But now I appreciate everything Prof Dave does for science and science education. He is unapologetically brash. And I say, “ Go for it!” These idiots need to be called out.

I use the channel to assist me in seeking to further my understanding of as much as I can, as best as I can, and I didn't like that when I viewed the new stuff the shift in content made me feel like I was being both patronized a bit and also expected to join in on some good ol' public point and laugh shaming. I was wrong. I needed to have it shoved in my face exactly just how much noise this post-truth moment in our history is producing, and just how far through humanity that the moment has penetrated. I needed to have it pointed out again and again, till the point of numbness to it, and again and again further, till that numbness transitioned to shock, then faded to incredulity. I took the time to have a few careful conversations with people in my life and discovered that even among my close family and friends there are those who have started to fall for the amplified false consensus that science is dogmatic. These are generationally challenging times, and I'm not certain that the wanna-be aristocracy isn't winning. I now watch every single one of these videos I can, both so that I can reccommend them to the people who need to see them, but also to remind myself just how extremely far the pendulum is trying to swing. This is a fight worth fighting. Thanks for showing me that, Dave. I'll keep fighting with you, in my tiny and mostly insignificant way.

[@tjen7929]

It isn't a science. A science is when you can replicate theories in a lab to prove them true to make laws. That's why there are scientists who spend their careers just replicating experiments to see if they generate the same results. You cannot do this with medicine or medical theory. For example some medical practices work for groups of people but not all. Some smokers never have any health issues. No vaccines are 100% effective. That's all he was stating. That, along with the hubris of the scientific community has fostered conspiracy theories that makes it so people don't trust science anymore. He stated that Howard was fundamentally wrong in all aspects of math and science but that he may have ignorantly stumbled upon an idea that MIGHT have applications in drone engineering or art, and even questioned if they were his own ideas at all. He was just polite about it, noting that many 'hobbyists' have actually made contributions to real science and that people should never be discouraged from attempting things on their own or ridiculed because they are self-taught.

Dave, as a television producer, I can make a pretty accurate guess as to why you were suddenly “uninvited.” It seems they didn’t do sufficient due diligence before reaching out to you. Typically, they message dozens of people and then narrow it down. After you agreed, they likely did a deep dive and realized how you would be in calling people out on their BS which wouldn’t fit with their narrative. Not to mention, it might lose them, future guests. I’m guessing Eric’s agent or representative found out. Since Eric is trending right now, they probably didn’t want to stir things up. From a viewership standpoint, having Eric on would draw more eyeballs. Television is never about the truth; it’s always about the most entertainment.

Dave's channel exploded precisely because he started debunking grifters and frauds in the most disrespectful way he could manage. I don't think this is lost on Dave, since the focus of his channel has pivoted in that direction and he goes out of his way to drop as many insults as the pace of his videos will allow.

This is personal taste and I am 10 minutes in the video. I am fed up with this kind of content and those criminals (scammers and con artists like Weinstein). I hope Dave will switch to something more fruitful, than debunking those nuts in the future. I really can't care less about this circle-wanking: Creeps like Weinstein make money out of the gullible and produces his attention-seeking via other corrupt figures like this "tv-speaker" and then Dave has his views (with his important work of science communication[1]), which brings more attention to the scammers. I prefer to give such criminals NO PLATFORM. I'm done with such people and the content addressing them. We are in 2024! If people in the western world chose to believe in flat earth, Jebus, mystical numbers or other nonsense, they can. They are adults and contrary to some opinions, these guys know exactly what they do and how and why they give up their factual based decision making and instead believe some charlatans. It is their decision! Well, based on bad assumptions and further decision in their life will be also bad and will harm them. Which is what THEY chose und what they deserve. It is actually anti-democratic to inform those nuts more than once about what nonsense they are doing ... or even try to force them to "be normal". We cannot and we should not safe all people. We have first responders, hospitals, psychiatric institutions, public schools and so on ... That is enough. We can and should not babysit all "Erich von Däniken's" of the world and their followers. Just ignore those absolutely stoopid fellow hooomans and let them live their (obviously on average remarkably shortened) lifespan. That is the path they chose. If they act criminal and harmful ... we have the institutions, too. [1] Science Communication is important. But in the context of debunking nonsense ... It is getting old, boring, unbearable and really erases some important aspect of science: fascination. The permanent **FACEPALMING* during such content like this, PHYSICALLY drives out any fun, curiosity and enthusiasm of any human brain.

