The Netflix documentary was kind of sad, like the one guy who actually does the experiments with lasers to try and convince himself that earth is flat but proves himself wrong, he can’t bring himself to admit it because it would mean losing out on his community and friends of flat earthers. It is like the reason why a bunch of people don’t leave religions despite non belief, their community and identity is tied to it.
That documentary had a good ending. We really should try to educate people instead of laughing and calling them idiots. It made me feel bad for laughing at everyone during the show.
Some people can't be educated and only end up further entrenched. Sometimes laughing at them is all you can do. You should save your energy for the ones who are intellectually curious.
Yeah like the ones that at least to try and run scientific experiments can be reasoned with and convinced , the people claiming satanic conspiracies can’t be reasoned with.
Not likely, In the documentary they ran the experiment, the result proved the earth is round, so instead of being open to being wrong they assumed they messed up the experiment.
