Skepticism, Science & Pseudoscience

Everyone believes that Earth is spherical. Spherical-Earthers are sheeple who believe what they are told.

Believing that Earth is flat automatically makes you special. It makes you an outsider, a hero, a bearer of secret wisdom, elevated over everyone else.
By parroting baseless speculation about Flat Earth, you are automatically a bold scientist.

Flat-Earthers imagine themselves to be wise by imagining everyone else to be stupid.




For example, I once saw a Youtube-video of some Flat-Earther. He mused how smart the Flat-Earthers are and how one day everything we know about the world will come crushing down and how the scientists will come to the Flat-Earthers, begging them to explain to them how the world works.

And then he had a hearty chuckle, knowing that one day his ability to parrot evidence-free speculation would elevate him to his rightful position above everyone else.
