Destroying Flat Earth Without Using Science - Part 4: The Conspiracy 

As an aerospace engineer, I can confirm the sex party ritual is required to obtain your degree.

Imagine being one of those people who studied Physics for years through school, then University, then getting your masters. And you're super excited to start on your career as a physicist, and then first day on the job the boss calls you into their office and says "btw, all that stuff you learnt over the last 10 years or so...it's all a lie. We don't actually do any work, we just sit around playing video games all day and then tell people we've discovered something new." What a mindfuck that would be.

Aerospace engineer here. I got inducted to the conspiracy the first day of my first job. You wouldn't believe the ceremony. The drugs were insane and the human sacrifices were incredible! Let me tell you, working at Lockheed Martin is nothing like the job listings.

If the earth was flat, someone would have monetized it by now, cruises to the edge of the earth, flights over the ice wall to see a great view of space.

Im considered the stupidest amongst my friends but like they keep on saying "at least you're not a flat earther" and this makes me proud of myself

ngl, that conspiracy where every scientist serves under one entity to lie about things makes for a really good fictional story

Best tip I've found is that you can't convince someone out of being stupid. You can only lead them to do it themselves. Legit just ask them how things work. The moment they mention some BS... ask them how that works. Then how X interacts with Y. Genuine questions, not pointed. Basically, lead them to try and answer the questions you think will help them understand they're wrong. The moment they say "I don't know" Tell them you're actually really curious about it... then ask them if they can find the answer. You can't convince someone out of being stupid, but you can leave them with the questions that require answers that WILL convince them out of it... and the moment you come at it from a point of wanting THEM to explain it, you cease to be part of a group trying to mislead them. Never state "Hey... this wouldn't work". Just go "Hey... I noticed this. How would these two things work together?" People don't like cognitive dissonance, which is why they ignore the facts and avoid the people presenting those facts. If you make the dissonance come from within themselves, it'll eat them from inside out until they're done. It's how my mom got out of being a Jehovah's Witness. It's a pretty useful technique.

I love how he gets more passive aggressive with each episode of this series… and with good reason!

The funniest thing for me is flath earthers typing "science is fake" on a device solely created through science LMAO

If the earth is flat, Why aren’t we constantly being attacked by slimes? Edit: To those that say mob spawning is off, Explain Mosquitoes,

"Any god who is so weak that it can be hidden by its own creations is clearly not worth worshipping" is a RAW ass line

man, the idea that there are more people in on the lie than "sheeple" who are being deceived made me laugh out loud so freaking hard. imagine if the whole earth was just a gigantic truman show with actors and liars abound, just to play a prank on a select few? its unimaginably funny

I love the fact that according to their logic Trump was in on the conspiracy and he managed to not tell anyone for 5 years

I always like to out-maneuver the conspiracy theorists. "I believe the earth is flat." "Oh, you're one of those people who believe the earth exists? You're really fine with giving in to what they want you to believe?"

I believe that flat-Earthers were put here for a very serious reason. They give rational and intelligent people comic relief in a tedious world. They are as important as Abbott & Costello, Beavis & Butthead and Marjorie Taylor Green & Lauren Boebert. They give us all someone willfully ignorant that we can point and laugh at without feeling guilty.

Who would win? 1. Centuries of scientific research, that have proven extremely precise in guiding everything we do. 2. "That's what they want you to think"

Part 5: Cats If the world were flat cats would have pushed everything off it millenia ago

I really struggled as a physics undergrad and switched to business. Now I'm really disappointed, because if I'd managed to make it a few more years, I would've gotten invited to the sex orgy and gotten paid to lie for the Illuminati and getting to play video games my whole life! 😔

I‘m asexual and going to start studying physics in a few months. Please keep me out of the haunted mansion sex party and just fill me in on the conspiracy in a quick briefing, thank you very much.

As a former rightwinger, they worked really hard to teach us to ignore any bit of information that doesn't fit our worldview, whatever that is. So no amount of info will ever convince those who have accepted that mental paradigm and who've adopted flat earth theory. You could literally take them into space and they'd just be like "oh, personal sphere, I get it" and still believe the earth is flat.

