Why Do Flat Earth Believers Still Exist?

submitted by BSR

Ars Technica's senior science editor John Timmer explains why, despite centuries of evidence, some people will still argue that the Earth is flat.

Every last flat earther is trolling so they get a free ride on Musk's or Branson's suborbitals.

Crazy... like a fox...

My take is that most are trolling, but the trolls have duped a few particularly moronic individuals to the point that they're true believers. I'd say no one's dumb enough, except that I've had too many interactions with humanity.

Way too advanced for idiot flat earthers.

All you need to know that is that we have footage of the earth ROTATING on it's axis.

(And anyone can send their own camera high enough to watch the earth rotate)

Also the navy park their ships under the horizon (about 40 miles away from a target) so that there is no line of sight. Since their guns shoot in an arc, you don't need line of sight, so might as well keep the ship invisible.

Is the word "idiot" really necessary?

Good point, the word "idiot" is completely redundant when describing a flat earther :-)
