Debra AI Prediction
Arguments
1.) “is that no one on his list is “connected to the flat earth dichotomy”, so there’s no need for them to lie.”
“Except in your case, none of your examples have even been shown to be remotely connected to the spherical earth/flat Earth dichotomy in any way."
These are literally the same thing, you cretin.
You appear to be arguing that I am mischaracterizing your argument by accurately characterizing what you said.
That is obviously ridiculous. And thus your claim here is demonstrably false
2.) SGN created a list of groups that must be lying.
You started off by saying that they are unconnected to the flat earth conspiracy (despite that being laughable considering that your first post on this thread ties at least two of those things on his list)
Your new argument is along the lines of “well are you saying individuals don’t lie for their job?”
This argument is either saying that SGN position is wrong because it’s reasonable to conclude all those individuals do lie - or it is not an argument against what he said and can be dismisssed as an irrelevancy red herring. That’s literally the reasonable only way to take what you said.
Normally, a regular person would clarify what they meant if someone misunderstood before degenerating into accusations and name calling, but for some odd reason you didn’t do that. I can’t think why.
As you’ve now said that the most obvious way to take your argument isn’t what you meant - then launched into a tirade: until you clarify what you meant, it’s not clear what your argument even means or why it’s even relevant - and as such it can be ignored until you do.
3.) On whistleblowers.
Let’s cut through the paragraph of typical chaff accusations and actually point out what your actual argument:
A.) There shouldn’t be any whistleblowers for flat earth.
This is inferred from what you said. You hurled insults at my argument as being an unsubstantiated assertion.
If you agree with the “unsubstantiated assertion” I am making - but still throw this accusation at me - it means you.are intentionally attacking an argument you agree with to be seen to say something - which is dishonest.
If you disagree with my argument - that there should be whistleblowers then my characterization of your position above is accurate.
Every major conspiracy is backed up by whistleblowers - providing material and verifiable evidence. From Edward Snowden, deep throat, and those that revealed MKUltra.
B.)There have been whistleblowers.
All your conspiracies you point out as true all have whistleblowers. So it stands to reason that a bigger and longer conspiracy would have had many whisteblowers that would have reveal material evidence about the conspiracy by now. There are none that match these criteria, as the claims are mostly general accusations and not materially supported.
4.) You claim to have ruled out all these different examples. However.
A.) This whole thread implies that both governments and satellite manufacturers are all lying - and are connected to the flat earth dichotomy. So that is multiple points on his list validated.
B.) You have said, multiple times, that the geometry of the world is different from the earth being a sphere. Distance between some points must get larger and smaller because it’s not possible to make the surface of a sphere flat without stretching some points with respect to others. You also agree that this is true earlier in this thread when you talked about maps.
That validates shipping and airlines: the idea that an earth with ships and airlines travelling around this distorted earth wouldn’t notice that some areas are thousands of miles more distant than implied - is ridiculous. For example, according to you, the South Pole wraps alll the way around the earth. Which means travelling short distances on a globe closer to the South Pole means you have to sail massively longer distances than implied. Something no one hasn’t noticed.
Between those two, that’s most of his posts validated.
Thus far - you have offered no actual argument as to why these are wrong. Just accusations, claims of fallacies, denials, etc.
I’m sure that’s why you do it: you can’t defend your position, so you are forced to simply throw around accusations and subject changes: to make arguments implying that a persons argument isn’t good enough - rather than wrong, in order to cast doubt. It’s kind of sad.

Actually, you've repeatedly asserted this, making this a proof by assertion fallacy.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_by_assertion
Along with your assertion:
"Bouyancy can’t exist without gravity. Is the same argument as “Bouyancy requires a force pulling down to exist- we use gravity.” They’re literally saying the same thing."
Which was shown to be a false assertion. You cannot address this and instead move the goalposts to yet another assertion, that buoyancy (a proven force) is nonextistent without the theoretical gravity, which isn't a force.
So, to recap, since (the force of) buoyancy, according to you, requires a force pulling down to exist, and gravity, which is, according to the theory of general relativity, not a force, what force do you think is exerted to cause a downward movement, if not the density?
Since buoyancy is a force, and gravity is not, are you prepared to recant the assertion that buoyancy requires a force?
Probably not.
Buoyancy is the force, and density and weight are both dependent on the buoyant force in a given fluid, specifically the pressure therein, no matter the direction of travel. If the object is denser than the fluid, the force of buoyancy cause the fluid to be displaced by the object, and make it's way up, to a point of critical density, where it will be at rest.
"You have spent dozens of posts and
paragraphs making accusations of straw men and other fallacies - and none that explain this point."
I, and SGN have explained it quite thoroughly, and you have up until now ignored the various fallacies you made, instead turning to different fallacies.
"Which is kind of odd - as this is literally the only actual real argument you’ve made."
Except the many that you ignore.
"So lets ask a simple question, that will demonstrate how Bouyancy can’t replace gravity:"
You very strong sealed box - so that the pressure outside doesn’t affect the jnsid with six sides labelled A-F. This box contains water, and pieces of balsa wood - and no air at all.
As balsa wood is Bouyant, it will float to one side of the box. Which side of the box will the wood float to?
F. It's an incomplete thought experiment.
"According to you, Bouyancy is a force that pushes most things in one direction - down. Therefore, it should be easy for you to tell which direction Bouyancy will push the balsa wood."
That's another lie, as I have not stated that buoyancy pushes most things down. Buoyancy works both ways, depending on density. I just figured out you are wasting my time. Sometimes you have to learn to stop arguing with someone, and let them be wrong. Especially when they repeatedly lie and ad hominem.

