I'm not going to argue about the shape and how the shape of earth itself matters, I want to help you understand why it matters if you're being lied to - if that isn't already obvious. If people are lying to you and you don't care, then quite simply you don't care about yourself or others. Every generation that has been lied is being not only disrespected but is being enslaved.
Lying is fundamental to human beings and it destroys trust in relationships. The reasons we have for lying are of no surprise, and they range from innocent to sinister: We don’t want to hurt the people we care about, we want to '''control''' the perception other people have of us, we want to '''maintain or raise our status''', we lie to protect our own selfish interests, and we want to '''control others'''. But as fundamental as lying seems to be to human beings, trusting relationships is also a basic human need, and as we all know, lying destroys trust.
I personally don't believe all scientists are lying, they've been lied to - and can unknowingly serve to propagate these lies, while perhaps innocently hiding under the word "theory". Meanwhile there is a major risk of going against the rhetoric; including loosing your job and becoming blackballed. After paying for your education (and often will be in debt half their lives) that dictates that we "Stand on the shoulders of the giants", most people can't afford to defend the truth.
