Flat Earthers: it’s not funny anymore

I remember in the early days of the Flat Earth internet frenzy, people were still wondering if this is a joke that some trolls perhaps have taken too far. To our horror today, we have discovered that it wasn’t trolls after all. These are people that actually believe that the Earth is flat, they have books, conferences, youtube channels, wikis, facebook pages and whole communities discussing this. These are people that have thrown away all scientific progress in the past 2 Millenia. They have decided to carry the mental burden of believing that Gravity is a lie, that light traveling in straight lines is a lie, that Galilean relativity is a lie. And that every government, pilot, ship captain, geologian, astronomer is in on the conspiracy. And they would rather accept this (and a much longer list) than to accept the Earth’s true shape.
