Of course I'm interested in gaining knowledge. What startles me is that every flat earth believer I speak to is so reluctant to share knowledge

If the world is flat, why do you want it to be some big secret? Why do you shy away from giving basic answers to questions about the world? Why are you so reluctant to have a rational discussion about it, under the guise of "oh I'm just so busy"?

You are giving up. It's what you do.

I'm more than happy to learn. You just expect learning to mean I believe everything you say. Asking questions is the best way to learn.
