    It’s not unreasonable, if you’re so fed up with being lied to that you only believe what you see with your own two eyes.

    And that you see when you look at the horizon is usually flat earth.

    My issue with flat earthers is that they’re inconsistent with the whole “I believe what I see with my own two eyes” thing and hold other beliefs completely on faith alone with the same fervor.

      But they don’t use their eyes. If they used their eyes they would know that Earth is roughly spherical. Just like people have known for thousands of years

      Nah, there are many tests the poorest of homeless could do in modern times that prove the Earth is a sphere. The people that honestly believe it are either stupid to the point of being a detriment to society, or dishonest contrarians that are so shit that they’re … a detriment to society.

      Humanity hasn’t been subject to natural selection for so long that completely brainless morons do exist in droves, and it’s frankly terrifying. Humanity is doomed, and it’s because far too many “good” people do not understand the natural forces that drove us to try and control our environment.

      I hear you, and agree. But, as you point out, their inconsistency do tend to make me believe that they are beyond stupid, or just very, very bad people. Don’t know what I prefer. If stupid isn’t fixable (it is if the stupid person(s) acknowledge their lack of knowledge, but only a good person(s) seem to be able to come to such conclusion), then I don’t know.
