[00:34:08] <exec> 08└─I note that the popular rise in the belief in a flat Earth is correlated with the fraction of flat TVs and computer monitors on the market. I claim that had we stuck with CRTs, which are almost always curved, the bizarre belief in a flat Earth would be less popular today. Go ahead, prove me wrong.
