Welcome Back, Guys!!!
Hello Guys! I'm sorry for the delay. I was busy last week doing absolutely nothing important. But let's forget about that. We are not here for me. We are here for the Guy from a third-world country who's slowly but surely nearing one step after another to the gate of reality. Last time, he suffered a brutal defeat against himself by discovering new pieces of information that he had never heard or seen before. But he will soon realize that those pieces of information have always been in front of him. But for now, let's talk about his comeback, armed with his well-thought Best Arguments. Will he be able to even up the score? Or will he suffer another knockout punch to his Ego? Let's find out.
Locked and Loaded! Ready for Round 4!
Waking up to the sound of my alarm clock usually reminds me that it's time to get ready for work. But this time, I feel like it was just a signal that the next round was about to start. I am doing my daily routine, getting ready for the day while still thinking and scared about something.
For minutes, I thought about what if we are really being lied to our entire lives. What are we doing here? Spending our whole life at the very start living in a lie, since we are born on this Earth, are we being controlled and put in line, so we stay in a slave mentality? From what we watch on T.V since we are kids, to the whole "Education" system, from the Movies and Music to NEWS. What if these things are perfectly set up for us humans to stay on auto-pilot?
We just accept this system that has been presented to us. Like we are just in an "RPG video game" that we need to work in our entire lives to earn these pieces of paper we called "money" until we die, while these group of people who controlled our world were like the "game masters" of the game who can make these papers from thin air, the ones who controlled all the resources and had the authority of the "game map" to where there are lands accessible for "game developer and staff only" while we "gamers" or masses are only able to play here in our own "servers" which is our countries. The "levels" or how strong you are is based on how many of these pieces of paper you earn. You get to do some "cross-server adventure" or "buy some high-level accessories or items.," and if you earn enough "levels' or money, they will recruit you to join their side on the top. These Game Masters are sitting pretty and have all the real history of our world and human origins. Still, they choose to hide it from us, so we will forever stay clueless humans who don't know anything but enjoy being entertained by stupid things. They just want us to spend our lives accomplishing these nonsense life-consuming activities and pass the control on to their next generations of crooked power-greedy people.

Mehhh, enough of that silly idea, right? "We are not in such kind of Video Game set-up," I said to myself. I woke myself from daydreaming and tried to continue my "normal" life, but I couldn't because the thought that us being brainwashed to play this game was boggling my mind.
Riding a bus on the way to work, I searched YouTube for some Flat Earth debunking videos to get some additional points. Before searching it, I don't expect to see much because who will spend their time debunking such nonsense? But to my amazement, there are unlimited videos of Flat Earth debunkers. I bet for closed-minded people, these kinds of moments will be great, but for me, it makes me feel more scared.
As I said, I'm just a regular guy with no higher education or is not that smart like people who have something on their resume. I feel more pressured as I see these infinite numbers of debunking videos. I said, "why are there so many people doing this stuff? Is there a debate going on? I thought way fewer people like me would spend time on this kind of nonsense, And these people doing these debunking looks much smarter than me, so why do I even try if there are a lot of people doing this and yet Flat Earthers exist. What can I do here?
I watched some of the videos anyway, but I got nothing. All of the Arguments were already on my list of arguments. Worse, most of them had the Boat or Ship over the Horizon Argument that hurt my Ego last time since it was easily debunked. It seems these people only look smarter than me, but actually, our arguments are almost the same thing. My advantage is my common sense.
Scratching my head, I closed my phone as I had already arrived at my workplace. At that time, about 3 to 4 months had already passed from the start of this story, so I was almost eight months abroad already. I made a few friends at work. One of them is from India, named Satish. I never opened up Flat Earth to anybody I know because I don't think they care about this, and they don't.
My playful side is turned on that day because It's Sunday which means all of us will work in the morning instead of my usual nightshift, so I have some energy to communicate with others. Yeah, that's me.
I tried to open up a conversation about Flat Earthers to Satish, and I said, "Man, do you hear about these crazy people who believe the Earth is Flat?" And he looked at me with big eyes and said, " No, but I don't call people "crazy" just because they have different beliefs than me." That was the start of a small discussion.
My conversation with Satish
Me: But Earth being a Globe is not even a belief. It's a fact backed up by Science!
Satish: Oh, Is it? Tell me what Science said we are on a Spinning Ball?
Me: What are you talking about? Scientists say it's a Sphere. Scientists do Sciences. Therefore it is Scientific that we are on a Globe!
Satish: Sorry, I think you missed my question. I ask you, what Science proves a Spinning Ball?
As I said before, I'm not good at debating, and I get easily intimidated by people who speak fast, regardless of what words are coming out of their mouths. So I suddenly feel like a debate is about to start. My Ego level went from 0 to 100 real quick because I felt cornered and being pressed by questions.
