Title: The Atlantean Conspiracy
Post by: Askold on August 05, 2015, 06:03:05 am
This is another part in our long series of "things that are so stupid that no one could actually believe that."

I managed to read all the way up to this image:

Most of the site is equally stupid but in such a ways that I can't quite get what they are trying to say. "If Earth wasn't flat no train crews would be willing to run the train because would have to go uphill all the time?" They seemed to say something like that. They even have "engineers" explaining that no one ever has to take the curvature of Earth into account while designing something and claiming so is stupid because WHAHRRSRHGHASALBAE


Here is another gem:
Quote
25) If Earth and its atmosphere were constantly spinning eastwards over 1000mph, then the average commercial airliner traveling 500mph should never be able to reach its Eastward destinations before they come speeding up from behind! Likewise Westward destinations should be arrived at thrice the speed, but this is not the case.

Anyway, here is the link and a window into insane mind:

(If anyone feels like digging through it they might share some of it to CSTDT.)

Someone doesn't understand how relative motion works.

Apparently not.

If you read the page you will see that he clearly states (somewhere near point 25 if I remember correctly) that the so called "gravity" is just another hoax that has been debunked already and the evidence against it is quite clear. ...But he doesn't bother providing that evidence.

i made it to point n°44 before resigning myself to never debunk these. from 29 to 37 it was the same point repeated differently. the stupidity hurt.

I read up to 28. Half their points could just be summarised as "I don't understand gravity, Galilean relativity, or fluid friction", and most of the rest as "I really like trains".

But remember:  TIME CUBE!!
(Seriously, this reminds me so much of the Time Cube, only more coherent.)

Time Cube = the guy suffers from insanity. Atlantean Conspiracy = a stubborn refusal to abandon the viewpoints he held by the age of five.

Seems FSTDT gets a lot of quotes from a guy named David Chase Taylor who believes Rome is actually in Greenland, that the Swiss rule the world through their agency the CIA, and something about false flags.

I also recall him ranting about Atlantis at least once.
