In this episode, we're joined by Flat Earth Dave, who challenges us to question the world as we know it. We explore why more people are starting to question long-held beliefs and how global events have fueled this shift in perspective. Our conversation ventures into the cosmos, exploring alternative ideas about astronomy. We rethink the nature of stars, delve into the mysteries of space travel, and examine how technology and media may shape—or distort—our understanding of the universe. Dave's insights invite us to look beyond traditional narratives and explore new ways of understanding the skies above. We also dig into unconventional topics like flight paths, historical narratives, and the societal pressures that challenge critical thinking. Dave explains how strange flight routes connect to flat Earth theories, shares thoughts on Antarctic phenomena, and reflects on how mainstream media influences our understanding of science and history. It's an exploration of the unknown and a call to question what we've been taught. VIDEO VERSION OF INTERVIEW: / ============================================================ (12:58) - Cosmic Skepticism and Star Speculation (19:31) - Stars, Sun, and Flat Earth Research (31:19) - Challenging Perspectives on Flat Earth (41:10) - Debunking Space Travel Myths (45:13) - Sun's Height and Flat Earth Seasons (57:39) - Flight Routes and Flat Earth Insights (01:04:36) - Media Platforms and Moon Landing Doubt ============================================================ Chapter 1 Questioning the Globe Earth Model 00:00 This chapter welcomes back Dave Weiss, known as Flat Earth Dave, to discuss the growing skepticism around the globe Earth model and the broader implications on the nature of reality. I admire Dave's passion for questioning widely accepted truths and explore the increasing public curiosity about flat Earth theories. We address how recent global events have led to heightened skepticism about collective wisdom, highlighting how people often exhibit intelligence in smaller groups. Dave shares his journey since 2014, noting a shift in how flat Earth ideas are perceived—from ridicule to genuine curiosity. We also examine historical arguments supporting the globe model, like Eratosthenes' sticks and shadows experiment, and challenge their validity, arguing that the flat Earth perspective continues to gain traction without people reverting to traditional globe beliefs. Chapter 2 Cosmic Skepticism and Star Speculation 12:58 This chapter explores the complexities and curiosities of our universe, challenging conventional astronomical models. We discuss the dynamic journey of Earth as it orbits and chases the sun through space, raising questions about the behavior of stars and the concept of parallax. I express skepticism about the mainstream explanations for the formation and nature of stars, proposing an alternative view of stars as perfect, angelic entities that do not move. The discussion also touches on the vast distances between stars, questioning the plausibility of human understanding and the depiction of space travel. Through these reflections, we question the boundaries of current scientific explanations and ponder the mysteries of our cosmic surroundings. Chapter 3 Stars, Sun, and Flat Earth Research 19:31 This chapter explores the skepticism surrounding astronomical images and the scientific reasoning behind flat Earth theories. We discuss how distinguishing between images from the James Webb Space Telescope and those created using graphic design tools can challenge perceptions of space. A critical analysis of distance and visibility is presented through a thought experiment about the sun and stars, questioning the possibility of seeing celestial bodies at the vast distances claimed by mainstream science. We also scrutinize the gravitational relationships between celestial objects, like the sun, Earth, and moon, raising questions about the feasibility of current astronomical models. Chapter 4 Challenging Perspectives on Flat Earth 31:19 This chapter explores the concept of creating wealth by inventing products that cater to people's desire for convenience, citing examples like fast food and delivery services such as DoorDash. The conversation then shifts to a discussion about societal divides, contrasting the "15-minute city people" with those who prefer to live independently, likening it to the scenario in "Logan's Run." The focus turns to experiences at Anarchapulco, particularly interactions with Larkin Rose, a notable figure who is resistant to engaging in discussions about flat earth theories. Despite Rose's reluctance, efforts to present counterarguments continue, including addressing his points in a well-attended seminar. The chapter emphasizes the importance of open dialogue and challenging differing perspectives, highlighting the frustration when such discussions are not reciprocated. Chapter 5 Debunking Space Travel Myths 41:10 This chapter explores the intriguing topic of the sun's movement in Antarctica, examining whether the phenomenon of a circling sun could be evidence for or against the flat Earth theory. We discuss the recent event where both flat earthers and globe believers witnessed this occurrence, sparking debates on whether it was genuine or fabricated. We question the traditional narrative of the sun as a massive, stable, burning entity in space, and critique the feasibility of space travel and the International Space Station's operations. The discussion also touches on the broader societal context, suggesting that modern stresses may hinder critical thinking compared to past decades. Furthermore, I mention the Flat Earth Sun, Moon, and Zodiac Clock app as a resource for discovering hidden content that challenges mainstream scientific views, emphasizing the need for open-mindedness and exploration of alternative perspectives. Chapter 6 Sun's Height and Flat Earth Seasons 45:13 This chapter takes a closer look at the Flat Earth perspective on viewing distant mountains and the concept of seasons. We begin by examining how the visibility of Mount Canigou challenges the traditional globe model, discussing the role of sunlight and atmospheric conditions in making the mountain visible from a great distance. Transitioning to the Flat Earth model, we explore how the sun's position and movement over the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn explain seasonal changes. Using the analogy of a heat lamp, we illustrate how the perceived height and warmth of the sun affect temperature variations on Earth. This chapter contrasts the Flat Earth explanation with the globe model, questioning the logic behind the globe's distance-based seasonal changes and proposing an alternative view where the sun's local proximity is a key factor. Chapter 7 Flight Routes and Flat Earth Insights 57:39 This chapter explores the intriguing debate around flight paths and their implications on the flat Earth theory, as presented by Dave Weiss. We examine the unconventional routes taken by planes from New Zealand to Argentina and how these routes appear on both globe and flat Earth maps. Dave Weiss challenges traditional beliefs about Earth's shape, citing gyroscopes in airplanes and their orientation as evidence. We also discuss the criticism faced by flat Earth proponents and the notion of questioning established norms to discover hidden truths. Furthermore, we touch upon the "Old World" theory, promoting exploration beyond taught history, and the growing flat Earth community. The chapter concludes with an invitation to the Anarchapulco conference, emphasizing freedom and new perspectives on reality. Chapter 8 Media Platforms and Moon Landing Doubt 01:04:36 This chapter explores potential opportunities for guest appearances on popular platforms like Coast to Coast AM and a Florida-based podcast hosted by Danny Jones. We discuss the challenges of getting on Joe Rogan's podcast, considering his significant contract and shifting stance on controversial topics like the moon landing. Rogan's past skepticism about the moon landing is highlighted, along with his evolving perspective after interviewing Neil deGrasse Tyson. Additionally, Eddie Bravo's influence on Rogan is considered, given Bravo's known skepticism about the moon landing and belief in flat earth theories. The chapter concludes with excitement about sharing this engaging conversation and continuing to question prevailing narratives.

