I posed this and a few other questions to gauge the state of mind of flat earthers. Ive come to the conclusion that they are seriously deficient in cognitive capability. They will believe what they want to and there is nothing that sane, logical or reasonable people can do about it. If i introduced a square earth theory i guarantee i will get many believers no matter how pathetic my evidence or reasoning.
All i would need to do to fill in the gaps in square earth logic is say "Nasa Conspiracy" or invent a few new words and claim that its improvable. I see this same pattern with anti vaxxers and religious extremists.
This has been done already, but with the dual Earth theory. Look in the information repository. JRoweskeptic came up with an entirely new model to counteract a very few arguments that does not work for a flat Earth. A few came to argue for his model and even though his model got increasingly more crazy they jumped on it just because it was not a spherical model. Funny how if you back up and look at things, it actually proved how naive and paranoid most FE folks are. I wonder how those people who took up his model would feel if someone told them it was a big joke to see what the response was? Or the Denpressure model, yet another ridiculous model made up to try to explain away gravity, it gets a little more stupid the more questions are asked about it. I also wonder how many people would be crushed if it came out that that one was also a big joke?
It goes to show you how easily you can lead someone away from actual logical thinking when you just base everything off of a conspiracy. So if you too decide to present a model that can lead the naive away, please let me know, I will most certainly help you out also.
