We need to understand that flat earthers don’t lack the knowledge or experience to accept the evidence that can be made objective, but that they refuse a worldview that is not made by them.
The round earth viewpoint is very boring to discuss. It is round, obviously, but anything fun about that feels like math to talk about. A myth about a flat earth feels mystical and like you’re in a secret group. There’s an appeal in believing something that skeptics have a hard time understanding. I know, I’ve been both in my life, and the struggle is real. (Never a flat earther, though)
