Flat Earth people

I finally figured out the reason they persist and spread.
Flat Earthists emit refined 'blind faith' and strong emotions when their beliefs are challenged. Both of these are forms of loosh(aka lulz,emotional energy) to feed trans-dimensional aliens that secretly control all bio-life on Earth. Deeply Religious beliefs are persisting the same way: Flat Earth is a new religion for a more secular society.

"I think therefore I am" is a false statement. Only idiots hail it as some cornerstone of philosophy.

Descartes supposed himself to have touched bed-rock with his “Cogito,” “ergo Sum.”
Huxley pointed out the complex nature of this proposition, and that it was an enthymeme with the premiss “Omnes sunt, qui cogitant” suppressed. He reduced it to “Cogito;” or, to avoid the assumption of an ego, “Cogitatur.”
Examining more closely this statement, we may still cavil at its form. We cannot translate it into English without the use of the verb to be, so, that, after all, existence is implied. Nor do we readily conceive that contemptuous silence is sufficient answer of the further query, “By whom is it thought?” The Buddhist may find it easy to image an act without an agent; I am not so clever. It may be possible for a sane man; but I should like to know more about his mind before I gave a final opinion.
But apart from purely formal objections, we may still inquire: Is this “Cogitatur” true?
Yes; reply the sages; for to deny it implies thought; “Negatur” is only a sub-section of “Cogitatur”.
This involves, however, an axiom that the part is of the same nature as the whole; or (at the very least) an axiom that “A” is “A”.
Now, I do not wish to deny that “A” is “A”, or may occasionally be “A”. But certainly “A is A” is a very different statement to our original “Cogitatur”.
The proof of “Cogitatur”, in short, rests not upon itself but upon the validity of our logic; and if by logic we mean (as we should mean) the Code of the Laws of Thought, the irritating sceptic will have many more remarks to make: for it now appears that the proof that “thought exists” depends upon the truth of that which is thought, to say no more.
We have taken “Cogitatur”, to try and avoid the use of “esse;” but “A is A” involves that very idea, and the proof is fatally flawed.
“Cogitatur” depends on “Est;” and there's no avoiding it.
