I am falling for an amazing woman who is a flat-earther. Can I reconcile my diminishing respect?
Briefly

It defies all logic, observable facts, and is absolutely absurd. I feel like I've lost so much respect for her and I cannot seem to reconcile that feeling with how I care about everything else she is.
Eleanor says: I like the idea that there's something intellectually deficient about you following what you've been told, when she learned this from YouTube, and when she's teaching her kids to follow what they're told by her.
What counts as evidence? What counts as falsification? Under what circumstances are you meant to believe stuff? Instead of convincing someone based on facts, you end up in a circular argument.
I am a very mathematical and science-oriented man and I could even sit her down and show her some basic maths, but I doubt that would go well!
