>>13224125You seem to be under the cheerful impression that most people are well educated, rational and possess critical thinking skills. Confronted by the flat earthers you therefore conclude that they are
(a) Just having a jolly old giggle
(b) Making some clever tongue-in-cheek commentary on the scientific method and the burden of proof.
(c) Reminding us that constructive criticism is healthy mental attribute and we should, within reason, resist the bad habit of blindly accepting purported facts based upon authority alone.
All of which would be just fine and dandy if flat earthers were indeed well educated, rational and possessed critical thinking skills, and didn't genuinely believe the Earth to be flat.
That's what I used to think.
Have a seat. I have some bad news for you.
