Of all the bizarre things for people to believe.
The flat earth philosophy makes a point that most people, even the most educated, fail to grasp.
It's not about a literal belief that our planet is flat. It's questioning the popular narrative and not taking ideas on faith without understanding why you believe them.
Belief in something, even if it it is the truth, without understanding why you believe it, is no different from superstition.

Well it uses easily dis-proven misinformation to counter actual facts.
You may think it is just a "narrative" that swapping body fluids with someone infected with HIV greatly increases ones chance of contracting that disease. I don't have to have a virology degree to believe that. It's NOT a "superstition". And teaching kids that it is just a dumb superstition is dangerous.
I'm fine if you want to question the narrative WITH FACTS. But to try and intentionally misrepresent factual data is just wrong. To attempt to influence the young and weak-minded with those lies is wrong.
