I talked to a guy that worked in one of the deepest underground mines in Kirkland Lake, Ontario. He said one of his bosses, a highly educated libertarian nut job was a flat earther and would debate his workers on a regular basis about it. I told him they should ask for more danger pay because at one point they might drill through the flat earth plain and fall into space .... or land on a turtle.

Then they start talking about "as above, so below" in that water is both above and below us (with no distinctive* collectively agreed upon measurements).

There's are so many weird-ass suppositions.
