Mick West | TFTRH #7 - Flat Earth Exit the Matrix Expo @MickWest | Uploaded June 2019 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
In this episode, I report back from my trip to the "Exit the Matrix" Flat Earth Expo in Las Vegas, where I gave a talk, had a debate, and talked to a lot of Flat Earth believers.
It was an experience that was unusual, revealing, and entertaining. The flat Earth folk were, on the whole, very nice and fun to talk to. I came away with the sense that their lack of understanding was very genuine, that they were in many case not trolling. I also found that communication was possible. Of course, they are very resistant, and individuals vary, but people were not automatically rejecting what I said. I didn’t convert anyone that I know of, but I think I at least made them think about a few things. I will follow up with the people I met, and hope to have some on future podcasts.
Note: at 3:30 I mention that "IPS" uses the name "Tim Osman" the same as the person I interviewed last week. This is not the same person, just the same name (ironic use of the name of a CIA agent who supposedly pretended to be Osama bin Laden).
