If true, it doesn't actually change anything and calls for no kinetic action from the layman.
It's so outlandish for such little intellectual payoff. It doesn't provide for any great revelations and entry to the belief system is practically non-existent.
It's low-effort and silly on its face. There are other fish to fry, and worrying so much on something so unimportant compared to all the other shit that's going on in this topsy-turvy world makes someone hyping up flat-earth seem paranoid for paranoia's sake.
Agreed and well said. All topics in the Time they are relevant.
That said, anytime someone posts a topic like this I usually find myself asking "is there really an overwhelming problem with this discussion? I must have missed it."
Not to dismiss OP, I upvoted him. Why not? It's a lazy Sunday.

Not a flat earther myself (yet!) but I will say I agree with BOTH of you. Especially your last sentence. Well said.
So why care? You’re not answering the question he poses - why does it matter so much to debate if it’s so pointless?
Don't get me wrong, I'm open to all theories, and I'm fine with their discussion.
But flat earth is just one among them that is so nebulous as to be a waste of effort in our current landscape.
Hollow earth theory is far more compelling by comparison, especially if you consider DUMBs.
Why people would hyper-fixate on the former instead of the latter just seems a little wonky to me.
