Professor Dave Humiliates Flat Earther David Weiss (DITRH Debunked Live)

  • For months now, hordes of idiots have been lurking in my comments sections, aggressively insisting that I need to debate David Weiss, because he's some kind of flat earth messiah who is undebunkable, and I should cower in the face of his might. Of course I ignored them because he is a two-bit charlatan and who cares what idiots say, but then a channel with almost 700k subscribers asked if I would debate Weiss on his channel, and I figured it might be a good way to pick up a few subscribers, and also humiliate a flat earth icon irreparably in the process. And folks, that's exactly what happened. From the moment he opened his mouth to the moment we left the stream, I took every single word he said and demonstrated in real time how David Weiss is a science illiterate moron that doesn't understand basic concepts learned in elementary school, just like every other pointless flat earth grifter. Anyone who watches this exchange and still refers to him as a credible source of information is in complete denial of reality and hopelessly unreachable. Of course that describes most flat earthers, so I'll see you dummies in the comments section complaining about what a meany mean-pants I am instead of admitting to yourself that you are completely unable to address a single thing I said in this absolutely airtight, relentless destruction of a toxic influence on society. Toodles!

    Hey you! Yes you there, the thousandth person coming down here in a hissy fit to tell me how mean and nasty and unprofessional I was to that poor, poor, ignorant flat earther. Stop. You have zero perspective on this situation. Weiss is a con man who lies for a living. He knows he's wrong, he just spews a script of lies to make money on the internet. Politeness is a window to gish gallop and spread more lies, and you can clearly see how angry he got when I pinned him on every lie in his script, pressing him to respond to things he knew he couldn't respond to. He does not deserve respect. He does not deserve decency. He deserves annihilation. He deserves public humiliation. His remaining followers are impervious to facts and logic, so the only thing that works is a demonstration of what a sniveling, lying, pathetic little toddler he is. Also, no, he was not polite. The first words out of his mouth were to slander me regarding the content on my channel, and all he did was call me a "dick" every time I proved him wrong. He's a douchebag. And guess what? Even if he wasn't a con man he still should be treated this way, because politeness toward this "issue" would give the illusion of two "opinions" with equal footing. There aren't. The earth is objectively a sphere, as we've known for thousands of years, and anyone who says otherwise is actively calling all of science a lie, and literally all scientists liars. That's insanely offensive. This is how you deal with flat earth con men. Get on board or get out of the way. Got it?

      In my experience it's a lot easier to convince someone of something if I don't refer to them as subhuman vermin. I wholeheartedly believe that this guy deserved everything you gave to him, but I disagree with the general sentiment that politeness toward a person you have a disagreement with gives weight to their argument. You can unwaveringly insist that someone is blatantly wrong about something without insulting them.

    I’m a retired professor of medieval lit and history, and the person claiming that people in the Middle Ages believed the earth is flat - NO. There are references to the earth as a globe everywhere including The Canterbury Tales and medieval manuscript illustration, which I have seen... Also, the Greeks had already proven the earth is a sphere centuries earlier. The nonsense about the medievals believing in a flat earth was never a “thing” until the 18th and 19th centuries as part of Protestant backlash against Catholicism - they made up nonsense to argue that medieval Catholics were stupid. Sadly there seem to be a few stragglers living in 2024 are now taking all of this seriously. Sad.

      @SloverOfTeuth 2 дня назад +2

      My favourite is flat earth Dave's insistence on an explanation for the sun orbiting the earth in order for the Eratosthenes experiment to have validity. It's an experiment in and about _geometry,_ and the geometry is valid provided there is relative rotation, regardless of where the centre of rotation is. If you think about it, it's only really once people started understanding gravity and its consequences that they had a way of distinguishing between geocentric and heliocentric models.

The response I got surprised me, when one of them replied to say (and trust me, this is a direct quote that is seared into my mind) "I don't think anyone knows what shape it is", while the other (highly nonconfrontational) friend walked off into another room.

