I took the plunge on flat earth and it was interesting to see how a compelling argument can be made out of a bunch of individual ideas that sound good on their own, but the sum of those ideas equates to some really bad thinking that crumbles when analyzed as a whole.

think flat earth has become a rallying point for people who are frustrated by technology, we live in an age of scientific wonder, and all that science is basically magic to anyone who struggles to grasp the basics of physics, which creates a feeling of helplessness that is soothed by rebelling against science by picking up the banner for things like flat earth.

Getting into flat earth does lead one to some more compelling conspiracies, such as the nature and purpose of NASA and the Antarctic, and the pentagons ability to lose trillions of dollars.
