The flat earth society has members all around the globe.
Lots of people will miss your joke btw. Let's see how many actually gets it in about a month.
👌😂😂😂
@@akashjefe This is the most common joke about flat earthers... :P
@@kptmaci4979 sorry I'm New to flat Earth stuff. Don't know much joke about them
I don't like the atmosphere in this comment section.
Flat earth is no joke.
Edit: I guess I went too deep. Atmo"sphere" :)
"You can't tell truth from lies anymore!" said a man thoroughly broken by Bob Mortimer.
This made me laugh. Thanks.
He’s teaching David to do his own dentistry.
Don't forget Claudia Winkleman.
@@fc63457 Yeah - Claudia has to be the best player of "WILTY" that I've ever seen.
Underrated comment
Oooh, this wasn't a Mitchellian rant, my friends. By his standards, this was just pleasant chit-chat.
Agreed! I was thinking he is soooo holding back!
Yup ... This wasn't even chit-chat just a chit when it comes to this gentleman's abilities in the art of rants
@Stanislav Hronek Now if that is what you were asserting - that and that alone - I would say you were telling the truth!
"Hold on, they adopted a little boy called Steve Jenkins and took him to china?"
cyprol 😂 I thought the same. It only lasted 2 minutes
To quote someone. “If the earth was flat, cats would have pushed everything off by now “.
😂
This deserves a LOT more appreciation 😂
to fare ancient egyptians believed that, giant cosmic space cat looks after morale scale.
which is no wonder that morals are bit messed up.
I'd like to pass this one on. I hope you don't mind.
😂🤣😂 LOVE this!!
To someone who's not familiar with Mitchell, he can sound a little unhinged but this was by no means a rant. A Mitchellian rant is a force to be reckoned with and sometimes he doesn't even breathe when he's ranting. Quite marvelous really.
Know what you mean, but there's really nothing unhinged about criticising flat-earthers.
@Joe Bloggs There isn't a concise argument being had because flat earth theory is fundamentally an anti-argument. What proof is there of a round planet? Only centuries of mathematics analysing the curvature of the horizon, the way light interacts with the atmosphere, a basic understanding of how objects in space actually exist and that's before you get into the actual photographs.
But these points don't matter to flat earthers, because they use the same response for each of them: you cannot trust official government-sanctioned statistics. Which is, essentially, a conversation-ender. Do you see why healthy debate cannot be fostered like this? There is no agenda that they believe in, they literally just...do not believe the government. Which isn't unreasonable by itself, but if you ask what possible reason the government might have for this coverup they have no solid theory. It's literally just contrarianism with zero substance. How do you eloquently disprove an argument with someone uninterested in reasonable argument?
@Joe Bloggs If you buy a telescope or binoculars and look into the sky all you will see is approximately ROUND objects, so long as they are massive enough to have an appreciable gravity. Why do you think earth would be different? Because an imaginary Divinity decided to have fun one afternoon? You realise Terry Pratchett wasn't writing a text book?
@Joe Bloggs your opinion is they are not idiots. If they put a metal object into a live electrical socket 30 seconds after watching someone else being electrocuted they are idiots. There is a direct correlation.
@Joe Bloggs obviously you aren't the best of anyone. Barely adequate maybe, if we stretch definitions a bit.
Have you ever seen a more unlikely group of people sitting together having a conversation.
Life must be weird for David Mitchell. He goes from small BBC radio sitcoms to having friends who win Oscars and sitting on a sofa with a former US presidential candidate.
@@Ovenman940 Which Oscar-winning friends does he have? Not in a malicious way, just asking out of interest.
@@Ali-lh1st Olivia Colman
I hadn´t noticed until you said it. But even with that combination, Graham manages to keep the show entertaining.
Yes, me and my wife!
I knew a guy in college who joined the Flat Earth Society back in the '80's on a lark, not because he thought the earth was flat but because he liked collecting their wacky literature. He said they used arguments such as: the surface of the water in this glass is flat, the ruler is flat, therefore the earth is flat. Then one day he was feeling down and I asked him what was wrong. He said he made the mistake of sending in his dues using a stamp with a picture of the globe on it, so they returned his payment and cancelled his membership.
That's quite sad because a relatively recent flat Earth Facebook group boasted that they had followers "all over the globe".
@@NewFalconerRecords No kidding
The flat earth society has no members as they are a troll group pushing garbage that no flat earther thinks
🤣🤣🤣
But the stamp was flat, what’s the problem? They think the Earth is round, just flat and round 😂
It's easier to deceive a person than convince them they've been lied to.
We know, THat is why flerfs are so annoying.
wow... you are good at parroting sentences you don't even understand 😂
I once almost joined a cult, I certainly ain't a smart cookie with religion but I know well enough to sniff out BS, so when they were dropping beliefs that are so stupid I feel bad for the unfortunate people who fall for their traps because you can certainly tell a lot of them are good people but they were not educated enough to notice the BS. Certainly glad I stepped out after my first day, the level of being completely dumb to the facts and the level of ignorance for the truth is beyond belief. But that's what you get when cult leaders turn outsiders against you by saying everyone else is lying and trying to hurt you. You get people who will only share but won't debate.
@@ChefBuckeye The globe cult is the biggest in the world. Lol.
@@freedomdove can grab any cheap telescope and look at the moon and clearly see the perspective of the craters change as a result of the curvature that can only exist with a sphere, but all these american halfwits know different don't they
Do you remember, before the Internet, it was thought that the cause of collective stupidity was the lack of access to information?
Well... It wasn't.
One of the best comments I’ve seen in a while! I couldn’t have put it better myself. Good for you 👍
It is an actual lack of information.
Those in authority and those with power and responsibility are more interested in censorship and calling dissenting opinions idiots etc etc etc.
You cannot challenge and/or intellectually beat flat earthers with censorship, or calling them idiots. It is disrespectful and dangerous. People have the right to have "dumb and wrong" opinions. People have the right to an opinion.
BUT the only reaction the "elite" have is censorship and persecution. That is the actual issue. Not that a small small minority of people want to believe silly/dumb/wrong things.
@@mrfreeman2911 That has to be one of the most idiotic comments I have seen in ages. Absolute rubbish.
@@PanglossDr lol. Great argument. So we censor flat earthers? Thereby reinforcing their believes and belief of persecution. Amazing idea.
@@mrfreeman2911 Have you got any idea how stupid your comments are? Please go learn what censorship is.
Any comment containing the word you put in quotes will, almost by definition, be fatuous and ignorant.
The only thing Flat Earthers have to fear is a sphere itself.
lmao
the only thing flat earthers phear is phear itself
Wonderful.

