I think Will Duffy is a bit naive. It sounds like he genuinely thinks these flat earthers believe in what they preach. These guys are grifters.

[@dieSpinnt]

I think this was the totally wrong move. Instead of financing a holiday trip, we should help them getting medical treatment. I know the American health system is worse than the idea of a flat-earth, so lets provide them access to a professional psychiatric hospital and the absolutely needed medication for some months. This would be much more ethical from a humanistic perspective, as all of that nonsense is only about making money and content ... while harming other gullible people in the process (which is in some cases a criminal act ... so that is another thing). In my country, uttering such nonsense in public will get you the attention of the public prosecutor, who is able to order a psychological evaluation and if you are a danger to yourself and others. If needed, you will get the help needed. Royalty free! I also ask you to think about the perception of Germans and their take on humor. Most of it is stereotypical and not true. Anyways, I wish a good journey and some cold "Eisbock" (Eisbock is a beer specialty in which water is removed from the finished beer by freezing). Have a good one, friends!:)

There's definitely a deep psychological reason why Flat-earthers exist. My guess is a lot of them feel unimportant and insignificant in life. They feel like they truely don't matter and have no purpose to exist... By stating that they're part of a select minority of humans who know "THE TRUTH", it makes them feel special after living decades as a nobody. These are people who sit in bed each night and wonder "I was meant for something more; why didn't I amount to anything?!" I guarantee if Flat Earth was eventually proven wrong to these people to the point they couldn't argue it further, many of them (if not most of them) would fall into a VERY deep depression because you've sent them back to their cruel reality of unimportance.

[@mmerri9780]

[@legojay14]

And the grifters see an opportunity in these people. They know it's bullshit. They've known it's bullshit the whole time. The ones who didn't are dead. Denying the earth's shape will inevitably lead to denying things like medicine and needing food. But most will never have it proven enough for them. Preserving their ego is far to important. As in they'll feel like their dying if its proven hard enough. So they'll throw their hands over their heads and shriek to avoid reality. Or they'll simply kill themselves when it fully sinks in how much time and money they wasted on nonsense. And the fact they will never ever wash off the label of flat earther now. If they realized their mistake. Then people see them as simply gullible. But if the truth had to be forced. Their intelligence is treated as inferior forever.

[@adaephon]

I have to imagine the venn diagram between the Flerfs and narcissism is almost a perfect circle. If this experiment has demonstrated anything already, it's that they dont want to gather evidence and learn about reality, they want to be able to assert what reality is. They do not care about truth, only about positioning themselves as the lone voice in the wilderness who is smarter than every expert you can imagine, while never having to put in a fraction of the work to understand real science. Ive got to agree with Professor Dave sadly that I dont think this will change much with Flerfs. They dont approach this subject as scientists, but like a doomsday cult with a science veneer. "The sun being visible 24 hours at the pole is fine actually/a deep fake and we'll be able to prove Flat Earth exists any day now."

[@tonylast7293]

Yes I agree, it's a coping mechanism, which also explains why most of them have a low level of education. Most likely, many of them weren't successful in academia, which also lead to a lack of success in finding a job, and thus they beganindulging in such fantasies. I would argue that's one side of flat-earthers. But I couldn't help but notice many young people adopting this type of behaviour, due to the influence of social media disinformation.

They really need to take some remedial physics and understand how force vectors interact

[@derinderruheliegt]

In a sense that is what aircraft have to do to follow earth’s curvature. However it is so gradual that it’s almost imperceptible. Older style gyroscopes are air-powered (still prevalent in small private airplanes). They include a mechanism with pendulous vanes, which are like small doors on a single hinge point, such that they align vertically with earth’s gravity. When the gyro mechanism tilts, such that the _vanes_ are still aligned with gravity, but the _mechanism_ isn’t, small air ports become uncovered and a jet of air emits causing the mechanism to realign to the local direction of gravity, normal to earth’s surface. Modern gyroscopes are ring-laser-gyros and operate off relativistic calculations of reflected light within a closed mechanism.

[@derinderruheliegt]

BTW you can estimate the angular rate of “nose dip” by assuming an aircraft circumnavigating the globe at a given speed. A large airliner at 600 mph would traverse earth’s circumference (about 24,901 miles) in 41.5 hours. That means the nose comes full circle in 41.5 hrs … or 0.15 degrees a minute.