Nothing in this nonsensical word salad do you actually explain anything about Bouyancy or explain why Bouyancy doesn’t require gravity.
It’s really just the same set of name calling red herring nonsense where you hurl a set of accusations - or claiming you didn’t say the thing that you’re implicitly saying - until people forget you haven’t said anything of value or note. Keep everything you say vague and imply as much you can - then assert “that’s not what I said”, when the obvious incoherence of your position is pointed out.
So, as you can’t or won’t explain your claims about Bouyancy. - and I gave you a chance - Let’s explain why you’re entire position is unscientific nonsense.
1.) You’re ridiculous claims suppose that Bouyancy is what makes us feel like there is gravity. Gravity - or acceleration towards a particular direction - is what produces the concept of down - the direction in which stuff falls
2.) If you can’t show what direction objects move with Bouyancy - Bouyancy isn’t a replacement for gravity.
3.) if you can’t show what direction objects move without refering to an external up and down - Bouyancy isn’t a replacement for gravity.
4.) Bouyancy is a force produced because pressure increases due to depth - because gravity is pulling the objects.
5.) Bouyancy is caused because the pressure at the bottom of an object is greater than at the top - pressure produced by gravity - and thus there will be a net upwards force.
6.) If the density of the object is lower than the medium it’s in - more pressure - due to gravity - is produced by the medium on the object than vice versa, so the object moves on a direct opposing the force pulling everything down.
7.) The whole principle of Bouyancy is based on pressure - Bouyancy by definition is dependent on whatever force created that pressure - gravity.
It’s all here:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy
“This can occur only in a non-inertial reference frame, which either has a gravitational field or is accelerating due to a force other than gravity defining a "downward" direction”
and here:
https://physics.info/buoyancy/summary.shtml
And here:
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/pbuoy.html
“Buoyancy arises from the fact that fluid pressure increases with depth and from the fact that the increased pressure is exerted in all directions (Pascal's principle) so that there is an unbalanced upward force on the bottom of a submerged object”
”The pressure exerted by a static fluid depends only upon the depth of the fluid, the density of the fluid, and the acceleration of gravity.”
And even in your link:
http://physics.bu.edu/~duffy/sc527_notes01/buoyant.html
”When an object floats, the buoyant force balances the force of gravity. When it sinks, gravity wins.”
Indeed, it’s seems that - for some odd reasons - every reference to Bouyancy agrees with the “unsupported assertions” I’m making.
I look forward to your next 472918 accusations of random nonsense fallacies - and not a single attempt to actually provide a logical or valid interpretation of Bouyancy, or actual pointing of how, and why my description of Bouyancy is inaccurate.

Clue for you Globetard's, why don't you drive around your city/town and look where each and every "satellite dish is pointing at"? Millions of them, at every town and every city, to in every country, .. from businesses, to NASA employee social clubs/bars, and you will see that they all point to radio towers. Actually they even call them "satellite towers".
If any school, company, city, country wishes to survive on this UN/NASA controlled OWO earth, they have to agree on one thing, that they will have paper globes in all their facilities, offices, classes, and must bow before the cosmological gods like Mars, Jupiter, Venus etc. and confess they are "evolving animals of the ape family", or else, face the Wrath of Khan!

There is no gravity, and I know you and everyone with logic knows this. There is "up" and there is "down", .. Heaven is up, and earth is down. Anything with mass falls "down" towards the earth, and even NASA admits to this. This is why they measure the "rate of fall" of objects, and NOT the imaginary G-force, because as the Brian Cox/NASA super scientists have proven in their Giant Vacuum chamber that all things with mass, even a feather and a bowling ball "fall to the ground" at the same rate.
If mass had gravity, the 8,000 times the mass/G-force bowling ball would have passed the feather up and hit the ground sooner. Simple 3rd grade math, you add the G-force of both the feather and the 8,000 times more massive bowling ball to the earths, and you should know which object had the more g-force, and which should go faster?
look at the brainwashed Sci-Fientists laugh at their own ignorance at time 3:22 and we payed how much for all them science fiction art for the past 60 years? Over a trillion dollars and counting.
