For shits and giggles I watch a lot of flat earth videos. It is astounding to see how far down the rabbit hole some of these people go. Such crazy assumptions and random connections lol. I've gotta be careful though, I think I'm starting to self-indoctrinate. Some of the points they make man...especially about ancient history. IDK man!

What's crazy (pun intended) is how much thought they put into developing the models. Some of them clearly require some form of intelligence to work out.
But they just can't see the holes. Some kind of mental/intellectual filter is at play.

Watching something like that happen, where a very intelligent person gets caught in a spiral, terrifies me. It makes me question my own sanity, like how the fuck do I know that I haven't fallen into the same trap? I'm really glad I was exposed to Robert Anton Wilson and his "non-belief" system of constantly adjusting your perspective.
