The thing is that they already don't believe that space travel is real even when nearly a thousand people have been to space and come back whole and hale. They believe that the Earth is flat while every other body is round, and that any evidence to the contrary is a trick, a mistake, an illusion, or explainable in a flat-earth framework. It's a deep-seated anti-intellectualism that evidence can never break through. It's very much the same with bigotry; there are people who consider themselves above logic, reason, evidence, and even faith, for their hatred and membership in the club is enough for them to not care. There is a significant overlap between flat-earthers and fascists for this very reason.
My current theory is that at least some of the flat earthers don’t believe things they have seen for themselves and are blinded by their one prejudices

6:35 And when the flerfs repeated this experiment in modern times with the same result, the line in the video was "interesting" - nothing else, no explanation of how this worked on the magic pizza, and especially no admission that they are wrong. For my part, I shall ignore them until they produce a working map - architects planning a circular building don't switch to an AE projection to draw the plans so there is no reason for the flerfs to be using an AE projection for their map.
No working map and making up and down Universal constants are two of the most obvious Flat-Earth flaws. The better argument (as Einstein knew) had to do with motion, not shape. If we didn't live in a yellow-journal, tabloid virtual reality, subjects like Flat Earth and curved space would be in the dustbin where they belong. Nikola Tesla and Pierre Duhem were right.
Science worshippers will never be able to understand that no amount of peer reviewed papers, scientific research, testifiable expirments or expert community consensus is going to overcome pure philosophical and irrefutable truths. Because the above mentioned methods are mere tools of human experience and simply can not be imperative of societal behaviour. While the ethical axiom of private property ownership (aka owning your own body) regardless of your feeble personal opinion is not only the truth, but also imperative by nature. Any attempts to go against ethics would be discussed in the realm of metaphysics (in which they not even acknowledge, let alone understand it), leading into argumentative self-refutation due to the application of imperative and universal oughts derived from personal and time-limited human experiences.

Depends on the vaccine and the disease. Some vaccines are miraculous, some are nice, some are not worth the trouble. Some vaccines are unexpectedly good - it turns out that some of them protect against more than they were designed to.
Wallace's interest in spiritualism wasn't anti-scientific in his time, any more than astrology and alchemy were anti-scientific in the 1500s (well, some sorts of astrology, anyway). The anti-vaccination is a bit of surprise--was it a question of interpretation of statistics (the words used in the video were "less effective than claimed" which might easily be the case, since the immunity provided by smallpox vaccination even with the most modern vaccines didn't last more than a few years), or was it serious woo?
And Newton himself was not averse to a bit of trolling. Hampden shows that fundamentalism and trolling has always been with us. I suppose people don’t change much.

My wife had a coworker who was a vehement flat-earther. When he learned we WEREN'T flat-earthers he aggressively referred to us as Sphere-tards every chance he got and patronizingly insulted our intelligence. We started intentionally asking him leading questions just to hear his absurd defense of flat-earth with wild "facts." 😄 Needles to say we don't associate with him any more.
Yea my uncle seemed a bit mad when I brought up trig stones here in the UK until he calmed down and assured me that, though he can't remember there definitely an explanation as to how trig points accurate measurements can coexist with a flash earth. I gave up after that.
Regarding the proof of the sphericity of the Earth. In the experiment described, we were still talking about water in a canal, and not about the Earth. Local curvature of water in the channel was observed... The result of the experiment can be formulated as follows: the water in some places is slightly sloping. But! This conclusion is true only if we believe that light rays travel in straight lines. Yes, Eintain didn’t exist yet, but Fermat’s principle already existed! 🤣
Tha Analemma proves beyond any doubt that north of the equator and south of the equator are not two equal hemispheres, check out Nikon P900 and P1000 footage over long distances.
The analemma does no such thing, and only forms a figure eight because of the tilt of the spherical earth. "check out Nikon P900 and P1000 footage over long distances." Seen plenty, none of them can bring back the sun into view right after sunset, or the bottoms of ships beyond the horizon.
Two reasons why people insist the Earth is flat: 1) They can't wrap their head around the idea / ignorance. 2) In their view, accepting that the world isn't flat challenges the existence of a creator. This is simply unacceptable to them, so the idea is denied without consideration.
A lot of them just think it's funny and will insist it's flat even though they know it's not. It's difficult to get actual statistics when people find the lie amusing but it seems to be at least half.

