Ok so you are abandoning objective truth and hence logic. How can you confidently claim that the Earth is flat when you have such a radically skeptical epistemology? Reeks of cognitive dissonance.

I hope you're being glib, otherwise are you really failing to understand what was discovered thousands of years ago?

Love when people say objective truth, as if they could actually prove that. And if your logic is based off objective truth, then it is just as faulty, which is ironically highly logical.

And to answer your question about the flat earth claim, I believe it is flat, and thus it is so. Belief trumps knowledge because one is physical and the other goes beyond the physical.
Despite already laying it out for you I'll do so again in another way. /x/ is a board for the 'paranormal' it can be about many things, but ultimately is deal with things that are in a sense greater than this existence, greater than this world, greater than physicality. Those of us who come here with genuine intentions are those trying to better understand the ironically unknowable. We can look at the world around us and surmise there is far more than meets the eye or really any sense for that matter, that there is so much more and all you have to do is realize this and then search for it. There are many ways to go about this, but rooting yourself in science is not one of them.

If what you want is science then quite frankly this isn't the board for you, if you genuinely came here looking for an answer you will not find one, because this board doesn't deal with what you want. This is for so much more than what you seek and if you fail to realize that, then it's on you.
Seek Wisdom, not Knowledge.

Science is a good heuristic for learning about the world. I am willing to use other modes of discovery but I will not ignore what science makes clear. Science has no explanation for consciousness so obviously science is lacking in ability to explain things, yet science has given us magical devices that allow us to communicate across oceans. However, you do not appear to be advocating for another mode of discovery, but rather the abandonment of thought altogether. Shame.

Last time I'll try to spell it out for you.
There's more than this world and this existence and all you have to do is look within you to know that and then to figure it out. Those devices (including the computer) are mostly distractions, some can be used to some degree (mostly in communication with likewise of thought people) but for the most part the path of discovery lies within you.
If you want a more scientific answer I suggest looking up the double slit experiment, studying it and then if you cannot understand why science is practically pointless after that, then really there's no hope for you.

I understand that physics is observer dependant from subatomic to galactic scale. But don't overly mystify things. Is the Earth small enough that we realistically need to treat is as a quantum object? Is it moving at near-lightspeed? Is it a black hole? I understand that classic mechanics is merely an approximation, but it is basically the natural human way of understanding. I think the reason quantum and relativistic stuff breaks our brains so much is that is just a not very human way of understanding. Something tells me objective truth still exists. How could something like math exist otherwise?

Remove all humans, does language still exist? Would the concept of math still exist? Math formulas can be found everywhere but you don't need them to understand the world and although appearing objective, they are still subject to perception, if nothing perceives it, does that thing matter? Would the absence of perception change anything? If not then it's not that important.
Math is interesting and it can do many amazing things, but it's still limited.
