There is a psychological state where the mind convinces a person that their
convictions are true, even when obviously not.
The mind is a subtle thing where rational thought is meant to shift our emotional
state. But imagine where the emotional state shifts the mind.
I know how difficult this sounds, but living with a family member who did this,
you start to realise it is their way of coping.
It is hard to accept but we are all somewhere on this continum and flat earthers
are very near the not sane end. It is not their fault, and ofcourse there is nothing
wrong, except all the facts. But so much helps them to believe like the conspiracy
is so deep, and only they see the truth. 9/11 hoaxers equally feel the same.
Once you know this is where they are, you just need to accept eccentrics make
life the rich tapestry it is, and if they are happy, that is a good thing.
