I think it may be more of a matter of selective learning or at least selective retention. People block out or brain-dump the parts that go against their agenda.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

It's round, and flat like a disk, with a big dome sky with pretty tiny lights at night.

Asimov famously said :

"John, when people thought the earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the earth was spherical, they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together."

PS everyone should give that source (a brief essay by Asimov) a read, it's fantastic

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.
