1/2

At this point civilization is just an all encompassing feedback loop, you could put in a 1000 unabombers and still the system will auto correct, its built like that, maybe memes can change the trajectory/vector but not by much, the true redpill is that we are all passengers on this train and theres no stopping it, what people call progress is just the train moving along the rails.

Hear me out, im not a flat earther, it doesnt matter if i was though.

Why do these people hate flat earth so much? Especially PHDs and other ego maniacs who have the most to lose when their worldview collapses? Because their whole self image is built upon being smarter than the next guy, being in line with the "experts" or even considering themselves an expert.

The shape of the earth doesnt even matter, its just a metaphysical transmutation that your ego undergoes.
First comes the humiliation, understanding that you know nothing, this is where those "smart" people break down, they seethe and cope and return to their comfy expert opinions.
Real intelligent people will let their ego be broken, accept they know nothing, not even the shape of the earth is known for sure, thats the second step acceptance. The final step is freedom, your ego reborn, you are now free, the ridicule and humiliation doesnt phase you anymore because you know that its all fake and gay ment to control the masses and keep the train on the rails.
Whatever the truth is, you dont really know, but you are free now and can see that.
This is the 21st century philosophers stone, turning lead into gold. And the flat earth theory is just an initiation ritual, again it doesnt even matter if you believe it or not thats besides the point, the point is it will break your ego and make you free, or you will stay a slave and cope and seethe at the mere mention of something outside your established belief system, failing the first step and remaining a slave to your own ego, never progressing past the NPC stage.
