The New Yorker had a good piece about people who attend the annual flat earth convention: https://www.newyorker.com/science/elements/looking-for-life-on-a-flat-earth https://www.newyorker.com/science/elements/looking-for-life-... >> He described the modern flat-Earth community as a confluence of three strains of thought. “There’s the conspiratorial,” he said. “It’s like, ‘That’s kind of weird with the moon landing. Maybe I’ll look into it. What else could they be lying about?’ ” The second is “the scientific-minded,” people who “just want to go out and do the experiments.” The third, Davidson said, “is the spiritual—people that want to say, ‘Wait a minute, what would happen if I took the Bible literally?’ ” In style and substance, the flat-Earth movement is a close cousin of creationism.
