Title: Am I right or wrong
Post by: Tomatoea on February 07, 2018, 05:27:59 PM
For the longest time I have believeed that the Earth is a globe. But untill recently I have started to question the government, the world, even humanity. I feel like I have started to believe in the flat Earth but all my life I have been told that the Earth is a globe. That's where the problem comes in I'm confused at what I should believe in. Everyone calls me a creep no one agrees with me, am I right to believe in the flat Earth or am I wrong?

You come to the Flat Earth Society to ask if the Earth is flat?

Are expecting any answer other than yes?

You are wrong. The Earth is a globe. Flat Earth doesn't work in the real world. Be skeptical, but understand that some things you are told are correct.

This really isn't a FE topic, more of a personal philosophy topic.

Moved.

Yes

No one can tell you what to believe, but you can learn how to think critically, empirically, and carefully.

Reason and doubt are your sword and shield. Question everything, even your own conclusions, until you have rigorously ruled out all other possibilities.

Beware of poor reasoning. It helps to familiarize yourself with some common logical fallacies:

Go with science. Do experiments. I'm pretty sure the Earth is round because I've done the experiments, not the research. Other people's research will always fall short when it comes to firsthand experience. I can still volunteer the possibility though that I might be wrong about the Earth being round; I'm just pretty sure that I'm not. If I encounter any new evidence for a Flat-Earth that contradicts my experiments, then I'd run more experiments to either prove or disprove the theory. So far it looks like the Earth is round. You can contact me privately if you need to talk or want suggestions on how you can go about proving to yourself once and for all whether or not the Earth is round or flat.

I didn't even read the OP so I'm going to guess wrong
