Iz He doing the SCIENCE?!?

I have recently discovered something akin to a unicorn- something I really didn’t think existed.

These videos not only put forth arguments beyond name calling, but actually demonstrates its position with experiments and models.

“Do you SEE this? THIS is proof.”

To understand why this is shocking, all one needs to do is search YouTube for Flat Earth videos, and if you find what I have found, you will see that the average video promoting this model can condense a solid four minutes of argumentation into a three hour video. The majority of these videos involve a lengthy attempt to demonstrate that the producer of the video failed middle school science. Much of the time is spent calling NASA a hoax or other complimentary names.

For contrast, let me describe a different channel also promoting the Flat Earth Model. Also staggeringly short for a Flat earth Video, this one consists of video shots of the moon as seen during the day and the narrator of the video saying things like, “Do you see this? This is proof! This right here is proof that the moon is flat and the ball earth is a hoax. Look at this. I don’t know HOW you can see this and not realize that the earth is FLAT.” He really goes on and on like that for five minutes while we, the viewer look at the moon in the daytime sky and ask ourselves, “Am I seeing what he is seeing?
