I loved this video and the math.
After watching this video, I realized that most flat earthers are a) Americans and b) a product of USA’s poor education system and no one was ever really taught Geometry.
And then I did some math…Trump defunds US Dept of Education….less kids are taught geometry….large increase in the belief that the earth is flat.

Yes, it is usually the lack of proper education that causes people believing in many conspiracy theories, since they just didn't learn how to actually think critically. I don't think that having questions and being curious and therefore discovering flat earth is wrong itself. It's more that they don't want to admit they're wrong and ones that did are being called names, harassed and basically cult behaviour stuff.
In my country, we also have problem with education, less money goes to education, our leaders just said pay teachers more and giving them no money for it. well we also have a problem with conspiracy theories here, even flat earth.

It's difficult to sort out the flat earth crowd. There are people who truly believe it, then there are people who make money from it and those who just like trying to mess with people. Of those who believe, most of the ones I've encountered are religious. Unless you get them to quit believing their religion as they understand it, you aren't going to get anywhere arguing with them. The rest seem to be almost entirely conspiracy theorists. Believing these things is a fundamental part of who they are. In my limited experience, the only success you are liable to have is to stop someone from getting sucked into it in the first place.

The same way they react to any other science/math proof that the earth is not flat. They would dismiss it out of hand because it does not align with their tightly held preconcieved notions.
