David Weiss on Earth being flat

JermBy Jerm8 Jul 2022Updated:28 Jun 2023

David Weiss is a researcher and content creator who argues that Earth is flat.

I am not convinced that Earth is flat but I have no idea how to prove that Earth is a sphere spinning in space without outsourcing my thinking.

Either way, I think that it’s important not to be dogmatic.

Engaging with flat-Earth proponents can stimulate critical thinking skills by encouraging us to examine and analyse evidence, identify logical fallacies, and strengthen our ability to construct well-reasoned arguments. It prompts us to scrutinise our own beliefs, ensuring that they are grounded in evidence and sound reasoning rather than blind acceptance.

Considering alternative perspectives, even those lacking scientific validity, allows us to question the assumptions and biases that underpin our worldview. By challenging our preconceived notions about Earth’s shape, we are compelled to examine the evidence and arguments that support the round Earth model, reinforcing our understanding of scientific principles.

Interacting with individuals who hold alternative beliefs can cultivate intellectual humility and the recognition that our knowledge is limited and subject to revision.

Recognising that scientific knowledge evolves over time and that no paradigm is infallible, encourages an open-minded and receptive attitude towards new evidence or alternative explanations.

Exploring the flat-Earth theory provides an opportunity to recognise the prevalence and influence of confirmation bias, wherein individuals seek information that confirms their preexisting beliefs. By examining the motivations and thought processes behind flat-Earth beliefs, we gain insight into the psychological factors that shape our own beliefs and biases.

In other words, we are prompted to reflect on the nature of belief itself.

Why do we believe what we believe?
