Sorry but I'm not going to further engage with a conspiracy theorist who's trying to damage public perception of the jabs. I've contacted moderators.

Almost like there's an Incompleteness Theorem somewhere in there or something?

Being large has even more advantages. The world is much smaller (scientific progress metaphor). More resources needed per person (bigger economy). Everything will be built way more roomy. Can ride polar bears, maybe dinosaurs.

The desire to be smaller doesn't stem from a place of rationality.

That conspiracy theory has already been debunked by Independent Fact Checkers.

English is the most suitable as a global language because it conveys more information per syllable than any other language.

It seems contradictory to preach enlightenment since you could be working towards enlightenment instead of preaching. Evangelical Christians don't have that issue.

Pascal was right, Christianity is the rational choice, even compared to all other religions.

Believing in hell is the strategy against sinning.