Bravo.
Nope. The world is flat carried on the back of 4 giant elephants which stand on the back of the giant space turtle Great A'tuin who swims through the vast ocean of space. Doesn't everyone know this?
You're right, but I don't believe the "Facts" they keep pushing on the Turtles gender. The Counterweight Continent is full of lies. A'tuin is female
@@GRAHFXENO I'd be interested to hear what they have to say about this in Fourecks. According to globalists on the disc it doesn't exist as it doesn't fit their model! I'm sure the university in Bugarup would have something to say about that though. And maybe they have a different perspective on the turtle's gender. But what about the elephants? No one ever considers the elephants

Bedtime stories used to be so much more creative. Still not asleep? Well I guess I'll put a turtle under the elephants.
My current favourite comment thread on RUclips. Keeping it real. Thanks for the work you do.
David has the best rants out there and even if they are serious you still manage to laugh unique quality of a great comedian
He's a fool
Hey sorry, beeing German, I'm not familiar with this guy. Is he a reptilioide maybe? 😉
He's brilliant.
This isn't one of them though. It's embarrassing.
@@ramdas363 Yes, how devastating to be caught insisting the world is not flat. He must be deeply ashamed at that gaffe.
I completely agree - I call it the “village idiot” problem.
I grew up in the age when the internet was going to educate the world. Instead it has given us the “village idiot” problem. When we lived in villages, everybody knew who the village idiot was and would ignore them. Unfortunately, the internet has allowed “village idiots” to form their own virtual village to get affirmation of their idiotic views from each other! It’s Dunning-Kruger meets Echo Chamber!
Remember the 1990s and how people said the internet would give us the "global village"? With it came the global village idiots.