“Cognitive Three cognitive mechanisms for explaining the hostile media effect have been suggested:[15] Selective recall refers to memory and retrieval. In instances of the hostile media effect, partisans should tend to remember more of the disconfirming portions of a message than the parts that support their position, in a variation of the negativity effect. Vallone and his colleagues observed selective recall differing along partisan lines even on simple, objective criteria such as the number of references to a given subject.[2] However, numerous studies have documented the hostile media effect even when selective recall is positive rather than negative.[9][11][15] Selective perception refers to the process by which individuals perceive what they want to in media messages while ignoring opposing viewpoints. In instances of the hostile media effect, partisans have a heightened tendency to interpret aspects of a message as unfavorable – or hostile – as opposed to categorizations by non-partisans. In other words, selective perception is a form of bias because we interpret information in a way that is congruent with our existing values and beliefs.[2][9][15] The different standards explanation or motivated reasoning refers to the validity of arguments. This is confirmation bias taken to the next level. It leads people to confirm what they already believe, while ignoring contrary data. But it also drives people to develop elaborate rationalizations to justify holding beliefs that logic and evidence have shown to be wrong. Motivated reasoning responds defensively to contrary evidence, actively discrediting such evidence or its source without logical or evidentiary justification. It seems to be assumed by social scientists that motivated reasoning is driven by a desire to avoid cognitive dissonance. It suggests that reason partisans are so prone to see an unbiased message in a hostile light is because of the strength of the favorable argument they have built in their minds over time. Rather than seeing confirmation bias as an opposite force of hostile media effect, the different standards explanation sees it as a contributing force. As Vallone et al. noted in the seminal study: Partisans who have consistently processed facts and arguments in light of their preconceptions and prejudices [...] are bound to believe that the preponderance of reliable, pertinent evidence favors their viewpoint. Accordingly, to the extent that the small sample of evidence and argument featured in a media presentation seems unrepresentative of this larger "population" of information, perceivers will charge bias in the presentation and will be likely to infer hostility and bias on the part of those responsible for it.[16] It is important to note that these criteria allow for specific measures beyond subjective generalizations about the media coverage as a whole, such as what might be expressed as "I thought that the news has been generally biased against this side of the issue." The research suggests the hostile media effect is not just a difference of opinion but a difference of perception (selective perception).” -https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostile_media_effect. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support
Can states prohibit social media companies from censoring the speech of their platforms' users? That's a question now before the Supreme Court. The justices heard oral arguments Monday in a pair of major First Amendment cases. The cases stem from laws passed in Texas and Florida in 2021 after a number of social media companies' deplatforming of then-President Donald Trump following the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.Following social media companies' banning of Trump and a number of other conservative voices, both Texas and Florida passed laws preventing social media platforms, such as YouTube and Facebook, from censoring users' constitutionally protected speech. But two trade associations challenged those laws on behalf of the social media companies. The trade groups argue that social media companies' decisions about what speech they censor is an editorial choice protected by the First Amendment. Are social media platforms required to carry everyone's views? Or like newspapers, do these Big Tech companies have a First Amendment right to choose what speech is and is not allowed on their platforms? The justices are expected to issue their decision on the case in June. Texas state Sen. Bryan Hughes, who sponsored the Texas law; Adam Candeub, a Michigan State University law professor; and Jack Fitzhenry, a legal fellow with The Heritage Foundation (of which the Daily Signal is the news outlet), join “The Daily Signal Podcast” to offer their analyses on the arguments before the high court on Monday and what the justices' ruling could mean for Americans.

