  If a flat earther becomes POTUS and attempts to implement policies to legitimize flat earth, it’s not a waste of resources to use NASA to deny the President’s claims.

    True.

    I’m just pointing out Canadian scientists are using time for it, when ideally shit like this should be handled by the country itself.

    It’s not about the science. They don’t believe in it and never have. Remember the Flat Earthers proved themselves wrong and still didn’t believe it.

    So it’s more to due with the psychologists and whatnot.

    The higher, pretentious form of stupidity stands only too often in crass opposition to [its] honorable form. It is not so much lack of intel gence as failure of intelligence, for the reason that it presumes to accomplishments to which it has no right … The stupidity this address is no mental illness, yet it is most lethal; a dangerous disease of the mind that endangers life itself… [S]ince the ‘higher stupidity’ consist not in an inability to understand but in a refusal to understand, any healing or reversal of it will not occur through rational argumentatio through a greater accumulation of data and knowledge, or through experiencing new and different feelings … We may say that the reve of a spiritual sickness must entail a spiritual cure.
