I think that if you put the strongest arguments for and against the flat earth theory together on the same page and with equal space, the result would not be a false balance. In fact I can't think of any better way to change flat earther minds.

They'll look for any support as an escape hatch from uncomfortable facts or conclusions. It also takes a lot of energy and ink to continuously refute perspectives based solely on indoctrination, vibes, and straight up lies.

- namuol 2y ago> In fact I can't think of any better way to change flat earther minds. You have a ruinously optimistic outlook for the average human, let alone a flat-earther.
- Denkel 2y ago"together on the same space and with equal space". If you do that, you are telling anyone that just overviews the articles that both views have the same validity and that is just a manner of disagreements between peers, and that is falling into their trap, by doimg that you are actively working FOR the flatbearth cause, even if you want to feel "fair", ypu are just the useful idiot they need to keep spreading and legitimizing. Flat earthers should no be given even a second unless it is to mock them, we have known that the earth is "round" for 2 millenia, we cannot keep discussing the same things over and over just because a bunch of narcisists want to feel like "the know better".
