 It's funny. You believe the people that wrote the history and wanna keep you enslaved, that's pretty funny.

 Listen kid. I know its all fake and gay. They shutdown the world a couple of years ago, put people out of work, destroyed lives.That was done directly to them and people still wont fight back. So what does it matter flat or round?

 The truth, definitive truth is a hard one because it appears from extensive studies that we create our own reality as a coping mechanism. 

Even if we completely dismiss any scientific study, just look around. We say it out loud all the time ..in my view.  

Visitors to my area see beautiful olive trees on immaculate ochre terracing. From my perspective, I see an eco disaster of unfathomable proportions. Probably the "truth" is somewhere in the middle but neither view is wrong.

 I certainly don't believe the seafarer who still hasn't fallen off the edge of the disc, no. I suppose the earth could be a disc that is permanently going downhill, which is one way of interpreting the view from an aeroplane.