@@farQuhar85flat earth is a Psyop. David Mitchell is a shill regardless.
I love Graham... He's literally one of the talk show hosts who doesnt interrupt his guest while they tell their story.
Literally one of them.
It's because the whole thing is basically scripted. They've decided in advance what they're going to talk about so why would he interrupt them talking about the designated topic?
@@FortoFight either way...what i meant is that when compared to Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and Ellen etc. We actually get to listen to what the guest have to say.
@@FortoFight All talk show hosts do that. That's why they call it the "pre-interview". Hosts that don't do that are usually a nightmare. I love Artie Lange, jebus dude, let your guest get a word in edgewise.
@@Gunman610 I didn't necessarily say it was bad, just pointed out that the whole conversation is scripted which is why Graham isn't interrupting.
English is a second language for me so sometimes I don't understand it when people use big words. But David Mitchell uses words that are just "big enough" to make his point and I will still be able to understand him. The guy's brilliant.
Your English is excellent.
Sometimes I miss the good old days, when the internet was only used by intellectuals and perverts.
Now it's also used by weirdos and more perverts
I've used the internet for years, now I'm trying to work out which of those two categories I fit into.
@Josh D thank you, that's put my mind at rest.

@@viggaqu6385 ''triple jabbed''?
"And you did it wrong".
Around 200 bce Eratosthenes of Alexandria calculated the circumference of the Earth, watching shadows with rope and some fast camels. So people in the 2020 with Iphones are still late for some news.
Ah, erudition at last. Thank you, caballero.
bold of you to assume these people know actual history
The news had been out for thousands of years, and yet they still haven't got it, means that their gadgets were actually earlier, their "tablets" were actually made of sun-dried mud...
What were the camels for? All you need is vertical sticks an some way to measure a long distance in north south direction, ideally without tall mountains in-between.
@SS Antarctica WASN'T BANNED - pop "trips to the South Pole" into Google and, perhaps, EDUCATE YOURSELF.

@@h0lly_blue What did Debra say? Because her channel has been deleted by Google.
Here's something I once read that really stayed with me, "if you have a theory, no matter how ridiculous, you can find 'evidence' on the internet supporting it"
So true. The difference from conspiracy theories and real science is falsification. Meaning real science doesn't try to find proof that their theories are correct, rather that they're incorrect. If the research can't show any proof that the theory is incorrect, then it might be that the theory has been proven- UNTIL further research shows any different conclusion. So there's a humility built in the scientific method completely lacking in conspiracy theories
Yeah like how Russia stole the election from Hilary.
I have a theory that the moon is made of cheese. Oh hang on.....
hmmm, ok test .. the Earth is doughnut shaped. Oh, sh*t ..
"what happened to facts?" Graham Norton asked David Mitchell, and the camera quickly shifts over to HILLARY CLINTON nodding her head. HAHAHAHAHAHA

Hahahah exaaactly
You guys are so triggered by even a glimpse of Hillary Clinton you try to make a video about flat earth about her instead. Funnily enough, the one she lost to created a society even more likely to believe dumb idiots that constantly lie. Now how many attended his inaugeration? FAKE NEWS. Sad.

@@mkuehter12 yeah I can’t imagine trying to have an argument with him 🤣🤣🤣
Man, I'm a pretty big David Mitchell fan. I'd love it if he were given his own talk show.
He has done a lot of shows hosting, but what he would definitely not ever do,
is chair a show where he has to constantly feign interest in everybody's plug.
(yes, I see the irony in that, as he's being a guest on a talkshow because he had a book out.)
The title needs correction. It should say, "David Mitchell being calm about the flat Earth Society". :D

You sad pathetic little individual. Seek help.
By 240 BC, Eratosthenes, with the difference of degrees between the shadows casted by two poles, one in Alexandria, one in Syene, not only proved a curvature that continued would make a circle, but also measured successfully the sphere we live at.
U ,here, gave Too much information to be processed by the "idiots' " brains.
Eratosthenes is one of the truths they integrated into their belief system.
If you ask them how high their sun is they will normally state around 4 thousand miles.
If you take Era's angles and place on a flat earth that's the height you get.
Of course, if you take multiple sun angles (say from the timeanddate site) you'll find multiple heights and so falsify flat earth... But they don't care, they can just ignore you.
we dont live on a sphere mate, its impossible. also the light on the moon is not reflected sun light, sphere's dont reflect light, you learn that in school, a suface has to be flat or curved. So that means very basically that the moon is not what youve been told. (when you were 6 or 7) easy to take in lies then, like santa.

