As I have written before, flat-earthers cognitively live in a very strange world. A world that's effectively like the Bronze Age with modern technology inserted into it.
In other words, a world where yes, maybe we have some technology, but we still have no idea how the universe works, we know very little about physics, astronomy or the world itself, we have no idea what's beyond the visible sky, and most of what we do is nothing but guesswork and religious beliefs. They seem to think that all scientists are nothing but cult members who blindly believe what they are told and never question anything, and who most certainly don't know what's going on in the universe, or what the shape of the Earth even is. And, somehow, this cult spans the entire of the Earth, all countries, all the hundreds of thousands if not outright millions of scientists, all of whom unanimously agree on the same belief system without question, without skepticism, without corroboration, completely blindly.
Just consider how incongruent that world view is: It would imply that we live in a world where we have developed measurement devices that can measure to the atomic level as well as distances of hundreds of kilometers to the micrometer accuracy, where we have developed atomic clocks that can measure time to the picosecond accuracy, where we have developed advanced aircraft, navigation systems and weapons that can target and track targets at incredible accuracy, where we have developed GPS systems that can tell your exact location on Earth to the centimeter accuracy at any given moment, and a multitude of other extremely advanced and accurate devices...
but at the same time we have absolutely no idea what the distance is between Cape Town and Buenos Aires.
All that super-advanced super-precise measurement technology, all that super-advanced transportation technology, and we have absolutely no idea what the distances between cities is. Pure guesswork based on a completely made-up world map, and something that nobody can measure.
Just consider the sheer cognitive dissonance required to have that kind of view of reality.
