However, we are people who are supposed to be engaged in critical thinking. We ridicule people who don't. We ridicule people who ridicule "conspiracy theorists" when those people don't bother to even look into the ideas.
I think Flat Earth is a CIA disinfo con job, and I have dismissed it in the past. I might have checked it out for a few minutes, but I have never seen anyone put forth a real argument as to why it is worth really considering.
The thread on Ghost Ezra brought up the idea that he promotes FE. It's one of the reasons I am suspicious of (but yet entertained by) him.
The one thing I don't want to do, though, is claim I am a critical thinker and yet have a knee-jerk reaction to something I don't agree with.
If anyone has evidence, I will take a look. So far, I haven't seen any in this thread -- and that is interesting in itself.
How about you? Do you shoot down ideas you don't agree with just because you don't agree with them (like the sheep do), or do you engage in your own critical thinking?
That is the reason for this thread, which is also what Q has always encouraged.
Q is centered around a plan to free the United States and the world from control by globalist elites that manipulate people through the media. There's more to it but that's the brunt of it. You can use critical thinking to tackle any issue you'd like, from flat earth to what the best brand of shoes is or anything else. The board isn't about critical thinking at large, it's about Q. I'm saying this is the wrong board to ask this question because it's off topic.
I easily shoot down ideas I don't agree with when convincing evidence hasn't been provided. I engage in critical thinking when it's warranted. I haven't seen anything from flat earthers that makes me want to delve deeper or entertain the thought. Even if the theory of a flat earth were true, it wouldn't change my life in any practical way and therefore is so far down on the priority list of things to be concerned about that I'll most likely never bother.
I said the OP that I don't believe it is.
