Software that makes it so if you are trying to prove an optical illusion, it straightens out the line when you try to solve the illusion???
why don't you get an artist's compass and a T-square. draw the image. done.

The Conspiracy can and does tamper with paper to cause it to shift the image as it is being drawn.

Tsk, tsk.  Steve, I hate to say it, but your trolling skills are not what they used to be.  It's like you're not even trying anymore.

So what about variance in g at the degree of .01m/s why would we need that?

Because gravitational fields do exist in nature, and we are always interacting with them.

Or take this one

It's a jpg, so it cannot be moving, but if you move your head back and forth, it looks like it is.

The Conspiracy has developed secret animation techniques for all image codecs, and they use them to make such "illusions" move.

how about 3d movies?

The objects really do come out of the screen towards you when you put on your 3D glasses. This is a technique developed by the Conspiracy during the early days of filmmaking. You can tell it is a Conspiracy tool because they used it in making a film about the ISS.

I thought that you only used free software that includes source code that you can check for tampering.

The Conspiracy can and does tamper with the execution of binary files at the hardware level.

So Robosteve believes that jpgs move.
interesting. why don't you do a screen capture of the picture, then paste it.
see if it still moves

Take a step off the edge of your chair and watch the surface of the earth carefully.

When you walk across the room, are you moving across the floor or is the floor moving under your feet?

When I walk across the floor I'm propelling myself across with my own two legs.

When I walk off the edge of a chair and observe the surface of the earth carefully I'm not propelling myself towards the earth.

Obviously the direct explanation from experience is that the earth is propelling itself towards me.

What a bizarre thread again and what bizarre methods.

Yes, at a small enough level, you can use a flat earth approximation and yes you can imagine the earth as an elevator. There will be no distinction from gravity except for tidal forces which will only be evident over larger distances.

This is entirely expected by the law of gravity, so you end up not having proved/disproved anything... you've only proved by the chair experiment that either theory (elevator vs gravity) is plausible. You are not any farther in discovering the truth. The only way to discover the truth is to set up an experiment where the theory of gravity fails and the elevator theory is correct. The only way to do that is to use larger distances.. which of course you refuse to do which means you refuse to test the theory of gravity which means you are espousing something of a religious faith rather than a true scientific spirit.

Seems awfully convenient to blame everything on a conspiracy nobody can find any proof exists.

Here, there is a way that will make it impossible for the conspiracy to intervene, and to have a perfectly straight line as well as a perfect right triangle. Get a flat piece of lumber. If you want, you can even cut the tree yourself and sand it down so you have a nice flat disk of wood. Then, more on the left hand side, draw two dots 3" apart. Connect the dots with a straight line. Any two points connected with a single line is always a straight line. If you don't trust your handiwork at drawing straight lines, you can use a laser. Now, I know about bendy light. So, what you would need to do to avoid this, is to have the surface of your drawing plane parallel with the surface of the Earth. Thus, the bending light will not vary side to side, only up and down. Making it so that, on the plane you are drawing on, it is straight. Now, you need a compass, if you don't want to use protractors, which would be changed by the Conspiracy. Hell, you'd even say a compass is. So, you need to objects, anything will do, so long as one is 4 inches long, and the other is 5 inches long. Now, from the bottom of the line you drew, draw a circle around that point with the object that's 4 inches long. Place one end at the point you already drew, and place your writing utensil at the other end of said object, and spin it in a circle about the fixed point. Do the same thing with the upper point, but using the object that's 5 inches long. The circles will intersect at two points. It will be to the left and right of the bottom point previously drawn. Then, simply connect the dots, again using the laser guide oriented to not be affected by Bendy Light in our drawing plane. You can use any writing instrument you wish, and there are many ways you can make your own writing instrument. Heck, since you're doing it on wood you got yourself, you can even scratch the surface with a sharp rock. Unless you think the conspiracy has altered every tree and every rock on the entire planet?

A nice picture to go along with it. The dark black line is the first line you draw. The blue circle is the 4" circle, the magenta circle the 5" one. The two thinner black lines are the triangle, and the two light black lines are the triangle in other direction.

So essentially you don't know how they could do it.
I thought the point of the Conspiracy was to look fancy, and have a big budget
with that kinda resources and money, why wouldn't the just go to the moon, which is only a few thousand km according to FET?

I hope everyone realizes that there is a name for the above.. its called paranoid schizophrenia. Only a fool would argue or even speak to a fool such as this. A psychotic break.. complete disconnection with reality... combined with a healthy pinch of hypocrisy for doubting standard science because he doesn't trust the government but expecting everyone to take his word for it that there is an alien conspiracy going on.. so who wants to waste their valuable energy arguing with a delusional hypocritical paranoid?

This isn't a personal attack fyi, I am sure many of the dsm criteria for paranoid schiz have been met.

And I love how everyone else is following suit. this is the cancer that is killing FES, someone should call Robowtham...

I knew something was up when Parsifal started going on an on about his senses being better than machines, and that optical illusions aren't real. Now Gin is saying that moonlight is harmful due to his extremely badly derived conclusion, and that the earth doesn't push on plants (blatant lie). to top it off, Tom Bishop is saying that plants don't need light to live.

Well they might not necessarily be trolls... we've all seen A Beautiful Mind, and you don't have to be frankly schizophrenic to have these delusional beliefs.. there's plenty of people with schizoaffective disorder and borderline schizophrenia who have enough capacity to work a computer and even hold down a job but down inside have this bizarre break with reality.

I'm going to assume you are an FET'er since you seem to spout one or two line jibberish in most of your posts.

>99% of people in this world are sane and think they are sane. They do not have breaks with reality.
<1% of the people in this world are insane, but they think they are sane. Many of them fall into specific clinical categories which have been outlined for example in the DSM. They often also are subject to paranoid delusions (such as conspiracy theories, government implanting sensors in their brain so that they can hear your thoughts etc)

So your comment was not only useless in terms of adding to the discussion (since you never actually came out and made a specific point in regards to the discussion), it is also completely incorrect. Just another one-liner that superficially sounds attractive to people who are shallow.

Actually forget the 1%. Anyone who harboured no delusions would go crazy. You think you're important, for example. I think I'm witty. Oh, if reality were to strip our delusions, could we bear it?

Actually forget the 1%. Anyone who harboured no delusions would go crazy. You think you're important, for example. I think I'm witty. Oh, if reality were to strip our delusions, could we bear it?



amazed is correct with this one. Delusions=/=hallucination or distorted reality.
insanity is a nearly quantifiable quality which is described in the DSM-IV.
consult it, and you will find that hardly anyone you know fit the criteria of the delusional disorders