I walked off the edge of the earth the other day... luckily I was rescued by the giant turtle holding up the earth on its shell! Phew! Close call! 🐢🤟

This wasn't a debunking of flat-earth. It was a merciless decimation. And it was beautiful.

I'm catholic and, like many of my peers, I do believe that Earth is not flat. Science and religion can be compatible. The pope said so himself. As for many who believe the Earth is flat, it's usually because they interpret the Bible literally and think that hiding this interpretation would hide God from the world. In practice, the Bible has many metaphorical texts and Genesis is one of them.

I discovered recently that an acquaintance of mine is a flat earther. I found one thing he just kept avoiding answering me: I asked him why we haven't seen the edge of his pizza world yet? There is no footage of it. I mean surely there must be some rich flat earther that could have shot up a sattelite, hired a jet, a plane or a helicopter and flew to the end of the world and film / footage it?

I actually met a real life flat earther the other day. I'm a bartender and they were at my bar, as a customer. I laughed out loud, thinking it was a joke. Then, I saw that she was serious. I had to chill, she's a customer. But, I couldn't help myself and launched into so super obvious examples. We politely changed the subject. But, fucking wow. It was like seeing a bigfoot. These people actually exist. For real. In real life. It is actually as fascinating as it is sad.

I actually had one Flat Earther say to me, "If we really did land on the moon, why didn't Neil Armstrong bring back some green cheese?" Can't argue with logic like that!

Absolute genius, with all the incontrovertible evidence my biggest regret is that I missed the sex party indoctrination in the second year of my physics degree, damn 😂.

You could fly a flat-earther to space and they would still say the windows are screens.

I've met a flat earther irl, and oh boy what an exhausting conversation it was. It's not even like talking to a wall, it's like talking to super advanced AI that's sole purpose is to sound as confusing and irritating as possible. It was like a misaligned tile in your bathroom that's stuck there forever, hurting your eyes every time you look at it, was a person. If there's one person on the planet, whose beliefs and way of living is solid fucking titanium-hard immovable object that will NEVER change under any circumstances, i insist on believing that it was this particular dude. It's literally like meeting that annoying troll that's dedicated to talk to you with the sole purpose of annoying you by talking things that hurt your IQ, and it turns out that's how he is even in real life, and he just can't help it. It left me scarred. I once read a story of a flat earther so determined to prove the earth is flat, that he actually started to conduct some scientific experiments. But those experiments were simple and giving no results (according to him), so the madlad actually flew to antarctica, travelled to a north pole with some guide using gps and compass and some other stuff along the entire way. BUT IT WASN'T ENOUGH so he just fucking went to a stratospheric flight, i don't remember correctly but there was something about sending a camera into space??? Well, i don't recall very well but the point is that in the end he saw earth's curvature with his own eyes, and returned to announce that they were all wrong. He stopped being flat earther, he saw the truth and just couldn't deny it any more... ...every other dude in his flat-group said that he's been bought by CIA and called him an agent of Illuminati... like for real, they expelled him from the fucking group after he showed them his material, which were pictures and videos of both him on Antarctica and him seeing space and earth from space. Dude spent over a year doing all these stuff and they said nah. I refused to believe it was real and that someone would go so far, but after i met that one dude, i started believing that this indeed happened. I mean, with all the shit going on in florida, this isn't so weird.

It’s amazing how this conspiracy “theory” falls apart with even the slightest amount of thought.

This is actually more convincing than any science and definitely much more hilarious 😂

You are very wrong saying that there is no reason to fake the shape of the Earth, by saying it's round they get to have science and teach maths and physics in school, which is a death threat to flat earthers' brains.

Dave has done it. He has debunked flat earth with the existence of flat-earthers.

"Dumbest hoax on the Internet" is one hell of an impressive achievement. There should be an international (you might say, "global") award for that.

“Why be mad at a secret shadow government? The regular government sucks. Be mad at them.” - Milo, the Mini Minuteman.

