I was searching some video about how is Earth moving in respect to Sun and stars and I found some amazing video with very detailed animation on youtube, but I was shocked by the number of people in discussion, who were promoting Flat Earth theory. It was like 50% of people in discussion were supporting it. And the discussion got very aggressive, because all reasonable arguments were dismissed and questions like „Where is the edge of Earth then?“ were ignored.
I dont believe that such percentage of people have some mental illness, so it seems that major part of these people were mentally healthy and not mentally retarded. It is kind of scary trend with rapidly growing number of people who have such „anti-establishment“ and anti-scientific attitude. But if this trend will continue, in 30 years we will see the rise of Idiocracy, like pictured in prophetic movie from 2006.
Maybe it is partially caused also by the scientific establishment, which is living like in ivory tower and acting with arogance toward "underhumans" who have no PhD in physics, dismissing possible reasonable discussion.
What do you think about it?