@@SamPedroCactus A few typos are hardly equivalent to the lunacy-adjacent conspiracy of flat earth nonsense.
I went through school in the 70’s-80’s. There’d be a couple of students who couldn’t quite grasp certain concepts in earth science. It was OK though. They’d squeak by and live their lives, albeit not as rocket scientists.
Now they find each other on the internet. They find validation for their lack of understanding, and then they embrace it. They’re told “you’re one of the smart ones, you always knew they were lying to you.”
Facts don’t matter at that point, and yet another conspiracy theorist is born.
Throw in the special feeling conspiracies can give ppl, along with the Dunning Kruger effect, and we have what we have. This is all just an unfortunate, yet understandable side effect of the internet. This is something we’re always going to have to deal with.
I loved it when P J O’Rourke said “Who’s idea was it to put every idiot in touch with every other idiot?”
@@MLB9000 lol, that’s so true
You make a fair point, and I mostly agree with you.
I do have a nagging suspicion that its also a side effect of society not valuing people for who they are, and measuring everyone against the same arbitrary yardstick. Generations of people spilling out of schools where many people consider themselves stupid because their skills and qualities are not recognized by the teaching and grading process.
If you think you are stupid, and you suddenly get told that you aren't, it kind of makes sense that you would want to maintain that feeling of validation.
Then you go online and drop flat-earth 'truths' and get derided as an idiot. It's a targeted insult to someone who deep down believes it to be true. Doubling down most likely seems the least painful route to take at that point.
I just wonder sometimes how much worse we make the problem by not responding to foolishness with compassion.
This exactly this. I am no mathematician and higher math completely eludes me. I however do not think that means that math doesn't exist. That is where they take this, anything they can't understand with their tiny brains must be a lie and part of a plot.
A great summary, thumbs ups!
David Mitchell: **coughs**
Hilary Clinton: **nods slowly in agreement**
Her active listening skills are out of control
She reacted perfectly fine. She seemed genuinely delighted. I say this as someone who does not approve of her.
To be fair, that'd probably be me in the presence of David Mitchell.
as a physics teacher i am laid low by the stupidity. I have had to contend with increasingly strange beliefs that people will angrily defend.
Keep your chin up. You're not alone!
It's the only way they can answer back, having no other facts!
@David Lockett I am not a physichs teacher. Multiverse is based on our gaps in knowledge. It may be. Probably not. But at least it's consistent with what we know, so, if it were true, nothing we know would change. Flat earth conjecture is based on ignoring what we do know. It's inconsistent with what we know it works.
You always can make a multible joice test and let them fail
@sandponicsOf course it is, because the flat earth theory is refutable on a gazillion levels while the multiverse theory is not. That's how scientific research works.
This is David Mitchell's world..... we're just living in it.

But the mainstream media he defends is largely responsible for feelings being given preference over objectively observable facts.

He has one of the quickest minds.
One guy went up in a rocket to prove the Earth was flat and died being stupid.
Well, Mad Mike wasn't really a flat earther. After his death his brother and agent both confirmed that he was just pretending to be so that flat earthers would contribute to his go fund me. He was just a guy who liked to fly in his rockets and was just a little too eager and didn't cancel the flight when they discovered the backup chute wasn't working. Turned out it was the first time he would have needed it too.
I mean, of course it was a con. His rockets only flew about 1000 feet up. For a fraction of the price anyone could get on a plane and get a much better view.

