How many more flatearthers? - Lemmy.World

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 organized the expedition, not the influencer whose video I saw and admitted he was wrong. My mistake.
