Escape The MadnessFlerfers like to repeat a lot of old outdated nonsense. The horizon rising to eye level is one of those nonsense claims - and of course this fairy tale phenomenon is blamed on the ever mystical perspective that flerfs love but don't comprehend.

Perspective Kills Flat Earth!Escape The Madness2020-02-03 | Flerfers like to repeat a lot of old outdated nonsense. The horizon rising to eye level is one of those nonsense claims - and of course this fairy tale phenomenon is blamed on the ever mystical perspective that flerfs love but don't comprehend.
So I decided to see what happens when you use FE dogma against FE dogma. HINT: A spoiler alert would be as redundant as a jimmy hat in Mark Sargent's wallet. Enjoy!Cult of Personality | Presentation & Discussion (Mirror)Escape The Madness2022-03-31 | I had the chance to present material I wrote some time ago discussing whether Flat Earth was a cult or not, based on some core criteria, over on Jose JG Gonzales' "Daily Boom" panel show. This video is a mirror of that presentation and the discussion we had, which included input from former flat earthers Jose, Sean G and Babs.
If you wish to weigh in on the subject please leave a comment below.Larry Scott Measures the EarthEscape The Madness2020-08-18 | This is a clip from one of Jose's after shows, where Larry Scott, an accomplished geodetic surveyor, presents some real world measurements confirming the sphericity of earth, using a simplified yet powerful method to appease those who protest about math heavy techniques.

With some additional context from the conversation that brought it to my attention. Clips taken from Jose JG's daily panel show.
NOTE - If you are not geometrically incompetent to a level that would embarrass a blind toddler, this demonstration will not be of great educational value.
The demonstration covers one aspect of Mitchell's video. The rest has already been covered by WheresWally, so no point doubling up on it here. Link for Wally's video here: youtu.be/NUgysPGFu-I

You guys smell barbecue chicken?East 2 West - Two Observations, One ResultEscape The Madness2020-05-29 | Looking at two obstruction observations, both of which involved changes in elevation filmed as a continuous shot, both showing the same result.
The first is a quick recap of the Aberdour observation from March this year (East), the second is an older observation taken over Loch Lomond in June last year (West).
To save time this video does not include the continuous shots, just some images, but they will be uploaded separately as unlisted videos with audio removed and speed slightly increased. See below for links to both.
I am unlisting the previous live stream discussing the Aberdour observation. Although it was messy it contains the full information for the observation. So the links are here if anyone ever needs to check on the details:
Do we really need to exercise social distancing and self isolation?
Is there an ulterior motive behind these drastic measures?

#SnugglepocalypseSimple Looming Demo Pt 2Escape The Madness2020-02-29 | This a follow up to my previous video where I demonstrated a simple way to produce the looming effect using refraction with a bowl of water. I had some feedback suggesting I alter the way I performed the demo by starting with a dry bowl and then filling it. In this video I have made that change and also repeated the demo with a couple of other objects. However to save time I have had to edit each of these videos together and I wanted to elaborate on the purpose behind what was being shown using each clip. Just showing all the clips from start to end would have been too long and pretty boring.
As mentioned in the video I did try to record an alternate view with the P900 but most of the footage was useless so only a couple of short pieces make it into this video.
Sorry Walter, no diagrams in this one either!Simple Looming DemoEscape The Madness2020-02-27 | Just a quick, easy demonstration anyone can do to prove to themselves that refraction can and does redirect light in such a fashion that it allows us to see further around objects than their geometry would normally allow.

And of course the always amazing Walter Bislin: http://walter.bislins.ch/bloge/index.aspA Challenge for Nathan OakleyEscape The Madness2020-01-03 | Nathan has been preaching his strict definition of the scientific method for a long time now, yet continues to cower away from applying it himself, despite having been asked to do so many times.
I'm officially challenging Nathan to apply the scientific method to the earth shape "debate" and actually prove to everyone that he knows how to do something more than merely parrot words.
Time is up Nathan. I will give you a maximum of two weeks to see and respond to this video with a working hypothesis as requested. After that, we will have all the proof we need that you are just a loudmouth fraud. Unless, you actually think you are up to the challenge...
Be sure and share this video with anyone who regurgitates Oakley's script.

He has been unconditionally praised and the video mirrored by other flat earth channels, as they actually think he somehow bettered Dr Berdyugina. In actuality he did nothing but rhyme off a bunch of stale memes and reveal he is dishonest, immature, knows nothing about science, and has unwarranted confidence in his abilities.

