That's nice. Be sure never to sign up for satellite TV.
I cannot say they are incompatible. There may be those of the opinion that fairies keep the "satellites" where they need to be, and bend the radio waves as needed to account for the angles of the dishes based on latitude, and a giant conspiracy covers it up with talk of "orbital velocities" and "lists of satellites in geosynchronous orbit" and where they are allegedly located.... and you believe that flat earth is incompatible with satellites because ... ? (note that I didn't assert their incompatibility).
I see no reason why satellites cannot exist at a point of balance between the flat earth and the limits of the outer aether. Geostationary satellites are more a testimony for a flat, stationary earth than a spherical, heliocentric earthI cannot say they are incompatible.

Does your flat Earth have man-made geostationary satellites and satellite TV?
Are all of the GPS satellites and astronomical telescopes etc at that same point?I see no reason why satellites cannot exist at a point of balance between the flat earth and the limits of the outer aether.
And this is testimony for us living in fortunate times, when we do not have to really know how things work, as long as the screen lights up where we push the on button.Geostationary satellites are more a testimony for a flat, stationary earth than a spherical, heliocentric earth
So what causes machinery to work?
I'd say no.
Based on Cornell logician Max Black saying that the concept of cause is "a peculiar, unsystematic, and erratic notion"
I don't think we understand causal sequences - please note I am not venturing into Humean territory.
To me looking for or positing causal (in a mechanical sense) relationship between things people say or do is ridiculous.
I honestly wonder sometimes if this isn't the one of the biggest areas of misunderstanding in the modern world.
Yep, cause can be mental which is non mechanical (unless you force the analogy)...
I "desire", "will" and "intend" etc, they are all causes of action but non mechanical, and non reducible to the mechanical.
Rather they are novel phenomena, and therefore cant be reduced to the interaction of the substratum of parts, and be "done away with" in a scientific send off.
