  1. I wonder if some of the Flat Earth types who don't believe other planets exist at all would've believed in them if they'd been called Jesus, Peter, Mary, Joseph, etc., instead of pagan things like "Jupiter and Mars".

    (in this scenario, Pluto would be Judas, I guess)

  3. Koty wiedzą lepiej? / Do Cats Know Better?

    Mam kolegę, który uważa, że Ziemia jest płaska, Księżyc to projekcja, a globalne ocieplenie to mit.

    Na mój argument, że gdyby Ziemia była płaska, to koty przecież wszystko postrącałyby z krawędzi… wyszedł.

    Nie wiem dlaczego, przecież tak się starałem dopasować jakość argumentacji.

    Cóż, tak czy inaczej, jedno jest pewne: mrozy chwilowo zelżały.

    I have a friend who believes the Earth is flat, the Moon is just a projection, and global warming is a myth.

    When I pointed out that if the Earth really were flat, cats would have knocked everything off the edge by now… he walked out.

    I have no idea why. I was clearly trying to match the quality of the argument.

    Well, either way, one thing is certain: the cold spell has eased for the time being.

  7. I was talking to a friend last week about a personal/work project I had about 10 years ago where every month or so, I had to change my mind (properly!) about something I believed in – Which in this case, meant I had to go and seek things out because it’s really hard to do every month unless it’s active.

    It’s half of the reason I spent so long embedded in Flat-Earth and Scientology; the other half was that I was researching pathways to radicalisation and trying to trace a lot of them to the source and exit.

    I was listening to a Sherlock Holmes podcast yesterday and realised that being able to change your mind completely about something is a core investigative skill (and this is how I increased my B2B sales… No! No… Away with you LinkedIn!).

    Good investigative technique means having a theory of the case from the start, but then, importantly, it means deliberately challenging it and then changing it, when new evidence emerges. It can be a lot of paperwork and mental gymnastics. Sticking to the original theory of a case and looking for evidence to support it is what created the Birmingham Six and the Central Park Five. Completely irresponsible and incompetent police work and static minds are a liability to any good casework (see also: Donald Trump who is still trying to execute the CP5).

    This isn’t really going anywhere except to note that although Sherlock was excellent at changing case-theories (and does so a lot in the books), his creator, Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle, of Cottingley Fairies and Harry Houdini feud fame, was so bad at it that he’d certainly have had a leadership role waiting in the West Midlands Police any time.

    Ironically, the person in his most famous stories that he can be most said to resemble, is Lestrade of the Yard.

  9. This plane at Melbourne airport just arrived from Santiago de Chile. It proves that the often touted flat-earth map is wrong. #flatearth

  11. Acabo de caer en la cuenta... Los terraplanistas, ¿no deberían ser los más preocupados con el calentamiento global? Es decir, si se funde el muro de hielo antártico... ¡Todo el agua de los océanos se saldría!¡Moriríamos todos!

  13. in case you don't know your latitude, set up a Foucault pendulum.

    ω=360°⋅sin⁡(ϕ)/24h

    ϕ is the latitude
    ω is the angle the pendulum goes by in 1h

  14. 🧐 *ajusta sus lentes conspirativos*

    Resulta que la NASA nos mintió todo este tiempo... ¿O no? 👀

    Acá tienen el mapa original de 1893 por Orlando Ferguson: La Tierra es CUADRADA y ESTACIONARIA según 400 pasajes bíblicos. 📜✨

    🧊 Borde de hielo: confirmado
    🌎 Curvatura: 0%
    🤯 Ciencia: temblando

  18. A few times, in informal settings like at a party or in a pub, I had been asked why #science offers no "rebuttal" against #FlatEarth claims made in many "solid" YouTube videos.

    My answer, always, is this: science can neither confirm nor refute self-sealed arguments that are designed to resist logical analysis.

    This answer never satisfies those questioners. And they inevitably follow up by pondering whether #logic, itself, is "wrong".

    In such informal settings, I habitually refrain from engaging in philosophical quibbles about logic’s completeness and consistency—especially when the topic is about the flatness of the spheroid 🌎.

  20. Dass Teile der Menschheit völlig bekloppt sind - OK. Geschenkt. Alter Hut.

    Aber mit diesem gerüttelt Maß an rezidivierendem Irrsinn hätte ich dann doch nicht gerechnet.