Whether you are interested from the FE POV or just want some stunning imagery to enjoy it is worth your time. It took an unbelievable 10 years for Anthony to gather together all the amazing footage that went into this documentary, an amazing personal feat for this independent film maker. Although a couple of years old now I am sure that like me, many of you will not have heard about it or seen it. Check it out and enjoy...and share the word about Anthony's beautiful photography!
Anthony on Twitter: twitter.com/AntzkiwiMessrs Ignorance & Incredulity ft Se Montreal and Cynical SkepticEscape The Madness2019-11-09 | In this clip from Jose's Se Montreal tries to push an age old argument from ignorance that has been in FE for some time concerning the selenelion eclipse. Then Cynical Skeptic brings up his "incontrovertible proof" that the earth is stationary, actually just another old idea being rehashed.
What they both have in common is that neither of them have a clue about their chosen topic. Montreal ducks and dives better than Ali trying to avoid explaining eclipses, while Cynical struggles to understand the parameters of his own argument to the point where communication completely breaks down in a farcical manner.
So, I share this as an example of the type of half cocked thinking and general ignorance of those who oppose the heliocentric model.ToM vs FEDEscape The Madness2019-11-08 | On November 11th 2019 a rare transit of Mercury will occur, giving astronomers a chance to calculate the distance to the sun for themselves using the same method originally performed with Venus. Flerfers continually moan about this distance measurement. Now they have a chance to actually perform it for themselves. While they huddle in their echo chambers with nothing to offer the world but derision and ignorance, some students and other lay folk will be taking this excellent opportunity in a project known as Citizen ToM. Proving yet again that flat earth is a pile of nonsense continually debunked by the heliocentric model and those who understand it and are willing to actually put some effort into examining the world and the universe around them.

All of my guests have agreed to join me without prior knowledge of which question(s) I will put to them, which I hope will lead to some good honest discourse based on each participant's knowledge and perhaps some worthwhile conclusions.
Tommy Grønvold will be taking note of questions from chat, which we will hopefully have enough time to address.

I've cut the video as much as I could while keeping the overall narrative intact. It follows primarily the discussion /argument over burden of proof and Red Pill's ideas on perspective and why things disappear bottom up.
It starts off with some fairly unproductive shouting and arguing, please bear with it to see how things turn out in the end.
I've kept in a section where Red Pill queries the operation of 3D software as I think it is worth being aware of in case it crops up in future.

AlBecause Its There - Refraction ExamplesEscape The Madness2019-03-09 | This video is essentially a debunk of several flat earth observational claims (and complaints) using some examples of "extreme" refraction. These examples show that refraction is capable of much more than flerfers believe.
Example debunks:
Taboo Conspiracy - Mirror/Flashlight D Marble - Laser Test Flat Earth Reality Explorers - Monterey Bay Mirror Test The Divine Plane - Tirajana Ferry Sleeping Warrior/Nathan Oakley - Maughold Lighthouse Toronto Skyline Chicago Skyline etc...
I'm using footage I shot myself with the P900 and uploaded some time ago in a compilation video but I have also included a clip from Mathias Kp with permission. Links below.
This short video demonstrates two points often misunderstood or ignored by flerfers:
1) Distance from the surface and/or field of view determine how flat or curved the horizon will appear on a sphere.
2) Imperfection of a spherical shape is only visible dependent upon the distance from the sphere, especially when the differences are relatively small. In this case the mirrored tiles represent a much greater deviation than the equatorial bulge of the earth.

This video is a response to that, referencing a selection of videos containing information which deals with the objections.
Thank you very much to everyone for letting me use their videos.
Unfortunately I missed Nick's name out of the final title as I was thinking so much about the observational evidence. Apologies Nick if you see this!

He insists he has proven his case and is thoroughly convinced he has effectively ironed out the causeway curvature which he believes was solely down to barrel distortion.
He is of course completely wrong and has been told his images still show curvature. This has sent him into an apoplectic fit of narcissistic rage at the thought of any mere mortal questioning his breathtaking photoshop skills. In this video we take a look at Gleem's image to help push his ego back into the pit of despair.
In the noise of the hangout a proper image comparison was never made so I wanted to point out what got missed and show that Ally is, unsurprisingly, very wrong.