You said "I think the W.h.o and UN might be able to answer since they both have flat earth as their logo,"
Except they don't. They use a silhouette of the Azimuthal Equidistant map, known to many flat Earth believers as the Gleason map, which is NOT an accurate map of a flat Earth since (like ALL flat maps of the Earth) it is distorted.
The fact that you think the AE/Gleason map is an accurate flat map of a flat Earth says it all, my empty headed friend :-)
I’m still not entirely convinced that these self proclaimed flat-earthers aren’t just some next level trolls, laughing at the fact that we’re actually believing their drivel.
Flat earthers are uneducated and fear intellectual separation, being the consequence. Now they hate real knowledge and attempt to discredit it...

As soon as I see David Mitchell and the topic of anything controversial, you know the comments is gonna be some sort of party
What's wild is there is probably at least 1 person in the audience that had just been ranting to someone that very day about all the "evidence" that the Earth was flat.
Everyone thinks that the Flat Earth society is a joke. I used to as well and then I heard a neighbour arguing with someone on the phone saying the Earth is flat. It was disturbing. It was like listening to a mentally ill person vehemently defend his own insane delusions. However, while he is completely wrong, he isn’t mental. It was a display of the power of idiocy.
Maybe idiocy is a new form of superpower, like levitation or telepathy? Maybe idiots are going around "beaming" concentrated stupidity rays into people's heads. It would explain a lot.
And the sad or perhaps scary is that these people are procreating more than sane people
The Flat earth society is a joke. No flat earther believes that we are on a disc floating in space. Check out David Weiss for true flat earth. I have two science degrees from a well known university and have come to see the flat earth as our true home.
So what eveidence are you basing the earth being a globe, specifically?

"We Accept The Reality Of The World With Which We're Presented. It's As Simple As That." (Christof - The Truman Show)
I kept waiting for David Mitchell to drop the “…sphere itself” line. Never happened.
So…all glory to you great and hilarious messenger above!!
He was leaving that line for Lee Mack.
I adore him, but this wasn't a rant. Watch WILTY and you'll see a rant and the added pleasure of his interactions with Lee Mac. They're GOLD!!
WILTY is such fun! What with the rants of Mitchell, and the quick-fire wit of Lee Mac, all that is then needed is Bob Mortimer as a guest, and you're in for the creme de la creme of entertainment, and hilarity!
Brilliant delivery. One of my top 5 comedians. Does not get enough credit
Doesn't get enough credit? What? There isn't a single person in the western world who doesn't know who David Mitchell is. You can't turn the TV on without seeing him somewhere. It's not like he's obscure or something. I suppose you'll tell us Mick Jagger doesn't get enough credit as a singer next.

To the flat earthers out there,
There is nothing to fear except sphere itself.
Not my quote, sadly.
A good way to round it off.
The Earth isn't flat, it's not round either.
It went pear shaped a while back.
Actually, an oblate spheroid. All comments may be directed to Stephen Fry and QI.
@@mattnachazel3525 Not precisely correct. Asimov had commented multiple times about the "pear shaped" earth. The problem is most folks think of Bartlett or Bosc when they think pear, but there are varieties (as Asimov pointed out in the article I rembmer) which are more nearly spherical. While I couldn't locate the exact reference I did find this: chem.tufts.edu/AnswersInScience/RelativityofWrong.htm in which he points out that oblate spheroid isn't quite correct because there are differences between the northern and southern hemispheres.
Haha word..
To be accurate, the shape is called "oblique spheroid" by scientists.
if you remove the water it looks like a giant asteroid.
Next they'll be telling us that it's impossible to answer the question, "What is a woman?"
Gender identity and the shape of our planet are two entirely different and unrelated things.

Flat earthers need go on the London Eye and tell us if they can see the Eiffel Tower.
They claim that atmospheric refraction prevents anyone from seeing more than a couple miles away.

In David Mitchell's defense, when he saw the other guests he thought they were discussing the "Fat Head Society".

Check out “The Emperor’s Coloured Coat” a WW1 adventure novel. The hero, an Austrian submarine commander (yes, really), meets a flat earther. He spends nearly TWO CHAPTERS trying to tell him you can’t navigate that way - nothing penetrates. One of the best explications of the madness.
It's an adventure novel. It's not real. Have you ever done any real research, or do you just go by that bearded little dweeb and a fiction book?
@@truck5050 The chapters cited are almost word for word real flat Earth nonsense.
@@truck5050 The OP didn't claim the book was a real story.
In fact,@@hoodatdondar2664 specifically said it was an adventure novel, then you berate him for not mentioning the book to be an adventure novel. Have you ever done any real research, or are you a flerfer?
The thing is that it's got to the point that pointing out the errors of Conspiracy Theorist claims immediately makes you 'one of them' in the eyes of the person you are talking to, it's the perfect way to pretend to be clever without actually requiring any logical thought....

