Why? Why is it that globers can’t have civil and rational discussions about the shape of the earth and they always resort to harassment, personal attacks, and name-calling? If science really is about learning from being wrong why can’t they just accept that they don’t understand or know the explanation to a phenomenon explained by flat earth. Instead they have to call us names and attack us for challenging their own worldview.
If you don’t know just say you don’t know or don’t engage, don’t call me or others names in the comments. Let’s keep this civil.
I know that this is most likely bait, but it’s fun to address this topic.
The problem is the base of the arguments. Often flat earth theories disregard theories we see as proven, based on empirical evidence, and form their own theories, which have flaws that people “globers” see as authorities in the field (e.g. scientists, scholars) can point out in a reasonable manner. However, these flaws are often disregarded due to paranoia, claiming these people are also part of the conspiracy, or are brainwashed by it.
This leads to a disjointed thinking process. One side cannot think like the other due to different bases in logic, so any classic arguments are fruitless to convince the other. Hostility ensues due to frustration.
It’s similar to people who suffer from psychosis. There is no point in arguing traditionally, and the only way to help them is through processes like the LEAP method, in order to help them connect to a more grounded reality, if that is even possible.
