--- Quote from: tom66 on February 24, 2020, 08:15:17 am ---It is unclear why, if the world is indeed flat, that this needs to be hidden from the general population in such a proposed grand conspiracy - perhaps it would trigger insanity in a Lovecraftian monster sense.

I have looked into this as well. Opinions vary. One claim is that it would confirm god because the Bible claims a flat Earth.

Except...it doesn't. :P

schmitt trigger:
According to a NYT interview with his publicist, he mentions the following:

"Mr. Shuster, his publicist, maintained that Mr. Hughes’s professed flat-Earth beliefs were simply intended to garner money and publicity for his stunts.
Mr. Hughes “didn’t really care if the Earth was flat, and was fully ready to concede his error once he could see it with his own eyes in a final stunt that he was working towards,” the post read."



In plain English, he was milking gullible people.

I think their are many many trolls, but I also think you under estimate the number of idiots. There's also seems to be a notable faction who believe in a father in the sky and take a book some goat/camel herders wrote as a factual document that supports the flat earth.
