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?

      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.”

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