(STRATEGY WITH MEG) Picking The Right Social Media Platforms For Your Niche A big reminder: your business is NOT one social media platform. AKA, your business is NOT Instagram. Your business is NOT TikTok. Your business is NOT LinkedIn. Those are platforms you use to MARKET your business, but that's it. So it's SUPER important to not only have more than one to rely on for marketing purposes (since putting all your eggs into one basket is dangerous no matter what we're talking about), but to also reach more people. In this episode I'm helping you figure out which you should dive into FIRST to really optimize before adding on a second. The three questions I'll dive into (before I go into specifics about each platform) are… Where do your ideal clients hang out the most? Where are your ideal clients searching for help when it comes to the topic of your offer? Where do YOU like to hang out?/Where can you produce the most consistent content? If you're ready for hands-on guidance with producing consistent content that actually brings in clients AND how to disperse it on the different platforms, check out Unique Content Camp below!

Revolutionizing the Subscription Economy: Isaac Hayes III Reveals the Potential of FanbaseIn this episode of MM Medium with Isaac Hayes III, the EYL team dives into the disruptive nature of companies like Fanbase and the potential for future acquisition or IPO. Isaac Hayes III, the founder of Fanbase, discusses the exit strategy from day one, which includes either being acquired or going public. He draws parallels to Elon Musk's approach with Twitter, and emphasizes the importance of providing investors with a great return.Isaac Hayes III explains the concept of acquisition and IPO, highlighting the opportunity for investors to cash in when a company is bought at a higher valuation. He uses the example of a $5,000 investment in Uber turning into $24 million upon the company's public offering. He emphasizes that Fanbase aims to create generational wealth for African American people and believes in the potential for exponential returns.Addressing the skepticism around these possibilities, Isaac Hayes III challenges the notion that a $250 investment in Fanbase couldn't turn into a million dollars. He references TikTok's private valuation of $350 billion and explains that a 100-billion-dollar valuation for Fanbase would result in a 5,000x return for investors. He exudes confidence in the platform's potential and the promising future of the subscription market.Isaac Hayes III discusses the massive addressable market for subscription-based platforms, stating that every person with a smartphone is a potential subscriber. He mentions that even Netflix, with its market cap of $800 billion, has only reached 240 million subscribers out of the 6 billion smartphone users worldwide. He emphasizes that Fanbase is built for the future, allowing multiple subscriptions and offering content creators control over their revenue and the lion's share of the earnings.The conversation also touches on the challenges faced by black content creators on platforms like TikTok, where algorithms and biases can limit their reach. Isaac Hayes III highlights how Fanbase eliminates these issues by removing advertising as a barrier and allowing creators of all backgrounds to flourish on the platform.

It scores the five biggest platforms — Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Twitter — on how well they’re doing protecting LGBTQ+ users from harassment and abuse. All five platforms received failing grades. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube did improve their scores slightly over last year but Twitter's score sank, hitting a new low of 33%, according to Jenni Olson, GLAAD's Program Director for Social Media Safety.

Social media companies might have to make significant changes to their platforms, depending on the outcomes of two Supreme Court cases.This week, the justices hear arguments in two cases that involve a federal law referred to as Section 230, which protects social media platforms from being held liable for the content users post.The high court heard arguments in Gonzalez v. Google LLC on Tuesday and will hear Twitter Inc. v. Taamneh on Wednesday. The rulings in these cases, expected sometime this summer, could affect how social media platforms operate.Under Section 230, platforms such as Facebook and Twitter are shielded from standards that, for example, newspapers are held to. While a news outlet can be sued for knowingly publishing false information, the same strict standards don't apply to social media sites, due to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996.But some argue that tech platforms should be held accountable for false or dangerous information shared on the platforms. The two cases being brought before the Supreme Court this week "should be a very interesting debate, and it may not be one that divides cleanly along ideological lines, like we typically think of them, between the conservative and more liberal justices," says Zack Smith, manager of the Supreme Court and Appellate Advocacy Program in The Heritage Foundation's Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)Smith, who is also co-host of the "SCOTUS 101" podcast, joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss how social media platforms could be affected by the cases being argued at the Supreme Court this week.
