Watching flat earth debates inflicts psychic damage. It doesn't matter how many points get debunked, they just immediately pivot to the next. For years they've been saying that a 24 hour sun in Antarctica is impossible (and it is on a flat model) and would disprove flat earth, while also dismissing all video of the phenomenon as fake and saying all the governments of the world prevent travel beyond the "ice wall." Someone offered to pay for a flat earther and a globe earther to attend a yearly antarctic expedition to definitively prove the globe once and for all. The glober accepted. One flerfer declined, the second demanded his friend accompany him in place of the glober. Nothing is settled as far as I know. Flat earthers have also started claiming that a 24 hour sun in Antarctica would not disprove flat earth, in spite of years of saying the contrary.
It really is all a con and I'm glad this guy was open to the evidence.
