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

For months now, hordes of idiots have been lurking in my comments sections, aggressively insisting that I need to debate David Weiss, because he's some kind of flat earth messiah who is undebunkable, and I should cower in the face of his might. Of course I ignored them because he is a two-bit charlatan and who cares what idiots say, but then a channel with almost 700k subscribers asked if I would debate Weiss on his channel, and I figured it might be a good way to pick up a few subscribers, and also humiliate a flat earth icon irreparably in the process. And folks, that's exactly what happened. From the moment he opened his mouth to the moment we left the stream, I took every single word he said and demonstrated in real time how David Weiss is a science illiterate moron that doesn't understand basic concepts learned in elementary school, just like every other pointless flat earth grifter. Anyone who watches this exchange and still refers to him as a credible source of information is in complete denial of reality and hopelessly unreachable. Of course that describes most flat earthers, so I'll see you dummies in the comments section complaining about what a meany mean-pants I am instead of admitting to yourself that you are completely unable to address a single thing I said in this absolutely airtight, relentless destruction of a toxic influence on society. Toodles!

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?

I wholeheartedly believe that this guy deserved everything you gave to him, but I disagree with the general sentiment that politeness toward a person you have a disagreement with gives weight to their argument. You can unwaveringly insist that someone is blatantly wrong about something without insulting them. One more time to be absolutely clear though: Fuck FlatEarthDave

[@IndyRegalado]

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.

My favourite is flat earth Dave's insistence on an explanation for the sun orbiting the earth in order for the Eratosthenes experiment to have validity. It's an experiment in and about _geometry,_ and the geometry is valid provided there is relative rotation, regardless of where the centre of rotation is. If you think about it, it's only really once people started understanding gravity and its consequences that they had a way of distinguishing between geocentric and heliocentric models.

I used to work with a guy who is a flat earther. I never dismiss someone's beliefs out of hand without giving them serious thought and consideration. For that reason, I bought this book: 100 Proofs Earth is Not a Globe. I honestly believed and expected it to contain well written, thought provoking proofs. However, the vast majority of the proofs were of a form similar to this: [statement that clearly demonstrates a lack of understanding of an area of science] followed by, therefore the earth is not a globe. A good deal of the others were simple personal incredulity: I can't believe that, therefore that's not true, therefore the earth is not a globe. I had several discussions with this co-worker. I even created a diagram based on the flat earth model to demonstrate that what we see does not agree with the flat earth model. What I learned from these discussions is that science is wrong, math is wrong, geometry is a lie. What I eventually realized was that flat earth is a religious belief and like all religious beliefs it does not require scientific proof. For that reason, providing scientific proof that counters the flat earth model falls on deaf ears.

“The amount of day and night that objectively happens in a place depends on *your* latitude?” “Absolutely, 100%!”

Right at the beginning, when he said lets fine 'common ground'; I pretty much died. You can't find common ground when you're literally not on the same planet.

Be it a spherical or flat one.

They say ‘Once you go flat, you never go back.’ I’ve actually tried convincing myself the earth is flat (I’m a masochist) and I just can’t do it.

[@Blackreaper777]

I've seen someone else do it too. I guess the idea of establishing the so called common ground is to make flat Earth look reasonable or valid or something. Look, we agree on this, this and this and we just simply disagree on conclusion. If it's not that, then I have no idea what is the point of this common ground.

[@robertbower7461]

Yeah, and then tries to use the magnetic declination figures to prove a false statement!! Talk about moving the goalposts! This guy knows the earth is a sphere. He’s a con man. Only an idiot would claim to search for the truth and then show no interest in the beautiful mathematically correct globe model that ticks all the boxes, with no model of his own to compare with. Total scum bag.

[@chenyansong]

If this guy knew how to do math he should have figured out that he was tricked by Prof. Dave and figured out that sun’s gravity pull on moon is twice as strong as earth’s pull on moon.

It might help the "debate" if flat earth guy watched and studied Dave's math and physics tutorials. Oh wait, then there would be no debate.

This was absoluty hilarious - “your entire existence is being a dick to science” made me snort my Pepsi zero - this and Prof Dave’s infamous *debate* with the now full psycho James Tour (DRAW, MR. FARINA!!! *brandishing chalk menacingly). I humbly suggest that Prof Dave have a mug available for Hanukkah/Yuletide/Christmas that says “Cynical Prick” with Dave’s awesome thumbnail. Maybe “DRAW, MR. FARINA” on the back! The funds of course can go to some good cause Prof Dave supports.

Electrostatic forces probably aid the initial clumping of dust particles but yes, the exact mechanics of dust and gas collapse is not fully understood but ultimately it is gravitational collapse and the heat produced from the loss of gravitational potential energy that causes planets to start off with molten interiors and, with enough pressure that heat also initiates fusion.

Dave Weiss repeatedly uses the expression, "In your world..." They're the closest times he ever gets to being right, but not for the reasons he intends.
