I feel like we are in an argument loop. Let me try to explain my position in full detail for you and maybe we can reach a mutual understanding of each other.
I have been curious about the paranormal and open minded to conspiracy theory since a young age. The space industry has always intrigued me but I saw a documentary about moon landing conspiracy in the 90's that kinda blew my mind. I didn't reflect much on this again till the 2000s. I had gotten access to high speed internet for the first time and decided to jump down a paranormal video rabbit hole. I when hardcore into this after I saw a few videos about UFOs and 9/11/01. I had no interest in anything else for months. I was so obsessed that I was making DVDs of these topics in bulk and giving them to other people to spread the world. This was before Facebook and social networking was new. I was as passionately convinced of my beliefs as you are about yours. I felt a compulsion to wake up people to the "real" world. After a year or two, I became a little numb to it and pretty much gave up my evangelizing.
I have always considered conspiracy theory my main hobby. I don't watch many television programs or network news. I try to get my info from as close to the source as I can and as many perspectives as possible. I have a drive to know the real truth and my perspective is always changing. I am sceptical to all of my beliefs.
Flat Earth... There is something about this theory. That is, there are a lot of arguments that make it look feasible. That is the most frustrating part about this theory for people like me. It's easy to make a point or 2 that will make the average person scratch their head.
The thing is, like with every theory, you have to weigh the arguments from both sides and see for yourself which argument is more valid. When it comes down to it, ball earth has way more going for it. Have you tried reaching against your argument?
Sounds like you are at least triple digit IQ. I've invested some time into the flat Earth thought experiment in the past. It just never "clicked" enough for me to abandon my preconceptions of the shape of earth. There are many more holes to explain in flat theory than in the sphere theory. The amount of people that the flat conspiracy world require, breaks the theory for me. How many pilots, military, ship operators, etc. would it require to be in on this global conspiracy, yet no one has leaked? That such a massive and coordinated conspiracy could exist, is silly to me

Happy thanks giving, btw
I spent most of my life reaching against my argument and am willing to hear globe proofs if you wish to provide any
I did well in school, particularly in math and science
I’ve been on advanced math programs since my earliest grades and that continued through high school
I took chemistry, physics, earth and space sciences, and all of the advanced math courses
I’ve won any school level chess tournament at every school I’ve attended and have been to provincial tournaments
I was student body co-president, valedictorian and recipient of the academic achievement award for the graduating class
I was accepted to 100% of the colleges and universities I applied to, though I did not attend
I’m self employed, running a financial planning/estate planning practice and I have a house and family
I’ve been referred to as the smart one among my groups of friends for as long as I can remember
This isn’t a self stroking session, I’m just helping to illustrate that I’m not completely deluded with this
I’m canadian so mine was back in October but I wish you a good weekend all the same
If you want to suggest some of your strongest globe proofs, I’ll consider them with an open mind
