The Flat Earth: Why It Matters

I have been asked this before: [quote]"Why does it matter if the earth is Flat? Either way, round or Flat, my life remains the same."[/quote] But it does matter. Maybe you are not the curious type. Thats not bad. But remember this: what we think defines our reality. The cult of science claims two simple things: that water flows downhill, and that the earth is rotating from west to east at 1000mph. One of those facts is directly observable: we know that water flows downhill. The other is not a direct observation: no one has seen the earth spin. Think about it this way: [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narmada_River]The Narmada river in India flows from east to west[/url], OPPOSITE the supposed rotation of Earth. If Earth is really spinning at 1000mph, how does the Narmada river overcome that force by flowing [b]in the opposite direction?[/b] Believing in a round, spinning earth causes you to believe that to phenomena which are mutually exclusive are both true at the same time. This violates the law of non contradiction. See why it matters? What you think can cause you to accept that a reality which is impossible, is somehow still true. I will be discussing these and other issues in my upcoming Twitch Stream, [url=https://www.twitch.tv/krishnasprophet/profile]Flat Earth & Thought[/url], tomorrow at 8pm eastern time. Feel free to tune in, and throw what you got at me.

  • Your stream would be better if you didn't play Destiny. I love these posts though, keep it up.

      • One of your primary arguments is that earth is spinning so fast that we should be flung off. One of the explanations of flat earth thought is that instead of gravity, the earth simply rises at 9.8 m/s^2. So tell me. Why are we not crushed under the acceleration? Because if we can be spun around and not be flung off, then how can we move very fast through space and not be crushed?

        • Not so up to date on how the forces of acceleration work are you? The earth could be travelling at a billion miles an hour, if it's not accelerating or decelerating the rivers will flow any direction they like. They like to travel downhill as you state. I won't be joining your twitch stream.

        • Ok. If the earth was flat, then a commercial flight heading east would have to constantly turn left as "north" would be pointing to the middle of the disc, causing the plane to swing around the disc. So why are contrails straight and not curved?

          • How come your answers to people questioning the flat earth never piece together?

              • Go out of the atmosphere and into space and tell me if the Earth is flat.

                In your other post, you used the theory that a helicopter floating above the ground is proof of a flat Earth, since if it was round, it would've flew away. I want you to do something... Jump up in the air, and land on your feet. Describe to me, [b]in detail[/b], what just happened to you, and explain how that proves the Earth is flat.

I blow my nose on the couch And fuсk my nostrils and my sense of smell I breathe through my mouth Don't give a fuсk about seeing bitсh, fuсk my eyes Fuсk physical perception yo, I'd rather be blind Fuсk time, seconds are too short and minutes are a joke And hours are way too long, they should be half an hour at most And fuсk coasts, who gives a fuсk about where water meets land And fuсk boats, just because you float you think you're so fuсking bad And fuсk jokes, I don't need to be funny all the time My dog has a tumor and he's probably gonna die, but... (I don't a give a fuсk...) About anything, fuсk everyone and fuсk everything, what (I don't give a fuсk...) I literally don't give a fuсk about anything Walked into a coffee shop and ordered a cup The girl says "small, medium, large?" I say "bitсh I don't give a fuсk" She said "I can't process your order if you don't pick a size" I said "fine, I'll take a large, but I still don't give a fuсk, alright?" Don't give a fuсk about beverage size options motherfuсker And I don't give a fuсk about liquids either They're all wet and shit and tend to spill all over the place Like human semen when I get it all over my face I'm not gay, I just don't give a fuсk about straight sex And fuсk my diсk, I'll pee and cum out of my mouth instead. Fuсk biological functions, fuсk the human body I prefer the body of a bat with the head of a coyote I call myself batyote and I fight crime at night I know its similar to batman but motherfuсk copyright I plagiarize all the time, I do it everyday Cause I'm on the right track baby, I was born this way And fuсk birth, entering the world of space & time is a bitсh Searching for purpose in the random universe sucks diсk Is it deterministic or am I free to choose my way Did I choose to not give a fuсk about ice cube trays If I want ice I'll go to the fuсking corner store and buy a bag Filling you up and waiting for the water to freeze is a motherfuсking drag You know what? Fuсk the word fuсk, I don't need to use it I'll replace it with the word chainsaw for this chorus (I don't a give a chainsaw...) About anything, chainsaw everyone and chainsaw everything, what (I don't give a chainsaw...) I literally don't give a chainsaw about anything If there was a contest to see who doesn't give a fuсk the most I wouldn't win cause I don't give a fuсk about winning yo I don't even give a fuсk about not giving a fuсk, so I do give a fuсk... wait, what? (I give a fuсk...) About everything, I love everyone and care about everything (I give a fuсk...) I literally care about every motherfuсking thing [/spoiler]
