Flat or globular the horizon is always below eye level but the eye is fooled into thinking it at eye level.
That is not correct. On a flat earth, the law of perspective always puts the vanishing point on the horizon, regardless of the view height.

Are you new here? If I'm to remain faithful to my experience, step one will be first to criticize how stupid and lazy ballers are for using YouTube to prove their case. The second step would be to criticize YouTube itself as a source of truth and mention how only little children would ever believe such a thing. The third step would be to criticize the baller for personally being too lazy to go out and do the experiment for themselves, instead of relying on an 'obvious shill' to talk for them. Step four is to wait for people who also think the way I do to pile on a bit with their own derogatory insults about the mental capacity of the poster and enjoy the subsequent 'likes' and 'agrees' at the bottom of my posts which I would assume validates my opinion.

There are more steps, but I don't want to get too ahead of myself.
I've read through this entire thread and have not found any instance where the above description fits. You bear false witness.

Actually you expressed the same idea as I did but you said it better. Thank you. Perspective can fool the eye. As an example consider the harvest moon rising in the east at dusk. While it looks immense it is actually no larger in the sky than a moon well above the horizon.

If you take multiple exposures of the sun or moon when it is rising or setting its size will not change in the photo.

Which proves nothing except that you see what you want to see.

You believe false witness.
You believe the lies that deceive the whole world. That's why practically the whole world agrees with you & not us.

What he was trying to point out is that the horizon would eventually begin to sink as one elevates, which has never been recorded to my knowledge.
So of course elevating from any flat plane the vanishing point will continuously recede into a horizon.

There's a lot of that going around. You should check out some of the work people are doing with infrared devices. People like 'JTolan Media 1' are picking us the bases of mountains where the calculations dictate the top should be behind the curve by significant amounts.




A problem is that this phenomenon has only been presented to us with the assumption that we are on a globe, but not really yet considered how it might come across from the more accurate aspect of the flat earth, at least not that I've seen personally. Unfortunately, the current science-like guess isn't going to help anything but muddy the waters.
Thank you, yes.
btw, for "some reason*" (lol) I can't rate posts or see how they've been rated.


*wink, wink, nod, nod... lol

List the posts where we have done what was claimed.

Whereas you apparently believe the earth is secretly ruled by alien lizard people from another planet. Presumably they are the ones behind this whole globe earth deception.

Interesting how her hair does not change.

They won't get it because it's being associated with a flat earth, and there's a rather robust cognitive dissonance going on there. It's amazing. There are people who would freely admit they don't trust their government 100% of the time in all areas, and that's a wise position to take. But when the area of the government is NASA, then suddenly it's all inerrant gospel to them. After all, NASA would never lie about anything, ever.

Even though you have this former senior CIA guy, and more recently the Chief Counsel for the Internal Tribunal for Natural Justice, saying that NASA was not actually a space agency, but the organization where the bulk of the mind control has been done.


His full comments are here, but oddly enough, the portion about NASA as a vehicle for mind control has since been edited out. But if watched, one can see where the editing occurred.