      I don't think you're far off, but flip it around. They're convinced the government can't be trusted, at all. They're convinced what it does and says is a conspiracy. So anything coming from it is poisoned. So when it claims the earth is round that alone makes the concept of roundness suspect. Because why would such a corrupt entity focus so hard on convincing everyone it's round. Then they enter into every discussion with the decision already made that it's flat. Everything goes downhill from there.

Except at the very end where he wanted to fight about the seasons. But I have to wonder... how do flat earthers explain the seasons? I think he was insinuating that the sun gets closer to the flat earth XD I'm dying from laughter. And yes the Earth orbits the sun closer at times, and it does have SOME impact, it's what is called solar minimum and maximum, but not like the seasons. Humans have been documenting the Earth's tilt, the solstices particularly for ages...

NASA itself says they do all testing over a flat plane. Earth isn't a flat plane so why do they do that? I want to know why 56 years ago NASA could use a land line to talk to the men on moon 238,856 miles away, but 56 years later my phone can't keep a signal across town. Bring back that technology please! Why do airlines use the flight paths they use? Wish they would just go do their own experiments & film proof and put these lies to rest.

      @@tinaregeneratedlady3476 Mmh couple of things.
      - Where does NASA say that?
      - In terms of radio waves:
      1. NASA doesn't make Iphones
      2. Compare the audio quality you have now to the audio quality of Neil's "One small step for man" speech. You'll probably realize you've taken for granted the notion that you get to talk to people thousands of miles away like they're right next to you.
      3. Phone drops are more a product of phone service which is limited due to competing businesses buying up airwaves in specific areas. Whereas phones have to work in multiple locations, the radio signal for the moon landing only had to be focused to one area.
      - Airlines use the flight paths they use because those are the flight paths that are most fiscally efficient while still offering a viable service. Those airlines aren't just carrying you, they're also carrying mail, packages, and other people. The flight path YOU might deem most efficient is not the same as the one a business would deem most efficient. IE. most profit for the least input. The more a business gets people and packages to where they are going, the more profit they make, and that's all they care about. Sometimes that aligns with your ideas of efficiency, and sometimes it doesn't.
      - Lastly, plenty of films have been made, and every time it's the same excuse. "This is edited." "Fake footage" etc. At what point are we to accept that some people will just deny what they're looking at with their own eyes for the sake of preserving what they already believe?

Days in the south should _always_ be shorter than days in the north, because of simple geometry (larger radius = larger diameter of the sun's path; but still only 24 hours to cover it = sun has to move quicker = days are shorter).

    FlatDave is a professional con artist. After watching this video, I am convinced that he does not believe the flat earth model at all. LIKE AT ALL! The only mistake on Professor Dave's side is that at 30:28 he assumed that flatdave randomly grasps at words to try to make sense. Flatdave definitely has a scenario that he follows. With the amount of astronomy(and other) terms that flatdave throws at you, you simply get stunned as a character in a video game. Big respect to ProfessorDave for the patience.

      It's very simple method of manipulation if you can't answer question that debunks your logic, you just change topic and bring another point in hope person you are talking to won't have answer, and if they by any chance don't you just call it victory. For most people it would work because most people don't study astrology, but if you are talking to a person that have enough knowledge to debunk every point you make you just try to bring another point until debate is over and you can just say we don't have enough time so he couldn't debunk all my lies therefore there's no winner.

    I believe the problem with the flat Earth proponent, around the 59-minute mark, is that he fails to grasp the immense size of the Sun. While it may appear similar in size to the Moon during an eclipse, it is actually 1 astronomical unit (AU) away from Earth (obvs). The Sun is incredibly massive. For simplicity, I often envision its diameter as a hundredth of an AU. I find it fascinating how the distances to planets in AU are so easy to remember: 0.4, 0.7, 1, 1.5, 5, 10, 20, 30. Just remembering that, along with the fact that 1 AU is approximately 93 million miles, allows you to know all the distances for pub quizzes and impressing your friends.

