There is a psychological state where the mind convinces a person that their
convictions are true, even when obviously not.

The mind is a subtle thing where rational thought is meant to shift our emotional
state. But imagine where the emotional state shifts the mind.

I know how difficult this sounds, but living with a family member who did this,
you start to realise it is their way of coping.

It is hard to accept but we are all somewhere on this continum and flat earthers
are very near the not sane end. It is not their fault, and ofcourse there is nothing
wrong, except all the facts. But so much helps them to believe like the conspiracy
is so deep, and only they see the truth. 9/11 hoaxers equally feel the same.

Once you know this is where they are, you just need to accept eccentrics make
life the rich tapestry it is, and if they are happy, that is a good thing.

For some reason I'm reminded of this:


I love it when that stupid commercial comes on TV that talks about....

"an object in motion tends to stay in motion, and an object at rest tends to stay at rest"

How dumb does one have to be to believe that?

I have to agree that I am merely a human living on the surface of a land.
I cannot see the edges, but I can see when the sun is gone, stars and the moon.

I can also see the International Space station buzz over every 1 hr 40 mins in a
very predictable way, and look up the predictions of when it will come over again.

As much as I would love to think things are not as they seem, it is all geometry of
a round earth with a low earth orbit which I can confirm with my own eyes.

For this to be a flat world with a $150 billion item floating above, you would need
something much greater than mankind to fake this.

But then some will believe anything, literally...
