Hearted Youtube comments on Professor Dave Explains (@ProfessorDaveExplains) channel.

  1. I am the second author of the paper you talked about at 7:10. When this was brought to my attention, I was shocked. We scientists tend to ignore all the pseudoscience stuff, but maybe we should pay more attention in the future. We work so hard to educate the public, but these conspiracy pseudoscientists are undoing our work. Thank you, Professor Dave, for taking your time to debunk the conspiracy theories. And just in case there is any confusion, our paper is about clouds in the interstellar medium, and has nothing to do with any of the doomsday BS.

  3. I am glad for you dave. For the last few years of my life i was a flat earther. Then i saw your response to globe busters video. After i watched the entire thing i just realized how stupid and dumb a flat earth was. Now i am heavily interested in astronomy. I thank you very much

  4. I wish this man well being and happiness. Because that is what he has given me as a desperate chem student.

  5. No longer believe the Earth is flat because of this video. GOD! All that wasted time and energy! Sorry guys, I'm joining the Global Team.

  7. Professor Dave, continuing to smack down pseudoscientific nonsense one charlatan at a time. Well done!

  8. Professor Dave, I know you probably won't see this but thank you. My father is a extremist flat earther who says things that some of the most crazy flat earthers think is crazy. And with your videos and points I finally have him questioning his ideas. He doesn't have any response because there is none. You are truly helping to clean up this disease that infects gullible people like my dad. The fight against radical conspiracy theorists isn't over but the one with flat earth may as well be.

  9. Our philosophy teacher in high school showed us "What the Bleep do we Know" and asked us to do a PowerPoint presentation on it. She didn't specify the length of the presentation, only the talking points: who were the people that worked on it, who were the people that talked on it and what can we learn. Thanks to a member of our team, we found out the people working on the "documentary" were linked to a cult and we prepared an hour long presentation on why everything was bollocks and why everyone said what they said and did what they did, including when was the cult formed, why it was a cult, why and how the documentary only showed what the cult wanted and how they used the common person's misunderstanding of science against them. To this day the best essay and presentation I've done.

  10. I fell for his schtick for 5 years... I turned my brain off for 5 years because his rhetoric sounded good. Thank you for this video, Dave. I dropped his channel immediately and started to get back into my love of weather and climate with legit sources.

  11. I tried crash course. I tried everything else. And you just answered it all in six minutes. You are amazing.

  12. I am a recovering evangelical christian. I believed them hook, line, and sinker. To escape, I actually had to get divorced. I am so appreciative of channels like this. Thanks for helping to keep me sane and educating me.

  13. I'm only halfway into this but dave, NEVER CHANGE your demeanor of condescension. Anti-intellectualism is going to be the end of our species - but mockery works. It's instantly disarming and people will jump to action to defend themselves (and the fence sitters may actually investigate pseudoscience claims). The world needs a hitchens 2.0

  14. I have no idea how you can sit through these dudes yapping. You got some serious resolve. Love your work keep fighting the good fight 💪

  15. Thank you chemistry jesus ❤️

  16. Yeah, well, that's just, like, your comprehensive model based on empirical evidence which has eliminated practically all other variables and is consistent beyond reasonable doubt, man.

  17. What concerns me the most is how independent ideas are "bundled" together. Very often when I have a conversation about climate change, people end up talking about big pharma, vaccines, GMO, transgenders, migrants, diversity... The arguments and the topic matter very little to most people. What matters is : what side you are on. We're less and less interested in debating ideas, and more about proving that we are on the right side of things. You're discussing climate and they're like "who cares about IPCC, scientists don't even know what a woman is anymore. And they feed us fake vaccines and pretend life was created by chance".

  18. I pay $1000/term for physics in collage for nothing and come here to learn everything for free. big respect for you sir.

  19. Cant believe I had to do this, but I gotta thank you. I have a friend who I always knew was on the dimmer side, but I didnt learn he believed in the flat earth until a few weeks ago. I found this video and showed it to him. He is actually pretty good at math and such, so he checked over the (very obvious) things that you stated in the video. He is no longer a flat earther, and frankly feels stupid for believing it for so long.. Now I just gotta convince him the moon landing was real imo. Thank you though, helped out a lot man.

  20. On a regular basis i search "Eric Weinstein is a fucking idiot" on youtube in the hopes that someone has produced new material shitting on the Weinstein bros. Today is one of those days

  21. This video will be totally not controversial.

  23. Thank you, Dave. A friend of mine had become a full creationist again after finding Discovery Institute, and when I showed this video, he immediately apologized for falling for the lies and promised to check sources the next time. I just wanted to type this so you knew that your video does have an affect, even on people formerly part of their fanbase.

