So here’s the deal on the flat earth question:
I’m an inquisitive person. I ask a lot of questions.
I’m a passionate person. I speak my mind.
I am an alpha male. I don’t care what anyone thinks.
I’m an investigator. I look for evidence.
Since I have recently been considering this conundrum, I have not seen any evidence to suggest that there’s any truth to what NASA or the government has been telling me since birth.
I don’t believe them. I will NOT be gaslighted into just believing a lie, or assuming something is truth just because it’s repeated relentlessly.
If the “globe” is “round”, someone is going to have to prove it to me.
Just like “viruses” are real, “vaccines” are “safe” and elections are “fair”.

“Just like “viruses” are real, “vaccines” are “safe” and elections are “fair”.”
And the choice has been made…

Before NASA: Sputnik-1. Laika.
Roscosmos today. ESA. JAXA. CNSA.
Seems you're not inquisitive enough : certainly for your 'argument's continued existence.
Just ask William Shatner boldly going thanks to Jeff Bezos. Question:
Is Blue Origin part of any space agency...?!
Mark Shuttleworth is the first South African in space: was he sent up in a vehicle built by NASA...?!
Is Baikonur Cosmodrome owned by NASA?
Enquiring minds - which prove you wrong - need to know, Stewie.
Well, how about we just look at the competing models between the flat Earth and Globe.
On one hand we have the "Globe model" which explains seasons, night and day, orbital mechanics, the tides, and many other things with the data to back up each and every claim.
On the other hand you have... nothing. Flerfs have a discordant mess of claims that don't match reality, not a model.
Seems a pretty simple issue for an "alpha male inquisitive investigator" to resolve. Unless Stew Peters is none of those things.
If that's true, like me, you'll eventually distinguish bullshit from science and perhaps hopefully embrace reality. Meanwhile, like I once was, you'll have to face the consequences of ignorance and of preaching it, because some other people can see the obvious. An investigative mind can often be lost on the path, but should theoretically gradually make progress. You'll also discover that some information sources are more reliable than others. Means of knowledge acquisition too, like the scientific method.
This reminds me, I was raised in a cult. Years after being out of it, I met again someone who used to be a friend about my age back in it. One of the first things he told me was that he was so proud to be an independent thinker and a leader, allowing him to not care when people think he was a fool for preaching nonsense. I didn't tell him that, but my impression was that it was a misuse of those concepts (leadership and independent thinking) and only a type of self-delusion, a justification to not question false tenets. Another thing outsiders may wonder about, is if there's some kind of superiority complex involved.
someone is going to have to prove it to me.
I thought you were an inquisitive, passionate, alpha male investigator. Can't you do anything for yourself?

Never mind that, if he doesn’t care about what others think, how is he going to come to care about others’ evidence? Come to think of it, why should such “alpha males” exist , if they promise to be so willfully useless to the Other? The strong exist to serve the weak!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
