Another perspective I've heard in relation to the flat earth vs round earth discussion is that in essence the whole question and discussion of what shape our earth is in is a nice distraction we indulge in, like entertainment we use to distract our focus away from working on the things that really matter, which is life on earth -- not what shape the earth may or may not have. Personally I don't care what shape it's in, unless it's essential to actually creating a world that's best for all the beings on it.
