I've never had enough interest in the bizarre FLAT EARTH theory to bother finding out what it's all about, but then a documentary on the subject
turned up on Netflix. It appears that these likeable and harmless nutters actually believe that we are living in a gigantic soundstage (as in The
Truman Show) - some believe this is encased by a gigantic dome, some don't. Bizarre.

Anyway, what I really wanted to know was their theories about the reason
for this deception - what is the relevance of this being a flat earth and
why should anyone give a fuck? Unfortunately it didn't really go into this
at all but they don't seem to claim any sinister motive or back story -
these strange lost souls just want something for themselves to believe in
that doesn't involve having to do anything other than buy a t-shirt. When
we first meet one of the main flat-earthers, the first thing she says is
how much of a Morrissey fan she is. You can see all the album covers on the wall behind her in her Flat Earth youtube videos! How delightful! I was
won.

The documentary builds up to a simple experiment, involving lasers, that
some of them decide to film to 'prove' their theory once and for all - with amusing and strangely heartening results.

Good luck to the DAFT CUNTS, I say.

I turned it off as soon as I saw the word 'FLATTARDS'. If there's one thing
I can't fucking stand it's the kind of cunts who stick 'tard' on the end of
a word as the height of CUTTING WIT. I mean, you've got to be a particular
type of obnoxious tosser to get off on attacking such easy targets. At
least the 'debunkers' on the documentary did it in a bemusedly affectionate kind of way - not this smug, snidey fucking DAWKINESQUE smarminess...pisses

There are a few reasons people believe the Earth is flat:

1. Religious nutters who have taken a literal (mis)translation of the
Bible and believe the Earth is flat and covered in a dome called the
firmament.

2. Those with a piss-poor education who can't grasp the basics of
science, perspective or scale and only believe what they can personally
see.

3. Those who fit into one or both of the above categories and have now discovered that YouTube subscriptions and appearances at conventions pays
more than their shelf-stacking job.

4. Those who think that the "forbidden knowledge" of a conspiracy theory
makes them elite.

5. Sad losers who don't have any friends who suddenly find themselves
welcomed into a close-knit community of like-minded people.

Isn't that most of it? Like all the anti-vaxxer moms - it's an easy opportunity to feel smart and special in your otherwise humdrum existence.

I reckon these forums are 50% wide up merchants taking the piss and 50% true believers and it's impossible to tell the difference.

our Step 2 efforts.
