Will they finally accept that the Earth is round, or will they say that it’s fake and the windows on the space stations are monitors?

      You overestimate the intelligence of humans.

      It started out as a debating group, working with an obviously idiotic concept. Unfortunately it ended up attracting enough idiots who actually believed them that it drove/scared off the original debaters.

      It’s a fascinating phenomenon, quite akin to religious indoctrination.

      This is my plan if I ever meet one - Just absolutely deny that they believe it themselves.

      Since the whole game is “I’m better than the masses because I claim to have secret knowledge” I’ll just deny that claim.

      Probably along the lines of “Flat earth was maybe worth a small chuckle in 2006 but the joke is really old and played out now.”

        Yeah just answer with “Flat earthers don’t exist. don’t believe me? Do your own research”

      My uncle legit thinks it is flat. Granted he has little education. I once had to explain how a mirror worked…
