La Tierra es plana
Existen movimientos importantes de ciudadanos alrededor del mundo que sostienen la creencia irrefutable de que la Tierra es plana. Y quiero decirte, estimado lector, que son muchos los que piensan así. Puedes mostrarles toda la evidencia científica que quieras —fotografías satelitales, videos espaciales, la fórmula de Newton, las imágenes de barcos desapareciendo en el horizonte— lo que quieras, y nada los mueve de su decisión fanática: “La Tierra es plana y no me vas a convencer de lo contrario. Punto”.
La Tierra es plana Many citizens worldwide hold fanatical beliefs, such as the Earth being flat, despite overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary. Similar dogmatic movements, like anti-vaccination or the belief that atoms are a hoax, also exist and generally cause little harm. However, when fanatical political beliefs gain majority in a democracy, they can lead to dangerous decisions impacting society broadly, illustrated by the persistence of radical socialist or communist ideologies despite historical failures.
- The Flat Earth movement exemplifies citizens holding irrefutable beliefs against scientific evidence.
- Other similar movements include those who believe the Earth is the center of the universe, antivaxxers, and those who deny the existence of atoms.
- While some fanatical beliefs are relatively harmless, political fanaticism can lead to dangerous collective decisions.
- Radical socialist and communist ideologies are presented as examples of political fanaticism that persist despite overwhelming historical evidence of failure.
- The article points to recent presidential election examples in Chile and Colombia to illustrate the continued support for such political tendencies.
