90% of Ladislaus' post (above) is COMMON SENSE. It's not opinion, it doesn't need references, because it's stating facts that you can observe for yourself, think about with your own brain, apply common sense, etc.

... that is, at least for those who can still think for themselves, and escape the powerful brainwashing they have received.

Oh, let me guess -- you don't believe they could brainwash you for some reason? Either because you're so smart/special, or because they have no such power to brainwash?

NO, and NO.

They most certainly can brainwash us, they have it down to a science by now. As for you not being special or "above" brainwashing, that isn't intended as an insult to you; I was brainwashed to believe in the globe as well. As I've said many times recently, every "Flat earther" or "flerf" (derogatory term) was ONCE A BELIEVER IN THE GLOBE, JUST AS YOU.

Those who accept that the earth is not a globe come from *all* walks of life. And there are plenty of hi-IQ individuals as well among them -- including many whose IQ is higher than yours. Just remember that.

Ezekiel 1
22 And over the heads of the living creatures was the likeness of the firmament, as the appearance of crystal terrible to behold, and stretched out over their heads above.  23 And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other, every one with two wings covered his body, and the other was covered in like manner.  24 And I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of many waters, as it were the voice of the most high God: when they walked, it was like the voice of a multitude, like the noise of an army, and when they stood, their wings were let down.  25 For when a voice came from above the firmament, that was over their heads, they stood, and let down their wings.

 26 And above the firmament that was over their heads, was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of the sapphire stone, and upon the likeness of the throne, was a likeness as of the appearance of a man above upon it.  27 And I saw as it were the resemblance of amber as the appearance of fire within it round about: from his loins and upward, and from his loins downward, I saw as it were the resemblance of fire shining round about.  28 As the appearance of the rainbow when it is in a cloud on a rainy day: this was the appearance of the brightness round about.

Ezekiel 2
 1 This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw, and I fell upon my face, and I heard the voice of one that spoke. And he said to me: Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee.  2 And the spirit entered into me after that he spoke to me, and he set me upon my feet: and I heard him speaking to me,  3 And saying: Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious people, that hath revolted from me, they, and their fathers, have transgressed my covenant even unto this day.  4 And they to whom I send thee are children of a hard face, and of an obstinate heart: and thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God:  5 If so be they at least will hear, and if so be they will forbear, for they are a provoking house: and they shall know that there hath been a prophet in the midst of them.

Can you give an example of that?

This guy.

I'd also add Dr. John D, who has a Ph.D. in spectrometry ... who has conducted meticulous scientific experiments and has concluded from them that the earth is flat, and JTolen, who used to work for NASA building satellites, who's taken all the infrared photographs and put them together in photogrammetry software that clearly showed the surface to be flat.  There have been former F-16 pilots and many other pilots, US submarine operators, and all manner of professionals with high IQ in their respective fields.  There was one guy whose job it was in the armed forces to calculate the trajectories of projectiles who has calculated that the earth is flat.

But you say satellites are fake, and now we are supposed to believe they prove FE?

This guy.

What's his IQ?
