To me this is like reading that locks are now obsolete because somebody invented a way to unlock them just by touching them. On one hand it makes me angry that somebody would invent such a thing. On the other hand it means locks have always had this hidden weakness which would eventually be figured out, and now here we are. So what do we do next? I mean, in terms of things that might actually help?

So what do we do next? I mean, in terms of things that might actually help?

Become a society with strong critical thinking skills who values people based on reasoned takes based on experience and science over people who value rapid, loud appeals to emotion.

One piece of that is recognizing that doing things like putting flat earthers up in high altitude planes or near space is a waste of resources that could've been spent doing something better.

EDIT: that last paragraph was an incomplete thought. Individual flat earthers have done the whole scientific method thing, and proved themselves incorrect and stepped away from it. How do you handle the people that refuse to be convinced? If there's no level evidence that a person will accept and they're out in the forest commons chopping down trees to build a tower to whatever is on top of earth, how do you tolerate it at a societal level? It's still an incomplete thought.
