yeah uninteresting in its details and rationalisation but interesting from an epistemological viewpoint, the nonlinear epistemic drift of the free agents who practice flat earthism, the insistence on intellectual denialism almost redeemed in their steadfastness to defend a belief so attacked by the sheer weight of the history of science, as well as the potential for a standpoint which at first glance seem ludicrous, to potentially lead to serious discoveries about the reality of life, esoteric and exoteric, if pursued critically ideally we should be incubating hundreds of cells of human beings who adopt viewpoints similar to or as radical as flat earthism appears today, and then fund them and arrive at new scientific paradigms through that. Today we only have inside and outside of academia. What if we led a world of deliberate epistemic pluralism?

I'm certain a flat earther could fly around the earth with a view from space but still assume they're being tricked kinda based tbh the funniest part to me is their ability to organise conferences about the topic but they can't accept basic science
