Ya, my bad. The shaq comment was a little low, you had better reasoning than he did for sure, but still not proof of anything in my opinion.
Understanding things like
“Gravity is a matter of experience, but works as a given because we have no real explanation for why such a force would exist.”
Is an intelligent way to think about these things.
Staying open minded in these discussions is difficult when we’ve been taught one paradigm our whole lives & taught to mock “flat earthers” via media & school.
The discussion ends up being a tool of division most of the time. Personally, I try to stay open minded & open to new information. I surely do not know everything & our collective knowledge of physics & reality will surely change within my lifetime, perhaps in a completely different direction I’m not even capable of imagining.
