The Earth Is Flat, Intellectuals Weep

[whodathunkit]

If we all quit posting here the thread will likely sink to the bottom of the queue like a turd that's finally taken on too much water in the bowl.

On general principle I'm not a big fan of disappearing things down the memory hole, no matter how deplorable the content. Memory hole is creepy. And at any rate there are some interesting comments here even if the beginning of the thread is...questionable, shall we say.

I've put an email together to finally settle this...

Dear Ray Peat,

Is the earth flat?

Regards,

The Ray Peat Forum.

Did you actually email and ask him? I'm so curious as to how he would respond to a question like this

There is no "Ray Peat". What everyone thinks of as RP is a person or group of persons running a long con. Grandmaster trolling, and everyone fell for it. The picture or videos you see is a paid actor to pose as RP. Same with the voice actor on the radio shows. When you email "Ray Peat", the computer searches for key words (coconut oil, weight loss, cyproheptadine, etc) and replies with a standard text and throw in the appropriate studies at the bottom. Why? Maybe for the fun of getting people to eat tons of sugar, take LSD and to further along the well known conspiracy to bankrupt Georgia peanut farmers and rapeseed farms.

This symbolises what'ts wrong with our world today.
I do want a 10 million dollar home, a garage full of cars, a cook, a driver, a maid and a dedicated team of courtesans but the reality is a much simpler life, in a society that is respectful of its people and the environment, where urbanisation is integrated with nature, where the food is good and the air is clean, where friends and family are always around, and there'd plenty of time to discover life, is much more fulfilling

What will really be wrong when people's expectations are not met, when they realise they are the maid in the house for some rich dude and for that rich dude to be their he needs to walk all over them under the guise of I'm harder working,more intellegent and generally better, capitalism where everybody is convinced they can win until they start running out of biological energy from stress just like a casino when you know you can win but then start running out money.......

The panic button seems to be about age 31 for most these days.

Yes, family and sincere love trump all the above,good people who have wealth know this well.

You lie!!!!! I met Ray Peat at a very secret location ( i cant disclose) recently. Needless to say there were many other top illuminati and lizards there and me ( i had the best metabolism as it was pretty overcast and cloudy and they just couldnt warm up).

lmao I love this subject because it exposes how brainwashed people are.

If you believe you're on a spinning ball, the only reason you believe that is because you've been told you are, repeatedly, since birth.

@FlatEarth If I we're to believe you... how different would it be?

But most importantly, where are the edges and can we fall out of earth?

the only reason you believe that you are on a flat earth is because its cool to be a contrarian.

Found this....

What does the earth look like? How is circumnavigation possible?
As seen in the diagrams above, the earth is in the form of a disk with the North Pole in the center and Antarctica as a wall around the edge. This is the generally accepted model among members of the society. In this model, circumnavigation is performed by moving in a great circle around the North Pole.

The earth is surrounded on all sides by an ice wall that holds the oceans back. This ice wall is what explorers have named Antarctica. Beyond the ice wall is a topic of great interest to the Flat Earth Society. To our knowledge, no one has been very far past the ice wall and returned to tell of their journey. What we do know is that it encircles the earth and serves to hold in our oceans and helps protect us from whatever lies beyond.

Here is picture of a proposed, but certainly not definitive, flat earth.

Thanks!!! That's all it took... I'm convinced :)

 

[Simonsays]

Why doesn't gravity pull the earth into a spherical shape?

The earth isn't pulled into a sphere because the force known as gravity doesn't exist

moving on.....

"....or at least exists in a greatly diminished form than is commonly taught."

They also drive on the wrong side of the road. Could it be a coincidence.
Their side of the disc spins the other way around, probably.
In the spirit of this thread...

This has been entertaining! Im going with this is an experiment to see how gullible people are.

Wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall in the schools with all the people developing shipping and flight routes and GPS software etc where you can learn the special maths and physics? Wonder if their curriculum includes extreme marketing? And a special theory of the fourth dimension that accommodates the travel times?
Wonder if all the accountants and auditors who have their eyes on the fuel costs have to take papers on this so they don't accidentally expose the whole thing?
The school entrance committee must bite their nails at every new intake of students, hoping they haven't accidentally let in one who will spill the beans.
Bet they all chuckle together at parties about how they've kept the wool over our eyes for so long.
Do you think Einstein was deliberately obfuscating when he referred to euclidian geometry applying reasonably well where gravitational forces are weak?

Turtles?

'nelephants?

BTW, anyone got an idea of how deep it is and what keeps the atmosphere from drifting off?

Right- and left-hand traffic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Safety aspects
Research in 1969 by J. J. Leeming showed that countries driving on the left have a lower collision rate than countries driving on the right, although he acknowledged that the sample of left-hand rule countries he had to work with was small, and he was very careful not to claim that his results proved that the differences were due to the rule of the road.[33] It has been suggested that this is partly because humans are more commonly right-eye dominant than left-eye dominant.[34][35][36] In left-hand traffic, the predominantly better-performing right eye is used to monitor oncoming traffic and the driver's wing mirror (side mirror). In right-hand traffic, oncoming traffic and the driver's wing mirror are handled by the predominantly weaker left eye. In addition, it has been argued that left-sided driving is safer for elderly people given the likelihood of their having visual attention deficits on the left side and the need at intersections to watch out for vehicles approaching on the nearside lane.[37] Furthermore, in an RHD car with manual transmission, the driver has the right hand, which for most people is dominant, on the steering wheel at all times and uses the left hand (and left foot) to change gears and operate most other controls.
Cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders typically mount from the left-hand side, with motorcycle side stands almost always located on the left. This places them on the kerb when driving on the left.

You belive in a flat earth because somebody told you....
Also when there is evidence to support a claim, it makes sense to believe.
