Supposedly, flat earthers started as a thought experiment for scientific skepticism; acknowledging assumptions your knowledge is based on, even the most basic things.
For the record, I have no idea if that’s true and a quick search doesn’t provide any sources, so I feel if you have one, sharing it would be in the spirit of the conversation.
If i had one, I’d give it. Unfortunately, it’s a claim I found a source for once and now lives in the back of my mind, which is why I can’t commit more than a “supposedly”. Amusingly enough, that’s exactly the kind of casual acceptance the organization was supposedly designed to combat. So it goes.
Ah, live with the endless itch of not knowing if this has something to it or going down a rabbit hole of researching the origins of a dumb modern conspiracy theory. The choices that keep life interesting.
