Level with Me

If this had been presented as a satire, it would work. Sadly, they think this rubbish is true. I've never seen such a twisted, border-line insane take on science.

How this currently as a four star rating is a mind-numbing mystery. It's proof of how many uneducated, naive and gullible people there are who will believe patently false nonsense.

Every true scientist should be posting reviews, although this is so ridiculous as to not even require debunking. Why someone would chose to believe something that can be proved incorrect through a variety of real-world observations without scientific instruments is shocking.

Remember, these "brilliant" flat earthers want you to believe the Challenger astronauts who died just got moved but didn't change their names. Seriously?

Utter garbage from con artists. Not even anything different from before. They just regurgitate the same nonsense from video to video and expect their tinfoil hat followers to stand in awe of their brilliance.

Go watch SciManDan's recap of these on YouTube for a better understanding of how terrible it really is.

Get back to us when you flat earthers find a working map of Flatopia... one with a scale so it's useful. Until then we all know the saying... Gotta lie to flerf.

"Because their fantasy is instantly debunked with a single photograph from space (see Blue Marble, 1972, for the classic example), flerfs are compelled to deny everything space related."

2 @vaulthunter-11946 You do actually know that The Blue Marble is not a photo from space, don't you? There has never been a photo of the whole of earth taken from outer space. The original image taken by Apollo 17 was the most accurate, hi-resolution photo of the Earth ever, but the NASA Blue Marble pic isn't a real photograph. It's a composite of numerous images layered on top of each other.

Created by Robert Simmon, the Photoshop whiz used a 43,200-pixel by 21,600-pixel map of the Earth stitched together by Reto Stöckli. Stöckli used about ten thousand 300-megabyte satellite scenes captured by the Terra satellite over a period of 100 days. But his image was just clean land and sea, having removed all the clouds.

And why are you so rude and angry at people who just want answers to questions about a spherical earth?

While this one is an improvement for not having a droning narrator spout baseless assertions for an hour, it's only a slight improvement in that it has a variety of speakers choppily cut together spouting baseless assertions and accusations for an hour. It closes with another appeal to conspiracy and some weak fear-mongering.

As a factual "documentary" it fails on every front, and is more reminescent of 1980's public-access infomercials from various cults (look up the Heaven's Gate VHS tapes for an example).

You could argue that this entire series is a successful record of the wide-ranging baseless conspiracy theories of the early-21st century's flat earth cult. It is fascinating how these ideas find something to resonate with in the vast echo-chambers of social media and the way the resulting mishmash of vague untested ideas, factually incorrect memes, and conspiracy theories tie together for the "true believers" (who are, ironically, urging other people to questions the liars). In that sense, this film and the others in the series might be worthwhile for current and future social scientists who are researching the way online cults form.

For everyone else, this is a bad-faith attempt at a "documentary" that's nearly unwatchable. Believe the bad reviews, save your time, and watch anything else.

Whether you believe in flat earth or not shouldn't be a reason to be "cancelled". The truth does not fear questioning, the truth is truth whether you believe it or not, truth needs no defense, truth doesn't feel threatened. Only lies fear being questioned. We all know in real life interpersonal interactions that when in a conversation if anyone personally attacks someone or makes fun of them or scoffs in any amount that is a giveaway that something is not kosher, and someone is afraid of something. Confident or truthful people don't stoop to such low heights. Any great scientist, philosopher, great thinker, or wise person knows that listening is better than talking and an open mind is smarter than a closed mind.
