Your Alt-Reality Is Boring......A plea for more interesting alt-realities than the Moon Landing Hoax, Flat Earth, and No Virus.

Questioning is never taboo.
The problem is that those who believe in flat earth are totally unwilling to accept the very real evidence that their belief is entirely without merit. It is trivial to prove the earth is ellipsoid of some kind. I have explained on several occasions how this can be done with high school knowledge of spherical geometry and the interior angles of a triangle on a positively curved surface. All of which is available to anyone without going into space.
But flat earther's are intellectually lazy and do not want to understand how the math thoroughly discredits their illusion. So they continue insisting that 2+2=5 and pretend like questioning the answer of 4 is somehow "taboo". It's not. It's just plain and provably wrong to anyone who cares about the truth.
Without merit? Prove it because those are the exact words I used on someone when I lit out to prove his flat earth arguement is without merit. I got a rude awakening. Your own eyes are the way to do it and not looking at others opinions. Amd as far as the math, I've a daughter who is an aerospace engineer, she will tell you, theoretical math can prove both a flat earth and a globe. Because math doesn't care, you can prove any "possibility" with math but not thr actual fact without some other means of observation.
Funny the math is suddenly useless when it comes to the curvature of rhe earth and what should be hidden behind it. A simple telescope or laser can prove the curvature false.
Intellectually lazy is your problem.
I have proven it several times before. Here is the summary.
Use flight planning software. Draw a round trip, direct route triangle between any 3 points on the earth. Make sure they are at least 2000 nm away to get sufficient resolution. Add up the interior angles of the triangle formed by this route. They sum to more than 180 degrees. That proves mathematically the surface you are flying over is positively curved. And since this works for any 3 points anywhere on the globe, this proves the earth can only be an ellipsoid. Q.E.D
Your aerospace engineer daughter can clearly do this and prove it to herself. If she can't, she needs to find a new career. And if you feel the flight planning software is lying, feel free to hop in a plane and fly the route to prove it really is correct.
Laziness is not my problem. There is no opinion about what I say above. Only fact. It is the same as saying 2+2=4. Only someone who is either intellectually dishonest or intellectually lazy would say otherwise.
“One has to break through their own cognitive dissonance to receive righteous discernment to distinguish between the truth and lies that we have been indoctrinated into believing through our educational system.”~ Michael T. Pyle
Your "flight planning software" is lying. I hopped in a plane and proved it to be false.
No you didn't. Because I've used it thousands of times and know it is absolutely correct. You are obviously trolling because you have an emotional desire to believe something which is provably false. Up to you what you want to think, but at some point you are going to have to admit the truth.
