Ye, I agree with you. I made the comment as a joke, but I don’t actually believe these people are stupid. This is a generalisation, but I think they’re largely uneducated and brainwashed, but still very intelligent, and curious people. You can see this in some of the experimentation that they do that’s really sound from a scientific method POV. The internet is littered with flat earthers disproving themselves.

The best ones admit they’re wrong, and abandon flat earth. I have nothing but respect for those people.
