This is the Epic Battle we Face

Free hint: if your truth doesn't sound convincing to 90% of people, there might be something about it that is not actually provably true.

Under normal circumstances, you'd be right. But there are these little things called comfort zones. People like to believe they have their life under control, that their vote means something, that their government cares about them, thay they'll go to Heaven after they die, that their soldiers and military protects their freedoms etc etc.

In short, people will not accept the Truth if it's outside their comfort zones and is not aligned with their pre-determined biases. More than likely, you'll be ridiculed for attempting to tell them the Truth if it makes them uncomfortable and destroys their belief systems.

Not sure that's how reality works. Most people at one point believed the world was flat, but it didn't make it any more true.

People NEVER believed en masse the world was flat. Whenever you had the technology for sailing, you had people saying "take a look at this! If you stand here and look at the mast, you've got some curvature going on the Earth" and that was enough to convince people that your weird idea of a globe has some mileage.

Because when you have hard evidence, it's not that hard to bring people around on something that is concretely true.

Actually people did believe in mass that the world was flat, and if they questioned such they were persecuted, not unlike certain subjects today. You can't question the rhetoric that vaccines are necessary and safe without getting without a whole lot of hatred and possibly your children taken away.... Conveyance of truth today is much more about power and unfortunately not as much about true science, which all too often has been morphed into scientism.

Are you sure you're not thinking of the earth being the center of the universe? I'm not aware of any historical persecution of round earthers - they have literally always existed.

Apparently educated people around the time of Galileo believed the earth to be round. However most people were not educated scholars. You are correct that the persecution at the time was if you did not believe the earth to be the immovable center of the universe. Regardless, truth was suppressed and I'm positive that the people in mass drank the cool aid with a few enlightened individuals who mostly keep quiet about their dissension from official church doctrine. This proves my point as good as any other, that power not truth is what was primarily conveyed. Of course it's hard to hide the truth for long, but the process of fighting those in power to allow it to come out is most often a hard long road....

You have a few misconceptions here and I hope you don't mind me elaborating; we usually agree on most issues, but I do think this is important.

Coepernicus had JUST finished his work on planetary motion. It was new. Before that, if anyone started babbling on about the earth around the sun, people would be like "how do you know?" and they'd be right to - because what they didn't know about was elliptical motion. Without a knowledge of elliptical geometry, it was just as weird and convoluted to have the earth going around the sun as the sun going around the earth. But after Kepler published his laws of motion, anyone could run the numbers and go "holy hell! That is so much better!" and that made people eat it up as truth.

They would have told everyone. The town around the observatories would have been proud of this. The German clergy loved a chance to stick it to the Catholic establishment and would have pushed it from their pulpits. The Vatican tried to make an example of Galileo and they got to him, but his publications on the phases of Venus had already spread: Venus does not have phases in the Ptolemaic universe, only in the Capoernican one.

And because the position of the earth around the sun has implications on agriculture, farmers knew about this. Because the position of the moon around the earth has implications on tide, mariners knew about this - sailors are always the first among laymen to implement new technologies! So no, it wasn't restricted to the schooled kabals. It took relatively little time for the Catholic Church to find themselves defending a position that was just obselete: it was too useful, too simple, to buy the evidence that the earth goes around the sun.

And this is my point: if the 90% isn't waking up to something, there's a punch to your evidence that you are missing. There is a punch to the evidence that should be there if you have truly found a hard truth.

Again, just like the sun can only been hidden by clouds for so long.... such is like how long truth can also been hidden. It can be hidden and suppressed, and as been done so throughout the ages. It's a lot harder however to hide truth about physics because at some point it becomes so damn obvious. You see a picture from space of the earth it's really hard to argue that without some serious mental gymnastics usually involving some pretty wild conspiracy theories. That said spiritual truths in particular were suppressed and indoctrination rampant throughout the ages, arguably more so in the west than the east, but there too for sure.

In modern times there's a lot of scientism that is done in the field of pharmacology in which numbers can be played with and important factors left out, etc. In fact the greatest enemy we have towards finding truth and having general freedom is the large monetary interests. When making a buck, or in this case an obscene amount of them, is on the line.... that is a whole lot of incentive to do shady $hit. And indeed Shady $hit has been done.
