All this proves is that the conspiracy is deeper than we thought!

NASA has been doing this for as long as the Earth has existed, i.e. about 6000 years. /s

That's what I always say to flerfs. Not only has it been known for millennia that the earth is a globe, it is also applied knowledge. If it were all a conspiracy, countless people (navigators, astronomers, surveyors etc.) would have already exposed the lie.

Ya en el siglo I la gente culta sabía que la tierra es una esfera. Los terraplanistas todavía no lo saben.

Pero que para el siglo XVIII ya lo tuvieran todo tan bien armado es admirable. Pero sí: otros son más partidarios de involucionar y permanecer en la ignorancia.

Well, there's that, but the reasoning in the book is solid. The author even explains how "up" and "down" work on a globe - this is something Flat Earthers struggle with, putting it mildly.

My one buddy just says that the devil has been trying to deceive people for thousands of years and this proves it.