Flat earthers all seem to have one thing in common, the inability to properly visualise things spatially. They would have all failed industrial arts classs at school where one has to look at an object and then draw it from different perspectives.

[@donnievance1942]

I had this same thought. Their problem is an inability of spatial visualization. And an inability to translate back and forth from words to visual imagery. That's why nobody can argue with them. You can't get them to even understand what you're saying. I once had a female friend who couldn't look at a map and translate that to a knowledge of how to get somewhere. You had to give her instructions like, "Go down road X for two miles, then turn left after a green barn with a red roof. After a quarter mile, the road will fork off. Take the right fork.... etc." Forget about drawing her a map. She was utterly incapable of interpreting such a thing, even though, for most people, the map is far preferable to a linear verbal narrative, which often entails all kinds of ambiguities. She was quite intelligent otherwise. That's when I realized that some people must have a genetic inability to manipulate or even hold visual images in their minds. A similar phenomenon is "face blindness," which is an inability to remember and recognize faces. Most humans are born with a specialized mental ability to do this. But some people (and there a lot more of them than you might expect) are completely unable to do this. You might have known them intimately for ten years, but they won't recognize you in the grocery store until you speak. At that point they'll probably recognize your voice. There was a grocery store clerk in my neighborhood like that. I had many short conversations with her over the years, so she had to know who I was, but every time I would step up to the check-out counter, she would give me a blank look like she had never seen me before in her life. I thought that maybe she was just an unfriendly person until I saw a video about face blindness, and then I understood. Such people tend to compensate with things like remembering explicit verbal concepts like "Jenny has a pony-tail, is about 6 inches taller than me, etc. And voice recognition is another tool for them. Of course, that doesn't help until they speak. Their disability causes a lot of embarrassment for them in life, such as people being offended when they don't greet them in public, etc. People think, "Wow. She's giving me the cold shoulder," when it wasn't intentional at all.

They can't all be grifters - because a grifter wouldn't waste time watching all this tripe, and there are a lot of FE viewers. What are their thoughts like? Why wouldn't those actual believers they stop believing, or at least become suspucious, when the grifters are being so weird and are refusing to go?

[@Crowbars2]

Exactly! If any of these morons *actually* believed the Earth was flat, they'd go on that free trip to Antartica instantly. Instantly. With all the BS they spew about a global conspiracy, and how everyone who believes in the globe Earth are "sheep", and how there's a collective army made up of soliders from many nations guarding Antarctica to stop people going there to prevent people finding out the truth; anyone who truly believes the Earth is flat would absolutely *jump* at the chance to finally get one over on the "world government", and prove that NASA, the US government, that every astronomer and cosmologist was wrong and that they were correct all along. The only reason that they'd refuse to go is because they already know that the Earth is an sphere, and they make good money from making BS flat Earth content. They also know that they'd no longer be able to peddle their flat Earth nonsense anymore if they go on a very publicised journey to Antarctica and have the flat Earth proven so clearly wrong. They'd be exposed to a much bigger audience than they ever were before with the Antarctica trip. An audience that would not relent in saying how much of a lying fraud they are with every single video or post they'd continue to make about flat Earth for years afterwards. They know that no matter what happens, going on the trip would be the end of their flerfie content.

You don't have to call yours a HOH if you don't want to. Anyway, it allows me to take a picture with a demonstrated eye level in it, horizontal at the device's centre, with other hills in the background. It'd work better with manual aperture and focus control, but i t worked well enough. The simple version of using it is that from each of two peaks of similar altitude, like Carnedd Llewellyn and Scafell Pike or Black Hambleton and Greenhow Hill or Brown Clee Hill and a particular junction of stone walls on the east side of a particular hill in the Peak District, you can see the other below eye level. The more complicated version involves taking actual measurements and calculating the angles, as demonstrated in my follow-up doing the maths to get an actual (refracted) radius value.

In 2019 or 2020 he was in a nursing home, iirc, and there was a birthday party for a 101-year-old resident. To my best recollection, Weiss saw her alone & talked to her, convincing her that she was taught the earth was flat as a child, then "they" started lying about it in the 1950s. He kept going until she was crying over being lied to most of her life. He kneeled beside her and took a selfie with a lizard like smile on his face. On her 101st birthday.
