If the word defeat is being used in any sense, then no, they didn't change what they think.

Please leave them there.
But the other ones who weren't there still moved the goalpost
They did that before the trip. There was “infighting” as the top dummies in the space tried to badmouth and discredit the ones going as “traitors”. It’s all just a handful of evil people trying to make money off their grift.
Yeah they were saying the flat earthers who accepted were paid actors or traitors. They claimed the whole thing was fake. Or that there would be a sun simulator at work. And even that looking up at the sky doesn't tell you anything about the earth, you can only look down to tell something about the earth.
A lot of them are straight up grifters, doing it to troll or have untreated mental health issues. Of course a combination will do as well. They prey on easily swayed people, who like to think they know the real truth and everyone else is being deceived. In a world where there are so many people and everybody is linked together through the internet, it's harder and harder to think of yourself as an individual that matters. So joining a special group of elites that understand the world in a more fundamental way than even top scientists is very attractive. I sympathize with the people who get duped by people like flat earthers. It says a lot that something as easily disproven and as wrong as the flat earth still gets some traction.
Big up for the final experiment dude to put up the money and organize it all. I hope it convinces even some people flat earthers are wrong and crazy, then it will be worth it.
I don't think we should leave lead poisoning out of any discussion involving crazy humans. An entire generation had their brains cooked by it.
“idk man, science is wrong all the time…”
While Greek philosophers like Pythagoras and Aristotle eventually proved the Earth was spherical
Where did they learn it? (Rhymes with "Kneejipt*)
Actually, it's good to question things. But only to find out one can demolish every fact into solipsism or a similar concept. After that one has to accept reality, or at least consider trying to live within the current rule set of reality.
For example, I do believe there is a chance we're living in the matrix, on a flat earth, or whatever. But that possibility does not need to be proven, or even disproven, before I continue living life with the perspective and questions I have. I try to be good, in a way that makes me happy to be me.
I did a LOT of psychedelics, weekly acid trips and monthly DMT departures were common. I've met what some call God. But I just come back to this planet and I only talk about my beliefs when people want to talk about it. I don't think any perspective holds more truth than another, like atheism, religion, spirituality and even sacred geometry.
We come together as individuals and a round earth seems extremely plausible and is the main belief. It does not hurt anybody, so I just accept it. There is no reason to chase something that eventually would not matter.
