Isn't the producer/creator/writer of the show from the porn industry in which he only made cuckold movies? Really don't think it's a stretch. It's probably true.

Edit: oh I don't know about the supremacy stuff. I just think the guy has a cuck fetish and he's drawing from there.

The moment you posted the second wall of bullshit you outed yourself as a flat earther wack-a-doo, not "open minded."

The fact that people believe in things like "flat earth theory" in modern day actually scares me.

If you think about it, it really does explain a lot of the mysteries science just can't tackle.

I wonder what's on the other side.

It's insane. There are soooo many reasons why it's an absurd idea. Do they have a theory on how it's possible to fly "around" the earth in a straight line?

If I take off going West, and just keep flying, eventually I'll end up right where I started. Does Earth just reset itself once you hit the edge? Lol

If anyone wants to get into the Flat Earth thing I would suggest watching Mark Sargent's video https://youtu.be/fk4YqPtvJao I find this topic utterly fascinating. I never thought I would get into this much.

The Flat Earth theory can easily be debunked by showing video of the curvature of the Earth. Video of NASA or any other government space agency doesn't count as they have been caught red handed with fakery and hoaxes. And video that uses a fish eye lens doesn't count obviously because it distorts the horizon.

Not true. The creator of the simulation argument, Nick Bostrom, claims only a 25% chance of us living in a simulation. With that said, I love the simulation argument and think it ties into quantum suicide (thank you whoever posted that. I was unaware it was a legitimate thought experiment). I too have had the sensation of dying and being "reset" in a situation where I was still alive. It makes me feel stupid to say but it's the only way to describe it. If we are in a simulation it would make sense that we could die and then restart for the sake of continuing the simulation. Or be "moved" to another simulation where we didn't die. Hopefully that makes some sort of sense. I'm at work so my brain is fried.

I love conspiracy stuff, there's so much noise in this area though it's hard work wading through swathes of detritus to get to the stories where there might be something 'in it'.

Pat Uskert (one of the guys who used to present UFO Hunters) said it best for me on a podcast a few years ago when he described conspiracy theories like an onion; you have to peel through layers and layers of waste in order to get to the tasty bit in the middle

Living in a small village in Wales, I tend to roll my eyes at every doomsday scenario or new world order 'takeover' that's supposedly just around the corner, but the really crazy ones for me at the moment remain the Madeline McCann disappearance and the British society abuse scandal.

I think in both cases the mainstream media are either being extremely stupid or deliberately not investigating people alive and well still in the public eye for fear of what may happen to them.

What's so crazy about the Madeline McCann disappearance? Is there a theory I'm missing? Genuinely interested!

I'm really curious what your conditions are, because in several of the videos that you posted above claiming there is no curvature, it shows an obvious curvature.

I mean, if the earth was flat, wouldn't one side always be sunny and one side would always be dark?

Or if it is on a edge like a coin on it's edge, wouldn't day/nigh cycle be super short?

BearFlexington · Aug 12, 2015

The term "Conspiracy Theory" was coined by the CIA as a propaganda tool to smear people questioning the JFK assassination. And this often cynical meta description is used to this day to marginalize unpopular beliefs, whether founded or otherwise.

Or is that a conspiracy theory?

Sorry man, but there's a part of you that wants desperately to believe it so much that you are subconsciously ignoring endless amounts of evidence.

Unfortunately nothing we say, link or "prove" to you is going to change your mind at this point, it's already made up and only you can do anything about that.

So... the sun just hangs over the earth with a rather small light radius? Then how do you explain different seasons? Why are days shorter in winter and longer in summer? (in the northern hemisphere)

Also, talking curvature, how do explain the classic phenomenon of a ship "building up" on the horizon?

How do flat Earth folks deal with the propagation of seismic energy through the earth?

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learn/glossary/?termID=170&alpha=S

The compression waves resulting from earthquakes are detectable all around the world accept for directly opposite of the epicenter... They can't pass through the molten core of the earth. It's why we know that the center of the earth isn't solid.

Visual evidence isn't the only reason we know the earth is a sphere.

Also, how do they account for Antarctica? The area that it possesses on a flat earth map is nonsensical. I skipped around that video and he said something about Antarctica not being accessible or legal to visit or something which isn't true. Half of the entire Geology department at my undergrad were down there for research each year. Along with hundreds of other scientists.

Are you familiar with the Coriolis effect? Long range snipers often have to account for the rotation/curvature of the earth to hit really far off targets, if the earth truly was flat, why would you need to account for it at all? The effect is tiny with ballistic firearms, but for long range missiles and artillery? Very important.

A video explaining it, since youtube is a far more valuable resource to you than thousands of years of science.

Said this a long time ago, but I will repeat myself; I'm a believer of the relatively unpopular conspiracy theory that the Berlin Wall never truly went down, because Germany itself doesn't exist. It's been a government coverup for a 100 or so years as an excuse to send people to their deaths (World Wars allegedly) so that the people in power now had little to no opposition.
