Destroying Flat Earth Without Using Science - Part 4: The Conspiracy

It may seem like I've said all there is to say about the flat earth phenomenon, that dumbest hoax on the internet, but we haven't yet examined the conspiracy itself. What would have to be true for this scam to be pulled off? Rather incredibly, without making a single observation or knowing anything about science whatsoever, even just the story of the con itself falls apart quite laughably upon the slightest bit of scrutiny. Let's check it out.

Check out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!

As an aerospace engineer, I can confirm the sex party ritual is required to obtain your degree.

Imagine being one of those people who studied Physics for years through school, then University, then getting your masters. And you're super excited to start on your career as a physicist, and then first day on the job the boss calls you into their office and says "btw, all that stuff you learnt over the last 10 years or so...it's all a lie. We don't actually do any work, we just sit around playing video games all day and then tell people we've discovered something new." What a mindfuck that would be.

Aerospace engineer here. I got inducted to the conspiracy the first day of my first job. You wouldn't believe the ceremony. The drugs were insane and the human sacrifices were incredible! Let me tell you, working at Lockheed Martin is nothing like the job listings.

"Any god who is so weak that it can be hidden by its own creations is clearly not worth worshipping" is a RAW ass line

[onyren]

Im considered the stupidest amongst my friends but like they keep on saying "at least you're not a flat earther" and this makes me proud of myself

[Luckyluckyluc]

The funniest thing for me is flath earthers typing "science is fake" on a device solely created through science LMAO

[younggod]

man, the idea that there are more people in on the lie than "sheeple" who are being deceived made me laugh out loud so freaking hard. imagine if the whole earth was just a gigantic truman show with actors and liars abound, just to play a prank on a select few? its unimaginably funny

[Aminuteorso...]

Who would win?

1. Centuries of scientific research, that have proven extremely precise in guiding everything we do.

2. "That's what they want you to think"

[YoBoiHrcky]

ngl, that conspiracy where every scientist serves under one entity to lie about things makes for a really good fictional story

[JackSparrow-reql]

I walked off the edge of the earth the other day... luckily I was rescued by the giant turtle holding up the earth on its shell! Phew! Close call! 🐢🤟

I love how he gets more passive aggressive with each episode of this series… and with good reason!

Best tip I've found is that you can't convince someone out of being stupid. You can only lead them to do it themselves.

Legit just ask them how things work. The moment they mention some BS... ask them how that works. Then how X interacts with Y.

Genuine questions, not pointed. Basically, lead them to try and answer the questions you think will help them understand they're wrong.

The moment they say "I don't know" Tell them you're actually really curious about it... then ask them if they can find the answer.

You can't convince someone out of being stupid, but you can leave them with the questions that require answers that WILL convince them out of it... and the moment you come at it from a point of wanting THEM to explain it, you cease to be part of a group trying to mislead them. Never state "Hey... this wouldn't work". Just go "Hey... I noticed this. How would these two things work together?"

People don't like cognitive dissonance, which is why they ignore the facts and avoid the people presenting those facts. If you make the dissonance come from within themselves, it'll eat them from inside out until they're done.

It's how my mom got out of being a Jehovah's Witness.

It's a pretty useful technique.

If the earth is flat, Why aren’t we constantly being attacked by slimes?
Edit: To those that say mob spawning is off, Explain Mosquitoes,

[danraskin]

I love the fact that according to their logic Trump was in on the conspiracy and he managed to not tell anyone for 5 years

[TV-qfrh]

Absolute genius, with all the incontrovertible evidence my biggest regret is that I missed the sex party indoctrination in the second year of my physics degree, damn 😂.

[snirest]

This is actually more convincing than any science and definitely much more hilarious 😂

[barelyprotestant]

I always like to out-maneuver the conspiracy theorists.

"I believe the earth is flat."

"Oh, you're one of those people who believe the earth exists? You're really fine with giving in to what they want you to believe?"

Part 5: Cats
If the world were flat cats would have pushed everything off it millenia ago

[Silberstern-bdjx]

I‘m asexual and going to start studying physics in a few months. Please keep me out of the haunted mansion sex party and just fill me in on the conspiracy in a quick briefing, thank you very much.

You could fly a flat-earther to space and they would still say the windows are screens.
