I think we must argue against bad and/or crazy ideas. If we don't soon people will attack the Capitol....
A good way to argue against crazy assumptions like flat Earth I think is to realize that while there are only a few consistent thus possibly true physical explanations of the world, there are an infinite number of crazy and untrue and inconsistent explanations.
So when someone proposes a crazy idea, we can ask why not these other 10 ideas which are just as crazy as flat Earth? Why not square Earth? Why not Dodecahedron Earth? Why not Triangular Earth? Why not Flat Sun?