If you were a tiny flea on the top of gigantic hot air balloon it would look flat as well. Except the earth is bigger to us than the hot air balloon to a flea. If there was a mountain twice as big as Mount Everest, it would still be way shorter than the width of a penny on a globe. They actually make the land way bigger on globes to make them easier to navigate. It’s hard to fully fathom how big the earth really is compared to humans but that’s the reason it looks flat.
@Objectivity Maybe your design of a flat earth is wrong - maybe it's not a disc. Maybe it's a inverted cone (?). Let's make a compromise and design the world in a way that the region/area/surface that we inhabit is *exactly* the way the flat earthers say: 100% flat and circular with mountains of ice around that cyrcle etc. However: that aera would be a cut out part of a round planet of the size of the sun ...

It seems Hatherley Grove was quite new in 1870, when Hampden was selling his pamphlets. The 25" survey done in 1862-65 shows that area where Hatherley Grove is now, as the rear gardens of houses on Pickering Place (now Queensway). The Pickering Place houses have in turn been replaced by much newer blocks of flats.

Another video taking this concept, but expanding it might be interesting. Instead of using documents for a scientist who was wrong that went against the accepted contemporary ideas, like anit vax. You could instead find documents for scientists that went against contemporary beliefs, but were correct and in line with our current understandings. It would be even more interesting if you could locate documents from respected scientiists or contemporary media that were critizing the person that ended up being correct. Human beings throughout history tend to forget that science follows facts, not concensus. Even people in our own scientific community forget this occasionally. This video was great on its own, btw.
To my recollection Brady's videos generally are demonstrably pro-science, and certainly in this series Keith shares a LOT of the drama behind the science. If you haven't seen a lot of Objectivity videos, you are in for a treat.

14 heatherly Grove is a big townhouse
...with six letterboxes, so divided into little apartments, each probably worth well over £½m. Welcome to 21st century London! It seems Hatherley Grove was quite new in 1870, when Hampden was selling his pamphlets. The 25" survey done in 1862-65 shows that area where Hatherley Grove is now, as the rear gardens of houses on Pickering Place (now Queensway). The Pickering Place houses have in turn been replaced by much newer blocks of flats.
Interesting...

Keith looking great in the Gucci 🔥🔥
I wish Keith hadn't cut Brady off and let him finish reading the poem. I liked it too even if it was pure fiction written by a nasty man.
Now I - even I, would celebrate
In Rhymes unapt the great
Immortal Syracusan rivalled never more,
Who in his wonderous lore
Passed on before,
Left men his guidance
How to circles mensurate.
Should have stuck to eating billy goats
how th someone cant believe in gravity?
Hampden - a man of god.
Humans- the same yesterday, today and forever.
12:02 Wallace does some “independent research”
Another video taking this concept, but expanding it might be interesting.
Instead of using documents for a scientist who was wrong that went against the accepted contemporary ideas, like anit vax. You could instead find documents for scientists that went against contemporary beliefs, but were correct and in line with our current understandings. It would be even more interesting if you could locate documents from respected scientiists or contemporary media that were critizing the person that ended up being correct.
Human beings throughout history tend to forget that science follows facts, not concensus. Even people in our own scientific community forget this occasionally.
This video was great on its own, btw.
To my recollection Brady's videos generally are demonstrably pro-science, and certainly in this series Keith shares a LOT of the drama behind the science. If you haven't seen a lot of Objectivity videos, you are in for a treat.

Imagine Being a flat earther and antivaxxer in the 1800s 💀
And even with so many free and accessible content online, it seems people are getting dumber.
(At least people at that time were good is literature)
