So you're just going to dodge the giant hole I once again blew in your argument

There's one problem with the convergence and perspective argument as per the Flat earth model you proposed :
The sun does not appear to get smaller as it appears to set below the horizon or moves further away from you out of your line of sight


there is no problem, except your misunderstanding of the law of perspective and convergence.



watch the entire vid if possible, but skip to 4:23 if necessary. He is explaining it as clearly as you possibly can.
the sun is 3000 miles away (at noon, above you), but everything gets modified in your human view and squeezed into the perspective u see, so it appears as though the sun is only approx 3 miles away (the limit of our vision)
if you try to move closer to the sun, ONLY your perspective changes, it will still appear to be approx 3 miles away (the limit of our vision) even though it may now be only 2800 miles away or how ever close u got to it.

Is 3 miles an example/approximation or is it a definite number you would claim is the farthest a human can see?

LOOOOOOL! What a fucking moron in the video! "Perspective convergence!"

Get this. Objects further away disappear only from the bottom. By such stupid logic, I could stand on the shoreline on my head and watch things reappear.

You can't make this shit uo, people.
