Flat earthers aren’t real. Even the ones claiming to be are just making a show
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.
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…
Did you tell him it’s a portal to the opposite dimension, or did you lie to him?
Lol I wonder what would have happened if I did. My explanation on light bouncing back did not work.

You overestimate the intelligence of humans.
