Flat earth went away for a long time and between then and It's highly suspect time of major resurgence: The few who picked it out of the dustbin never produced any worth-while discoveries that they didn't grift from physicists who were genuinely on ontological frontiers. In the interval, tremendous advancements were made in fields pertaining to astrology, aeronautics and space-exploration. Flat earth attempts to dismiss the veracity of all that and It's tangible benefits in the form of satellites and other forms of technology with an opposition fallacy and misdirection regarding actual cover-ups and misinformation. NASA is indeed lying but not about the shape of the Earth.
