There is actually a rational basis for it. They have found that govt and establishment has lied to them about so many things, that when the govt says the earth is a globe, they assume that is a lie like everything else. (And the moon mission was lie too, and there is no base in Antartica - another lie.) I can respect that.

The problem is, they are too innumerate to do basic measurements to find out for themselves what kind of geometry they are moving around on. (Only 100 miles travel needed to pretty much rule out an overall flat geometry.)

There are also anomalies at large scale geometry caused by the laws of physics described by General Relativity.

Like, for example, the Earth is more flat to the ISS than to a geostationary satellite. This is not semantics, it is **literally** flat if you orbit it fast and close enough.

Most physicists don't understand these nuances and questions, and that contributes to the entrenchment.

In my opinion Flat Earth is a well orchestrated psychological operation, that includes brilliant brainwashing techniques, to keep people away from the idea of space colonization. For reasons.

That is actually a more promising approach that trying to teach them non-euclidean geometry. An evil lying govt is their core belief. So if you can convince them the govt is doing a psyop to stop space colonization, they would totally embrace that.

A part of the "Deep State". You could call it that.

Some want to go to Mars, some want to build underground cities, some want the status quo, and some (believe or not) want to force "the Second Coming of Christ".

"The government" (the elites, actually) is a collection of the craziest people on Earth. Power does that to people.
