What was your "redpill" moment per se on the matter? You and I align on some theories that no one else seems to either have done the resesrch on or buy here.

My ultimate "redpill" moment has been considering the globe earth math when looking at the horizon and the fact that buildings never lean away from each other as they "go over the curve".

The GE math is crazy ridiculous! It's hard to believe that anyone actually believes it. ???

I don't think many people have actually taken the time to contemplate it very deeply.

Anyway, I feel like there is a kind of spellcasting to GE and that completely broke the spell. (And considering the Kabbalist origins of the Big Bang which is the Ein Sof and NASA etc. I do mean spell!)

I'm starting another thread on that one aspect (Globe Earth math) of the discussion alone.

GE discussions are often like explaining apologetics to a Protestant. Instead of staying focused on one topic, it goes to another and to another.... :)

Just from independent observations I can't accept FE. If anyone can explain how Starlink works on FE (with a working latency model that reflects user's pings IRL), how NVIS works with FE, some specifics about weather modeling (not going to self dox so we can discard this particular one ) I would be happy with the FE position. I'd gladly defend FE vs GEers because the smugness and condecension of GEers I don't like. Since nobody is able to explain these things to me in multiple threads on here (DL even asked on some other sites for me and wasn't able to get answers) I can't consider the position beyond being possible but not definitively true. Note I am only interested in testable hypotheses... No NASA, no space pics, no trickery, no weird sunsets or objects disappearing in certain parts of the globe or horizon analysis. I can only defend what I can observe.

This guy isn't a FEarther, but he excoriates StarLink as a fraud

Here is an interesting site that gives a basic explanation of Aristotle's ideas on FE vs. GE:

Here is another interesting article explaining more of the mathematical calculations of Aristotle and such people (the math of which is beyond me). 😅
