It's 2017 and the world is dealing with things like various wars in the middle east. There isn't a cure for cancer. Forests are still being destroyed at an alarming rate and global warming is still getting worse. With all those things and more going on it's amazing that people are actually taking the time to debate whether the Earth is actually flat or round. You would have thought that this theory would have been laid to rest way back in 3rd century BC, but idiots keep reviving it.

The Flat-Earth Truther movement has been picking up momentum with several famous celebrities and athletes coming out and stating that they believe it to be true. In the video you will see in this article, Brazilian jiu-jitsu fighter, Eddie Bravo presents an even madder theory than the ones that you're used to. He thinks that "globalists," such as NASA and the ESA with help from the mainstream media, have come up with the lie that the Earth is round so that they could enslave mankind. Yeah, he's pretty out there.

Here is a brief excerpt from Joe Rogan's podcast where he debates Bravo:
Rogan: “Why not indulge the full realm of possibilities and not cling to the conspiracy every single time?”
Bravo: “No. No. NASA can get pictures—they’ve been doing CGI composites this whole time…”
Rogan: “Please answer my question. Forget about stating what NASA does. Please answer my question. Why do you always go toward the conspiracy? Why do you never consider the possibility…”
Bravo: “Too many lies. Too many lies.”
Rogan: “But Eddie they’re not the same people.”
Bravo: “It’s all the same.”
Rogan: “So everybody’s lying?”
Bravo: “Yes. It’s a global thing. They’re all in on it.”

Every time Rogan would give a counter-argument, Bravo would say repeatedly that he was crazy saying that people are easier to control if they think they are standing on a "ball" instead of a flat surface.
“You’re on a ball,” Bravo said. “You’re nowhere. Don’t try to go anywhere. Just stay there and work.”

Regardless of what Bravo says, the Earth IS round. If Ferdinand Magellan could prove that fact in the 1500's then what do you think modern day scientists can prove? Regardless, people still want to believe that the world is flat. In 2016 one argument between a father and his kid's girlfriend got so tense that a fire was started after a propane tank was thrown into a fireplace. Also in 2016, rapper B.o.B. engaged in a Twitter war with scientist supreme, Neil deGrasse Tyson.

“If you want to think the world is flat, go right ahead,” deGrasse Tyson would go on to say. “But if you think the world is flat and you have influence over others, as with successful rappers, or even presidential candidates, then being wrong becomes being harmful to the health, the wealth, and the security of our citizenry.” Mr. deGrasse Tyson makes sense to me. B.o.B., real name Bobby Simmons, would go on to make a diss record aimed at deGrasse Tyson that used online conspiracy "evidence" to disprove the fact that the Earth is round.

NASA and the European Space Agency have both denied any role they may have played in tricking us into thinking we are living on a giant space ball as Bravo would have you think.
