ok - genuine question what percentage of flat-earthers do you think are either 1) just having fun with an intellectual challenge of "how far can I stretch this silly concept and be sort of consistent" or 2) flat-out shitposters trolling each other, each thinking that the others are gullible morons

I think a lot of them started out as both and then trolled themselves into believing it (I think this happened with a lot of Trump memelords in 2016 too) You become what you pretend to be.

If they're otherwise rational and sane and are spouting off flat earth facts? Yeah, they're playing around. But most of them believe a whole slew of other conspiracy theories and are very vocal about them. The flat earth group I'm observing has 40k members, but only a handful post on a regular basis (maybe 20 people) , and most of them are just batshit crazy. I've looked at their public profiles where they're trying to educate the sheeple and seen some heartbreaking pleas from friends and family members.

I've been thinking I should start a kickstarter for an expedition to the ice wall to determine whether the earth is flat. I'd bring along one of their "researchers" to navigate and ensure that we're going true North and not using GPS. I could even bring along an ice wall climbing expert for when we get there. I'd even steam the whole thing so we can break the news to the world live. Of course I would only pay myself a modest salary as mission commander and would keep an open mind about our findings. All I need is a ship captain with a sense of humor.

I think you’re going to need a more clever grift than that. If any of these guys were willing to shell out significant dough for stuff like that it would have happened a decade or more ago. Maybe with some really good marketing. What’s Sandy Roberts schedule like these days?

What you really need is gofundme for either a ship with a cloaking device, or one that can travel to the ice wall spiritually and then manifest in the natural. A "ghost ship" if you will.

The funny thing about this is that without GPS you'd either have to navigate coastwise or use Celestial Navigation, which is all based on spherical trigonometry and an oblate spheroid Earth.

Michelson-Morley proves that the Earth is not moving relative to the medium through which light propagates. Since it would be ridiculous to assert that the Earth is the only object in the universe that is at rest relative to the aether, instead it is taken as evidence that there is no aether.

Believing that lumiferous æther exists is about as dumb as believing in spontaneously generation (e.g. flies don’t lay eggs; raw steaks just turn into maggots given enough time). It’s not just that one big experiment disproved it. There are mountains of things developed since then that are incompatible with the theory. It’s just that no one writes breathless headlines about the lumiferous æther being disproven yet again, because duh, every serious person had already abandoned it.

Well of course the government funded scientists being paid to cover up the æther are going to tell you it doesn't exist

He says it proves the existence of the Aether and that the Earth doesn't move, but Wikipedia says it DISPROVES the Aether and says nothing about a stationary Earth. Michelson-Morley showed one of two things. Either the Earth is always at rest with respect to the æther or the æther does not exist. Since 19th century people already knew thanks to astronomy that the Earth is spinning and circling the sun, the conclusion they came to is that there was no æther. (This conclusion eventually lead to the Theory of Relativity which has been confirmed by a bunch of experiments since then). But if you wanted you could interpret the experiment the stupid way as proof that Earth is stationary.

All of these quotes on quora are pretty hilarious misquotes and the experiment had absolutely nothing to do with trying to prove or disprove geocentrism. They are basically doing this RatHat posted:... it proves ... that the Earth doesn't move, ... and ... a stationary Earth.

Raspberry Jam It In Me posted:All of these quotes on quora are pretty hilarious misquotes and the experiment had absolutely nothing to do with trying to prove or disprove geocentrism. Yesssss but only because there was so much evidence against geocentrism by that point that no one would have interpreted any result as confirming geocentrism. When the experiment got a null result over and over and over, people were astonished because no one even thought that would happen, which is why they had to conclude there's no æther and no absolute universal frame of rest and you can't catch up with a light beam because that's the only other explanation for the results. That experiment threw physics into chaos for decades because it overturned everyone's basic assumptions about how the universe works. If there hadn't been that body of evidence against geocentrism then a stationary earth would be the more reasonable interpretation. Like if the Ancient Greeks had thought of this experiment when they were having the geocentrism/heliocentrism debate it would have been considered a slam dunk for geocentrism, just like so many other observations were. E: to be clear, this is probably a practical impossibility since the theories of optics and glasswork technology required to think of and construct Michelson-Morley in the first place are more advanced than what you need to disprove geocentrism by astronomical observation. Just saying though that if in some bizarre alternate history the geocentrism/heliocentrism debate hadn't been resolved by the 1880s then conceivably people could have thought of this experiment to "prove" that Earth is at rest.

In the early days of Qanon, when a lot of Infowars-adjacent internet "skeptics" were heavily involved, that's what the working theory was. They rejected any supernatural explanations, but they assumed that The Cabal thought that their child-sacrificing black masses gave them power, so it's still bad! But, by this point in the conspiracy's life cycle, most people who still buy into it wholly believe that leftists are given power directly by Satan via child sacrifices, in order to fuel their dark magicks and usher in the literal Biblical end-times.
