My title might be a bit hyperbolic, but stuff like this worries me. I love to read and I love reading on a kindle. This has been going on for a while, but it has now reached absurd levels.

Flat Earth adherents? What's their dirty secret?

No secret, I just used to think they were being stubbornly dense, like goofy idiots. His video contended that it's more malicious than that, born out of evangelical arrogance and an unfulfilled need to be smarter and more "moral" than everyone else.

I feel like I turned out similarly, except the exact opposite.

To me, it's really, really important to be correct. Not to think I'm correct, mind you, but to actually be correct. One of my fears, therefore, is to be wrong about something without realizing it, especially if other people do realize that I'm wrong.

I wonder what that says about me.
