> Why not focus on taking the baby steps needed to fix society as it currently is, rather than preach shit that’ll push people away and make you look crazy? In general, I disagree with this. Flat-earth is over the line you've drawn between "this has far-reaching implications" and "crazy shit. Ignore." Know that for most people the Holocaust is over their line. Same with Blood libel, 9/11, covid conspiracy, etc. If you want to be an advocate for the truth, you have to be smart enough to go where the evidence leads, brave enough to tell people with what you believe, and be humble enough to be willing to look crazy. Persuasion without these principles leads to spreading propaganda.
