Humour this retard for a moment. Let’s assume everything you’ve just said is correct, I haven’t tried to answer any questions, I’m just hiding behind maths and I’m just parroting what the government tells me. I need help to escape the cult I’m in. I’m not inclined to leave because someone calls me a retard but maybe if you could answer the question below in terms simple enough for this retard to understand I might start thinking more deeply about my world view and the foundations on which it is built. Why was the consensus of the earth being a globe prevalent for the last 4000 years in the absence of the US government’s intervention in the conversation? If you can manage it please try and answer without calling me a retard again.
