If you watched the video, then you will retract what you said about him being a fraud.
I already explained how this experiment you want me to do will prove nothing. If the earth can be shown to not have the curvature NASA says it does, then it matters little what is up in the sky. That is why I keep coming back to it and pressuring you to answer questions on it. And that is why you keep ignoring it.
And that is why you are clogging up the thread with such long posts - to distract.
By the way, I had a look at the video you posted "proving the earth is not flat". Most of these guys objections have been answered by intelligent flat earthers. But there were some sligtly new ones. His claim about the curvature of the earth is flat out wrong. There is a huge difference between two points 100 miles apart in the horizon. Look it up yourself and see.
Secondly the objection about the orange is ridiculous. A sphere by definition is a 3dimensional circle. So of course you would see a curve. His video even shows us cutting of the orange and having us place ourselves on the flat part of the orange. But we don't do that if we are on a ball! He asks us if we understand. Of course not! He's talking rubbish.
He talks about perspective and criticises the guy for saying that his sun is always the same size. But they guy was using a cartoon as an ILLUSTRATION. We know from common sense observation that the sun changes size (as we look at it.)
I watched the video and he is a fraud. Why should I retract the truth? I have known professional navigators myself and they just laugh at frauds like that. Wake up!
So you refuse to make a simple observation, and the reason must be because you don't want to know the truth. I see very well, thank you. You say that what is visible to us up in the sky doesn't matter. Your words speak for themselves.
I am ignoring nothing. I look to the sky and see what I see and comment on it and you can't stand to hear about it because the truth is not in you.
The long posts I made above are for those who want to know, and apparently that's not you.

I have yet to see any "intelligent flat earthers" -- their words contradict themselves again and again, and they, like you, refuse to look in the sky and see what they see and recognize their ideas are all nonsense when compared to what is actually visible in the sky.

No, the sun does not change size as we look at it. (There are times when earth is closer or further away from the sun but the size of the sun is affected so minimally that the difference in apparent size is not even measurable without sophisticated equipment.) There are times when the sun is near the horizon, low in the sky, when distortion makes it appear larger as so does the moon at times, but notice those are when the sun ought to appear SMALLER if it were further away like flat-earthers claim it is (only 3,000 miles high, etc.). So that only further HURTS your incorrect perception of reality.
It's interesting to me that there are people alive today who continue to disregard the simple observations we can all make in the sky to demonstrate the fact that the earth is not flat but a spheroid. It has been helpful to me to have these conversations online because now I know what is happening, and it is the same kind of thing that happened in the Church when modern philosophers attacked the foundations of correct thinking.
Flat-earthers don't care what is visible in the sky because they only see what they WANT to see, since it is their flatness paradigm that is to them a false god which they must protect at all costs. For them, reality is in the mind, just as it was for Karl Marx and Charles Darwin and Immanuel Kant. If they don't like what someone says, they simply
deny the reality like the Irish Protestant "bishop" Berkeley did.
There is nothing new under the sun.
