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 Earth/Space Science teacher. The “they taught flat Earth in the 20s and 30s” makes me crazy. Because of my interests, I collect old science text books. I have texts from the 40s and 60s that teach, and show a spherical Earth. Oh….that’s 1840s and 1860s. So…….

This is something that would be on GTA 5 radio

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

Is the shaun guy secretely the Joker? He maintained that unsettling grin for 1 hour straight.

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

The most aggressive science lesson I've ever had.

Shaun looks like he’s very pleased that we’re distracted with flat earth, instead of focusing on lizard people wearing human skinsuits.

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

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

10:47 this is probably one of the most fascinating moments I’ve ever seen in one of these. He just very plainly and accurately describes the method by which stars form out of gasses in a vacuum, in a way that makes perfect sense, and then just declares that it doesn’t make sense. “So what you’re saying all this spread out gas with very little initial gravitational interaction slowly gets closer together creating slightly more dense regions that then have the capacity to pull in more gasses and snowball until there’s enough density for stars to be born? I’m sorry but that doesn’t make sense.”

10 years ago, I thought flat-earthers were an intentional joke. A decade later I think there are actual people who believe this crap.

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"

Serious question. If the photos of the Earth are photoshopped, when was this done? According to FE we didn’t go to the Moon because we didn’t have the technology, but according to them we had amazing CGI and photoshop to make fake photos of the Earth. Which is it? Thanks.
