Flat earthers try to sail to the edge of the world

It was not my opinion, but that of the flat earther.

Just an FYI, when ever this starts happening to me, and I am signed into my YouTube account then I just clear the watch history or the offending videos that are messing up my recommendations, clear my browser cache, restart browser, and login into account again. Seems to work fairly well so far.

I use a VM for such kind of "researches" :rolleyes: :-D

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Thanks, I just had something similar happen on my Amazon Prime account recently. I watched three 'UFO' videos in a row and it caused my entire recommendations list to be aliens/ufo related. I contacted support and they showed me how to go into my history and click 'Do not use this for recommendations'. Here is food for thought... ancient Hebrew and the related Canaanite family of languages did not have separate words for 'suggestion' and 'temptation'. Imagine what our future will be like with these 'suggestion' algorithms evolving and people installing a neuralink directly into their brain. A future of un-blockable suggestions temptations advertisements.

Stupid, stupid people! If they get caught in the waterfall at the edge they'll go over for sure, and then they'll just keep bouncing off the shells of an infinite column of turtles - as the old lady said, it's turtles all the way down.

Taleb says that Semitic languages lack a distinct word for forecasting and simply use prophesying. It's rather amusing in light of many statements made about investing or the economy.

How about the millions---millions----who sailed over the edge and didn't get caught

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

In Hebrew, there are two words - one for prophesy (prophet), and another for vision (visionary). The word root for forecasting in modern Hebrew comes from vision, not prophesy.

They won't be smart enough for that. At best they are likely to employ carrier pigeons. If the pigeons are smart enough to navigate a spherical world, navigating a flat world will be a breeze! :)

Reminds me of the old episode of Monkey in which he wagers Buddha he can fly out of her hand. After an untold distance flying on his cloud he reaches the 5 pillars all the way at the end of the universe and does some graffiti. Only to discover he's just tagged her fingers. :doh:

My best advice is to watch the documentary called "Beyond the Curve". It's a fantastic "non-biased" review of the flat earth movement. There is even a section by a group of flat earth scientists who perform a series of experiments using low and high tech gear over the years to prove their flat earth theory. I won't spoil the ending :P

To stop any argument with a flat earther, just state that if the earth was flat, then cats would have knocked everything off the edge a long time ago. Bond Keep all things as simple as possible, but no simpler. -said someone, somewhere

Use incognito mode on your browser if you do change your mind. That way it won't mess with your current youtube algorithm. :)
