Even back when many claim 'they' all believed the Earth was flat ... most didn't - LOL. Round is anything but a new concept.

Eratosthenes worked out the circumference of the planet 300 years before Christ.
They were even tracking and sizing other planets.

We've cycled between smart and dumb all through history.
Looks like we're due for some dumb times.

You nailed that. We're almost back in the dark ages with all the knowledge of the world at our fingertips. Kinda sad.
