Or consider this Captain,
Your mind will not allow you to believe that flat earth could ever happen. This is called cognitive dissonance, meaning you were brainwashed from a very young age. You have seen the globe model thousands of times each and every year of your life from the crib since day one. Just look at how many corporations have this globe logo.
You are told by everyone in your life that you live on a spinning ball. Everyone that told you this also believes this same thing. Fake images taken with fisheye lenses reinforce this world view constantly in every form of media. A small group of people (NASA) control all the space programs and therefore any images from space. And of course, you will believe it without question. Then when someone dares speak against this, you lash out. You have been deceived your entire life- that is why you cannot overcome the lifelong conditioning that you have been fooled.
