WHAT IS TALK HEATHEN?
Talk Heathen is a weekly call-in television show in Austin, Texas geared toward long-form and on-going dialogue with theists & atheists about religion, theism, & secularism. Talk Heathen is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin.
Talk Heathen is filmed in front of a live studio audience every week at the Freethought Library of the Atheist Community of Austin.
The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop & support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing & friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of government-religion separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists & to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.

Flat earthers only have one argument: "I don't understand, therefore you're wrong"
It's the weakest argument from ignorance. The arrogance is breathtaking.
Nuh uh.
They also have:
"I can't prove it, but I'm right and everyone should accept it because I say so,"
"Even though flat-Earther's can't agree on what the flat Earth looks like or how it works, the globe model should be thrown out for flat Earth,"
"A lot of flat-Earthers agree with me, so I'm right",
and the ever popular "It looks flat to me, so it is."
@@ToEuropa Not worth wasting anymore of my time on these idiots.
100%
Just the fact that there are flat earth believers, it just breaks my brain how really stupid you have to be in order to believe in this stuff.
Even (educated) people in the 3rd century BC age calculated that the earth was round.
The BC age!
“I’m too dumb to understand it - therefore it does not exist.”
The best part is he can do the math, and find the data, he just refuses to accept it because it questions his idiotic conclusion.
Just wanted to comment exactly this! Well that proves I'm a prophet lol
Basically anyone who calls in, "I don't get it, but I'm right anyways"
🤣 you should put this on a t-shirt, you deserve to collect on something this spot on 🙌🏽
I'll take a medium and a large, please!
I could feel my IQ points slowly slipping away whenever Victor constantly interrupted the hosts in order to rush through his stupid script.
😂😂😂 I so know what you mean!
Does this help?

With an ego so big it has its own gravitational force, pulling people in and making them dumber..
That's how they work. Talking over people and interrupting them. Not letting anyone else speak. Any 'debate' I've ever seen with one of these people, it's ALWAYS the same. They don't want to hear anything contrary to what they are saying. It's like a five year old covering their ears and screaming "na na, I can't hear you!"
Oops! The moon is moving away from us, not towards us, at a rate of 3.78cm a year.🙄
Correct I thought I was the only one who noticed this.
Astrophysicist here. I'm no expert on the orbit of the Moon, but if you want a good example of orbital decay, neutron stars and black holes are where it's at. General Relativity states that objects in orbit do lose energy in the form of gravitational waves, just really, really slowly - much slower than the energy loss due to friction of the marble on the rubber sheet. We've measured this orbital decay hundreds of times now, way back as early as the 1970's and 80's when it was detected in the Hulse Taylor pulsar, and now on an almost daily basis as LIGO/VIRGO/KAGRA measure colliding binary black holes.
@@RayLiehm Earth's artificial satellites (some of them, at least) also tend to undergo orbital decay, as they are close enough to be slowed down by our atmosphere.
Yeah, exactly. She also mentioned the special relativity while talking about gravity. I guess she was nervous
@@RayLiehm Relativistic orbital decay is negligible compared to the energy exchange between Earth and the Moon giving us tides and such.
"Satelites and ISS don't exist."
"You can see them in a telescope."
"That is science-fiction."
"You can see it with the naked eye."
"Riddiculus."
Impressive blinders he had on.
What a Class A Maroon
Victor has no idea. Because he can't understand it he calls "ridiculous".
Victor is the ridiculous one.
He’s just stupid. What can you do.
'Google it'
Lol you have seen the iss with just your eye?
Whats worse than a stupid person?
A confident stupid person.
- Dunning & Kruger
Ok glerf
Yeah now which one/s are we talking about here again?
@@SunnyandTruffles
If you can't figure out which... you might be one of them.
@@nolobede you seem confident in that answer .
@@SunnyandTruffles
Perfectly confident.
1 of the 2 attributes is better than both.
Every single claim: "There's just no way it's absurd I can't possibly imagine it that way so it's obvious stop being so ridiculous."
exactly, if it's difficult to understand, instead of grinding until you understand, you can just say 'nuh uh!!' and the problem is solved
Like honestly I would respect flat earthers a lot more if they actually attempted to show mathematically why e.g. we should all be flying off the spinning ball, or how exactly the sun can appear to set due only to receding distance. All we ever get is "no way that works" bullshit which can be dismissed without thought, any further engagement is purely spectacle.
@@wtfboom4585 he actually said the Sun is above us because when he goes outside he can see the Sun hanging above him. That's all the science you'll get from him I'm afraid
the sad part? he's within just a few miles of multiple engineering specific universities that could explain, in great detail, why he's just f*cking wrong.
You believe that the moon landing was real?
Ah the gods of ignorance and stupidity shows their hand again
It's the arrogance in their ignorance that gets me.
Yup, really makes you wonder if humanity has a future or if that future is going to be more like "Idiocracy" than anything else.
@@lcars2006 theoretically? Worse.
In Idiocracy, they had tests in the prison system for reform and a President with an ego that let him step aside because he really did care about the people. And when the dumb people saw water grew crops? They immediately changed how they grew crops.
And I can still only get a coffee at Starbucks.
So... worse.
"My incredulity is sufficient evidence!" Oh you silly silly man
Of course he would say that for himself. 🙄
"I love being wrong, believe me." Explains him so well
It's always good to do what you're good at, and he's spectacularly good at being wrong.
He must be ecstatic!
If water wouldn't conform to shapes, then why do I have to dry myself after taking a shower?

