Flat-Earthism has always been a very minority held view throughout history anyhow, even back in ancient times when (mistakenly) people today think there was no enlightenment and that everyone back then thought it was. The fact there's a horizon and that you can see further the higher up you are in the sky is the simplest of proofs that the Earth can't be entirely flat. Otherwise I'd be able to see Australia once I cleared enough height above where I currently reside to get past the mountains etc.

Then again, there are probably people in this world who don't believe Australia exists...!

I honestly don't know how flat-Earthers can exist among all the technology that exists.

I mean c'mon. You really think Disney or whoever wouldn't sell tickets for people to see the edge of the earth and make bank on that?

No, you wouldn't. Rayleigh scattering would blue it out.
