CNN has a video piece on Flat Earth belief with Kelly Weill<\/strong><\/a>, which she says is \u201calmost like a religion in its totality; if you believe it, you have a whole new worldview.\u201d And she says:<\/p>\n

There is no inherent reason there should be so many Flat Earth Nazis, and yet, there are a lot of Flat Earth Nazis.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Except there is<\/strong>. The enemies of the Nazis – that is, just about everyone in the civilized world – happen to use science against the Nazis, not only to destroy their war machine, but, more importantly, to destroy them philosophically<\/em>, from their excuse of eugenics, which has been discredited, to their mystical belief in the “Aryan race” and, contrariwise, their anti-semitic beliefs.<\/p>\n

All of which is, to be polite, inconsistent with science<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Wildly so, for those of us who are less bashful.<\/p>\n

In order to discredit these arguments, one has to start somewhere, and falsifying the proof of a spherical (oblately, if you will) Earth would then put doubt into the minds of science-believers, or at least so the mystically-inclined Nazis would like to think. From there you discredit the rest of the evil secular science, and prove “Nazi science.” And, if the flat-Earth paradigm were to be proven true, the Nazis who led the way would have a barge full of social prestige coming their way.<\/p>\n

And, if you’re a Nazi, why not take a shot? It’s not like you have even an outside shot at getting any social prestige anyways, between the way society generally tilts and your limited IQ.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