But I get it under control because I'm 101% ready for this. After all, I already Locked and Loaded my guns last night and just waiting for the moment to pull the trigger. I didn't expect my Best Arguments would be handy today. So I told Satish the Science he was asking for, and I acted like all of it was just my common knowledge to look like a Science-knowing Guy when the truth is I prepared these Arguments these past days.
Me: You really want to do this now? Okay then, are you familiar with the "Coriolis Effect?"
Satish: Nope, tell me about it.
Me: Oh, that's why you did not know Science backs up a Spinning Globe. That's okay, I will "educate" you, and even Snipers know this Science. They will adjust their aim because of the "Coriolis Effect" because once the Bullet leaves the rifle, it is no longer connected to the Spins of the Earth, so they adjust to accurately able to hit the target that moves with the spins of the Earth. It also says water in sinks spins in different directions depending on where you are.
Satish: If that's true, why do hovering helicopters or drones never move in their position? They are no longer connected to the Earth, right? And why do planes travel almost the same time going and back to places?
I was caught off guard by this question of Satish, so I used one of the stuff I watched on YouTube with a confident look so he couldn't tell I was struggling. By the way, we were having this discussion with a smile because we are friends, and we can insult each outer without getting seriously angry.
Me: Well, it's because we are inside the Earth's Atmosphere, so we spin with it, and Gravity is doing something on aircraft. That's why we never feel its movements. This means aircraft are spinning with the Earth, so it's a perfect sense that they never consider Earth's spin.
Satish: So what the heck are you talking about with the Sniper Bullet thing again? That the Bullet is no longer connected to the Earth's Spins when it leaves the rifle something?
Hearing that Argument by Satish made me Glitch in the Matrix. I'm having a mental block moment and struggling to come back. At this point, I'm mentally sweating. Nowhere else to go. I just pull out the "Appeal to Authority Fallacy" tactic.
Me: Well, you know, you can look it up yourself. It's been written in Science Books and stuff, and It's all over the internet. It's been documented by professionals, and we are not, so we are not in the position to argue this.
Satish: Hey, you are the one who brought this up. Do you want to abandon your Water on Sinks Argument?
Me: Oh yes! That's mainstream Science right there. Because of the Coriolis Effect, Northern and Southern waters spin in different directions when drained on the sinks or in toilet bowls!
Satish: Look, I don't have reasons to lie to you. Sink and toilet bowl waters in my apartment spin in different directions. It had nothing to do with the "Spin of the Earth." It's purely based on the shape of the basin and the angle of the water's entry. If you have any doubt, try them later in your apartment.
(Not that I believe what this picture says, but it only shows that mainstream "Science" disagrees about Sinks and Toilets Coriolis Effect Myths.)

Being shocked by the Sniper Bullets' answer, I just want to skip this round and move on to the next because I'm scared that Satish might fire more follow-up questions about it. So I just said, "I don't know about that," and tried to change the topic by acting like I had a phone call, then came back a couple of minutes later and brought out my Proof of the Undeniable Globe! Circumnavigation!
So I went to the toilet and pretended to have a phone call when in reality, I had just escaped a potential emotional breakdown moment. I'm thinking, who the hell is this Guy? He just deflected my Argument by just asking me questions about it. Being at work, I didn't have time to stay in my safe zone toilet, so I calmed myself and focused on my next attack. I'm kind of excited to return, though, because I expect to shut him down with my following Argument, So I went back relaxed as If that was our first time talking about it. In my mind, I was already claiming this round victory.
Me: Hey, sorry about that, someone called. So, where am I? Oh yeah, Circumnavigations. I hope you understand that if we travel perfectly straightforwardly, eventually we will end up at our starting point, right?
Satish: No, we are at the Sink and Toilet water. I said you could try it in your apartment later and...
Satish had more to say, but I cut him out there and pushed my agenda. I want to try pressuring him and make him feel what I felt earlier. So I'm a little arrogant in approaching the topic this time. I even fake smirk and smile to make my appearance confident, hoping to lower his morale.
Me: I said I'm going to do that later, but I'm talking about Circumnavigation right now. Are you trying to evade this question? It's okay. I once didn't think about this, but I'm willing to explain this to you because you are my friend.
Satish: Yes, my friend, but before you explain that to me, I want to tell you what I know about it, alright? Just relax and listen to what I am about to tell you. It's a good story, and you might find this interesting.
At that point, I felt I was about to get wrecked because of how he looked at me and how he delivered those words. It seems my strategy backfires. Those sentences cut my morale in half, and I turned into a student being lectured by a teacher. I hoped to change the momentum in favor of me but ended up receiving yet another slap to my not yet fully recovered Ego.
