Fantastic. This is a brilliant insight into the mind of a conspiracy theorist, which is what they thread was about in the first place.
We have had about 3 weeks back and forward of a few of us saying accepted, measured and well travelled distances don’t work on a 2d map and he says they do. It hit a stalemate until he tried to prove it. And then failed completely to draw five or six cities a well known distance apart.
Naturally this was picked apart and when faced with a choice, what does a conspiracy theorist do?
1) Say a mistake might have been made and go and try again?
2) Admit defeat and say that a 2d map of the world we live in just doesn’t work and is why no other flat earth fanatic has ever produced a map that works, or
3) Double down, assume what they drew was correct and that all the distances are wrong.
One one option really, 3 all the way. We now have a suggestion that all the measured distances are wrong, flight times are wrong or planes fly really really fast over distances that don’t work, but going the least efficient route just so they behave like they would on a globe, for reasons unknown.
While flight times are easy to access, lets not forget about shipping. While some of these flight routes now take passengers over the huge landmasses of the northern hemisphere, boats somehow do the same. Now this might be my global brainwashing mentality at play, but I’m of the belief that traditionally boats only really work on water.
It is the same with and conspiracy theory that starts to break down. Believe the lie is bigger than first thought and you can wave away any inconvenient truth.
