| > They want irrefutable proof. You should have been able to provide irrefutable proof even without the $1.1M. Otherwise you just admitted having an unfounded supposition and pretending it's a fact. Again, 25 years is plenty of time to obtain irrefutable proof. I mean it's not rocket science. Put a camera on your car (or even have a caravan of cars, harder to fake), live stream the video including a GPS, driving along the known route and filming the mile markers until you get to the vast empty field that is that town. Get people on reddit or something to decide at every step which speed to have, if you should flip the wipers, this kind of thing that proves you're live. You can rent a helicopter, I mean $1.1M will cover a lot of expenses. And once you have irrefutable proof other people will just claim everyone and everything in there is part of your conspiracy setup. I mean that's the go-to explanation for any conspiracy theorist whenever they are presented with any proof, no matter how solid. So if it works for you it should also work against :). > They'll claim they proved their existence. It does no such thing You are correct. This will not prove its existence. It will prove that nobody can provide evidence to support the conspiracy theory even after having 25 years to collect it and $1.1M to motivate them to present it. > they'll only post entries online they find amusing Of course. The other entries don't exist. And they'll show you irrefutable proof of that only if you offer a prize. |
Perhaps for some odd reason, a bunch of Germans thought it'd be funny to make up a city, claim a conspiracy theory to cover it up, and posted some things about it to the Internet. Perhaps there's more to it than that and there's a great government coverup. Do I really care? Not so much. There's a bunch of people pretending there's a city. I don't know why, and I don't really care why. It's somebody else's problem.
Now, would I go to Europe for 1.1 million dollars? Sure. If I knew I'd get paid. Everything here screams I won't get paid. For the possibility of getting paid, I might even generate proof next time I'm traveling in that part of the world. But at the end of the day, I'm not dropping work deadlines on a few weeks notice for likely not getting paid.
This will absolutely not prove that nobody can provide evidence to support the conspiracy theory even after having 25 years to collect it and $1.1M to motivate them to present it. It will prove no one decided to drop everything in their life and spend a couple grand for the possibility of maybe getting paid by some marketing ploy, con artist, or otherwise.
