| flat earth international space station: Flat Earthers Around the Globe James Egan, 2018-07-21 Although you may think this book's title is a joke, I assure you that there are people today that adamantly believe the world is flat. Worse still, the number of Flat Earthers has been increasing in recent years. How could that be possible? NASA has taken photos of the Earth from space to confirm it is round. According to The Flat Earth Society, NASA are lying. NASA never went to space... because space isn't real. You might find this concept preposterous. Are Flat Earthers suggesting every astronomer and physicist is wrong? No. Flat Earthers believe that so-called scientists know the Earth is flat but they are lying. Why would anyone lie about the shape of the Earth? How can Flat Earthers be so sure? If the Earth is flat, why doesn't the oceans spill out at the sides? All of these questions will be explained in this book. Read on to learn the history of the Flat Earth community, why they believe what they believe, and most importantly, how we know their beliefs are irrefutably false. |

| flat earth international space station: Flat Earth Clues Mark Sargent, 2023-12-04 Is the Flat Earth theory that has been burning through the internet now ushering in the End of the World? Take a look at how we got here with Mark Sargent, star of the Netflix documentary Behind the Curve and creator of Flat Earth Clues. Go behind the scenes in tell-all chapters covering many of the major players in the Flat Earth community, both friend and foe. Break down some of the experiments being conducted by the activists, and find answers to the most common Flat Earth questions posed today. What role will NASA and the government have to play in the upcoming conflict? Where will religion stand when the dust settles? Will science be able to do anything to stem the tide of anti-scientism? ABOUT THE AUTHOR Mark Sargent started out playing software games professionally. As a part time hobby he'd investigate and debunk conspiracy theories. The 'Flat Earth Theory' was the last on the list. Thinking this would be an easy case he was surprised to discover that the rabbit hole extended further than he ever could have imagined. In 2015, Mark put his thoughts together in a series of You Tube videos as 'Flat Earth Clues' which have been utilised by other You Tube creators and seen by millions in some format or other. This bought the opportunity to publish his first book Flat Earth Clues: The Sky's the Limit which delves into the possibility of our human civilization being inside a Truman Show like enclosed system and how it's been hidden from the public since 1956. Since then Mark has produced over 1,000 Flat Earth videos, been interviewed hundreds of times, and speaks to groups in different countries regarding this extraordinary claim. He hosts a weekly radio show on Truth Frequency Radio where you can hear more of his thoughts on this subject. |
| flat earth international space station: THE FLAT EARTHERS LIFE ON THE EDGE OF REALITY tim ozman, 2018-09-19 When the question of whether the Earth is a ball or not becomes unignorable, a group of independent researchers collaborate on a way to find out the truth. Tim Ozman, CEO of Saturn-X, gets dragged into the middle of the controversy as a whistle blower and perhaps the only person with the tenacity to go all the way to the edge. The only thing stopping him? The Flat Earthers themselves, who prove to be a dysfunctional bunch. Paranoid, crazy, and yes, violent. Please share this book with Flat Earthers everywhere, especially those who have already gone over the edge and will not come back to the Globe. |
| flat earth international space station: Some Laughs with the Flat-Earthers Iraya Ahemón García, 2025-03-29 Some Laughs with the Flat-Earthers takes you on a journey to the edge of reason — and possibly to the edge of the world, if you ask the right people. This is not a scientific treatise, nor a conspiracy manifesto. It’s a satirical safari through the wonderfully bizarre landscape of modern flat-Earth belief. From rulers aimed at the horizon to water levels built with melons, this book dives into the wildest arguments and experiments ever invented to deny gravity, curvature, and sometimes even common sense. With witty dialogues, absurd scenarios, and a tone that oscillates between affectionate mockery and pure disbelief, this book is ideal for anyone who has ever tried to debate a conspiracy theorist… or wisely chosen to just laugh instead. Warning: Side effects may include excessive giggling, existential confusion, and the sudden desire to throw your globe out the window. |
