But if you do not believe in a globe how do you understand projections?
- madcaptenor 2mo agoWell, they wouldn't call it a "projection", but whatever drawing of the map they use.
- 1718627440 2mo agoYeah, but how do they explain, that the same world looks different, e.g. having different distances and angles depending on the map "type"? This is kind of important for traveling, navigating or measuring the size of the property you own.
- phinnaeus 2mo agoThey’re flat earthers, they either have no explanation or a completely bogus explanation. Certainly don’t look for any semblance of reason. They just invent whatever to try and feel like they have some secret knowledge.
- 1718627440 2mo agoI'm just curious. I think they still believe to have a consistent worldview themself, as every human does. My question was more regarding their self-understanding and less the kind-of "marketing" they throw at outsiders.