@@RealHooksyI don't like the sound of that 😂
Now I have a image in my head I'd rather not have there! 😂
This is like trying to teach a cat about computer science. Also, the Moon is moving away from Earth, not towards it.
True but an easy mistake to make in the moment. Thank you for confirming my understanding!
@@michaelmiles8146 Agreed. When you have a chimp slinging so much poo at you like that it's easy to get something upside down.
Cats lay on a keyboard and recognize they don't need computer science, then it's napt ime.
Stop comparing Victor to cats. It's an insult to cats, and they are awesome animalsm.
@@nelsoncherrier3855 The comment police have spoken.
I know how great cats are, have one myself. But they can't learn CS.
Watching idiots is my new favorite pass time. I don't have the patience to suffer these fools. Great show, guys ✊🏼
*Pastime
It almost hurts listening to the stupidity and embarrassing I'm the same species as idiots like this guy 🙄
i know
anytime i listen to these fools say we live on a sphere floating thru fake space, they are so fucking stupid!!!
they have been programmed for so long they cannot think for themselves
It was truly spectacular to have THE Dunning Kruger I've heard so much about call in, what a guy!
I've only heard about him in passing, but I'm confident that he knows what he's talking about!
Lol
Victor's ignorance is only superseded by his arrogance.. Sad to see.
Would be a joy at a party
Arrognorance.
Dunning-Krueger in full effect
You gotta have 'nads to sit and confidently tell an aerospace engineer about the flat earth.
Ah yes the "Nuh uh" defense.
Look dude. Earth isn't flat just because you say so. Cavendish is so repeatable and well tested that it's ridiculous.
You don't get to call it fake when you don't understand it.
he uses his common sense because it's a lot less hard than using math and science
"The fuck you mean 'nuh uh'?"
@@JerryMetal Edit:uncommon nonsense.
@@torejssing7515 the Sun isn't bigger than the Earth, just look at it! It's small!
@@JerryMetal In fact it's no bigger than the Moon and the Moon is smaller than the water tower it goes behind sometimes.
I can't stand the argument from ignorance, "it doesn't make sense to me as a non-expert therefore it isn't true and the experts are all lying." Then when they talk to an expert they just argue their ignorance ad nauseum.
Its better than appealing to authority. Just because lots of people claim to know something, doesn't mean its true. If you can't demonstrate it, then you don't know it. If you don't know it, then say that. Too many people say something is, just because they were told that by a teacher, parent, preacher, or even friends, but never learn the fundamental concepts behind the ideas. Just because you think its true, doesn't mean it is. Just because its a theory doesn't mean it is not true.
@@criticalthinker420 It's not better, just appealing to authority and an argument from personal incredulity are both just "I don't know but im going to give this answer". At least with an argument from expert consensus you are going with people who are in the field and study the topic, at least in most cases there's peer reviewed data.
@@Aphnesa I get what your saying, but 99% of the "experts" in the field only read books and agree with the premises presented, they don't question or even attempt to perform the test required to actually verify the truth, they just take it as it is said and never question its validness. If it says so in the book, then it must be true. This is what Christians do with the bible, and students do with the text books. There are very few who actually verify for themselves anything at all. Everything that anyone knows should be able to be demonstrated either through experiments or logic reasoning. If you can't demonstrate through logic, then public experiments with documents details should be provided. Those details are not meant to be taken at face value for being true, but instead are so someone else can replicate the exact experiment. Too many "scientist" have faked data just to get ahead in their project, they even had a big investigation a few years back about colleges getting caught faking data in experiments. As a true skeptic, all sides and all things should be taken as true ONLY when the observer has satisfied their doubts AND can demonstrate why their doubts are gone and why others should also agree. If the only answer you have is because someone else smarter than you said so, then you shouldn't even be part of the conversation in the first place. You should just talk about how pretty the celebrities are at the Oscar, or what your favorite thing is. Not everything said in this video was true, on either side, although the skeptic maybe more likely to be correct in the overall viewpoint, the reasons they were right were not accurately presented in this video. It okay if you want to believe what someone said is true, but you shouldn't use that belief as evidence for someone else to believe it also. Either present the evidence and prove your case, or just say "I am not convinced of your position, even though I can't directly demonstrate an alternative view , I can be sure you haven't presented enough evidence for me to accept your viewpoint either", just because no one knows the answer in the conversation, doesn't mean any answer thrown in there is correct. Its all good though, at least the skeptics are looking for truth and not looking for affirmation of their beliefs.
@criticalthinker420 I agree that skepticism should be the default approach to any claim regardless of the source, my only point in what I said was to say that someone saying "I don't know how/understand how/ x 'could be true, so I don't believe it is"' especially when it comes to well established science, is not a remotely better position than "I trust the expert consensus on this subject that's been demonstrated to have at least gone through peer review".
That doesn't mean there aren't people out there with ulterior motives in the studies they're running, or that even a sincere attempt at peer review couldn't be wrong, just simply that a source that's at least attempted critical analysis and peer review is more often a reliable source than just "nuh uh" and personal intuition ("common sense").
Regardless, everyone should still review the reasoning or data behind any argument presented, and anyone who is giving an argument should be prepared to substantiate it or admit they can't.
@@criticalthinker420 EVERYONE is appealing to some sort of authority, and at some time it becomes pointless not to. Did you ever really prove 1+1 is 2? Do you know whats in the all the food you eat, yes its on the label but did you test it? Like do you HAVE to understand ever concept of globe to trust its true?
The Moon is moving away from Earth.
I was confused by that one myself. I had always heard that the moon was slowly drifting away from earth.
@@ifritmog9011 Correct, it moves away by about 4cm per year
She misspoke.
She apparently made a video correcting herself on this! She gets a "pass" as she was still learning!
I blame Victor.
One of his biggest problems is not understanding the scale of the distance between objects in the Solar System and their relative size.
Yeah, I noticed that as well. And it's of course OK not understanding or not being able to imagine something (because granted, those are huge distances in human terms).
What would be nice, though, is if he'd be open to someone trying to explain it to him or at least accept that the things that work (GPS, for instance) are true.
Failure of imagination is the primary problem with flerfers and creationists and so on. Understanding scale is a function of imagination. Or a use of. Or whichever word it is that makes this make sense. Shuddup. I'm tired.
I remember looking up the original upload of this guy when I heard him call in again a few months ago.
Because it made me realize he has been calling into skeptic shows for 6+ years, always repeating the same things, always displaying the same insufferable behavior.
No intention of learning. No intention of actually responding to what the hosts actually say, even when one of the hosts genuinely works in the relevant fields. Just wanting to hear himself talk and throw out the talking points he is obsessed with. To the point where his response to counter arguments is just "No."
He's a hugely dislikable person on his own. But I also was frustrated to realize that a lot of the skeptic broadcasts have helped him feed his delusion for nearly a decade by not acknowledging he was not interested in actually engaging. Just spouting his talking points.
yeah, was gonna say the same. Such a distinctive voice, such a TOTAL lack of humility when speaking with people who've dedicated their lives to the topic. So, so punchable.
Welcome to the absolute stupidity of flatturdia, they live in a world of their own.
To fair, basically all flat earthers have no intention of learning.
@@rthompsn2007 How true, I don't think they're able to learn, they're way too dense.
Caller has shown typical dumb denial. But, the guest has said incorrectly, that the moon is getting slowly towards the Earth, but it is mowing away in fact.
To a flerf, "aerospace engineer" translates as "I tell lies for a living by threatening pilots to keep dipping the nose, or else, while maintaining all the far-flung holographic projectors that fabricate the night sky."
It is even more amazing that when pilots of opposing countries at war with each other those pilots who will shot each other out of the sky will still keep it secret that they are creating “ChemTrails” and keep it secret that they continue to dip the nose of the plane from time to time as not to bump into the firm barrier of earth’s atmosphere and where “you” think the stars are painted for us to see them. 😅😂
Callers like this vote . . .
That's the real problem.
Actually, they probably don't believe in democracy.
Moon is moving AWAY from Earth slowly.
lol when i heard that i had to rewind the vid. As far as i understand, moon orbits getting further from earth, thats one of the reason total eclipses are less likely to occur.
Flat earther be like "big numbers are big therefore not on ball cause i know feel numbers"

