Postmodern Education

It seems that researchers are blaming YouTube on the Flat Earth phenomena.
Despite steps taken to counteract problematic material YouTube is still a hotbed of hoaxes and fake news -- a problem that's become so prevalent the site recently announced it is changing its AI in a bid to improve matters. But now the scope of the problem has really come to light, as new research suggests that the increasing number of Flat Earthers can be attributed to conspiracy videos hosted on the site.
I thought we settled this in the 16th century.  Of course, postmodern education has nothing to do with the idea that the Earth is flat.

Actually,

I think the ancient Egyptians settled that. They knew the earth was round. In fact, IIRC, even before the Egyptians, the Sumerians knew the earth was round.
