The underlying premise of FET is that civilization and history is ultimately wrong and not only wrong due to lack of knowledge but also greedy liars who value a dollar over truth, a good career, and even love to lie to kids and make them think they can be astronauts.
If a round earther isn't bitter about that then they've taken into consideration the impressionable state-of-mind of the flat earther.
History's pathway favors FET. For most of time people have know the Earth to be flat.
RET resembles an ant hill blocking this path. Observe an ant hill and notice how its functionality is not unlike everything RET with the commonality of tasks occurring in a flurry of pre-programmed motions. Ironically, a colony of 40,000 ants (the observed) has collectively the same size brain as a human (the observer).
An ant hill does not last forever and once it has run its course FET will be the accepted standard.
History's pathway favors the supernatural as the source of disease. For most of time people have known the ill to be afflicted by demons.
*Insert anthill and observer analogy with fallacious comparison between a collective of ant brains and a single human brain*
The Germ Theory of Disease will not last forever, and once it runs it's course demons will be the accepted standard.
And now we see how ridiculous this seems swapped with another example of a fact that has entire branches of science based around it and practiced daily, and what was previously believed prior to advancements in knowledge. I like it, personally, I think I'll start my own forum where I deny all medicines and treatments as fakes.
It sounds ridiculous because you switched it with something else, not that it is ridiculous in a different context. It's like saying evolution is survival of the cheese snack then trying to make the argument that evolution is silly because it sounds wrong when you change things.
No, the analogy holds up. The Earth, for the majority of human history, was thought to be flat. This much is true, I'll grant you. Illnesses, for the majority of human history, were thought to be sourced in supernatural causes. If you don't believe me on that one, feel free to look into it, the Germ Theory of Disease as well as medications are a very recent development in humanity. Moreso than even the Earth being round.
Now, follow me. Gotham said, although entire branches of science are practiced daily and based purely around the idea that the Earth is round and the facts stemming from that, the entire idea of the Earth being round will be swept under the rug in favor a previous belief in a flat Earth that was deemed to have too little evidence.
I said, although entire brances of science are practiced daily and based purely around Germ Theory and facts stemming from that, the entire idea of germs will be swept under the rug in favor of a previous belief in supernatural entities that was deemed to have too little evidence.
