What I learned from this QA session has given me unique insight and a new unified theory of earth shape that encompasses the round and flat ones. I am not certain how it extends to concave earth yet.

The problem: Flat earthers see the world as a sloppily programmed simulation where earth is definitely flat. By admitting that this is due to sloppy programming they do admit that the bigger lines of the simulation suggests a round earth. Right?

So, my new theory is that the computing power driving this simulation isn't unlimited. They have to prioritize. The AIs that are important to the purpose of the simulation are prioritized and see a world where all details are consistent and science makes sense. As AIs with support roles are removed further from the main purpose of the simulation the allocated compute resources result in a more and more "sloppy" world.

I am certain the purpose of the simulstion can be deduced by looking at the people living in the world described by conspiracy theories and those living in the self-consistent one. The number 42 may be involved.
