Discussions on the Flat Earth Community

And if you think humans can effectively and efficiently organize a society anywhere near the complexity of what we live into today without leaders or norms I would have to say you're sadly mistaken.
"You wanna be a freedom buzzkill, then expect to be treated like an asshole" - I love how you deal with people of opposing view points. How dare I think differently than you!!

+hericles10 You can think whatever you want. I just don't have to agree with it or like it. We've had thousands of years with this ruler bullshit, I think that's plenty, thanks. The complexity is the whole problem. Sheesh...sheeple. Pffft.

No, it is about people. Although, many mammals have hierarchical social systems as well.

Yeah, gnosis like Truman in the Truman Show and Christof the Demiurge?

+Grizz Frank my point was valid and was always going to suck in the faceless potatoes, as the subject was faceless potatoes! Once it did I put them to work.

These fellow flat earthers have one message. Don't watch the popular people. The people who put their face and name (reputation) on the line. The people who took the bait don't see the need to give their name as they attempt to discredit people who do use their real name. As I said in that video, if you are being a dick from behind a veil of anonymity then people have the right to call you a coward. This "bait" was not a sex tape! It was a valid point! If you feel going after a 77 year old stroke victim or an 8 month pregnant girl is a fair reaction to my point then OK. I don't agree! My troll bait has highlighted just how evil these dickless trolls can be! Why??! Because they don't like the popular people. Not because they "spread awareness". I can call the trolls on their "drama".

Lastly I don't need your "approval" make no mistake I do exactly as I choose! Thanks for your comment. I understand where you are coming from but a have the power to do something about the trolls. So I do. :-) They throw stones from behind the bushes. I pick up rocks and throw them back from out in the open.

If people are pro-flat earthers they don't have a moral obligation of thinking highly of someone putting their "face and name (reputation) on the line", when they may have different values, thoughts and perspectives than the popular content.

In theory, it is possible someone may want more science content and less content about personality. This could be a logical reason for being against popularity itself.

Here's the thing, if flat earth is a brute fact, there is nothing about that fact which tells you what you ought to value or do. FE itself doesn't even tell you that the world is good or even real! The Truman Show is not an ideal place, Truman decides to leave the dome!

Since people will be different, there will be cliques and popularity along with in-group and out-group behaviors. Kind of like politics and power.

And people being people, there will be followers and some leaders. Those leaders will often be popular and will have more influence on a community.

Other, different people, will then try to influence the community in their direction.
