My apologies, I was quoting the figure "by December 2014, over 2,300 architectural and engineering professionals had signed the petition" and it states "According to the organization, the identities and qualifications of all licensed architects and engineers whose names are being published on its website as well as those of other supporters who are listed separately are subjected to verification before acceptance".
Usually Wikipedia is actually quite harsh on conspiracy theories. For example the Flat Earth article's 7th word is "archaic" (it begins "The flat Earth model is an archaic conception of Earth's shape as a plane or disk".) The final paragraph of the lead states "In the modern era, pseudoscientific flat Earth theories have been espoused". (The flat Earth theory has vigorous, albeit often troll, online defenders.)
So this explains my reaction - from the way the article was written I had thought thousands of architects and structural engineers thought there was massive evidence of a controlled demolition.
You may check out your cousin comment for a reply from someone who has looked into this quite a bit I think. That person (tedivm) seems to think it's a pretty massive waste of time so hopefully this thread won't include much more of it. Sorry to waste your time if this was the case, and thanks for your reply. :)
- chronolitus 9y agoI'm not either way invested in this, and can not contribute much to the conversation. However, a certain pattern strikes me in the way you are dealing with this conversation, which I've seen before and for personal reasons touches me. First, I appreciate your politeness and structured responses. It would seem so natural that everyone argue in this manner and yet I find it rare enough that it deserves appreciation. So for the personal reasons mentioned above, I wanted to ask you this, and you are in no way obligated to answer: - Do you think most people in this thread are delusional and/or refuse to see a truth which seems painfully obvious? - Do you sometimes feel this way about people in the real world/other subjects? Often? Always? - As a thought experiment: if it turned out that masses of people were, as a rule, not ignorant but instead wise, would that impact the way you see yourself? - Would finding out the truth be equally satisfying for you regardless of what the truth turns out to be? - Do you find yourself wanting certain statements to turn out to be true? - Can you identify why? In any case, I wish you the best of luck with your search.
