Exactly what I believe. I don’t argue, or even acknowledge their arguments most of the time. I can never get that wasted time back. Just by arguing, they win and go away laughing because they know they’ve wasted someone’s time.Secondly, do we think that people who present as believing in Flat Earth, or reptilian royals, or nanobots in vaccines, actually genuinely believe that, or rather they amuse themselves and their audience by imagining an alternative universe in which those things are true? Some of the images of the flat Earth and what lies behind Antarctica are very intricately designed, not something we'd expect from the stupid.
I believe it’s like the wrestling “kayfabe”. It’s entertaining on one level to alter reality. However, on another level a certain percentage of people will actually come to believe the alternative.
On one level pro wrestling is interesting, because they are really good athletes, and have very good gymnastics. Similar to the imaginative renderings of “flat-earthers”