It seems to me that one of the main reasons why flat earthers think the earth is flat is because they can’t wrap there head around the idea that you could walk around a sphere and not fall off whereas walking on a flat surface feels more intuitive. But can anyone tell me what their response is when they are asked why objects are pulled in a downward direction? Even if the earth earth was flat there would still need to be some explanation for why things are always pulled downwards. Do they believe that there is just a universal rule where up and down have defined absolute directions and everything falls downwards just….cos? They may not like gravity but their model can’t exist without some explanation of gravity either

Let's be honest. 1.1K people disliked this because they can't handle the truth.

Flat Earth Sex Party would be a pretty kick ass name for a band.

Hey Dave..... as an Aviator I want to say thank you for what you've done for REALITY. I'm not aware who's reached out to you on the following matter but as a BLACK MAN I want to say, THANK YOU FOR THE WAY YOU EXPOSED JESSE FOR WHO/WHAT HE REALLY IS on that debate. He does not and I repeat DOES NOT speak for the black community impoverished, privileged or dead past present nor future and absolutely most definitely doesn't speak for Christians. Stay great bro. Peace and love ✊🏾

Binge watching this playlist clearly shows Dave's change in tone towards flat-earthers from calmly explaining why the Earth is a globe to straight-up calling them idiots for believing the Earth is flat. I love it!

President: "Tadah, it was a prank! The world is actually flat!" Cabinet: "Sir, we spent quadrillions of dollars and you do a planet reveal?"

Also, lighthouse architects must be in on the conspiracy too, as they calculate the minimum amount of material that would be needed for their light to be seen at whatever distance is required based on the mathematics of the spherical Earth.

I saw a documentary about flat earth. It was called "Dumbasses".

This struck a chord with me. About 15 years ago when I was working as a network technician for the Federal Government I was in a small office with four other men. One day our cleaning lady came in. She was always on about nutrition and particularly things like trans fats. After she had made a declaration one day I countered with information I got from my daughter who has a master's degree in human nutrition and nutraceuticals. The cleaning lady's reply? " Oh, she's too educated; she'd never understand!" Our jaws just about hit the floor! That sums up conspiracy theories for me.

It's just impossible to convince them, even if you flew them out into outer space and they saw the entire planet through the window of the rocket they would probably argue that the windows are curved like a fisheye lens.

"Any god so weak who can be hidden by his creation is not worth worshipping" I finished this video 3 hours ago, I am still at this

This is my favorite argument against Flat Earth, or any conspiracy theory. Once you start asking How and Why, the argument disintegrates. As you point out, there is just no way that SO many people were involved in this for SO long for no real gain.

I still can't believe this needed to be explained to anyone older than 5 years.

As an aerospace engineering student, I reeeeeeeally hope the sex parties thing is real, but the only thing that's going to fuck me is fluid mechanics and thermodynamics.

I remember when flat earth was a joke online. The fact people actually fell for it and took it seriously is hilarious but also scary.

In highschool I read a book called 101 facts that prove the Earth is flat, it made a believer out of me. But you have brought me back to the side of the sane. Thank you.

I'd like to hear more about these sex parties. For scientific reasons, of course.

The part about this conspiracy that really fucks with my head is the fact that it creates a paradox in itself. Because in order for the earth being flat to be a secret, literally at least half the population would have to know that the earth is flat and for some reason is hiding it from the less educated people

2:23 That GD demon face there, killed me laughing. I wasnt expecting ANYTHING related to any media I enjoy in this video.

The end of a legacy, and the start of a legend. Never stop calling out hoaxes and stupidity, Dave. It may not seem like it, but it works, and it matters.

What's truly and ironically hilarious is that the possibility of Darth Sidious existing is greater than the possibility of the Earth being flat. After all, it did happen a long time ago in a galaxy far far away..

The flat earth conspiracy takes advantage of the human desire to feel special or superior to draw in new members. Edit: “do your research” isn’t a good response to a question you don’t want to answer.

I worked for NASA for 5 years. I never got a payout,...they owe me.

elementary school grad here, before we got our caps we had to swear on pain of death that we would never ever tell the sheeple about flat earth.

