My favourite ‘thought trigger’ point is from Bill Burr, it goes something like: “lets for a second say that the earth is flat, then what possible reason could there be for governments, scientists, airlines, internet warriors, etc have for convincing you that it is a sphere. What do they have to gain by you believing this?”.
This is also how people discover is some religious thing, so what a famous dude in my country did to convince flat earthers was pointing out that the bible talks about the moon. It can’t be a satanist conspiracy now.

I’d probably start much simpler. “Why do you think the earth is flat?”