The other planets in space are "balls" except earth? Mm, yea, riiiihgt... 🙄
That was my thought exactly! 😂
Ah, but they don't look like balls if you look at them using an out of focus P1000 camera.
It's hilarious the way every flat earther used to spout the same spiel almost word for word
Used to? They still are!
That's how indoctrination works. Perfect example. They have their 'religious script' that they all follow.
I love how they interject "666" into these discussions as if it actually means anything.
As a Christian, I find it down right offensive when these clowns do this. The number in scripture is “666”. Not 66,600 or 66.6 or .666. And just interjecting those three numbers together at random points means absolutely nothing.
Let me just say that the overwhelming vast majority of Christians, as in about 99.999%, do NOT think the way this idiot does.
This guy is the fallacy of personal incredulity distilled into a person.
Very well said
The moon is actually getting farther from the earth, not closer. She probably just misspoke on that one.
It’s not misspeaking, she actually said the Earth and moon will collide. And she doesn’t time know who Cavendish is/was. Something off about her. That said, the caller is an insufferable ass
Every teacher Victor ever had has my sympathy. His brain is flat. 🌎
I used to work at the space center and believe me the earth is round..
This one is truly a classic.
At what point do we consider someone like Victor mentally ill? There's gotta be a level of rejecting measurable facts that is pathological. I feel like Victor has crossed it.
“That’s a large margin”
“Actually that’s not a large margin because it’s an inverse square relationship”
That got a solid chuckle out of me

