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

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?

If the Earth was really flat, Flat Earthers would think it was a globe.

This guys ability to handle being called stupid and a moron every 3 minutes is astounding

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.

Can’t believe a grown ass adult is asking “where does the sun go at night” level questions and then rejecting the answer

"if the earth is round why doesn't this thing happen" "it does happen" "nuh uh!" -this entire debate

I'm convinced the majority of flat earthers don't actually believe it's flat but just want to believe that some evil world government is lying to them.

The most aggressive science lesson I've ever had.

It's hard to win a debate with an intelligent person. It's impossible to win a debate with a dumb person.

Honestly, at the point FE Dave said "No I want to move on to something else" in response to Dave saying "Would you like to respond to the refutation of the point that YOU brought up, about not understanding how objects further away exert less gravitational force on other objects," I would have just quit there. There is no way for this to be a productive conversation. "Oh your model believes this so this doesn't make sense." "Uhm no actually we believe this and this is how it works." "Yeah well here's this other thing..." "I'm sorry do you want to take back what you said or in some way show your growth in understanding of my position or at least acknowledge that you represented my position incorrectly?" "No because I have other points." Waste of fuffing time.

"people live at the south pole?" "yeah" "prove it" THIS PART REALLY GOT ME

I love how his whole argument is basically "I don't understand how physics, astronomy, etc...works so therefore I am right"

It is scary to think that a 1989 smart watch could probably outperform any flat earthers brain😳

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.

I laughed so loud when dave asked him "do you want to adress this thing or do you want to move on to something else" and homie straight face just says "I want to move on to something else"

Easy win, Dave absolutely recked Dave. Dave didn’t stand a chance against Dave’s superior reasoning

"Can you explain seasons on a globe?" "The Earth is tilted... Concentration of Sunlight over an area... Can you explain seasons on a Flat Earth?" "No."

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.
