When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.
@jascha Scientists probably don't want you to listen to flat earth no-vaccines guy, but that's because someone did the debunking 50 years ago back when that seemed worth doing.
@RogerBW @jascha
Scientists don't want to bother debunking Flat Earth because someone already did that with a stick thousands of years ago

@anatomical_normalcy @RogerBW @jascha you don't need to debunk flat earth. It's perfectly fine, you'll just have to deal with a horrible geometry and a lot of additional assumptions to compensate for your shitty model 🧚

Aaand: as a local approximation it's killer :)

@gsc @anatomical_normalcy @RogerBW @jascha When I was at uni I joked about forming the locally flat earth society 

@unionwhore @gsc @anatomical_normalcy @RogerBW @jascha

Presumably as opposed to the Globally Flat Earth Society

...wait