Me: Okay, but just calm down, alright? We are just having a friendly discussion here.
Satish: Of course, my friend, I will start now.
So they said that in 1519, Magellan's Expedition did the first recorded Circumnavigation in our history. I don't have any problem with that because we can perfectly Circumnavigate East to West on a Flat Earth. And guess what, that's what he does.
Route of Magellan's Expedition
Just because you "Circumnavigated." land or water doesn't mean it's a sphere. It can be any kind of shape plate too. Walking around a tree doesn't mean you were circumnavigating a Globe.
Magellan's Route, if drawn in a Flat Earth Map.
Me: Hey, We travel straight and will always end up at our starting point! That's how to Circumnavigate the Globe! I assume Magellan is following his Compass, pointing straight East!
Satish: I agree, he follows his Compass, but it's not a straight path. What if I tell you that they just circled the Earth by going East until they ended up from where they started?
See, Compasses are always pointing at the "Magnetic North." There is NO such thing as "South Pole." In fact, Compasses are not working properly once you are in Antarctica because there is no magnetic pole there. It's simply too far from the Magnetic North and can't reach the Compass anymore.
A guy claimed to cross Antarctica within 54 straight days named "Colin O'Brady" MOSTLY using a compass and some kind of a snow vehicle. If that were true, this would kill the Flat Earth Map because one cannot walk an entire rim of the Flat Earth map in 54 days.
O'Brady's Route
It is a Flat Earth killer, except it's not true because he was lying. Many documented videos show that Compasses fail to work correctly in Antarctica. But I'm not saying that he doesn't travel there, but he doesn't cross it as he claimed. Maybe he just walks for miles on the shoreline of the Flat Earth.

So now we know the fact that Compasses are not working in Antarctica, Which means that there is no "Magnetic South." Let's go back to how Circumnavigation East to West or West to East works on a Flat Earth, like what Magellan Does.
Imagine you are touching a tree that represents the Magnetic North with your Left Arm, which represents the needle of a Compass. Now point your Right Arm to the West. Then start walking straight to the West without breaking the contact of your Left Arm and the Tree.
Exactly! You can't walk straight while holding on to a Magnetic Tree, and it will force you to circle. Because West to East, vice-versa is a Circle around the Flat Earth. You always need to correct your needle or left arm to point on the Magnetic North or the tree to maintain the West or East direction. If you don't, you will eventually end up South because every direction away from North is South on a Flat Earth. East to West, vice-versa is a Circle.
Me: Checkmate! So basically, you are telling me that West to East, vice-versa is the same thing on a Globe and Flat Earth. Cool, I can go with that. It's fine. But you fall into my trap! Now, how can you Circumnavigate a Flat Earth from North to South? You're done, my friend.
Satish: Yes, I'm done if we can do that, but sorry to cut your celebration short. Circumnavigation North to South or South to North has never been done ever.
Me: Now you are talking nonsense. Come on. It's okay to accept defeat. It seems like you are making stuff now.
Satish: Hahaha! Just look it up. All flight paths never go South and pop out North or North, then pops out South. It's a Fact! I will bow down to you if you can show me some proof.
At that moment, I was buying time by saying some empty words while I secretly scrolled down my phone, searching on the internet for flight paths North-South because I was pretty sure it would be easy to find something.
I was terrified that I couldn't even find one on the first page of Google. I tap the second, third, and fourth page, and nothing is there! Then I noticed him smiling and that he was already aware of what I was doing. I take offense to that, I put my phone in my pocket, and I throw an escaping statement hoping that he also got nothing to it.
Me: Well, you are the one claiming absurd things. Prove it to me that there are no Flights from North to South?
Satish: You are searching already, right? Look for the Flight paths map on the internet, and there are a lot of them.
I thought it was a great idea because I could biasedly search the internet without hiding it. So I proceeded then. But my silly strategy backfired once again. I was so embarrassed to know that he was correct, and I was clueless about what I was talking about.
All flights never go down South. It's all West to East and West to East. Here is the World Airline Routemap showing all Flights never Circumnavigate North-South. (CLICK HERE FOR A BETTER VIEW)

Tears almost came out of my eyes. I felt it was getting watery, but I fought it and was able to stop it. I was wondering why Satish seems to know about this topic. I thought he just heard this from me, but how come he got all of these rebuttals to say?
We got silent for a minute, and I got nothing to say, so I decided to stop our conversation and focus on our work because I was mentally exhausted from being mentally abused for hours now. But I was starting to become suspicious of Satish because he talked to me as if he was supporting the Flat Earth.
