Why so many words. Just put a plain and simple statement. I've been successfully indoctrinated by the religion of monkey man science to believe it.
Blinded by that science bonus material:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmCE8GhTi-MEDIT: In a fairy tale of course you can prove spinning ball earth with that science, no doubt. But point is that flat earth reality destroys it and you should wake up.
What is it with flat earthers calling everyone monkeys? or monkey man science? you sound brainwashed when you talk like that. like how scientologists sound.
But anyway.
can you prove Flat earth with logic? NO
Can you perform tests/experiments to support your claims? NO
Is their sound reasoning behind your claims? NO
Do you try to counter argue to expand your knowledge? NO
But i can prove my beliefs with logic, tests, sound reasoning, and valid arguments.
your belief was popular with Socrates but then it was completely disproved by Aristotle. ever since then the debate was closed. there is no point in trying to make up reasons to believe in it with fringe reasoning.
The best you can do is say that it is your belief, and YOUR reality. and that you cant prove it but you believe it. then turn it into a religion. because that it what those are for.
I wouldn't worry about it too much. Among most conspiracy theorists, providing evidence contrary to their beliefs will only make their beliefs stronger, and this is usually proportional to how good the counter-evidence is. If it doesn't make them think the first time, it likely never will.
That being said, they're already paying for their mindset in real life, and how much they pay is proportional to both the time spent and how public they are with it (e.g. are they just sharing their beliefs anonymously, or are they sharing them with friends, family, coworkers, etc.?). The more they dive into the conspiracy, the more it will take a toll on their social success, financial success, and overall life satisfaction.
