I Mean I'm Talking About It A Bit I Guess? - Blog Posts

3 months ago

Wait. So. I'm a history student, and right now, we're in modern history and talking about Christopher Columbus. Who wanted to go to India, by boat. How did he want to do that ?

Right. Travel around the Earth. Because Earth is round. And they knew that at the end of the XVth century.

Now. Explain to me, how the hell do people think the Earth is FLAT ??????

Like, If you believe that, I'm sorry dude, but you're dumber than an XVth century man (yes, many of them knew. I don't actually believe people thought the Earth was flat at that time. How did we end up thinking that again ? Like we knew it was round during Antiquity, through middle age -yeah, they didn't believe in heliocentrism, but the Earth was not flat- and now what ? I don't understand.)
