personally i'm 100% sold on other crackpot theories like the interdimensional aliens, because that fits neatly into widely reported modern experiences and basically every vaguely religious culture's beliefs ever. the only conspiracy there would be that these entities now want to remain somewhat hidden. this conspiracy relies only on the incompetence of secular physicists or "science skeptical experts" (which is really easy because all of these types all suffer from intellectual insecurities typically for good reason). secular skeptics have historically always been a vocal yet fringe minority. "flat earth" or "space is fake" or "nukes aren't real" would instead require fabricating alternate history and explaining ludicrous amounts of data, budgets, organizations. like trillions would of dollars and all history since wwii and entire industries would have to be bernie maddof tier ai-crypto-algorithm tier total wholesale fraud. nobody human is powerful enough to manage that.
