rebuttal criticizing my punctuation .
That usually means one has nothing .

Ok but they are not hurting anyone but their own credibility

You should watch the video in the opening post..... it's not really about flat earthers.
