Only 66% of Millenials believe the earth is round?

I suppose at the farthest edge of my imagination, that of the several celestial bodies we can see using a Walmart telescope being spherical in shape, that our earth could be flat as the exception.  However, using higher quality telescopes we know that all other planets we have observed are also round.  So how is it that 33% of people in the know-it-all time of their lives can’t make the tiniest of relational stretches.  I'm assuming, for the sake of discussion, that flat earthers believe that all images of earth taken from space are fake.

where does that statistics come from?  And how many % believe that we live in a simulation (like the Matrix) ?

I read that article too.  I'd find it hard to believe except for the fact that I've 'spoken' to flat earthers (and chemtrailers and other 'ers')  here on Steemit.

Totally irrational....

It takes all kinds to make a "world" as they say.  Opinion diversity is essential for our continuing survival on this celestial ball.

@chuck2u32 all resteems services are scams. Do not waste your money on them. Take a look at this post:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@tarazkp/housekeeping-resteem-services-and-lockout-voters

This pretty much sums up how worthless resteem services are. They pry on the new members and take the little bit of SBD you earn away from you.

This includes the spammer & scammer lovebot.

Unfortunately this shows how bad the schooling system is - the removal of the ability for rational thought and scientific deduction based on facts is the focus of the system. While i would say that mainstream media is nothing but lies and propaganda, i would also say that the low IQ content of you-tube is frighteningly worse. You should Watch the crappy movie called "idiocracy"- it shows just where we are heading....

Thanks for the info on Idiocracy.  This is a huge problem in our society.  My grandchildren are being home schooled, but I fear that people don't know what they don't know due to their news selections.
