Re: Gates' problem

Well lets take stock on some widespread beliefs in the US :

1. Angels are real

2. UFO's are space aliens

3. The Earth is flat

4. The moon landings were faked

Just a small sample of the more popular ones.

The problem is the internet now acts as a way to popularise anyone's crazy private theory and make it widespread, apparently flat earth theory was dreamt up around 100 years ago and was all but dead, but was revived just a few years ago, to the extent one true believer in the US just killed himself in a home made rocket (silly when most commercial jets fly far higher, and you can see the curvature, but obviously they think they have something over the windows to hide the flat earth lmao).

Just under half the population in any country seem to have a very poor grasp of reality and objective research, and what they think (or someone in a book or internet thinks) quickly becomes their new reality, and when they band together in groups it's like putting petrol on a fire.

I feel sorry for people like Bill Gates who constantly have to deny crap spouted by the loons
