B) A con artist who knows exactly what they are doing and are using this platform for personal gain at the expense of all the type A's.

Nathan, I was in the Air Force... and when confronted by someone who refuses to accept proven information, methods, and processes over and over again, we have a simple expression, "You can't fix stupid." There is a difference between ignorant and stupid, and in this case, he most definitely fits the description of "Stupid" which the Oxford dictionary describes as, "Having or showing a great lack of intelligence or common sense." In this case the latter. Sad but so.

I still to this day don't understand what's the actual end goal of a flat earther? There's nothing they are proposing, like a model, that makes better predictions or anything of the sort. If anything anytime they come up with some kind of model to explain a specific phenomenon. It just reveals even more problems that require even more unlikely explanations. Like how they try to explain seasons. A sun that controls it's revolution speed and size is somehow more plausible than a spinning globe earth? Trying to debate a flat earther is like playing a board game with that cousin of yours who starts making up rules on the spot to favor his particular situation. Special pleading all the way down.

i love the way flatties go on that pictures of the globe earth are CGI, yet they don't even have a picture of anything. lol. love your vids.

I measure the earth for a living. It's a globe.

Good to see a well argued video full of real science, real observation, and genuine facts. Trying to fight stupid is a bit of an uphill struggle, but you keep it real, and you make sense. Good on you!

@@jjevans1693 ​ @JJ Evans If you can't see it, that's not my problem. What Dave does here is show you why what we observe - when we look at it properly (aka doing science) bears out the fact that the heliocentric globe model is correct, despite what Nathan might try and suggest. But like Torq suggests, keep an open mind and read a book. Brian Cox' '"Universal" does a good job of explaining why we know what we know.

The people who say "do your own research" never want to try the experiments that would show them to be wrong.

Or jeranism, whose vigorously announced Victoria Canal experiment (for the same documentary) confirmed the exact amount of curvature the globe model expects which he found "interesting" -- but is no longer referenced on his channel. Or jeranism, who personally proved the ISS is exactly where "they" say it is -- then deleted that video as well after presumably discovering how quick the people paying his bills are to call him a NASA shill based on the results of his experiments...

There’s no point in trying to debate Nathan. He knows the earth is a globe, he’s just a loud noise clinging onto his sheep for the money.

I was just looking at the almost full moon with my binoculars from my porch last night. It was so gorgeous out. I could see the obvious spherical shape of it. For me to say it isn’t obviously spherical would be a total lie from my observations. They’re just either incapable of recognizing a sphere (I would imagine some people are actually that dense) or they’re being totally dishonest.

One of the best compilations of simple flat earth debunks I've seen. Apparently, it appears, the refrain "flat earthers are even dumber than I thought" will live forever in my mind, consistently reaffirmed. Thanks.

I mean, there's a reason Nathan never leaves his echo chamber.

It's funny as the doggo''s tail keeps beating the furniture at the very beginning.

I love the theory that gravity doesn't exist but the flat earth is miraculously moving perfectly upward to create perfect downforce😂😂😂

Not just moving upward - *accelerating* upward, meaning there is no speed of light and infinite acceleration is possible. These people are beyond out of touch with reality.

If this your first encounter with Nathan Oakley? Nathan Oakley has a particular 'debate' style (using the term loosely). Make no claims (so can never be debunked), and attempt to debunk all opposing viewpoints with semantics, mis conceptions and outright lies. Welcome to a debate with Nathan Oakley. On a separate note, over the course of the month, there is a slight wobble that allows us to see about 59% of the moon's surface. if we can see more than half, and at all times the moon looks 'round' for all directions/perspectives, then it has to be a 3D sphere. It cannot be 'flat', it can ONLY be a sphere.

Look up "Stereoscope photos Moon". Photographers taking photos of the moon a few months apart makes use of the Moons Libration and gives a very 3D view (some better than others). If you have a VR head set (or similar) they work really well. If not, but you can cross your eyes well, then copy the image, crop and save the two halves separately, swap their positions and display side by side on a screen and cross your eyes. You will have two flat images flanking a beautiful 3D image in the middle :) The Moon looks like a ball stuck on a black background. :)
