It's about forcing us all into small spaces in a few cities - to make it easier for them to control us. I hope there are not many people in the world who, like you, think this is a good idea. 2 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As somebody said, they don't care about the poor. Could you explain how people in cities are more controlled by big brother than in rural areas?

Nobody forcing anybody to anything. You can still enjoy wildlife many places around the world like the good old days, when also oeople was controlled by the govern authority, unless they lived where they could not be reached.

If you stand by the shore and watch a ship set off to the horizon, you will start to lose sight of its sails as it goes over the horizon, till eventually it disappears from view altogether. Now send up a drone a few hundred feet in the air and it will be in view again. Why is that? Could it be the earth is a circle or what theory do you flat earthers have on this? 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about forcing us all into small spaces in a few cities - to make it easier for them to control us. I hope there are not many people in the world who, like you, think this is a good idea. Yes, I think it is about combatting environmental degradation. If you read the daily news more carefully, as opposed to just reading the sensationalist garbage, you will see a constant thread. There are numerous articles encouraging people to shift to EVs, to drive less, to use public transport more, to work from home if possible to reduce emissions from driving, to simplify your life, to be happy with less, to buy less stuff, to only buy what you need. Nobody seems to read these articles. People seem to be fixated on doom and gloom and sensationalism. Maybe people love drama? Regarding control, it's not an end in itself. Nobody wants to control you just for the sake of controlling you. If there is some degree of control, its because the powers that be estimate that it's benefiting the collective. The one-child policy in China is an example of this. They have no interest in preventing people from having children just for a power kick. It doesn't mean that every decision they make is a good decision. But they're not controlling people for no apparent reason.

It's not working. More and more people are working from home and moving out of the cities. NY is in a quandary and considering what to do with office blocks. They are considering converting them into apartments or low cost housing. https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/can-empty-manhattan-office-buildings-be-turned-into-apartments/3997044/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People focus on the horizon. How much do ships weigh? 200 tonnes? On a spinning ball earth, the ship would literally have to be upside down for a good portion of its trip across, say, the Atlantic ocean. So a 200 tonne ship sails across the ocean upside down? And is held down by what exactly? Gravity? And a helium balloon rises? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ocean water is not flat, its governed by gravity, that's why some parts of the world have higher coastal erosion that others.
