Ah, don't worry. They're often too stupid to realise that themselves
While it's certainly possible for a person to be stupid, I find that very often it's more accurate to describe a person as ignorant. In this context, I don't mean that as an insult; I mean literal ignorance, as in the described person has not been exposed to relevant information, or possibly has been conditioned not to accept that information if it is provided.
It's anecdotal, but most stupid people I meet aren't stupid, just missing or unable to accept certain information. This especially applies to young people.
Ye, I agree with you. I made the comment as a joke, but I don't actually believe these people are stupid. This is a generalisation, but I think they're largely uneducated and brainwashed, but still very intelligent, and curious people. You can see this in some of the experimentation that they do that's really sound from a scientific method POV. The internet is littered with flat earthers disproving themselves.
The best ones admit they're wrong, and abandon flat earth. I have nothing but respect for those people.
