You do realise, dont you, that anything as big as the earth is impossible to be flat as it would just collpase due to that thing called gravity? Or are you saying that every single scientist who has studied gravity and the earth is on the illuminati's payroll? All hundreds of thousands of them?

Look, he is convinced that all hundreds of thousands of scientists are all wrong, and he knows better. There is nothing whatsoever that you could say to shake his mad conviction 1 mm. It is a waste of time. Any query is either dismissed with insults, or occasionally some garbled insane riposte.
Some moons back, I asked him a simple question - Why does the moon look upside down when viewed from Australia?". I did so in the hope that actually thinking about that rather simple conundrum would help lead him maybe a step away from his blind certainty. For ages, he refused to answer and eventually came up with a puerile example about the word "perspective" and a crescent lamp viewed from opposite ends of a room. A but like those infuriatingly stupid pseudo-science vids he swallows whole, and is so fond of linking to, but a factor or two more risible and pathetic.
And then he blocked me, because even such a simple question is delusionally perceived as some sort of stalking, unfair, attack. It's not. It's a simple question, with no baggage. But his brain can't accept that, the answer doesn't compute but his delusions convince him that cannot be the case, and so it must be the question that is at fault.
If he can't even understand such a simple critique, what is the point of talking about anything with such a person?
