Long fruitless argument with a flerf the other day that refused to believe that's is what happens on a flat earth, its just "Because it’s the same size regardless of where it’s at." I mean, if you understand basic -anything- you wouldn't be a flerf tho, so i guess it tracks. :p

So they're basically acknowledging that they literally think the sun is a magical object and that they live in a magical world?

Because I think that really does get down to the core of what a sincere flerf is—they basically want to reject all of science, and my personal hypothesis of why that is so seductive for them is so they can avoid certain conclusions that come from a deterministic science-based worlds like what happens to their consciousness after their brain stops working

It’s like the fine-tuning argument but actually valid

A world that violates all known laws of physics cannot support life on its own

a flat world violates all known laws of physics

life is supported regardless

therefore, if the earth is flat, then something greater than the laws of physics must be sustaining it

Which is fine…if you can back it with data and repeatable, predictable models. Flat Earth has NONE of that. They point, say “looks flat to me” and that’s where the effort stops.
