Yuck yuck these people really think they're celebrities. Genius celebrities. It's called blissfull ignorance.

Eventually they say things revealing their emotional need to find validation for being rebellious.

This is exactly anti-vaxxers. Only flat earthers aren't killing people. We have to legislate covid vaccine. They're not coming around. Science isn't the point for them.

1. Yes! It's on Netflix!

2. sci man dan podcasts on amazon..

4. Sci Man Dan is excellent

Plus, he’s stuck to flat earthers while some of the other big FE YouTube channels like Schrodinger’s Cat have moved to First Amendment auditors.

15. Sci-Man Dan has branched out a little bit on You Tube.

He does Flat Earth Fridays and Tin Foil Tuesdays, where he goes after other types of nuttery.

I like him too. He has good collaborations with other You Tubers as well.

3. Reminds me of A Mighty Wind. Same delusions of grandeur.

They need to be special in order to have a reason to live.

5. I just tried watching it.

I didn't even make it to the 10-minute mark.
I was cringing the first 3 minutes. They insist something is true because they want it to be.
Our country should do more to promote good mental health.

6. They "aren't killing people"...yet.

Wait till one gets a pilot’s license.

7. Saw it some time ago

What's sad is that a lot of them (in the documentary) want to do real tests on the shape of Earth and have some decent ideas, but have a tendency not to believe their own results when they debunk flat Earth (especially at the end).

8. I'm not about to watch that shit!

Just feel your IQ drain away when you watch that Himalaya of Horseshit!

9. Got that right!

10. "Eventually they say things..."

The lady doing the interview in the car (Ms Steere) who spent a couple minutes describing herself to a tee, then finished with "Not me, though."

And then that last guy with the laser when he says "Hmm. That's interesting." That was just sad.

[lindysalsagal]

12. Yes: They eventually admit this is all psychological, that they're getting emotional

needs met, that this is "why" they always felt so "isolated." And mostly, they just serve each other's need for validation, and reinforcement of their rebel status. It's like "You And Me Against The World." and the issue isn't even important: It could be home-schooling, or anti-vaxxing or alien abduction or clairvoyance, or any arbitrary hot topic.

You could see in the video of the "conference" that every time someone got up on the podium, and started speaking, they were being rewarded with everyone else's attention. These are basic childhood needs that have gone unmet, and now, they're finally re-parenting each other. You could see it in the faces of the audience members, too. They were getting it all vicariously. There was no content in anything they shared that supported a flat earth scenario.

Whenever anyone tried to pin them down on who, how, or where of the world-wide global conspiracy ,they dodged the question completely, because they were just getting the attention they needed, so, "problem solved."

14. Honestly, it reminded me of an AA or NA meeting.

[lindysalsagal]

16. Yes, except that the alcoholism is real and this is all BS.

[Iggo]

17. One's an admitted support group, and then there's these fuckers.

[ShazzieB]

18. Yeah, and these fuckers are actively enabling each other's pathology...

Instead of trying to help each other heal.

11. The ending is great! Nt