...And we had understood the earth was round many hundred years before we actually went into space
I love when David Mitchell gets in a rant about something. This in particular.
I've sailed over the edge and if my braces hadn't caught on a rock I wouldn't be here now!
If you’re a flat Earther, you’re wrong. You just are. The Earth is round. We’ve seen it. We’ve measured it. We’ve filmed it. We have dozens of eye witnesses. Find a different hobby.
where did you see it ? in a book ' on tv ?

That last line, "I'll tell you how we know, someone went up in a rocket, looked out of the window, and took a bloody photo"
It seems like someone forgot the funny??
Coolest fact about that: in response to the Apollo program’s first picture of the earth, the London branch of flat earth society decided to close its doors. That was in ‘69?

The thing about flat earthers is they just wont come round
If I ever cross paths with a flat Earther, I'll tell them, "I don't believe you."
And I don't just mean that I don't believe that the Earth is flat, I mean I don't believe that they believe that the Earth is flat. They're just joking; flat-Earthets aren't real.

Listening to him speak just makes me miss Peep Show so much and hearing a great Corrigan rant!
Flat earthers. They have nothing to fear but sphere itself.
The most important question I need to ask a flat earther is: Why would anyone lie about that?
I've received a reply to that question, which went along the lines of: "Something something Illuminati something brainwashing us to believe that space is vast and we're insignificant something or the other."
Thought control? To keep people under the impression we are trapped?
Love David. Talks so much sense but with humour
@@HolyRollerTV There is no canned laughter at the Graham Norton show. I have been in the audience and speak from experience. You have your opinion but don’t make up nonsense to support it.

How do we know the earth isn't flat? If it were, cats would push everything off of the edge.
u don't even have to go up into space to prove the earth is a sphere; you can prove it by measuring the differences in the sun's angle at various points on earth simultaneously like eratosthenes did.
Where I live I can cross a pass and then see the Monterey Bay. The pass is only 1300' high and the horizon in front of me is about 30 miles wide, but even on that small of a horizon, it is easy to detect the curvature.
You don't NEED to do that, and the Ancient Greeks knew the Earth was round (or, at least, NOT flat) long before Eratosthenes and his experiments. They noticed that ships moving away became invisible from the bottom up: you could still see the top of the mast even when the hull had completely disappeared. The Greeks were not the only people to notice this. There is really only ONE explanation for this phenomenon.
@@DieFlabbergast yeah, they SLOWLY fell off the edge of the world............. 0.0!!
STOP CONFUSING ME WITH SCIENTIFIC FACTS!!! MY FEELINGS SAY OTHERWISE!!!!
@@DieFlabbergast When I was in high school in the early 50's, a local newspaper published an article saying the earths curvature causes the ocean to 'dip' 8" per mile. I still have that article.
I went to the edge of our flat Earth, someone built a guard rail there. I took some sensational photos but unfortunately I lost my phone, it felt over the rail. It's now on its way to the moon I guess. The flat one, you know?!
Sounds like you mixing it up with your heliocentric system flat moon 😂
The funniest thing about the flat earth theory is that litterally any test you put to it it fails at the first hurdle.
I’m afraid not. The funniest thing about the flat earth society is they couldn’t understand how Australia was known as ‘down under’, so refused to include it and wrote it out as an obtrusive outlier, until flat earth Aussies demanded access to join their ranks.
I think David Mitchell is brilliant, I love listening to his rants, although this was quite mild in comparison to others he has done.
David Mitchell talking about conspiracists to a bloke who believes the Moon landing was staged...
David Mitchell strikes me as a sort of talking scientific calculator with feelings and the occasional rant about why people should seriously read a book more often.
Which book? The Good Book?

