As a sailor and navigator, I’ve been noticing the proliferation of the “Flat Earth” mania. I admit I’m curious how flat earthers find their way here and there in the world where all the books that explain how to do that presume a globular earth. By far the most interesting part of the phenomenon is the manner of its most visible proponents, who appear bent on shaming, belittling, and making fun of those who don’t buy their assertions.. To me this speaks worlds about their miniature egos and their fantasies of superiority. Still, to give the devil his due, I’m issuing the following challenge to the flat-earth crowd. If you competently fit one of the 40 descriptions below, please contact me at once. I have some questions for you. Perhaps you can shed some light on just what it means to say the earth is flat.
