Burn the Books
What information is true? We have loads of books with information that conflicts with each other. We have science books that shove religion out of the way, and religion books that factually state miracles. History books that have inaccurate information stated as facts. Health books that have been updated because scientists and doctors discovered new methods, medications, and body functions. We continue to learn and continue to update our information when we find flaws in our teachings from before. Who is to say we have it right now? What information are you given and you believe? Have you seen the shape of the planet? Or do you base its shape off of what you've been told by someone else? Large groups of people will tell you how round the world is, but about the same amount of those people never actually seen it, and only seen pictures that were shown to them by other people. My main focus on this is not a debate of the shape of the planet, and more about the information that you are given, and how fast you are to decide its probability. Is the world round? Probably, I have never seen it, but I do believe it's round. But really, is it? I grew up around information being told to me and I believed it, and on this day, I now have a part of my brain open for the suggestion that no, it is not 100% fact, it's just high in probability. Will the sun come up tomorrow, probably. I don't actually know, but given the routine, the probability is high.
