Title: Question about the lives of flat earthers
Post by: SlimeTooth on April 30, 2018, 08:45:34 PM
Hi! I won’t try to convince anyone here that the earth is round. But I’m extremely interested in how your lives have been affected by your beliefs.

Do you tell your friends and family that you believe the earth is flat?

Are you extremely religous?

I’m particularly interested in Physicists who are flat earthers. I have to image that it’s hard to hold a job if you make public claims that the earth is flat.

When did you start believing the earth was flat?

Thank you!

Welcome! I can definitely understand your curiosity, though I hope you won't be too disappointed to find out that most of us are just regular, boring people.

Do you tell your friends and family that you believe the earth is flat?
Some of them. It's the same decision making process as whether or not you'd discuss politics with someone you know disagrees with you? Do I think they'll be a good sport about it, or will the conversation just turn into needless bickering? It all depends on the dynamic between the two people.

Are you extremely religous?
Not religious in the slightest!

When did you start believing the earth was flat?
Probably about 7 years ago. It's a gradual change, so it's hard to pinpoint it on a time line.

Actually if I may join in, what was the defining 'straw that broke the camel's back' as it were, that caused you to become a flat earther?

There wasn't one. As I said, it was a gradual change

May I ask you which arguments in particular have convinced you?

May I ask which of those 200 in particular? Like, maybe your top 3?

(Or if you have more than a top 3, feel free to list more.)
