(My friend said I watchef hentai to my entire lunch table and they wouldnt shut up for days about it, they got bored of it after a week or two)

Watched*

be confident in what you say and don't feel bad for sensitive babies, especially when you know your right. that's my philosophy anyway :))

wtf, that's so rude and evil!! the nerve of people like that.. ugh.

it's yaoi not hentai, you cheap little shits

She is the textbook definition of idiot and even conforms to the etymological meaning of the word. Revival of the flat earth theory is an internet meme embraced by conspiracy theorists, and there is a growing body of evidence that conspiracy theorists are mentally ill. They certainly qualify as delusional.

Smh can't believe the whole class tagged along with her lol your classmates are also idiots alongside her.

actually in defense of my "class" they don't know the context in which the word was said, she's is just going around telling people that i called her a derogatory word, and i think it would be petty to tell everyone that she say the earth was flat (now that would cause some real bulling lol)

i think your adding your own narrative to the situation, but that's understandable since my original post was so vague.

basically the comment was made in a private settings among a small group of friends (no classroom) we were having small talk and she chose to bring up her beliefs and insisted that we were the ones that are misguided and tried to persuaded us saying that she has done her "research"

and in regards to "post secondary" unfortunately we graduated high school in 2015 :'/ lol (i'm 19, shes 20) we're currently in what Jamaicans would call pre-university (whiiiiiich is basically high school to prove that your ready for collage, a waste of money imo)

PS I blame the internet.

yeah i realize that alot of people around me and on the internet are saying the earth is flat. i really would like to pick the brains of some of these individuals to see what they are thinking, or maybe they're not thinking (maybe they don't even have brains :'/)

most of the people who understood the situation, who were siding with her, said that it was her opinion! and i should respect it! (well some of them actually believed in the flat earth theory since its "cool" to go against societal norms and "stand out")

i don't know when science became an opinion (i always thought it was "facts and evidence vs facts and evidence" not "my feelings this and my emotions that") its very depressing to think that these students are the future... and we're all biology students. SAD

Conspiracy theories offer apparently clear and relatively simple answers in contrast to explanations which might entail loose ends, questions, nuances, and in the case of science, objective and empirical (comprehensive and measurable data that produces a pattern of consistent results an overwhelming majority of times, if not every time) evidence over that of personal perception or, in the case of flat Earth hypothesis, flawed, cherry-picked and inconsistent observation. That is a whole mouthful of explanation for people, often sincere and well meaning, who want and have a psychiatric need for simple and clear answers.

According to David Livingstone Smith, PhD, Philosophy, and cofounder and director of the Institute for Cognitive Science and Evolutionary Psychology at the University of New England (Maine), who has made a study of the human capacity for self-deceit and conspiracy theory, "Being certain, even of something which is very terrible and very frightening, may be psychologically preferable to many people than being in doubt, than being uncertain, because if you're uncertain, you're suspended. You don't know what stance to take."

IE., how can you know what choices and decisions to make if you don't have all the facts in front of you? How can you hold leaders to account if they don't have enough information? How comfortable can you be with your knowledge of good vs. evil/right vs. wrong, if terrible events and accidents are mostly random? Or how can you feel comfortable with accepting consequences or, conversely, consigning blame in a clear act of judgment?

James Meigs, editor of Popular Mechanics magazine (which has been at the forefront of debunking the "9/11 Inside Job" Conspiracies), finds it ironic that conspiracy theorists usually consider themselves to be very skeptical, when they tend to be the least skeptical of all. "They will believe anything they read, as long as they already agree with it."

In "Conspiracy Rising", Andy Blicq's documentary on the mindset of those who are vulnerable to delusion, Meigs procedes to explain that conspiracy theorists are less concerned with finding evidence than ignoring or minimalizing anything that does not fit their hypothesis.

The internet accelerates the power of the delusion through the force of repetition. If something is repeated often enough, it acquires an appearance of truth because it mimics consistent, observable data. Amplification by internet meme, however, is not an accurate sample or anything resembling empirical evidence. It is the means by which bots, paid political trolls and provocateurs spread lies or establish capital.

Lolol you're not a bully for something that little

Ferdinand Magellan and Juan Sebastián Elcano proved that the Earth was spherical by circumnavigating the globe in 1519, but the data was observed as early as ancient Greece.

A proven hypothesis is a theory. There is no such thing, in the scientific community, as an unproven theory. There is no such thing as a Flat Earth theory. There is a Flat Earth delusion.

According to Livingstone, most conspiracy theorists have the mentality of "ThisI believe this and will not see or acknowlege which challenges thi

Sorry, the motherboard on this computer is old.

According to Livingstone, most conspiracy theorists have the mentality of "This feels right to me and aligns most closely with my personal beliefs and observations, hence I will not see or acknowledge any evidence to the contrary."

There is a physiological pay-off to belief in conspiracies, a release of a cocktail of hormones like serotonin and dopamine which produce feelings of well being and invincibility, and are highly addictive. Ergo, belief in conspiracy theories is about somatic feelings and tends to be addictive.

This is not to negate the important and powerful role of faith in matters concerning nurturing, joy and creative expression, just to eliminate it from the realm of natural physics, where it skews results.

i see, your really well read on this topic, i was only ever able to watch a couple youtube video made by Conspiracy theories before i lost hope in humanity ha ha

thanks for the info and taking the time, well appreciated

My interest in evolutionary psychology is limited by a number of factors, not the least of which is the appropriation of the field by authoritarian nationalists like the fascist groups that now call themselves the alt-Right (because nobody would take them seriously without a re-brand.) Social Darwinianism is insupportable. I don't support everything Livingstone, or his friend Schumer at Skeptic magazine, writes.

That said, conspiracy theorists can be found in every spectrum of society. They are not defined by politics, religion, race, culture, economic background or education, although they do tend to perceive themselves as outsiders, nonconformists and disenfranchised/powerless.

The sad thing is, I read even if I have exams. More like, I read more to escape the stress but then i get stressed bec I wasted my time huhuhu

once my attention focused on yaoi, i can never go back at studying. fml