Flat earth = the most pointless conspiracy theory...ever.
"We must convince people that the Earth is round, and not let them realise it's flat."
"Why?"
"Because. Just because."
The point of the globe is to hide intelligent design/creationism and it removes us from being the geocentric centre of the cosmos.
It replaces humanity from being the central drama of the universe/existence to merely a mutated fluke somewhere off on the finge of a galaxy on a small unimportant planet.
The globe deception hides our divinity and persuades people to buy into the notion of the big bang which is the most illogical concept conceivable.
It's all part of creating an apathetic egoistic materialistic culture
Plys they could be hiding more land.
@just another human As opposed to reality vs fantasy? Good grief you guys are such emotional toddlers and intellectual eunochs. You're terrified of the universe and the chaos in nature. So you try to concoct order by creating these conspiracy theories which give you the illusion of applying some control and dominance over what terrifies you the most: insignificance. Plus it makes your lives more exciting and makes you feel more important and superior to others, whereas really you're just crying into the void.
@@brettpowell2033 Who? Who's hiding it? Who's 'they'? The thing that fascinates me about this drivel is the sheer scale of this conspiracy that you believe, a conspiracy that has apparently spanned centuries, involved millions of people from all over the world from different countries and cultures and religions, scientists, physicians, philosophers, politicians, civilians, all for some unknown reason colluding to make everyone believe the earth is round for no clear discernible purpose. It's beyond ridiculous.
@@dougdougw Always funny when people claim a conspiracy whose size is almost as large as the people they'd be deceiving
"Many ancient cultures subscribed to a flat-Earth cosmography."
Name one.
Quite a few.
The challenge is coming up with one that didn't also believe in magic, monsters, and ghosts as well.
Need. More. David Mitchell!
His rant on QI about this is even more hilarious, and we found out that it's actually a very recent idea that the earth is flat, it wasn't really believed in the middle age and medieval times...
Correct. Humans knew and understood the Earth was round by majority since ancient Greece.
The idea that we live on a ball whizzing around the cosmos is also fairly bizarre when you think about it, I reckon. People have been questioning what we've been told about where we are eversince NASA tried to lie to us about going to the Moon. Official Apollo NASA photos have been proven to be fake thanks to photo editing software such as PS and there's a myriad of other things regarding the Apollo project that are highly suspect. When you get down to it the idea we live on a ball is a hypothesis at best, it really isn't as scientific as people would have you believe. For example the claim that large bodies of water can defy the laws of physics by forming themselves into spherical shapes outside of a container has yet to be demonstrated yet we all believe it to be fact. I posit that that is religious doctrine and has nothing to do with science.
@@mollykeane2571 Your worldview is based on who you can trust. If you don't trust no scientist, pilot, timezones, eclipses, tides, or any regular person with a telescope, please realize that it's actually you who was brainwashed. You trusted people who told you that you are special for believing flat earth idea, and that all the mentioned folks are idiots. If the the ball flying around the sun seems fantastic, congratulations, the reality is incredible. But it's much more consistent with observations than a firmament idea.
@@mollykeane2571 wtf are you on about
@@mollykeane2571 The problem with conspiracies is the more people involved in a conspiracy and the bigger it is the harder it is to keep a lid on it. That is just objective reality you only have to look at the likes of recent whistle blowers on stuff like the Panama papers, lockdown parties, Snowden and more to realise this. If the moon landing was fake it would have been blown long by now. Also as Russia was and still is America's rival. Why would they not expose it as fake. They would have everything to gain from it and nothing to lose instead they have never even tried to discredit it. If any country would take great pleasure in it being fake then it is them, it just doesn't make any sense that they wouldn't. Not to mention the astronauts left a reflector which can be used to measure the distance

I'd just like to take this opportunity to say Christopher Columbus thought the world was pear shaped.
I mean with the way things are right now he's not wrong
In which case, he was indeed closer to the actual shape of the earth than any flat earther.
Christopher Columbus didn't actually believe that. In reality it was just the church that told people that. Most educated men of the era, which Columbus was, assumed the world was round.
@@bubba842 No, it was the other way round.
Columbus was a moron who was saved by a continent popping up under him. He would have died before reaching India. Columbus Day should be celebrated as Lucky Idiot's Day.