I actually went to Antarctica. We evaded military patrols and reptilian royal guardsmen for weeks, until at last we came up The Wall ... a wall so big it would dwarf even Donald Trump's wildest dreams. With climbing spikes and ropes, we climbed the wall. The 100km climb took us days, and we finally reached the top. When we made it to the top, we found a series of mostly abandoned ancient alien fortresses and buildings. The top of the wall was about 50km wide, and it took us some time to reach the far side and look down at what lay beyond. What we saw was an entire _other_ world beyond! Dense forests, frozen mountains and snowy tundra, even deserts off in the distance. We used our telescope to search the distant lands for signs of life. We saw native people living there, as well as monsters and creatures beyond your wildest imagining! We even saw what we could only describe as the White Walkers, leading armies across the lands. They looked up at us with cold, blue eyes and I know they saw us. We were chilled to the bone with terror, so we ran back to the opposite edge of the wall. There we assembled our hang gliders, and we leapt from the top of the wall. We glided back to southern Chíle, landing at around 5pm, and went and enjoyed some tacos. This is the first time I've ever spoken about this expedition. The world isn't flat or round, it's infinite and the further you go the more Earth spawns! 😉

Yup I remember clearly my first day of physics 101 like it was yesterday. We were brought before the supreme overlords to swear allegiance. A few initially refused, but after their liquification and replacement everyone complied. Shortly after the head of the physics department walked out smoking a golden cigar. He lead our class through a massive series of tunnels that put the Cave of Wonders to shame. There was gold, jewels, statues, paintings piled higher than the eyes can see. And ooooo the women. The price was easy enough. We just had to invent new ways to lie about the shape of the planet. While we may have been dragged along at first, after that first night there were none more dedicated to the cause. Good times. Thanks for the reminder Comrade Dave. See yah on poker night.

I'm an engineering student and physics is a major subject so can anyone tell WHY NO ONE INVITED ME TO THE MANSION S3X PARTY. This is sooooo unfair

"Delusional narcissist with no skill set", absolute gold Dave! Keep up the great work.

Please go after young earth creationists who think the world is only 6-10,000 years old.

The flat earthers are the ones that got frustrated because they couldn't draw a simple sphere at school

8:48 that little jab against Star Wars the rise of Skywalker in a debunking flat Earth video was unexpected, but appreciated!

Sometimes when I’m feeling down. I like to go through this and other debunks comment sections. And Dave is still down here with his delightfully scathing replies. Keep up the good work dave

I think Shakespeare, said it the best. "A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool."

Imagine a flat earther riding a Starship and would argue that the windows are just displays for 8 months Edit: bro how is this comment still getting attention...

POV: you're looking at the newest comments to find more flat earthers to laugh at

In the circle of "liars" you can put inside: pilots, meteorologists, aeronautical engineers, cartographists...

From what I know about politics, it would take 5 minutes tops for some leader of a country to blow it open to harm some other world leader's reputation.

I honestly didn't knew people thought the earth was flat until I had social media.. and at first I thought it was a meme or like a joke.. but no they really were serious..

It's not even a "the shills outnumber the sheeps", it's that so many people would have to be in on it, literally every person in existence would have to be in on it, and at that point, why even have a conspiracy?

I mean, that’s a thing with a lot of conspiracy theories. The orchestrators of the conspiracy somehow have to be geniuses and idiots at the same time for them to work.

When I was training as a navigator in the Royal Navy.. everyday I was expecting the knock on the door and being told that the lines of longitude didn’t converge south of the equator..and I would need to use these secret charts that showed the true distances and the huge ice wall.. oh and special compass to go east or west and indeed south in Antarctica ! They never came .. and guess what the charts I used around the Falklands were a perfect fit for a globe earth ! Can any flat earther that has never navigated a ship around Antarctica .. explain that one to me ? I’m waiting

If this doesn't convince people that the earth isn't flat then nothing will. Even the ancient Greeks knew that the earth was spherical in shape.

