I usually work on the basis that anyone who takes:
a patrician tone and
starts dismissing alternative thinking in an attempt to shut down any questioning of enforced/approves narratives
... well, I've learned by being on GAW to wonder if it's not got some kind of glowie behind it.
So many things that ten years ago, I knew (I KNEW) were nutty fringe conspiracy theories, are now obviously the truth.
I have learned that the only way to proceed is in not dismissing anything and always distrusting when someone categorically tells me something is nutty.
I just want more information on the topic, and I will make my own mind up, the last thing I need is anyone shutting down Anons with interesting theories.
Aircraft navigate the globe applying the fundamental premise that the Earth is a sphere. I have flown around the World many times and marvel at the contours below from my preferred window seat.
Satellites are positioned around a globe not a pancake
Is that it? That's the conclusive proof? You flew in passenger planes, therefore the Earth is a ball?
Hardly quod erat demonstrandum.
You have to show your workings, rather than relying upon Grand Canyon size leaps of faith.
I am not so foolish or so blind as to suggest I know whether the OP makes sense or not. All I'm interested is in hearing more. I know I've seen evidence that calls into question the veracity of the ball earth idea, and I haven't seen proof from any trustworthy sourced that proves the theory. That just means I'm keeping an open mind and I want more data.
In the same way that I know that the louder people try to shout me down about my inquisitiveness about the veracity of climate change, the less I'm inclined to listen to the dogma. The ball earth theory has so many of the same people shouting in the same way, that the louder and more emotionally they shout, the more I suspect them of lying.
My approach after the past 10 years of vast lies is to keep an open mind about everything but especially the things you were told not to question.
You have never flown in a plane, and have no understanding of the geometry of satellite positioning. Got it. I'll bet you think the moon is flat too. How do you explain the existence of ocean tides without relying upon the gravitational influences of two spheres in rotation acting upon each others' masses?
Since I have flown all over the world and transited many corridors of flight I have the personal appreciation of having been able to see and perceive the curvature of the earth in all positions as flown in an assortment of generally linear directions. Had you had this experience yourself, what you struggle with as only theory for you at this point in your life would be able to be better appreciated as fact.
Seeing is believing. No leap of faith necessary. Just a basic command of mathematical reasoning, Geometry, and Geography.
Got it. Despite the fact that I have flown "around" the world multiple times. And given your lacks of tolerance for ambiguity, I suspect I have studied far more than you and am certainly better educated.
I am now going to follow Mark Twain's advice about attempting to engage with people of your ilk.
God be with you and keep on doing any good things that you do by frequenting this wonderful forum.

Ok you did not read my post, or you did not comprehend, or you are just gate-keeping.
Whatever, I really want to know more now about what the OP said. You have convinced me they might be on to something
