Right here, on this very site, I encountered someone who truly believed the World was flat. He reminded me of the Cargo Cult.

On the islands in the Pacific the United States built airports in pursuit of victory over Japan. The natives enjoyed all that attention and good stuff that came their way. After the war was over the Americans went home.

The natives then built bamboo airplanes and control towers in an attempt to bring those Americans back. When someone is dedicated to a particular narrative to the point that any information contrary to that narrative is rejected the Cargo Cult is what you get.

“I encountered someone who truly believed the World was flat”

Really?

I find it interesting how the guy here just strung words together as a supposed “insult”
