I do love that flat earth documentary where the guy eventually proved the Earth is a sphere.

It goes further than that.

Sargent says something along the lines of, "We can't tell people about this result. They'll kill us."

The entire film sets up the premise that NASA is hiding research about a flat earth. They are guarding the ice wall so people don't see it.

Then they hide research showing the earth is round.

These people don't care about science. They care about power.

It's no accident that conspiracy theorists and conservatives have a considerable overlap.

My cynicism is so automatic that I could never say what you just said and keep a straight face.
