The supply of actual people that think the earth is flat and aren’t trolling far exceeds the supply of people that want to mock a group that largely doesn’t really exist.
There are a couple of dozen of people that seriously think the earth is flat, and a billion people ready to mock them for it.
It’s kind of punching down at shadows.
ITT we've never been around fundimentalist christians or other sorts of easily manipulated counter-culture types
it's more than a couple dozen people.
i'll concede the point that its far, far fewer than those who feel otherwise, and that they like to hate on each other, but the idea that this is tiny and growing smaller is just not true. the surge in homeschooling, for example, would suggest otherwise...
Science illiteracy looks less like someone vocally exposing that the world is flat, and more like someone who has never considered the topology of the earth from a perspective other than their own eyes.
Your first sentence contradicts your second.
