"Realizing you've been put here for a reason, instead of by random chance"
-> I'm not really sure how this follows from "the world is flat".
Do you have any recommended reading or watching with regards to the claim of the world being flat?
There are a lot of shitty videos out there, just be prepared, but there are some good ones too. I'd start with this one:
You can also do your own tests.

I know a simple test you can do. Go to the beach with cheap binoculars and observe a boat 10 miles away and how the bottom of it is hidden behind the curve of the earth. One of the flat earthers favorite claims is that this doesnt happen so i guess none of them into this even tried?

I'll give you a better one:
Go to the beach and watch a boat "disappear over the horizon". Let it get even further away just to be sure.
Now get a Nikon P900 or better camera and zoom in on the boat. Watch the entire boat come back into view in its entirety.

I think YOU ought to try this because you obviously havent ( :

Definitely hasn’t!
Flat earthers make me sad. Only for the reason that wayyyy back when, before we had the ability to go into space, see the earth shape or explore every other planet (also sphere) we can see or even understand gravity and why that would make the word round … before all that people had ideas, dreams, stories and myths. Lack of understanding made led to this.
Now when we discovered all these other things ourselves some people just can’t adapt enough to let old fallacies die. Much like religion/god.
So for that I feel sad that people can’t evolve - hey it happens - genes, mutations, intelligence (or lack off) all die off in evolution. It’s still sad tho. With the effort we have put into the world to raise education and make it better we are still stuck with people and ideologies that hold us back.
Imagine where we would be if we didn’t have hundreds of years of the dark ages stopping science and philosophical growth….
