So while scientists have been verifying this stuff for thousands of years, you’re going to go with “apparently they made it up” without even verifying it?
This is exactly the problem. The “experts” and “scientists” say it is so, therefore “do not question”. Exhibits top down hierarchical control and supression of questioning (anti-human AND anti-science) rather than easily explainable and logical conclusion. Thus, suspicious.
Sure there are plenty of non-scientists who defer and don’t question because they assume the scientists are right, but the problem is that many of people questioning established science these days barely understand the basic concepts.
What is the “easily explainable and logical conclusion” if not the one put forth in this video?
I love alternate theories, but they still have to stand up to scrutiny. Claiming it’s suspicious just because it’s “science” is pretty dumb.
It is easily explainable and logical. The problem is that some people object to learning facts that are contrary to their presupposed "common sense." (Do heavy objects fall faster than light objects? Galileo wants to know.)
So you’re going to go with that broken record comment that everyone who is afraid to investigate says? Bro, I AM verifying it. You’re watching me in the process of verifying it. And for the entire time I investigate this and every other tough to swallow consideration, I have to listen to people like you say your unthinking programmed comments on repeat. And I’ll happily do it.
You know all this because...? You realize that the end point of radical skepticism is that you can't rely on anything at all, not even the directions on your appliances. Nor even your own memoranda (they could have changed them behind your back). You have no point of contact with reality. You have a mental problem.
But to come back to the thread and not let it go into a memory hole... You said "There's absolutely no record of [Eratosthenes] existing until they made him up in the eighties or whatever." This is manifestly false when references him go back to the 1st century. So, you were not merely mistaken, you simply lied outright, making a statement entirely without foundation. Your "assumption" was a fantasy, having no relationship to reality. So, to say "it's not even a stretch to assume" is frivolous nonsense.
But that is how you work. When something is inconveniently an obstacle to your fantasy, you pretend they don't exist---and expect the rest of us to join in your pretense. This is called solipsism, the doctrine that the world is what you think it is. It is a mental problem. You are not enlightened. You are just crazy.
Apparently they made up Eratosthenes, though I haven’t verified that for myself.

You are clearly not a scientist.
A broken clock can be right twice in a day. Also the boy who cried "Wolf!" did tell the truth once.

Great! Get back to me when you’re done verifying this and I’ll take you seriously.
No you won’t. You are the type who only takes seriously what you already believe.
There's absolutely no record of him ever existing until they made him up in the eighties or whatever.
Hard to prove when references go back to the 1st century (see above post).
"There's absolutely no record..." Don't you have any embarrassment at making such a boner?
They make up the history, let alone the science. It's not even a stretch to assume they do this with 90% of everything.