Waii, a theist, flat earther, AND a young earth creationist?!?! He hit.the trifecta of stupidity!

1.argue from ignorance loudly and continuously, not giving the other party a chance to speak.
2. If the other party does get a chance to speak, ignore what they say, laugh and resort to number 1
One of my clients has traveled up in space. Whenever an idiot tries to tell me the earth is flat, I tell them about my client, then they shut up.
Or they cry "Shill!" I'm quite sure if you were to stick a flerfer in a craft and hoik them up there, they'd cry "Hologram!"

"satellites don't exist." "How are you calling us right now?" *goes to next topic*

Well, most of the internet traffic is through underwater cables, not satellites.
This seems like a good example of that saying, "Arguing with an idiot is like playing chess with a pigeon. It's just going to knock over all the pieces, poop on the board and then strut around like it won anyway".
That’s why I teach people not to argue with globe idiots. They are victims of a globe brainwash and indoctrination from early age
I'm guessing this Viktor guy spells Math with an "E", and it's not the first time he's done it. He's gives off the vibe of a guy with a restaining order, who's been kicked out of more baseball games than he can remember.
The caller is using the “Gish gallop” technique, where you just keep talking OVER the other person.
It is truly sad we still have to argue about flat earth, its wild
Dude flat earthers already did 2 experiments that proved the earth round.
Flat earther: I dont understand, therefore everyone else is wrong".
You could see them laughing right away at this clown. Stay in school kids.
Remember kids, if you dont understand something, it must be fake.
Aah the classic flat earther argument of essentially "I don't understand it therefore it's not real"
Wow. He really was talking so much that he hadn't even noticed he'd been muted and then, with zero self-awareness, confirms this when asked.
Why do we study, experiment, or bother to learn anything when we could just ask Victor?
Flat earthers - “I don’t understand how this works, so it doesn’t work”
Well, Flerf, how does Flat Earth work? You need to have laws that predict the observable facts no worse than normal physics does. And a theory of why this stuff is would also be nice.
And then we will see if you can deliver that and if it is as simple as what normal physics provides. Example:
Geocentrism needs a lot of work to explain why planets go retrograde, the heliocentric model is simple and clear with no trickery. Believe in geocentrism all you want, but do the calculations in the easy and more correct model.
The first thing he said was "we have a scientist on, now we can have a conversation". And as soon as science is brought up he denies science. What a wacko.
Interesting call from Trump’s Chief Scientific Advisor
Victor's evidence for the non-existence of the satellites that allow for the very communications systems he's using to convey the message? His assertion: "Inconceivable! It's impossible."
Would be nice if we could bar people who deny they work how the people researching and engineering them say they work from having and using them.
I mean they can always go and develop their own device based on their understanding 😅
He probably has a sat dish pointing at an imaginary sat.
I just googled ,,satellites through a telescope". There is a fuck load of pictures
One thing i learned from Victor. Nothing is real, if you dont want it to be real.
When he popped off with Satellites being fake my jaw dropped. No way you can argue with this guy.
I love how the caller's entire argument is "That sounds ridiculous to me, therefore it must be false."
Most of these clowns refuse to even accept the most basic ideas. That’s why they can’t be convinced. It’s like adults trying to convince a toddler. There is a Language barrier.
EJ was always awesome to hear from
Victor, get out of NYC and go to a dark place some night and you can see satellites without a telescope.
I see satellites from bklyn, but I know what I'm looking at in the sky
@@chaosmarklar OK then, Victor, you can stay home and see satellites.
Why are the most ignorant the most arrogant? It’s baffling that he thinks he understands orbital mechanics better than her 😂😂😂
He sounds so much like Tony Soprano, I was waiting for him to say, "nice globe Earth you got there, be a shame if something happened to it."
Early on Victor from Brooklyn denied that the Earth rotates at 1000mph and wasn't challenged. In reality the 'speed' depends on latitude which wouldn't exist on a flat Earth. Standing at the North Pole you would slowly rotate a full 360 every 24 hours (facing due South at all times!) whereas at the Equator 1000mph is closer to the mark.
He was gish galloping haard
EJ should do more of these shows.
As a mechanical aerospace engineer myself, I can tell you that EJ was talking outside of their field when discussing the orbit of the moon. (That would be astronomy.) This shows why it is always dangerous for someone to do that.
How so?
How so? Because they said something that is the opposite of the actual facts, making them look ignorant, and making the other things they say, which may be correct, unnecessarily suspect.
I wish I could upvote this to the top of the comments.