Thinking of that, I decided to confront him later about what he truly believed during our break. But in my mind, there is a big chance that Satish might be a Flat Earther himself, and I am really confused about realizing Flat Earth is really a thing. I thought it was only internet stuff, but they might be everywhere, silently roaming the Earth within us.
This last part of our conversation of the day about Flat Earth was very memorable to me because Satish helped me realize that there are many things that I thought I knew, but it turns out I don't have any idea what some of the facts and reality genuinely are. Find out how our low-key debate ended. During our break time, I ask him about what he believes.
Me: Hey man, you got a lot to say for a guy who heard Flat Earth for the first time, huh?
Satish: Well, because I am a Flat Earther. But regardless, all I said was just pure common sense. I don't think I said something special, at least for me.
Me: I knew it! You bastard! But why you didn't tell me? Are you trying to hide it?
Satish: Nah, I'm just tired of talking about it with people. I lost enough friends because of it, and even some of my relatives changed their attitudes toward me. Since then, I have been just talking about it if someone opens it up first to me. Sorry if you feel like I was debating you. I'm just getting carried away because this is the first time, for a long time, I talk about it again.
Me: No, don't worry about it. But do you honestly believe that the Earth is Flat? I mean, it's impossible.
Satish: Oh yeah? After all the embarrassing moments you experience earlier? I don't believe it. I know it. I'm not trying to convince you, though. I'm tired of it. For me, I'm just happy that I know the truth and I can recognize the lies.
Me: Don't be such a cocky boy. I'm not an expert on this topic. That's why you got me. I bet if you discuss this with a Scientist, you will get demolished in just one question.
Satish: I love Science. That's why I became a Flat Earther in the first place. To tell you the truth, I don't know what the Earth's shape is, but I am 100% sure that we are not on a Spinning Ball. There is NO REAL Science that can prove it.
Me: But there has been Science behind it since the beginning. Do you know Eratosthenes Experiment proving that the Earth is a sphere?
Satish: Oh my God, you want more? Let's stop this if you don't want to be a Flat Earther and be treated as crazy by your friend and family.
Me: Are you kidding me? Zero chance that I will become one of you! But let's stop this if you can't answer the Science of Eratosthenes. That's what I thought.
Satish: Eratosthenes Experiment doesn't mean something. It can be done in a sphere or a flat. Far away Giant Sun on a Sphere and a close Small Sun on a Flat. You can do that so-called Experiment by yourself, and you will realize it doesn't mean much.
In fact, the "Scientists" Neil deGrasse Tyson himself has already debunked this thing in an interview. It would be best if you watched it. He destroyed it very well.
(CLICK HERE to watch the full video of Neil deGrasse Tyson debunking Eratosthenes)
Me: I don't believe that. Neil is not a Flat Earther, so stop making up stuff.
Satish: I know, but he debunks Eratosthenes Experiment for a reason. It's flawed and a bad Experiment to represent a Ball Earth, so he shut it down so people will never look up to it anymore because it's nonsense.
(For Eratosthenes Experiment Invalidation, CLICK HERE for video explanations)
After that last words he said, Satish stood up and left me speechless. I was so in denial that I thought he left because he knew I was already defeated. I'm baffled, asking myself why I am having a tough time proving the Globe which I thought at the beginning that would be a walk in the park for me.
Then I heard Satish calling me and saying's "Hey? What are you doing? Breaktime is over. Let's go." I can't believe that Satish is going because it's time to get back to work. It feels like we are just talking for a couple of minutes, but it's already an hour.
Minutes passed, and I moved on from my latest failure, but I did not talk to Satish for the rest of the day. Thanks to NASA, I almost gave up the Globe that time, but I realized I still got more powers to fight. But I'm not going to engage Satish anymore because I got traumatized talking to him about this topic, so I just decided to go back on the internet. In that way, I will not feel much pressure as I felt talking to Satish.
I got home that day. I was disappointed because I thought I could effortlessly shut down a Flat Earther, even in person. I take a hot shower. I calmed down and thought that instead of proving the Globe Model, I don't try to think of holes in the Flat Earth Model.
The first thing that comes to mind is if the Earth is Flat, where is the edge, and why no one ever falls off? As an "Open-minded" I am, I counter myself and ask, "Well, why we can't fall off in a Globe?" and the answer is GRAVITY!
I will end this part right here, guys. It's already above 4000 words. Next time, let's find out what the Guy from a Third-world country is up to as he will try to touch on the topic of GRAVITY, the all-in-one answer of the Spinning Globe! What is he going to find out about the very foundation and support of the Globe Earth Model? Is it going to help him destroy the Flat Earth, or does his losing streak continue? Let's see!
For now, let's relax and love each other, be grateful for what we've got and be happy that we are healthy and not hungry!!! Until Next Time!!!
