Neil Degrasse Tyson is worried about a new strain of humans that have developed a high resistance to facts.

-
I know the resistance is strong in them!
-
So what way are you then because there are facts for both sides its just what makes sense Look at the videos below i posted links for and see what way you think then
-
For all the nonsense I've read on this forum, your replies to this post are by far the most nonsensical. Please, please tell me you're trolling. Please, for the love of all things good, please tell me you're a dedicated troll. There is no way you can possibly believe the earth is flat. There's noooooooo way.
-
Look all I'm asking is for people to have an open view on what we are told thats it and no the video isn't mine but i also bet you haven't watched it.
-
You might as well post a video telling us that the ocean is made of pudding and fairy dust. I have an incredibly opened mind, but no YouTube video is gonna disprove that the play we live on is round-ish. It's been proven by both our ancestors, and by anyone whose ever been on a commercial flight. There are also people who have been in space.
-
Ok cool as i say I'm not forcing any one to watch it so thanks for the input.
-
Still, you can't possibly believe this. Please tell me you're playing devils advocate. Or you're a troll.
-
I'm not trolling and I'm not saying i believe it. All I'm saying the video provides an element of doubt in your head it provides you evidence that suggest this could be real. All I'm asking is watch it and come to your own convlusions

All I'm asking is watch it and come to your own convlusions[/quote] that last word...convulsions, this is definitely what I come to when I listen to someone try and "prove" the earth is flat.
-
But what in saying is, why would I watch a video that's trying to prove something that is universally accepted as false? Like I said, it's the same as showing me a video that tries to convince me the ocean is made of pudding. Even if there was something in it that could provide some sliver of doubt, it wouldn't change anyone's perspective. If you watch a video telling you that the earth is flat and you come away thinking "wow I never thought of it that way, maybe it is flat," then you're dense in the head and you'll be the first to buy magic beans or snake oil.
-
The thing i don't get is everybody said the same why do i want to watch it when i know its false and yet they argue about it if you are not willing to at least open your mind a little and watch it then really why argue with me
-
Because you're as wrong as you possibly could be. You're telling people to open their mind to a bold faced lie.
-
See again you haven't watched it so its up to your telling me its wrong but yet refuse to watch the video that may doubt it Whatever ok you are saying its wrong because thats what you are told but you won't accept a snipet of evidence that may doubt it
-
Because it's not something we,as a knowledge hungry species, need to think about it debate. The overwhelming evidence that I've already collected in my life (I've been on a plane) and I've seen multiple videos and images from space, showing that earth is in face round. It does, in fact, rotate giving us night on one side and day on the other. If you travel west long enough, you'll end up back where you started. Even if I did watch that video, which I won't, it's just click bait trying to convince me of something that will never be true and never has been true. It's not narrow minded to not watch something that 99% of people would tell you is a lie.
-
Ok cool well thanks for the debate but there is no point carrying this on as you are unwilling to accept or watch any evidence that is provided to you. Oh one other thing have you been in space and looked at the earth. Just because you went on an aeroplane doesn't mean you seen the curvature of the earth and while you are on a plane all you saw is a flat horizon not a curved one. But hey your right because thats what you are taught to be.
-
There is a point, because you obviously think I'm someone whose been told the earth is round (it is) and blindly believes it. I don't know how to politely tell you that there's a difference between being open minded and being a retard. How gullible do you have to be to believe the earth is flat? Is there a conspiracy you DON'T believe in? This one makes no sense. What say you to those perfect images of the earth from space? What about the earth rotating on its axis? What about being able to circumnavigate the globe? I want these answers from you. That's what a debate it. Not telling someone to watch a video. That's like telling me God is real and to go read the bible for proof. Debate me.
-
Look let me clarify something ok i may or may not believe whats being said in the video ok i haven't done enough of my own research to prove or dis prove this. All i am saying is it opens your mind up to the possibility it may be true. I have never been to space and seen it for myself ok yes i have been on a aeroplane and when i looked out the window the horizon was flat no curves ok. So it is up to you if you watch it and if you think about some of the facts this may be viable. For someone to say they have done something that i was not involved in i will believe to a point ok but without an insurmountable of proof i will not believe it. Just like god i have never seen him or touched him so honestly he is fake as they come but that is my opinion.
-
That's a horrible way of reasoning. You've never seen/experienced something, so you can't believe it? What if I told you the moon was actually a hologram projected by nasa? You've never been there, it might be true. The point of this is simple, the earth is 100%, beyond any shadow of doubt, round. It may bulge depending on the moon, but there is absolutely no way you could ever believe that the earth might be flat. The only way would mean we've been told a lie for thousands of years, and airline pilots take sneaky, indirect routes to get "around the world" It's not a conspiracy. The earth has been observed to be round. You can circumnavigate by traveling in a straight line. You can see the curvature of the earth from high enough vantage points. Just because you saw some ancient aliens, history channel type video where "you can't disprove this, so we're gonna present it as fact" The world is going to hell quickly based off this presentation of "information"
-
Just understand this; there is not a snowballs chance in hell that the earth is flat.
-
How does a disc -blam!-ing orbit the sun and have light in different places at different times, and let me guess you also think that if the earth was round we would fall off.
-
There can be no facts supporting a flat earth belief, since it's demonstrably untrue.
-
Watch the video links and see ok. You believe what you are told
-
Idiot lol dumb videos by idiots
-
Did you watch it
-
Dude, I'm an aviator--I've seen the earth curve. I've flown around the world going a single direction. You're barking up the wrong tree with your stupidity.
