Was he a flat-earther?

flat-earthers are the most scientific minded of them all. they do to science what science did to religion.
scientific skepticism was about questioning truths and not believing anything without empirical knowledge, and that is exactly what flat-earthers think they're doing when questioning the dogma of science and claiming that since there is no way to feel the earth's roundness through the senses, there is no reason to blindly believe it's round

I doubt it - he did seem to be very sceptical of evolution in his introductory work, I’m not sure if it was the state of the theory not being developed at that time or him being uncomfortable with the implications though

I can literally go look south and see only the top parts of exceptionally tall mountains past the horizon, on clear enough days. Once, I saw only mount rainier's tip, from over 150 miles away. Philosophy has broken your brain. Go to the real world for once, there is important information to be discovered there.

all I meant to say is that the earth's roundness isn't obvious from our perspective. if no one had ever told you about it, chances are you'd give it for granted that the earth's surface is flat and in that sense, knowing a provable scientific fact does require some sort of faith. of course there's little things that can prove earth's roundness, but fundamentally we are relying on information that comes from outside us, and if that information told us something different, we would believe that as truth - I'm sure flat-earthers have hundreds of ways to prove earth's flatness as well, just like the sun rising and setting was perfect proof of the earth being at the centre of the universe.
I'm not agreeing with them, I'm just pointing out that paradoxically, their anti-science is based on the same skepticism and physicalist empiricism that science imposed itself through

>It is for IFLS types who themselves are not very scientific minded people

Thats a problem with every popular belief set hence I dont tend to place too much weight on it, much like Cathodox who do genuinely pray to saints and treat prayers as magical spells.

>flat-earthers are fun insofar as they expose this.
For me its more the conspiracy theory and hypocrisy element which is fun.

>>14178328
To make people who question or try and reveal genuine conspiracies easy to dismiss and appear ridiculous.
