Why so many conspiracy theorists and what to do about them

There are none. To be honest, I was expecting replies along the lines of "So what if she doesn't want to show private pictures?" You know, try the "The Obamas are private people" angle.

 

I had a discussion with you about flat earth, so I want take the bait, I know it is waste of time trying to make a intelligent discussion.

    More conspiracy theories are not at all.   They are truths denied by authorities, to stop us becoming intrigued; and then investigating further.

I have no interest in scoring points in debates where Michelle Obamas pregnancy is the theme. Absurd

 

however, how do you explain earths core, shift of poles, plate tectonics and volcanos ?

Here Comes The Sun ...

Sun, Sun, Sun, Here it Comes ...

 

Does this rotation of the sun pattern on a flat earth PROVE why it's hot in Thailand most of the year and cold in Norway half the year? I'm still trying to visualize it ... let me know what you work out.

Post it in the relevant thread.

Would it make any changes? Why is Michelle relevant to discuss here but not this ? Just asking for a friend

There was a very lengthy thread about flat earth a while back.

It's a complicated topic that deserves its own thread. 

Why not just bump the flat earth thread?

Exactly, and as most aspects were already discussed there, it makes it easier to refer back to them where required.

Big Mike, while undeniably big, is not as big as our dear old planet. A bit of tangential discussion is fine, but if we start arguing over the heliocentric model, this is likely to derail the thread.

If you post that in the Flat Earth thread, I will have a look when I have time.

Hummin is "holding a grudge" because he mocked the Michelle Obama conspiracy, but several people persisted.

He should check out Gamma's thread and psychoanalyze himself.

Funny 

 

There is some things that is so far fetched that it doesn't deserve much discussion. 

 

Same goes for flat Earth. It is an mental illness literally 

Anti vaxers have to be the most retarded of them all.

Yes.

 

And, of course, ALL members should routinely check out my "thread", meaning my Topics, and not....

 

My Ivy-League Threads, which I put behind me, years ago.

 

Now, mostly, I just go naked, unless I might be doing any entertaining, or when I must go for my 90-Day Reports.

So does the Sun always circle between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer on a flat earth? It would explain why it's hot in Thailand all year. Because Thailand is near the Equator and both the Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn are fairly close to the Equator. But the Tropic of Capricorn is very far from Russia, explaining harsh winters there. 

 

Could be.

It gets even crazier because some people believe there are other "worlds" beyond the ice wall.

We don't know what there is beyond the ice wall, it is the most heavily guarded area on the planet (I am not talking about the strictly delimited touristic tours, which have been covered in detail in the relevant thread).

A mental illness which you are mysteriously drawn to, being the 4th most prolific poster in that thread. See you soon!

Well either is the earth round, and we living in the milkyway galaxy ,  and there is one universe we know of so far. The other is, we are just an simulation. 

 

What do you believe? Our reality and data we have and the proof from our space expeditions shows us we are living on a round planet. But if this is just an simulation, we are just numbers. 

 

What do. You believe ?

 

Ai says based on my answer above 

 

The user is exploring two competing ideas: 
reality as a round Earth in a single universeversus reality as a simulation. The user's query does not provide answer options in the standard multiple-choice format (A, B, C, D; or a list of options to choose from) but rather asks for a personal belief or a definitive answer between the two provided scenarios.
A definitive scientific answer between a "base reality" and a "simulated reality" is not currently possible, as there is no consensus in the scientific community. Scientific and philosophical discussions treat it as an open question or hypothesis. 
  • The view that the Earth is round and we live in a real universe is supported by extensive empirical evidence from space missions, physics, and everyday observation.
  • The simulation hypothesis suggests that our universe is an artificial emulation. The arguments often rely on statistics (if advanced civilizations can make simulations, they probably will) or observations in physics that might hint at a "pixelated" reality or a "speed limit" for the universe.
  • Some recent research has mathematically argued that the universe itself cannot be captured or reproduced by an algorithm, suggesting it is not a simulation. 
As an AI, a belief is not held; instead, a synthesis of available data is provided. The most evidence-based view, grounded in centuries of observation and modern science, is that we live on a round planet in a physical universe. The simulation hypothesis remains a philosophical and theoretical concept without definitive proof

I think we have a problem here, and your answer I believe is, we live in an alternate simulation!

 

thats the only answer if you believe in the History channels productions.

conspiracies are hard work. 

they take up a lot of your time once you get sucked in.

 

most people are intellectually lazy and don't want to make the time, so it's less work just to believe whatever they tell you and go back to sleep. 

 

I found the sun rotation around the flat earth theory interesting. It's consistent with the weather patterns on earth.

Well if the sun goes around a flat Earth, what constellation keeps the sun in place? There is no mathematical model for a flat Earth shape where the sun stays so synchronous in place. And for that sake it would be daylight 24 hours everyday everywhere and not just at the poles during the summer.