Why do people talk to these trolls? You can't argue with stupid!
Sometimes it takes a while to realize that they're a troll. Unfortunately many people really believe that if they don't understand something, it's not true.
They believe themselves to be so special that their brain holds the truth to the universe. It's always about them.

OK she’s a little confused there, the moon is moving away from the Earth at a few centimeter a year.
@7:00 NO!!! The moon is actually getting further away from Earth. Come on, aerospace engineer. I'd expect this to be covered in those classes you mentioned!!!
What else would you expect from someone not familiar with Cavendish 😅. How in the world does one get to an orbital mechanics course without thinking 🤔 I wonder where this G comes from? 😂
Looked up iss from earth on google. Got tons of pictures of just that.
Did he attempt his own challenge?
Nope, because he's a troll
Victor is an example of Dunning Kruger at its best.
Victor would benefit from not talking over everyone.
Slightly bothered by some host comments. The moon is moving away from the earth slowly. It was made from a collision with the earth and has been moving away ever since. At some point a total solar eclipse won't be a thing anymore.
Also winter isn't caused by the elliptical orbit, it's the angle of the earth. Otherwise the whole earth would experience winter and summer at once.
I appreciate how hard it is to host a call-in show and that mistakes are made easily in a conversation. It makes the other points made by the host harder to accept by people like the caller that are listening in.
No it doesn't. YOu don't need anything beyond having gone to school through junior high school to rebut all of Victor's points. That they threw in some slightly inaccurate things doesn't matter.
Flat earthers make your brain hurt
The seasons are not a result of Earth's elliptical orbit. They are a result of Earth's tilted axis.
Is it tilted 23.4 degrees? What’s 90-23.4
@@Globeisahoaxx it’s 66.6 degrees. So what? It’s not “666”. It’s 66.6 and it means nothing. The Earth is tilted 23.4 degrees on its rotational axis. It’s not tilted 66.6 degrees.
@@bretttrommler756 666 means nothing? Do a survey and ask 1000 people if 666 means anything. See what they say
"I love being wrong."
Well then, they've got some great news for you!
Flat earthers are just trolls ... not a single flat earther has EVER made a pilgrimage to the edge. They all know it's not flat, they just like arguing (and losing).
Flat earth is giant lake , contained by ice barrier. What edge are you talking about, silly fluoride zombie
What I'm reminded of with this conversation is those coin funnel things they used to have at every mall, where you'd roll a quarter into it and the momentum of the quarter would keep it from rolling straight into the center. Maybe this guy never got to use them, to see how priciples of physics like momentum, velocity, and orbit work in tandum.
I've never spoken to a flerfer in real life, pretty sure I'd just point at them and laugh until I pass out.
This sounds like the arguments in the 1700s about how man could never travel at 50 miles per hour.
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience. :) :)
Flat Earther "having trouble thinking about things in 3D" is a big part of the problem
It's crazy how some people like Victor can predict the motion of planets with pure intuition. It's a wonder he doesn't apply to NASA.
