it's not that we're trying to prove it, really. and i know it comes off that way. but really, it's an existential dilemma of epic proportions, and talking about it in public is basically a cry for help (which doesn't actually work cuz people are mean). i got into this because i thought i knew a lot about things, and when i saw a thumbnail on youtube captioned "100% Proof the Earth is Flat" (or something to that effect... there are literally thousands of flat earth videos now, and i can't remember) i figured i'd watch it, and very patiently go through the motions of breaking down how wrong it was for the uploader's sake. as in, debunk it properly. but when i finished the video i realized there were huge gaps in my understanding about what earth is, and that turned into 8 months of trying really diligently to debunk the flat earth. i failed at that. i even continue to watch videos claiming to debunk it, but they fail too.
