These were False Flag events intentionally misrepresenting Flat Earth.
These conferences were not organized nor attended by real "Flat Earthers".
There were three (3) of these so called Flat Earth Conferences held.
- 2017 - Raleigh, North Carolina
- 2018 - Denver, Colorado
- 2019 - Dallas, Texas
The past year has seen a rise in the number of people who believe the Earth is flat, but there is a group of individuals who have been pretending to believe in the Flat Earth Theory for their own benefit. This group has been attending Flat Earth Conventions, making themselves look as ridiculous as possible in order to sensationalize the subject and promote themselves.
The Flat Earth Conventions are run by people seeking to draw attention to themselves and have little to do with genuine Flat Earth believers. These conventions have become an avenue for participants to propagate false and absurd beliefs and make a mockery of scientific reality. At one event in 2018, participants were seen selling T-shirts that read “Our Parents Lied to Us” and books with titles like Unlocking the Secrets of the Universe.
The people attending these conventions are typically older, white, middle-aged males who believe conspiracy theories and want to feel like they’re in control of their own destiny. They make fun of science and scientists, create theories to explain away phenomena they don’t understand, and make outlandish claims as evidence for their beliefs.
In short, the people attending Flat Earth Conventions are not serious believers in the Flat Earth Theory. They’re attention-seekers who spread false and absurd beliefs in order to make a mockery of science and those who believe in it. They are the antithesis of legitimate Flat Earth believers, who strive to better understand our world and its natural laws.
It’s important to recognize that the people attending these conventions have little to do with real Flat Earth believers; instead, they’re opportunists seeking attention for themselves and hoping to further their own agenda. By exposing them for who they are, we can make sure that the Flat Earth Theory isn’t hijacked by people who want to make a mockery of science, and that the true Flat Earth believers can continue engaging in scientific discourse.