  24. Hey, Dave! Let me tell you briefly why videos such as this one matter. I'm a teacher in Poland. 3 months ago I wanted to find a book on evolution to add to our school library. The largest bookstore in town had only a few of these... and each and every one was junk 'science' straight from the DI playbook. I checked the publishing house, and... surprise surprise... it's a DI-affiliate. Their reach is really broad! Naturally, I devoted an entire lesson to explaining ID, creationism and 'Kitzmiller v Dover' to my students. Please, keep exposing those frauds!

  25. Calling science "Materialist Science" is like calling maths "Calculational Mathematics"

  26. I really enjoy listening to debunkers debunk... but something about the way YOU do it, Professor Dave, not sure if it's your eloquent snarkiness, pandering sarcasm, fluent vocabulary, or unapologetic glibness, that makes your eviscerations so satisfying, but I LOVE IT! LOL

  27. We're getting so much Professor Dave content lately, it's like we won the lottery during a time of extreme uncertainty in the world. I really, really wish this style of science-bullying against scammers and grifting becomes the next "big thing" and science becomes the cool, alpha, chad power trip of the future, pleaaase, we need this.

  31. Dave, the men in my family are young earth creationists. I studied basic Biology and Chemistry so I knew they were wrong, but I didn’t have a deep enough understanding to be able to debunk their BS talking points. I’ve been absorbing your videos and I can’t wait to unleash all of it on them over the holidays. 😘

  33. I ran a state certified analytical water testing laboratory for a few years and I was very often pained by misinformation coming through our door. We would run city water for people, although the data was already openly published because individuals thought the data was "fabricated". We had people bring in their own raw stream water and be very confused when we presented high bacterial concentrations along with high nitrates from farm runoff. We tried our best to speak to people and educate them, but it was often futile. It's good to hear your take on this, I really appreciate and share your videos.

  34. this video made my flat earther friend finally understand the world is round. Thank you

  35. I was staff at TESC at that time. Thank you for writing about the truth of the events at TESC. It was so frustrating to watch everything unfold and see Bret manipulate the media coverage. There were multiple staff conversations before, during and after DOA/DOP. Bret was aware that he did not have to leave campus. Bret wanted to participate in the DEI activity on his terms, and burned everything down when he did not get his way. Bret had multiple chances to deescalate the situation, but chose to deliberately escalate everything.

  36. This 14 minute video was more helpful in me learning about 1H NMR then 5 lectures taught by my prof at uni. bless up prof dave!!

  38. "We've gathered a Biologist, an Astrophysicist, and a Geologist to explain to you why Creationism is true. The Biologist is going to cover Astrophysics, the Geologist will handle your Biology questions, and naturally, the Astrophysicist is really a preacher who believes in the Firmament and thinks Biology is a Satanic plot to implement TeleTubbies in public Universities."

  39. I've worked at FEMA for 7 yrs. Never in my life have I had to combat this level of idiocy in real time. It's exhausting and unprecedented.

  40. Better than Crash Course, if I may. Less drama, more facts delivered in a calm and composed manner.

  41. Neil DeGrasse Tyson: None of this makes sense, but this is beautiful art. Eric Weinstein: Neil doesn't understand any of this. He just dismissed Terry and said "nice shapes." I won't do that, I'll give Terry the time of day. Also Eric Weinstein: So anyway, all of this is bullshit but they are pretty shapes.

  42. thank you physics jesus

  43. Chemistry teachers are generally horrible. They understand it well, but they are unable to teach it for the students who have difficulty in grasping this subject. The way you teach is extremely simplified, and efficient. I LOVE YOU PROFESSOR! You've helped me through all my Chemistry classes, and saved my butt countless times through your videos. You'll be the reason I get into Grad school!
    1200
  44. you helped me in math, then in chemistry, then Organic chemistry, and now in physics <3. Thank your professor dave
    1200
  45. I personally think Professor Dave videos are better than Crash Course. Crash Course is distracting and fast, while Professor Dave explains and reviews. Thanks Dave!
    1200
  46. I don't know if you realize how impactful content like this is, but my s/o had major vaccine hesitancy. I showed them this video and it definitely quelled a lot of those fears they had. So thank you for this.

  47. As a former creationist that watched through this series, thank you. I grew up creationist and only went to creationist schools my whole life, even in college. I've literally never been to a public school. And so when I finally left I realized just how much a gap I had in understanding about, well, any of this. And series like this are incredibly helpful in giving my a base of understanding that I was never given growing up

  48. My child, when you saw only one set of footprints, thats when Professor Dave carried you through first year chem.

  50. “You just talk, talk, talk!” Yes, James. Here in the DEBATE Dave would like to TALK. It’s a calmer version of screaming; you may want to try it sometime
