In this episode, we’re joined by Flat Earth Dave, who challenges us to question the world as we know it. We explore why more people are starting to question long-held beliefs and how global events have fueled this shift in perspective.
Our conversation ventures into the cosmos, exploring alternative ideas about astronomy. We rethink the nature of stars, delve into the mysteries of space travel, and examine how technology and media may shape—or distort—our understanding of the universe. Dave’s insights invite us to look beyond traditional narratives and explore new ways of understanding the skies above.
We also dig into unconventional topics like flight paths, historical narratives, and the societal pressures that challenge critical thinking. Dave explains how strange flight routes connect to flat Earth theories, shares thoughts on Antarctic phenomena, and reflects on how mainstream media influences our understanding of science and history. It’s an exploration of the unknown and a call to question what we’ve been taught.

Chapter 1
Questioning the Globe Earth Model
00:00
This chapter welcomes back Dave Weiss, known as Flat Earth Dave, to
discuss the growing skepticism around the globe Earth model and the
broader implications on the nature of reality. I admire Dave's
passion for questioning widely accepted truths and explore the
increasing public curiosity about flat Earth theories. We address
how recent global events have led to heightened skepticism about
collective wisdom, highlighting how people often exhibit
intelligence in smaller groups. Dave shares his journey since 2014,
noting a shift in how flat Earth ideas are perceived—from ridicule
to genuine curiosity. We also examine historical arguments
supporting the globe model, like Eratosthenes' sticks and shadows
experiment, and challenge their validity, arguing that the flat
Earth perspective continues to gain traction without people
reverting to traditional globe beliefs.
Chapter 2
Cosmic Skepticism and Star Speculation
12:58
This chapter explores the complexities and curiosities of our
universe, challenging conventional astronomical models. We discuss
the dynamic journey of Earth as it orbits and chases the sun
through space, raising questions about the behavior of stars and
the concept of parallax. I express skepticism about the mainstream
explanations for the formation and nature of stars, proposing an
alternative view of stars as perfect, angelic entities that do not
move. The discussion also touches on the vast distances between
stars, questioning the plausibility of human understanding and the
depiction of space travel. Through these reflections, we question
the boundaries of current scientific explanations and ponder the
mysteries of our cosmic surroundings.
Chapter 3
Stars, Sun, and Flat Earth Research
19:31
This chapter explores the skepticism surrounding astronomical
images and the scientific reasoning behind flat Earth theories. We
discuss how distinguishing between images from the James Webb Space
Telescope and those created using graphic design tools can
challenge perceptions of space. A critical analysis of distance and
visibility is presented through a thought experiment about the sun
and stars, questioning the possibility of seeing celestial bodies
at the vast distances claimed by mainstream science. We also
scrutinize the gravitational relationships between celestial
objects, like the sun, Earth, and moon, raising questions about the
feasibility of current astronomical models.
Chapter 4
Challenging Perspectives on Flat Earth
31:19
This chapter explores the concept of creating wealth by inventing
products that cater to people's desire for convenience, citing
examples like fast food and delivery services such as DoorDash. The
conversation then shifts to a discussion about societal divides,
contrasting the "15-minute city people" with those who prefer to
live independently, likening it to the scenario in "Logan's Run."
The focus turns to experiences at Anarchapulco, particularly
interactions with Larkin Rose, a notable figure who is resistant to
engaging in discussions about flat earth theories. Despite Rose's
reluctance, efforts to present counterarguments continue, including
addressing his points in a well-attended seminar. The chapter
emphasizes the importance of open dialogue and challenging
differing perspectives, highlighting the frustration when such
discussions are not reciprocated.
Chapter 5
Debunking Space Travel Myths
41:10
This chapter explores the intriguing topic of the sun's movement in
Antarctica, examining whether the phenomenon of a circling sun
could be evidence for or against the flat Earth theory. We discuss
the recent event where both flat earthers and globe believers
witnessed this occurrence, sparking debates on whether it was
genuine or fabricated. We question the traditional narrative of the
sun as a massive, stable, burning entity in space, and critique the
feasibility of space travel and the International Space Station's
operations. The discussion also touches on the broader societal
context, suggesting that modern stresses may hinder critical
thinking compared to past decades. Furthermore, I mention the Flat
Earth Sun, Moon, and Zodiac Clock app as a resource for discovering
hidden content that challenges mainstream scientific views,
emphasizing the need for open-mindedness and exploration of
alternative perspectives.
Chapter 6
Sun's Height and Flat Earth Seasons
45:13
This chapter takes a closer look at the Flat Earth perspective on
viewing distant mountains and the concept of seasons. We begin by
examining how the visibility of Mount Canigou challenges the
traditional globe model, discussing the role of sunlight and
atmospheric conditions in making the mountain visible from a great
distance. Transitioning to the Flat Earth model, we explore how the
sun's position and movement over the Tropic of Cancer and the
Tropic of Capricorn explain seasonal changes. Using the analogy of
a heat lamp, we illustrate how the perceived height and warmth of
the sun affect temperature variations on Earth. This chapter
contrasts the Flat Earth explanation with the globe model,
questioning the logic behind the globe's distance-based seasonal
changes and proposing an alternative view where the sun's local
proximity is a key factor.
Chapter 7
Flight Routes and Flat Earth Insights
57:39
This chapter explores the intriguing debate around flight paths and
their implications on the flat Earth theory, as presented by Dave
Weiss. We examine the unconventional routes taken by planes from
New Zealand to Argentina and how these routes appear on both globe
and flat Earth maps. Dave Weiss challenges traditional beliefs
about Earth's shape, citing gyroscopes in airplanes and their
orientation as evidence. We also discuss the criticism faced by
flat Earth proponents and the notion of questioning established
norms to discover hidden truths. Furthermore, we touch upon the
"Old World" theory, promoting exploration beyond taught history,
and the growing flat Earth community. The chapter concludes with an
invitation to the Anarchapulco conference, emphasizing freedom and
new perspectives on reality.
Chapter 8
Media Platforms and Moon Landing Doubt
01:04:36
This chapter explores potential opportunities for guest appearances
on popular platforms like Coast to Coast AM and a Florida-based
podcast hosted by Danny Jones. We discuss the challenges of getting
on Joe Rogan's podcast, considering his significant contract and
shifting stance on controversial topics like the moon landing.
Rogan's past skepticism about the moon landing is highlighted,
along with his evolving perspective after interviewing Neil
deGrasse Tyson. Additionally, Eddie Bravo's influence on Rogan is
considered, given Bravo's known skepticism about the moon landing
and belief in flat earth theories. The chapter concludes with
excitement about sharing this engaging conversation and continuing
to question prevailing narratives.
