    My brother is a flat-earther. He talks about it all the time. One of these days I’m gonna throw him right off the edge.

      I’m very sorry that you have to deal with that. Truly. I hope you are able to maintain the relationship and wish you the best.

      Is he mentally unstable or unhealthy besides that one symptom? History of mental illness? TBI? What would happen if you took him on an airplane trip around the world from say NYC to London to Tokyo to LA back to NYC? I’ve never encountered such insanity except for online (in more ways than one heh) so this is pretty interesting to me.

        Because they believe the North Pole is the center of the flat earth, I don’t think this would convince him.

        Taking a flight a long the southern hemisphere, though… flat earthers literally believe there are no flights between South America, southern Africa, Australia, new Zealand etc., because they’re too far apart
