    I can’t tell the difference between Andrew Tate accounts and Andrew Tate parody accounts. Wonder if he’s trying to lay the groundwork for an insanity defense?

      To be the devil’s advocate, I think by fly he meant personal development, like actually trying to do something with your life. Idk don’t ask me, I’m a gamer

    I mean, no scientists have ever done a double-blind study on the effectiveness of parachutes at height. There’s a possibility that landing safely is just a placebo effect.

      Landing safely is just survivor bias. No dead parachutist ever reported a failed parachute.

      One of the consequences of getting older is that you forget what its like to simply not know things.

      My two year old son is constantly climbing up stuff and tumbling off it without any regard to the possibility that gravity might be holding him back. Every time he lands hard, he looks at me with tears in his eyes, as though the whole world has betrayed him. If you could just fly by not understand gravity, everyone under the age of six would be levitating constantly.

      Although, in Andrew’s case, it might be less “getting older” and more “getting repeatedly concussed”.

        Well, it’s not enough to not understand gravity, or Isaac Newton would be the most hated human of all time. You have to fall and miss the ground, for example by being distracted in just the right moment.

    Franz Reichelt, the Flying Tailor, seemed to be pretty sure he could fly when, in 1912, he tried testing a wingsuit he designed himself. By jumping from the Eiffel Tower. He could not fly.

    When I was a kid my older sister fooled me into believing that if I made daily sacrifice of a specific flower in a valley near my home at exactly 6am I’d get to fly and even eat the clouds. I did that for almost a month before my mom told me the truth.
