Are you sure that there's no way to convince her to listen to reason? How does she reconcile her beliefs with the fact that there is so much goddamn visible evidence that the Earth is, in fact, round?


She just said she wasn't in the mood to discuss it, and the tone suggested that probably isn't going to change.
I can deal with something like religious differences because at least I understand it, but that level of science denial is too much. 
It's like when I found friends I hadn't talked to in a while became openly racist trumpbots.
Except I'm even more blindsided because it's somebody who was clearly rational and intelligent in the past, a good friend, plus mutual interest recently (and I generally have absolutely zero romantic prospects). 
I'm not gonna immediately cut her off or some shit, but I'm not seeing how I can respect her at this point. I can only expect the vaccine-autism, chemtrail, climate change denial shit next.

Well that sucks. :( Hopefully things get better in the future, even if it doesn't seem like they will.

Oh and the sun is really tiny and close, not really big and far away

 

And some people think the moon is a hologram

Why would NASA try and fake the sun's size and distance? I can at least understand the moon landing conspiracy nuts, but what would NASA's rationale be for the sun coverup?
