Flat Earth Lunacy

Bravo old man. Bravo.

The growing anti-intellectualism and science debunking, tin-foil hat conspiracies that infest the internet is a huge concern for all rational humans, and we've covered those various topics and theories at length.

Obviously the internet allows such things to propagate, as autodidactic morons are allowed to communicate and share pseudo-science at high speed and with little need for pause or even thought. Just look at 9/11, chemtrails, False Flags, Crisis Actors, Pizzagate, Illuminati, elections, asassinations and God knows what else.

But "Flat Earth" seems to be one that has its own infernal engine, and is growing every day. There's clearly a huge crossover between Flat Earthers and Creationists and anti-vaxxers and all manner of credulous spastics, glued to their monitors for hours on end as their spongey brains go into stasis, but why is it such a popular and discussed movement?

I follow a few on Twitter, for giggles, and the delusion is almost radioactive. And there's a recent-ish documentary film now on Netflix - "Beyond The Curve" - which tries to get into the heads of this subculture, who think NASA are faking it, satellites aren't real, and there's a thousand foot ice wall surrounding the entire (flat) Earth

But why now? Why is the "round Earth" hypothesis under "renewed" attack? The idea of a flat Earth is so scientifically prehistoric it hasn't really been a consensus since about 600 BC. It's as archaic and mad as Sun gods and human sacrifice.

Why is it a thing in 2019?
