Stop pretending that I "need to understand flat Earth." It doesn't exist. What I understand is the world as it actually exists, and every single time you post another "proof" of a flat Earth, I tear it apart, explaining exactly why it, like every proof before it, is wrong.
it's hard to understand where card is coming from.... often peoples psychosis and delusions are a result of their environment... maybe cards family are those types that say the government is always lying to everyone, and that NASA and scientists are going to hell because they don't believe in the same god as them.....
maybe cards family instilled the fear of government in him at a very young age.... perhaps even younger than when we all learned the earth was sphere, and that caused a paranoid delusion to develop which skewed his understanding of how science works.... you see when a young person is given the choice between believing what their parents believe, or a strangers belief, well they would most likely choose to believe their parents mistakes... because they might feel their parents will be mad at them for disagreeing with them.....
so if anything, maybe cards pathological need to earn his parents approval has caused a complete disassociation to scientific method and a constant need to defend his parents beliefs to everyone who disagrees with them?
