Yeah I like to question everything, which is the reason I know this. I investigated and saw the evidence myself.
It’s a little disappointing to me that most people aren’t this way.
Comment on THE EARTH IS SPHERICAL, DIPSHITS
Allero@lemmy.today 6 days agoInterestingly, most of people just believe in spherical Earth without ever checking anything, because society says so.
This is not an argument in favor of flat earth, but an argument that people around you can make you firmly believe absolutely anything without you ever bothering to check it by yourself.

We stand on the shoulders of giants. I don’t know how many of us repeated the experiments in our chemistry textbooks to prove that what was claimed was correct. A few piddling things here and there, but when did I get to build a nuclear bomb?

Sure enough, it’s basically impossible to recreate human knowledge by checking everything yourself to see if it’s true; but something so basic really is easy to verify.

Sure, but there comes a point where you either believe it, or you believe that there’s a “world government” running the shots, telling every single country to teach the same wrong scientific facts, and literally NO ONE has ever fact checked anything or been a whistle blower about it.
