so have you come across any kind of
we'll say a flat earth nonsense in your
in your high school yeah yeah you have
anything you want to share already I
know and works it is just the kids
making fun of the people who actually
believe in it more than them believing
in themselves that's when it comes
across to me so it's kind of like the
flat earthers are kind of like the the
punching bag yeah mmm it's interesting
has there been any kind of like I don't
know like outburst like graffiti like
obnoxiousness about it no no that's like
that I have seen a couple of videos
where kids disrupting the class there
was a survey done last year by a hue gov
that said one-third of Millennials
weren't sure that the earth was round
like 1/3 was 33% Scientific American
kind of looked at that survey kind of
misleading they said it was more like
20% of Millennials aren't sure of the
shape of the earth but it seems like a
lot and as far as like the entire
country is concerned they said only 2
percent but that 2 percent said they
were sure the earth was flat
once again the interesting thing is the
the millennials worth 30 30 percent or
so weren't sure
what percentage would you say like how
many people are in your your grade it's
probably closer to 5% by it's not that
high it's 5% but how many students are
in your grade in my brain at my school
there's a hundred and so you say it's
like maybe 5% yeah is there any kind of
like way you could I don't know I don't
even want to say stereotype it seems
like the people that are outspoken about
it like in the media and stuff are like
basketball players TV personalities
comedians just like knowing you can
really take too serious
is there okay how about this is there
would you say a flat earth like leader
like guru no it's not even that advanced
it's just it's really a bunch of mocking
yeah wow that's really that's really
funny because it seems also that it's
the older generation maybe the Gen Xers
that are really like pushing it and it
seems like people are just yeah they
were following it and they were just
curious and now like because I get a
like news updates like for you know flat
earth just like blurbs in the news and
it's really nothing now it's really
simmer down it's I mean might get two or
three notifications of a news article
that makes a mention and it's just has
to be I mentioned that's all and but
like this time last year is like 10 to
12 like per day so now it's like really
nothing so I'm thinking it kind of like
just died off not died off but don't
find trend
have you noticed did you notice a
personal personally like a trend like
like last year
two years ago versus last year versus
this year it's definitely lower lower
yeah because that's what I'm kind of
noticed at the table talking about those
people and it's more in the back corner
yeah yeah flat earthers or floor furs we
like to call them they would definitely
disagree
they did a same poll you go you got us
out of London that's a london-based sir
poll and you like sign up and you get
points for taking the poll or whatever
so there's some kind of incentive it's
definitely not like a gold standard as
far as surveys if you're familiar with
like Pew Research they did that's the
gold standard and so they released
something that says you know two percent
of the population thinks this or that
yeah then I'll buy that but there just
seems to be too many discrepancies with
it the YouGov surveys but nevertheless I
think it was last week they released a
survey and they said that 3 percent of
UK of Brits are flat earthers which is
you know that's one percent more than
the US but whatever it seems and you're
saying that's about five percent in the
school which is really kind of
interesting I'd like to hear what other
people have to say about that but they
say three percent
there was a news UK news program they
did a little poll - at 4 percent of UK
and thinks don't hurt this slide they're
really big into the conspiracy theories
and the biggest Flat Earth was actually
the last one on the list that people
were into the largest one would be the
the moon landing of course I believe
that they landed on the moon their
evidence for them faking the moon it's a
whole lot I don't want say believable
but it's more of the ballpark than
frickin flat earth so there's about 15%
of Brits so I can kind of say there's
15% of the the US population that would
also believe that moon landing is fake
and on top of that there was a survey
done in 20 I want to say 2011 they said
that 25 percent of Americans did not
know that the earth revolved around the
Sun so that's 25 percent
but what is really high it does doesn't
it yes and this has been done in other
countries and it's about the same
amazing that's it is really high you
know the survey this was done you know
like several years ago so there wasn't
really much done if you say 5% my are
flat earthers or well you don't really
know if it's just 5% it is just five
percent that are vocal about being the
flat earthers nine percent I've heard
talking about it you've heard talking
about it I don't know if they're serious
or if they're in around mm-hmm I say I
see what you mean you don't know so it's
not really to a point to where it's even
taken seriously was there a point where
it was taken seriously you think I'm not
sure I think that middle school area I
think that's really important because
that's really kind of like when you're
kind of like lost and you're looking for
your identity I mean yeah sure we like
this and this and this and that you know
like some cars and baseball and dogs and
horses and whatever I think right around
junior high you realize that you need to
have identity so I think if this is just
my opinion I think if people are gonna
jump on this bandwagon this flight or
please miss a little very early high
school yeah exactly that that would be
the time that would be done you know
because we didn't really learn at least
formally they didn't really teach us
anything about the solar system or the
universe big bang basic physics until
like I think it was like sixth grade I
don't really remember anything before
that because it was kind of like a big
deal it's like Oliver you're actually
learning science you know at that age
and that seems like the age where people
would go against it now with a magnet
school
you guys have like special like
I want to see programs but I guess it
would be like a special oriented Torian
math and science so we were two years
advanced in math and doing stuff that we
still barely haven't done in high school
so far oh wow what are you gonna do
about that gap I mean easy to test out
of a lot of those classes all right huh
well they allowing or allowing me to
skip the classes but they don't have
higher classes so I'm having to go to
CSN to start taking higher classes
please just say math and science what
were some of like projects that you guys
did throughout the year like that were I
don't kind of middle school yeah meadow
in science we normally did labs towards
physics labs but that they just all
evolved around like working with the
equations and it was more basic physics
wasn't these were still in middle school
yeah but and then in math we didn't
really do as many projects of math
except for we did a lot more with
geometry involving that into projects
like majoring stuff without tape
measures and sofas I had like a group
project like you and someone else or
something like a major project or like
building really no for a competition I
did there was part there was a build
project way to do what was that it was
we built a rollercoaster for like a
Marvel yeah they're extremely refined
the rules that we had to follow and so
we had to get it in the smallest area
possible and get the most jumps we
possibly could there's smallest like
foot space yes yes small
I was under the impression that there
was a like a lot more than 5% on the
teachers if it's only like 5% and these
people aren't even making any like
splashes making any weights or anything
teachers have they even addressed it or
anything no really because I've read a
lot of articles about teachers very
stressed out about the situation hmm
maybe that maybe it'll change it would
be very interesting because there's at
least I see videos of like high school
kids and they're like starting like
debate teens and stuff the other debate
flatter than okay so particulars and
it's so funny because they're so
passionate about something that's just
so
but you haven't really come across that
that's no that's really interesting
we'll have to get back well you know
what we'll do
again like this winter we'll see what
after after a semester but you've
already been hmm to really know no
difference between there's more in high
school there's more but it went from
zero to one couple yeah so from the bag
of schoolwork from zero door like to
like it wasn't how many people were in
your middle school don't worry
1889 there so
that's about it