| flat earth international space station: The Flat-Earth Conspiracy Eric Dubay, 2014-11-09 Wolves in sheep's clothing have pulled the wool over our eyes. For almost 500 years, the masses have been thoroughly deceived by a cosmic fairy-tale of astronomical proportions. We have been taught a falsehood so gigantic and diabolical that it has blinded us from our own experience and common sense, from seeing the world and the universe as they truly are. Through pseudo-science books and programs, mass media and public education, universities and government propaganda, the world has been systematically brain-washed, slowly indoctrinated over centuries into the unquestioning belief of the greatest lie of all time. A multi-generational conspiracy has succeeded, in the minds of the masses, to pick up the fixed Earth, shape it into a ball, spin it in circles, and throw it around the Sun! The greatest cover-up of all time, NASA and Freemasonry's biggest secret, is that we are living on a plane, not a planet, that Earth is the flat, stationary center of the universe. |
| flat earth international space station: The Flat Earth Trilogy Book of Secrets I Gregory Lessing Garrett, 2018-12-20 This book is an Anthology of Gregory Lessing Garrett's writings and others on the topic of Flat Earth Plane Cosmology of all types, including Enclosed Earth, Hollow Earth, Concave Earth, Infinite Plane Earth, The Enochian Earth Model, etc... The hope is that the ideas expounded in this Flat Earth Trilogy series will provide compelling justifications for the claim that no curvature can be found on the Earth, which points to the empirical conclusion that we live on a plane and not a spinning ball in science fiction outer space. The details regarding the possible topography of the Earth are discussed in depth in this book, but ultimately, the absolute true topography of the Earth is not known by anyone. -Gregory Lessing Garrett |

| flat earth international space station: The Chaos Machine Max Fisher, 2022-09-06 Finalist for the Helen Bernstein Book Award for Excellence in Journalism From a New York Times investigative reporter, this “authoritative and devastating account of the impacts of social media” (New York Times Book Review) tracks the high-stakes inside story of how Big Tech’s breakneck race to drive engagement—and profits—at all costs fractured the world. The Chaos Machine is “an essential book for our times” (Ezra Klein). We all have a vague sense that social media is bad for our minds, for our children, and for our democracies. But the truth is that its reach and impact run far deeper than we have understood. Building on years of international reporting, Max Fisher tells the gripping and galling inside story of how Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and other social network preyed on psychological frailties to create the algorithms that drive everyday users to extreme opinions and, increasingly, extreme actions. As Fisher demonstrates, the companies’ founding tenets, combined with a blinkered focus on maximizing engagement, have led to a destabilized world for everyone. Traversing the planet, Fisher tracks the ubiquity of hate speech and its spillover into violence, ills that first festered in far-off locales, to their dark culmination in America during the pandemic, the 2020 election, and the Capitol Insurrection. Through it all, the social-media giants refused to intervene in any meaningful way, claiming to champion free speech when in fact what they most prized were limitless profits. The result, as Fisher shows, is a cultural shift toward a world in which people are polarized not by beliefs based on facts, but by misinformation, outrage, and fear. His narrative is about more than the villains, however. Fisher also weaves together the stories of the heroic outsiders and Silicon Valley defectors who raised the alarm and revealed what was happening behind the closed doors of Big Tech. Both panoramic and intimate, The Chaos Machine is the definitive account of the meteoric rise and troubled legacy of the tech titans, as well as a rousing and hopeful call to arrest the havoc wreaked on our minds and our world before it’s too late. |
| flat earth international space station: The FLAT EARTH ACTIVIST 3rd Edition Tim Ozman, 2018-10-30 Are you tired of arguing with Ball-Earthers and getting nowhere? Are you unable to get them to see through the truth's protective layers? The Flat Earth is a hard sell because the Ball-Earthers have never considered an alternative and all of the propaganda supports what they already believe. They have a vested interest in maintaining their own mental stability so it's not easy getting them to willingly take on the cognitive dissonance required to wrap their mind around the biggest lie ever told. The Flat Earth Activist is divided into two parts: Part One focuses on debate tactics and Part Two focuses upon the task of deconstructing the Globe Paradigm and advancing a Flat Earth Reformation.

