He stated: This is not even a conspiracy theory. "Conspiracy theories aren't necessarily powerful because they make sense, they are powerful because they affirm a set of beliefs somebody already has. In February 2017, just two days before the 2017 NBA All-Star Game, superstar Kyrie Irving made some interesting claims in a podcast that ended up receiving more attention than the game. Believers know the "truth" and there are others working against the, trying to "dupe" them. Michael Marshall, project director of the Good Thinking Society in the U.K., talks about flat earth belief and its relationship to conspiracy theories and other antiscience activities.
Weill adds that varying theories have a through line - they present an in-group versus out-group narrative. and it is a very conspiracy-steeped community where people don't just believe in Flat Earth, they believe in a variety of fringe beliefs." "It is often a very religious culture, a lot of people are quite evangelical, but it doesn't need to be there is nothing inherently religious in Flat Earth theory," Weill said. In fact, that’s what journalist Kelly Weill’s new. Yes, that you can sail to the edge of the Earth and simply fall off of it. Flat Earthers now have their own theories to explain how the flat world works, as Weill discovered while embedded in the Flat Earth community, researching for her book. But it also resurrected a belief among some that the Earth is flat. That attitude has evolved over the years.
Flat-Earther origins go all the way back to the 1830s, when one man decided he personally needed to see that the earth was round to truly believe it. He built his own rocket to prove Earth wasn’t round. But "Flat-Earthers" have been around much longer.