    I used to work with a guy who is a flat earther. I never dismiss someone's beliefs out of hand without giving them serious thought and consideration. For that reason, I bought this book: 100 Proofs Earth is Not a Globe. I honestly believed and expected it to contain well written, thought provoking proofs.
    However, the vast majority of the proofs were of a form similar to this: [statement that clearly demonstrates a lack of understanding of an area of science] followed by, therefore the earth is not a globe. A good deal of the others were simple personal incredulity: I can't believe that, therefore that's not true, therefore the earth is not a globe.
    I had several discussions with this co-worker. I even created a diagram based on the flat earth model to demonstrate that what we see does not agree with the flat earth model. What I learned from these discussions is that science is wrong, math is wrong, geometry is a lie.
    What I eventually realized was that flat earth is a religious belief and like all religious beliefs it does not require scientific proof. For that reason, providing scientific proof that counters the flat earth model falls on deaf ears.

      Nobody is preventing you from going to antartica
      No, the experts aren't emitting hypotheses about the shape of earth. And naturally you wouldn't either if you watched just the boat disappearing from bottom to top behind the curvature. I suppose you didn't wait to observe that event?
      The real speed of translation of the earth is 30000 meters per second (or 67108,089 miles per hour) so already if you don't get the correct number no wonder you don't accept it right? That was obviously your only grip with that aspect right?
      The stars aren't fixed in the sky, a simple timelapse shows that and actual experts know that for example constellations will get deformed as time pass. Not even the north star has always been the same (once it was alpha draconis now it isn't)
      "Do I understand why we can see things significantly further than earth curvature would allow for"
      No you don't, otherwise you would have known about atmospheric refractions which is known from everyone that use a bit of optic. Ask Joshua Notwicky about it
      "Do i understand why we never went back to the moon?"
      Because it didn't bring that much money in and was therefore that well funded
      "Do i understand how we managed to get through a radiation belt, before we knew it existed, and before we set protection (lead) for it?"
      By going through where it's the thinnest
      "Do I understand why no other country wanted to walk on the moon"
      Because unmanned missions are cheaper and safer amongst other things
      "Do I understand why the moon, a solid rock no less, is transparent enough for me to see stars through it?"
      It isn't and you didn't see stars through it
      "Only people with permission can go to see Antarctica"
      The only permission you need is the one protecting you from the cold
      "Dont you think that is weird? You are being told stay away"
      You aren't
      "Why the pacts? why the unusual (non existent usually) agreement, honouring the control of this region? "
      What pact? The treaty of Antartica? The one declaring that you can't militarise Antartica or declare control over it? Kinda put a dent in the idea that you can't approach Antartica
      "Do i understand why we have no real pictures of earth from space?"
      We actually do, unless you can prove that all of them are completely fake
      Same thing for the moon
      "You all think you have seen the image of a black hole, and have no idea how retarded that is. "
      Well it's well known that the photo was made possible thanks to the disk of accretion around the black hole which did reflect light. Clearly you had no idea how retarded that paragraph of yours was
      "99.9% of people chatting crap on here, one way or the other, really dont know one way or the other. That you think you do is a healthy human dose of ignorance and a need to feel like you understand..... Which you do not."
      Still with the opinion? Give it up already
      "What do you actually know?"
      I know that earth is a sphere and that you can go to Antartica. The two have even been combined in the transglobe expediction. If I say more I'll look even more pedantic than I already do
      "I am worried for our species - And its because almost all of us are morons, and we re so deep in that well, that we cant even understand the depths of our own stupidity and ignorance...."
      Yes those are legitimate concern. Doesn't give you the right to suddenly ignore all pictures you don't like though

    Conspiracy beliefs like flat earth maybe aren’t from a lack of information as much as a lack of community.
    This video is a good demonstration of why flat earth beliefs persist in spite of conflicting evidence. FE people are frequently lonely, directionless and undereducated. They found a community that gave them a sense of community and purpose and a feeling of having valuable knowledge. A conventional scientist, even when giving them perfectly accurate information, if it’s conveyed in a condescending way, will reliably drive them back into the FE community where they will be treated with understanding and not made to feel like crap.
