Recently I have been getting into the whole Flat Earth debate. Mainly I listen to debates while I play games and what not, but I listened to couple with the youtuber name Jeranism. He is a person who supports the flat earth, but has no actual model to defend and he has went on to say that he doesn't do research, but instead decides what is true by whatever feel rights to him.
So that brings the question does Jeranism look at the evidence in a objective manner? Which to his own admission is not the case. He looks at all the scientific evidence with a confirmation bias that a lot of other flat earthers tend to do. They already have this impossible belief that the Earth is flat so when they go look for evidence they can cherry pick what they need fit into their own world view. I have heard flat earthers deny that gravity exist, that space exist, and the globe was a lie created by NASA.
Sometimes listening to Jeranism talk reminds me of Jim Jones of Jonestown. I wasn't alive when he did his craziness, but I've listen to him in documentaries along with David Koresh of Waco. I'm getting very similar vibes in their speeches and it's kind of scary that people can get caught up in this nonsense. Has anyone else notice this or am I just being paranoid?
