I don't think reason works with flat earthers, with creationists or conspiracy theorists in general.
They'll cling on to any piece of information that confirms their world view and ignore the rest.
- LoSboccacc 8y agoPart of the issue is that most of the arguments about flat earth are easy to me in layman's terms and hard to debunk without going deep mathematically. And there are lots of them, see this famous example https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ax_YpQsy88 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ax_YpQsy88 Now let's assume that a flat eaether believer is lacking the sort of knowledge required to instance why these "proofs" are wrong, how you going to debate them with the knowledge gap? You have to either fill that first or convert all your arguments into layman terms, making it extremely costly and time consuming. And so their view goes unchallenged.
