What would be the point in a government disguising that the earth is flat?

None whatsoever

Well obviously because then we’d be able to get to the center of the flat earth which is the North Pole and go inside to the aliens and cooler civilizations

I'll preface this with saying that I do not believe the earth is flat.
From what I understand, the reasoning basically boils down to that "1+1=3" thing that happens in 1984. If the government can make you believe the thing that is obviously false, then the government can make you believe anything. And that makes you easier to control.
Part of this also kinda bleeds into religion as well, as some argue that if the earth was flat and had a dome, that somehow equals the existence of God. And the Government cannot have that, so it gets you to believe that the earth is round in order to make you feel small and insignificant.
Personally, I like the idea that if the earth really was flat, the reason the governments are hiding it is because there is something horrifically dangerous on the other side.
i knew a few believe it because of religion but ive heard "the government is lying to us" a quite often.
i really really dont like that idea
There is a documentary on Netflix called "Behind the curve" that dives into the flat earth community. Really interesting to get their prospective on things. To me it feels like a group made up of religious people, conspiracy nuts, and the disillusioned who feel lost and want an easy explanation to the bad things happening in the world.
