I&#x27;ve been perversely interested in this Flat Earth movement for a few months. There are a lot of long, stunningly stupid, vehemently argued YouTube videos out there from flat earthers. There are a couple of basic science-minded people who take them on, often with some pretty entertaining results. But one thing is clear is that the flat earthers simply aren&#x27;t listening. It goes a lot deeper than misunderstandings of facts or what they see when they walk outside. It&#x27;s really hard to explain such weaponized ignorance. They aren&#x27;t asking questions, they don&#x27;t want to know, they just want to tear down the establishment (by exposing secret inside knowledge) in whatever way they can. It&#x27;s psychological and goes much deeper than beliefs.
