Where are those questions?

606 people have “reached orbit”. No defections afaik.. they all have maintained that the earth is a globe and they saw all the way around it. At what point is that number convincing to flat earthers? Maybe not until the flat earther in question actually watches the earth spin from orbit?

Fallacy, good sir. You're trying to argue from a position of incredulity. How big of a lie would you tell if I offered you $50 million? Do you think it would be difficult to find 600 people in the world who would take a lie to their grave for $1 mill?

There's actually 6 questions now. You'd have to go on and discuss these, because it's far too much to cover over text, and I want it recorded for posterity. Go back and watch people try and answer them. It's quite entertaining.

So you might be thinking that I was making an appeal to authority, but I’m not. What I’m doing is making a comparison to bitcoin. I’m saying that after a certain number of people see the truth, the cost to keep them all quiet becomes infeasible. So then it’s an open question of how much money or threat of violence is available, and how long until you run into that one psycho who’s willing to suffer whatever they can do to them to tell the world the truth.

Yeah, I’ll check out those questions

I didn’t make why that’s clear to bitcoin as obvious as I thought I did. But think softwar stuff.

Asymmetric cryptography makes it possible for us to keep our bitcoin safe because it raises the cost of executing an unapproved transfer to the point of infeasibility - even for nation states!

Similarly, the more people that claim to have orbited earth, the higher the cost is of keeping them all quiet. At some point even nation states can’t maintain the ruse.
