Why do people like him think there is any legitimacy to his claims? Is there any legitimacy? I think he's stupid.
The flat earth society is alive and well. Their forum is well worth a visit. Some of the arguments are very clever. Hard to pick the poes and trolls.
I've driven over two very flat places; The Hay Plain in New South Wales is over 500 miles of nothing but 500 miles. The Nullabor Plain is bigger ,but far more interesting. I once drove 60 miles from Chicago Princeton Illinois. I later ate a LOT of corn,as well as the biggest,best, T bone I'd ever seen.Discovered Corona.
To simply dismiss an argument as stupid is an ad hominem and mentally lazy..Try explaining why;it may be harder than you think.
I thought the reasons for the Earth not being flat are obvious. It's an oblate spheroid.