This has always been my thought since I first heard people believe flat earth theories. "Okay, let's say you're right, Mr. Flat Earther. Let's say the Earth is actually flat. So what? Why lie about the shape of the Earth? Why say it's a Sphere? It's not like anyone is going to say, 'The Earth is shaped differently than we were told?! Marge! Pack your bags! We're outta here!' If the Earth was a frickin' cube, then it's been a frickin' cube forever and will continue to be a frickin' cube forever as far as the human lifespan is concerned, and there's nothing you can do about it. I hate to break it to you, but you're stuck on this rock regardless of how it's shaped. You're gonna live here your whole life just like EVER SINGLE HUMAN BEFORE YOU. Why spend obscene resources and power to hide something that doesn't matter because we can't do anything about it. It's a sphere. Get over it. I'll entertain freakin' Bigfoot before I'll entertain this."

You know, I think there's one important question we should ask Flat Earthers whenever they bring up the conspiracy or ice walls and guards, etc. "What do they eat?" Because trying to figure out what they eat means you need to delve into the logistics of such an endeavour of getting food and supplies to those people.

Dunning-Krueger explained it. Those who believe it are the very ones least equipped to understand how they’re wrong.

I am not even a scientist. Just an IT engineer, that works with GPS, and uses haversine formula to calculate distances over the Earth. The formula that would give wrong results if used on a flat plane. Someone would have to pay millions of people like me, and pay a lot to keep the secret.

I was watching one of these videos, and then turned to my 10 year old nephew and 6 year old nephew and said, "Remember. The Earth is a sphere. It is not flat." They were so shocked when I told them, and the 6 year old even went to his mom to make sure I wasn't lying.

Wow! Absolute GOLD! Thanks Dave! That's therapy for me! (well cause i actually met a couple of flerfs which made the experience way more traumatizing than it should be XP)

i didn't even need someone to disprove this. i watch this because i enjoy the reasoning you use!

I like to imagine a version of earth where literally everyone of us who isn't publicly an outspoken flat-earther is in on the conspiracy and the vast majority of humanity has simply agreed to play this massive, elaborate, world-wide prank on a small group of people just so we can call them idiots. That would at least be funny as opposed to the reality we live in, where flat earthers are just pathetic.

"Any God who is so weak that he can be hidden by his own creations is clearly not worth whorshiping". This is the greatest quote ever

2:23 GEOMETRY DASH!??!??!?!

“This is very dumb, as any god who is so weak that it can be hidden by its own creations, is clearly not worth worshiping” idk why but this line made me burst out laughing (not in a disagreeing way I just mean it was funny to me)

Flat Earthers: Your photos are all fake! Also Flat Earthers: My photos don't exist, so you can't disprove them!

This is my fa favorite flat earth debunk. Although, I love all the science-based debunks and find them to be fun & educational, ultimately they aren’t required to debunk flat earth. All you need is 2 words: “common sense” Very nicely done professor Dave!

I was told by a flat earther that planes fly to the edge of the world and magically appear on the other side of the earth, you know, like pac man.

Conspiracy theorists: "Question everything, except me... buy my t-shirts instead."

“Honestly, given the magnitude of the conspiracy as it is peddled, and the titanic power ascribed to its progenitors, that fact that Flat Earth channels even exist at all is proof that the Earth isn’t flat.” That's actually hilarious, I never even thought about it that way. They themselves are proof that the Earth is not flat.

There has been video footage of Earth from space since the 1940s and they all show a sphere.

Bro secretly plays geometry dash 💀

I'm a civil engineering student. I probably have the most diverse education of any of the engineers, because we have to cover everything from structures to the environment to city planning. An important aspect is surveying, in which you measure land to figure out its geometry: how long does your water line need to run, and how much rainfall did the state of Texas get last year? That last point is important, because it's a study called GEODETIC surveying. In it, you must account for the fact that the earth is round, triangles don't all add up to 180⁰, etc. So every person who has ever measured area of land bigger than a house must be in on it too. And trust me, engineers are not being invited to the sex parties. They're not even being invited to regular parties.

"People who talk about volcanos are lieing" me in Iceland where a new volcano just made itself real "i guess i never existed after all"

The most unrealistic thing about flat earth is every government agreeing on something so stupid 😂

"What could they possibly do except IMMEDIATELY MURDER EVERY PERSON EVER WHO POSTS A FLAT EARTH VIDEO IN 10 SECONDS WITH A LASER BEAM?" LOL