I told him that day and night cycles make a lot more sense with the sun on one side of the earth vs the sun being directly above it. (I used the Netflix series of Storybots to explain it very simply). I told him how most of the rays of the sun hit the middle of the earth, making seasons and weather in some countries different than other countries. And the flat earth model just doesn't explain this without using many leaps in logic. Then I showed him how he delegitmized scientists when when they spoke in favor of a round earth, but then credited them when flat earthers twisted thier words to seem like they spoke in favor of a flat earth. I also used the Netflix feature that showed the flat earther "scientists" do an experiment to disprove the round earth model, but then end up proving it is round. I can't remember the name of the documentary, but they used some expensive device. I used a flight app to show him planes do fly in certain parts of the world he said were impossible. I told him about flat earth being a community, where people can bond over a shared ideology vs an actual science. It was a long process, it didn't happen over night. I didn't badger him about it everyday. I would let him bring it up, or I would bring it up in a way to let him think it was his idea to talk about it. Sometimes I would talk about it with him only once a week, or two. If it started to get heated, I'd leave the conversation with a stinging rebuttal, before letting him have the last word. Pretty sure I used Prof Dave's arguments as well, from a previous video or two. But things like Storybots were very helpful as well. I stripped the entire idea of flat earth from him, bit by bit, until he himself had to admit his ideas no longer had an logical merit. At the end of it, he begrudgingly had to admit the earth is round. I was super proud of him!

I'm bummed out that I didn't find your channel until recently. But finding it now has renewed some hope, so maybe it's not such a bad thing to show up late to the party. Thank you for doing what you do and doing it so well.

It's always hilarious when ACTUAL religious people try to say something is bullshit by calling it "religion". 😂

It's a false equivocation to try and bring whatever they don't like to the same level as their unjustified beliefs.

[@md244-w6v]

They drag it down to their level and present it as just a case of some other take it on faith group trying to swindle them to their side. Despite it being nothing like that. It hurts to watch people approach life and what we genuinely learn of it in such a way.

I swear, the Dunning-Kruger effect is one of the most misunderstood and frequently misapplied concepts in the history of science. Ironically, one of the best demonstrations of the Dunning-Kruger effect is people who think they understand the Dunning-Kruger effect and try to use it as an argument: they know a little bit about the general idea and suddenly think they are experts on the subject.

[@micnorton9487]

Yeah but an HONEST definition of dunning kroger [sic] would indicate EVERYONE has it to some degree BUT MOST people have a functioning self-analysis capability so they question THEMSELVES before the effect becomes pronounced... Eric saying Neil deGrasse has a peer-review problem is just grinding his own anti-establishment axe for the anti-establishment conspiracy types,, so if ANYONE in that circle is suffering from dunning kreuger IT'S ERIC...

[@Breadbored.]

I read that whole comment expecting you to specify what they got wrong or elaborate on what it actually means beyond the basic understanding everybody has.

[@K4inan]

It's ironic how you are a perfect example of the dunning kruger effect with this reasoning 😂😂

[@evanstein3011]

I disagree. It's a fairly simple concept, and in an era of wide information availability but shallow understanding, it's the perfect descriptor for many people -- like those who read a Wikipedia article and think they understand a topic as well as those who have been studying it for years. It is used frequently but appropriately so, IMHO.

[@ferociousfeind8538]

Those who know, know that the REAL Dunning-Krüger effect was merely lower-performing people somewhat overestimating their abilities and higher-performing people somewhat underestimating their abilities, forming a flatter line than you'd expect, on the "predicted grade versus actual grade" graph

[@joco-ik4nx]

Thank you Professor Dave the voice of reason I’m so sick of these Internet experts

[@Nation4]

I am SOOOOOO happy the interwebs have you, Dave. Please keep it up and PLEASE get on more of these TV panels and debunk these people.

Remember folks, arguing with your mechanic who has 20 years experience repairing vehicles about "what they did wrong" when you have no years experience repairing vehicles is real science and engineering!

[@jimcarter2092]

Yes, as a former auto technician of 25 yrs. I can concur

[@blastortoise]

I've seen people do it. I've seen people who've clearly never worked a day in fast food ask fast food employees at burger king to run their meat through the grill again because it was "raw". BK has a slow rolling grill, meaning you can't just slap the meat on and take it off in 2 minutes, nono, it goes for the full 5. That lady got a hockey puck.

[@perfect9867]

They couldn’t handle professor Dave’s realness and indiscriminate honesty! Someone was like, “ wait, we can’t have professor Dave on here making everyone looking like the fools we are.”

Sounds like a LOT of people don’t even know what the definition of science is. It’s not a popularity contest. It’s not an opinion. It’s not a belief.

I loved it. Dave is wrong about not voting Democrat though. It's the only way to avoid fascist rule at this point and at least for the time being. We should always seek to keep the GOP out of power any way we can.
