Flat Earthers still exist?

Mostly as a debate and rational thought experiment. Actual real flat Earthers don't really exist. The reason is this: In order to be educated enough to even argue the flat earther case, one generally is educated enough to know it isn't true.

Flat Earthers exist. Earth has to be flat because 'They' tell you it isn't. Schools, Scientists, NASA, the Government, they are allpart of the conspiracy, everything is a lie. You have to do your own research to find the truth.

Check Youtube. Some of it is joking but there are a frightening number of believers.

"Oom Paul".......Paul Kruger, famous president of South Africa, was a flat earther. The funny thing about this is that he was introduced to the first man to sail around the world solo, Joshua Slocum, and told him flat out to his face that what he was doing was impossible because the earth was flat. Slocum had completed about 80% of the journey at that stage. I'd have loved to have witnessed that meeting!

They exist, I'm afraid. Big time.

To add to what others have stated: yes, they do exist. It's become a gnostic cult with a very tenacious following, just like the 9/11 truthers or the Apollo hoax nuts. True, they are people who can't perform the simple geometry to see how ridiculous the claims that the earth is flat really are. But, sadly, there is no shortage of people that ignorant, even in developed nations. If no one could truly be dumb enough to believe the earth is flat, then no one could be dumb enough to believe that the earth is 6000 years old, or that there is a war between angels and demons going on around us right now. And beyond that, as a gnostic cult, most followers simply refuse to acknowledge the clear evidence when it is placed directly in front of them, simply because they want to believe that the earth is flat, because that makes them feel special. It means that they are among an elite few who are brilliant enough not to be fooled by "them". This modern version of flat-earth belief, often referred to as the zetetic cosmology, has been around since the mid 19th Century, and seems to be growing in recent times thanks to the internet and declining educational standards.
 
Kyrie Irving, Flat Earther, Tird Tapper, Mental AND Physical Masturbator and Royal Pain in his Mother's Bottom!!!
 
Who?

And for the record, actual genuine flat earthers do exist, and they really do believe it - it's not an intellectual exercise or a thought experiment, they actually, genuinely really honestly do believe that the world is flat. There was an early episode of the podcast Be Reasonable which featured one of them.

I'll tell you who else is a flat earther - Thomas Dolby. Yeah, this guy:
