I’m pretty sure that’s one of the guy in the Netflix documentary about flat earther. Over the course of the documentary he design with one of his friend an experiment … and the documentary end with him looking at the results and questioning his beliefs
It’s a shit documentary but there’s some insight (not because the director is brilliant, because he don’t know what he’s recording) into the conspiracionists psych
Anyway that meme is old, pre covid
If you're talking about Behind the Curve, that was a brilliant documentary.
Agree to disagree. The only thing it does was to preach to the already convinced.
You cannot reason anyone out of a position they did not reason themselves into.
I think it was not meant to convince anybody out of being flat-earther. It makes a fool out of them, but also it shows that there are humans behind the movement and their motivation (they went down the wrong path and got indoctrinated by the wrong people, and are now isolated by everybody else). I started the documentary thinking thar they are all stupid, and ended it feeling a bit sad about them and understanding a bit why would anybody continue to be part of a group spreating such an obvious lie. They really need some friends outside that group, support and some good education... the flat earthers and many conspiracy theory groups would have already died out, if society did not treat these people as a lost cause. It also explains indirectly why even some very intelligent people do fall for other conspiracy theories (like qanon).
I think it has changed how I would talk to a conspiracy theorist in real life, and I think it's great that it managed to do that.
I was hoping to enjoy it but those fuckers were so fucking sad. No lives or friends. No measurable accomplishments.
Spent fucking several grand on a silly Lazer experiment.
I never saw this STST guy in Behind the Curve. I saw Mark Sargent, but not this STST guy. https://www.youtube.com/@STST
I could be mistaken
