January 29, 20232 yr The sky is filled with spherical objects visible with a telescope. Yet, Earth, is flat, but casts the shadow a sphere would. Curious.
February 2, 20232 yr https://youarenotsosmart.com/transcripts/transcript-interview-with-steven-novella-from-episode-016/ Quote David: And it always seems to me that it’s like – conspiracy theories are projected toward things that are just very complicated to understand. And they like take something that’s – this thing that has lots of moving parts, is very complicated. There’s more to it than– There are more people involved than you could ever meet and talk to. And then it turns it into something really, really, really simple. Like the – it’s like taking something very complex and making it super simple and easy to pick apart in some way. Steven: Yeah, I mean, partly it’s a desire for simplicity and understanding. "I’m going to make sense of this wide array of events and factoids by saying it’s, ‘everything is created by the conspiracy. Any evidence that’s there, that was put there by the conspirators. Any evidence that’s missing, that was hidden by the conspirators. And so, once you’re inside that mental framework, there’s no way out. It’s a self-contained belief system. No evidence can convince you that the conspiracy is not true. Because that was just planted. Right, so like – when the – the moon hoax conspiracy theory. Pulling off a hoax to fake going to the moon was actually more complicated than just going to the moon. David: Right. Steven: But every time we come up with more evidence. "Oh look, we have a satellite now with low moon orbit that’s taking pictures of the Apollo 11 landing site. And you could see the footprints of the astronauts. I mean it’s smoking gun evidence. David: Right. Steven: That we were there, that people were walking around on the moon. "Well they, NASA must have faked it.” Well, there you go, so alright there’s nothing we can do unless we – even if we took that person to the moon and put them at the Apollo 11 site, they could say, "Oh, they just mocked this up for me.” I mean, there’s just no evidence that could possibly get them out their mindset. Because – and any evidence could’ve been faked, right? ... I don’t like to be an armchair psychiatrist, you know what I mean? So I try not to like analyze people’s psychology just from casual non-clinical interaction. But, it is certainly recognized that there are some people who have more of a tendency to be paranoid. To have, what we call, paranoid ideation. And it has been studied, in fact, people who tend to believe in conspiracies are also more likely to see patterns in random visual images as well. Which is really interesting. They might have this enhanced pattern recognition, or they may just have a decreased sort of reality testing filter – meaning that they are much more likely to think that patterns that they think they see are real.
February 3, 20232 yr Are these spherical phenomena in the sky an illusion? Or a projection by NASAlluminati? (tm) Could aliens, or lizard people, be controlling what we see think and hear using their mind control? Do the Wolverhampton Wanderers make sense? Back to the studio, Karl.

A medium pizza could cast the same shadow I guess. I understand that the earth is flat but is it round like a frisbee or square/rectangle like a piece of paper?

Buy my book, "Beyond the Ice Wall" which is available now, as a small pillow of shredded paper.

February 4, 20232 yr Funny when you ask for evidence of the ice wall they produce the Game of Thrones Ice Wall.

February 21, 20232 yr I'm curious about the 6 different directions. I'm counting: 1) Earth's rotation on it's axis 2) Earth's rotation around the sun 3) The solar system rotating within the milkyway I'm unaware of our galaxy rotating around something, but sure, lets call that 4 just in case that's a thing. What is 5 and 6?

What is 5 and 6? another two, presumably, could be: - the Earth's gyroscopic precession about its axis, which would constitute a separate degree of freedom from the axial rotation itself - the relative motion of all bodies due to the expansion/inflation of the universe itselt There is no central axis around which galaxies rotate that I'm aware of there's also this:
