Every map you'll ever use in your life is flat.

For all practical intents and purposes, the ground you walk upon is flat.

What I want to know is, why does anyone care if NASA has orchestrated a world-wide deception campaign?

In practical, real-world terms, from the average working-class perspective, what difference does it make?

Why does any of this matter?

And why are people so quick to vilify and dehumanize people who hold this viewpoint?

Do people who rail against the "idiot" flat-earthers also believe all Muslims should be thrown into the nearest insane asylum?

Isn't any "sincerely held belief" afforded the same protections as the other "religions"?

At what point should we force everyone on this perfectly flat planet to think and believe exactly the same thing?

It is important to maintain a constant awareness of and vigilant respect of our epistemological limits.
