I'm pretty sure the original flat earth society was a joke, the equivalent of modern day trolls. It's shocking to see that it's actually being taken seriously. More importantly I think it shows how some people think. If you can just pile up mountains of shitty shitty shitty evidence people will say 'wow, look at all this evidence for a flat earth/9/11 truth/Obama is a Muslim' and not pay attention at all to the quality of the evidence.
My normal real life reply to any conspiracy kook (I actually met a flat earther in real life) is: what does it matter if the earth is flat, since we all died in 2012 and live in a simulated universe anyway"
