Part 3/14:
Transitioning from cosmic catastrophes, the conversation shifts to contemporary myths like the flat Earth theory. The speaker critiques flat earthers as individuals often possessing discipline in unrelated areas, such as martial arts, yet displaying a striking lack of scientific understanding. They argue that the overwhelming evidence — from melted rocks to satellite technology — disproves the flat Earth hypothesis. The speaker emphasizes that trust in technology, such as GPS in smartphones, aligns with scientific consensus, further invalidating flat Earth claims. They suggest that most flat earthers are deeply committed to their beliefs, having "gotten married" to the idea, and often lacking scientific literacy, which fuels their resistance to facts.
