I would like to make this Thread on ways to spread the flat earth news.

I was recently asked about the way to wake people up with the flat earth truth. One of the best ways is to send family and friends a link in an email about a video that talks about the flat earth (example of one below):

The one given here is good as it has good video clips and pictures when the people are talking. A video with this is much better than just an audio or two guys talking at a table. Video clips, pictures and computer graphics engages the people and it also helps them conceptualise what the person is talking about. You may find other videos on YouTube that illustrates what they are talking about.

Another advantage of a video is that you don't have to know all the answers. That's, of course, the video is by someone who knows the flat earth subject well. This relives the burden of you talking.

Business Card

Another method of getting the flat earth truth out is with a business card. You can be creative and have a picture of the earth with some statement that arouses curiosity. You don't want something that says, “Learn about the the flat earth,” as people are conditioned to react in a negative way and to think you are a “nutter.” You may have something like, “NASA reveals secrets of the earth,” or “A secret that will change your world view,” or something like this. With the case of NASA, we know that they have not personally revealed it but you can say, “NASA is revealing the secrets of the earth by making stupid statements; they want us to read between the lines,” which they are in essence doing.

The link you want to put on the card is not a YouTube link as it is hard for someone to copy this into their browser. What you can do is find a good video on someone's website that has a good video and copy that link. Or, you can put up blog (using Wordpress is best) and have a name address to print on the card rather than something that is a bunch of numbers and letters in large and small case.

Using the card method is good if you don't have time to talk to someone.

Sitting a person down in front of a computer

If you have the opportunity to sit someone down in front of your computer or their computer, you can simply watch a good video and you'll be there to answer any questions.

Talking to someone

The last thing you would do is to personally talk to someone. This is only good if both you and your friend have the time to discuss the flat earth. You should allow about 1 hour for this. This is recommended if you know the flat earth subject well, otherwise, he won't want to hear it again. If you do talk to someone have a business card with the appropriate links on it. Give them to your guest for further research they can do.

I hope this helps you in spreading the flat earth truth.

How To Introduce People To The Flat Earth

Here are some ideas that I found helpful when talking to people about the flat earth for the first time.

It's very important to approach people in the right way with the flat earth news, if you don't, they will cut you off, they will also think you are a “nutter” and might try to avoid you in the future. If you start off by saying something like, “Do you know the earth is flat,” this is a BIG NO NO.

Starting Off

The very first thing you want to do is to make sure the person you are talking to has about 1 hour of free time. If you finish earlier, that is fine but one hour is a good start. If you can only talk for about 10 minutes, you won't have the time to convince them or even have them question their current beliefs. By not having the time to explain, they will think you are a nut and won't want to hear the subject again.

If found out from personal experience that the best way to start off talking about the flat earth is by asking interesting questions and by making statements. Here are some suggestions, you may think of others but with the examples below, you'll know the direction to take.

Some examples statements and questions are:

We all know that water seeks its own level; that water can't remain on the side of a hill or remain on any surface that is not flat.

We know that 150mph winds can destroy buildings. Imagine what 1,000mph wind can do.

We can see the same stars, the same constellations each night. In fact, the same stars have been seen for thousands of years. But no one can explain how these stars can follow the earth and keep the same relationship to each other AND to earth while the earth is traveling around the Sun.

How come we can't feel we are upside down when we are in Australia, for example?

How can our atmosphere remain on the surface of the earth when we are traveling 67,000mph around the Sun without it being blow away? How can we not feel this tremendous movement? How is it that we can go outside and not feel any wind blowing? Scientists really don't have answers for this.

If the earth is spinning at 1,000mph – as we are told by astronomers and NASA – how can a plane land? If a plane is traveling in the same direction of the earth spin, how can they catch up to the runway to land or even make it to their destination for that matter?

Why does the horizon always meet up at eye level (whether we are on a mountain 5,000 feet or 10,000 feet or flying at 35,000 feet)? Scientists say that when on a globe the horizon drops off – it's a law of physics.

These questions should stir interest in your friend. If it doesn't, they might not have any interest in the world around them; they might just like their football and beer. In that case, you can leave them just where they are. If they show interest, then continue.

The point of asking questions and giving statements like this should stir curiosity in the people. Curiosity is one of the strongest emotions to motivate people. With motivation, you should be able to start answering these questions.

Peppering Your Statements

It's good to “pepper” your statements with: as we are told by astronomers and NASA, as this is using their words. You can also add: scientists, astrophysicists, etc. Since the average person respects these people and they are used to follow authority, you have a bases to start from. Putting these words in your introduction AND by talking in “the third person singular” the person you are talking to will not be “poo-pooing” you. After all, you are repeating what scientists have told us – which your friend might already believe and has respect for.

Answering Your Questions

Now is the time to answer your questions. Keep your talk going, don't allow them to butt in, at least not at this time. Answer their questions during the Q&A.

When you are talking about the flat earth, bring up the questions that most people will have AND answer them. This will strike doubt from their minds before they have time to ask the question themselves or before they make a statement themselves. Of course, answer their question after your little talk. The point is, you don't want people to go off on a tangent, down a rabbit trail or they won't learn anything and neither will others there.

Tell your audience, “Don't believe me but do your own research.”

After the talk you can hand them a business card that has some links on it for their further research.

I hope this helps.
