Hopefully some of these flat earthers were CEOs? I mean to say “thoughts and prayers”.
But maybe we need a new cutsey saying “at least one CEO amongst them” or something.
This is actually an incredible story.
Dave McKeegan,a tremendous influencer in the flat earther world, was offered a free trip to Antarctica to see the sun circle the South Pole with his own eyes.He agreed to go, and brought his own cameras to video the sun. He witnessed it, recorded it, and accepted it. He then posted the video and publicly admitted that he was wrong, and that the Earth is indeed round.
I have a lot of respect for the way he handled what I imagine to be very profound, and very public, cognitive dissonance.
Edit: Dave McKeegan was the name of the debunker who offered the free transportation, not the influencer whose video I saw and admitted he was wrong. My mistake.
Dave McKeegan is/was not a flat earther. He’s a debunker, and was funded as the globe proponent for “The Final Experiment”. Jeran and Witsit, went for the flat earthers. There were others from both sides there with about 10 in total.
You’re right. I saw an influencer video where he did everything I wrote above. When I grabbed the YouTube link for my comment I saw Dave McKeegan’s name and made the incorrect assumption that it was the influencer’s video. My mistake.
Dave McKeegan isn’t a flat earther
That story below is tragic. 12 restaurant workers killed in their dorm by fumes from a generator that was used while the power was out.
I saw that as well. Was there ever an explanation for why they kept the generator inside? I really hope there was a good reason.
Human stupidity
I’d become a flat eather for a free trip to antarctica …
True. It ain’t cheap. I got all the gear for it and thought about doing that recently because it’s geographically much closer than the Eurasia Alps.
Nope.
That boat from Australia is VERY expensive. Without expedition sponsorship or a science grant, not happening.
