<s>[INST] I'm trying to communicate with a person who believes in a flat Earth
Here is what I posted to him:
I'd like to discuss the concept of a flat Earth. I'm not here to mock or belittle you, but to understand your perspective on this topic. I am here to respectfully share my own perspective as well.

However, I want to make one thing clear. A discussion isn't truly effective when it's based on unverifiable information or assumptions. To have a productive conversation, I'd like to establish some ground rules:

1. We will only consider verifiable evidence and credible sources.
2. We will not rely on assumptions or unproven claims.
3. We will rely on the scientific method to guide our conversation.

I'd love to start by understanding what sparked your interest in the flat Earth theory. What led you to this perspective?[/INST]
