The Flat Earth Society was originally formed as the Universal Zetetic Society in 1884, after the Greek word zeteo, "to seek". Zeteticism, Shenton says, emphasises experience and reason over the "trusting acceptance of dogma" – or, it seems, overwhelming evidence. Only a personal trip into space to see the world as it is for himself would persuade him. "But even then, in seeing it, I would have to be convinced there weren't any tricks involved."
They dont spell Elliott wrong in the article, but it keeps doing the luck the fakers thing for every other sentance. :lmao
just click the link to read it.
*edit*
I've been drinking and was going to use this as a backhanded attempt to poke at Mouse, but its just too rediculous even for him.
