It reminds me of talking with serious potheads.
They like to say things like "Based on what I've seen, the world is flat, so how do they stop the water at the ocean from flowing over the edge?"
It's impossible to back them up to first settle that the world is not flat, they've already taken that as the truth
if that's a true example of an actual conversation you've had with a stoner, just imagine how much their minds would blow, if you let them get baked, have this same conversation, and take them to the ocean, even just the beach, so they can see the curvature of the earth out at the horizon.
I've only been to an ocean beach twice (somewhere near San Jose,CA when i was like 10, and the spring of my senior year of HS, on our band trip to Disney, we stopped by Cocoa Beach for brunch, and a dip in the ocean), but i can clearly remember seeing the earth's curvature on the horizon both times...
