2 years agoFrom my limited understanding, it mostly seems like misattribution of all the very obvious chaos and uncertainty about “grand” events like climate change, economical strife, etc.
It’s less that someone holds pancake planet as their sole belief but more a web of interconnected beliefs that would explain the true cause of these nebulous events if they were true.
Not that it makes the outcome any better that people choose a more palatable ideological narrative over reality but there is a part of me that recognizes ignorance would be more blissful.
I didn’t think it had to do with whether you were detected or not beforehand. I read somewhere a long time ago that loading in actually made a lot of noise that triggered the guards’ “on guard” posture.
IIRC it also caused issues in places like Aprogrom where you went through a loading gate into an enemy base where they’d already be spooked.