| flat earth international space station: Escaping the Rabbit Hole Mick West, 2023-06-20 Revised and updated for the first time in 2023—Now includes strategies for debunking conspiracies regarding the coronavirus pandemic, election fraud, QAnon, UFOs, and more. The Earth is flat, the World Trade Center collapse was a controlled demolition, planes are spraying poison to control the weather, and actors faked the Sandy Hook massacre. All these claims are bunk: falsehoods, mistakes, and in some cases, outright lies. But many people passionately believe one or more of these conspiracy theories. They consume countless books and videos, join like-minded online communities, try to convert those around them, and even, on occasion, alienate their own friends and family. Why is this, and how can you help people, especially those closest to you, break free from the downward spiral of conspiracy thinking? In Escaping the Rabbit Hole, author Mick West shares over a decade’s worth of knowledge and experience investigating and debunking false conspiracy theories through his forum, MetaBunk.org, and sets forth a practical guide to helping friends and loved ones recognize these theories for what they really are. Perhaps counter-intuitively, the most successful approaches to helping individuals escape a rabbit hole aren’t comprised of simply explaining why they are wrong; rather, West’s tried-and-tested approach emphasizes clear communication based on mutual respect, honesty, openness, and patience. West puts his debunking techniques and best practices to the test with the most popular false conspiracy theories today (Chemtrails, The Coronavirus Pandemic, 9/11 Controlled Demolition, Election Fraud, False Flags, Flat Earth, The Rising of QAnon, and UFOs)—providing road maps to help you to understand your friend and help them escape the rabbit hole. These are accompanied by real-life case studies of individuals who, with help, were able to break free from conspiracism. With sections on: the wide spectrum of conspiracy theories avoiding the “shill” label psychological factors and other complications (and concluding with) a look at the future of debunking Mick West has put forth a conclusive, well-researched, practical reference on why people fall down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole and how you can help them escape. |

| flat earth international space station: False Joe Pierre, 2025-03-03 This book illuminates the psychology of false belief that lies at the root of the kind of science denialism, political polarization, and rampant belief in misinformation and disinformation alike that has become so common in today's post-truth world. |
| flat earth international space station: Flat Earth Clues Mark Sargent, 2023-12-04 The Flat Earth Clues book gives you 14 compelling reasons why you should rethink the globe model that you have been taught. Before you were born, before your parents, your grandparents, before you even had a family line… there was the illusion, the trick, the lie... That you lived on a small spinning rock, flying through space. What if, after centuries of preaching the globe as a religious icon, the powers that be found out that it was actually not a sphere, but instead something much different? Would they risk unravelling 500 years of science doctrine by informing the public? Could a government still retain it's authority if there were actually proof of a higher power? It's about proving the Flat Earth, but more importantly, it's about disproving the globe, and that shouldn't be possible, but there are several big questions which science has a difficult time with. Why was there only one blue marble image used for 43 years? Where are the videos of the earth rotating from space? Astronauts can't turn around in space with the camera running? Not even by accident? Are the Van Allen radiation belts dangerous? Why does the Orion Trial by Fire video exist? Why was the space shuttle program cancelled? Why does the Mars mission keep getting postponed? Why are they closing down the ISS? Why is Psalm 19:1 on Werner Von Braun's headstone? Why is the moon generating a light that is sometimes 12 degrees colder than the moon shade? How is that possible if it's reflecting the suns rays? And if the moon is generating it's own light source, then what was that dark grey thing we landed on? We can beam back crystal clear photos of Pluto, but the Global Positioning System doesn't track planes in the Southern oceans? And why does this topic, compared to ANY other, conspiracy or not, make people excited, angry, or scared? Some of you are getting anxious just listening! Why? Because it's the greatest trick of all, and we all fell for it. You should be excited, because it's going to change the world. You should be angry, because you were fooled your entire life, and you should be a little scared, because this is uncharted territory. This is the Flat Earth theory, that the world is easy to understand, more intimate, and very deliberate. It didn't just happen, it was built, and more importantly built for you. Open your eyes and smile. You have never been alone. Published by Booglez Limited, UK - Flat Earth Clues is digestible nuggets of information broken down in a very reader-friendly way. Author Mark Sargent is located in the USA. He features in the Netflix documentary Behind The Curve (2018). Mark runs a regular radio show on Truth Frequency Radio where you can phone in and discuss the topic. |
| flat earth international space station: Hello, Is This Planet Earth? Tim Peake, 2017-06-06 The #1 international bestseller: An astronaut's tour of our planet from the heavens, featuring 150 mesmerizing photographs (with commentary) from the International Space Station. During his six-month mission to the International Space Station, astronaut Tim Peake became the first British astronaut to complete a spacewalk -- and, perhaps more astonishingly, the first to run an entire marathon in space. During his historic mission, he captured hundreds of dazzling photographs, the very best of which are collected here. Tim captures the majesty of the cosmos and of the planet we call home: breath-taking aerial photos of the world's cities illuminated at night, the natural beauty of the northern lights, and unforgettable views of oceans, mountains, and deserts. Tim's lively stories about life in space appear alongside these photographs, including the tale from which the title is taken: his famous wrong number dialed from space, when he accidentally called a stranger and asked: Hello, is this planet Earth? With this truly unique perspective on the incredible sights of our planet, Tim demonstrates that while in space, hundreds of miles above his friends and family, he never felt closer to home. |
| flat earth international space station: Infinite Wonder Scott Kelly, 2018-10-30 From the record-breaking astronaut, national hero, and best-selling author of Endurance, a breathtaking collection of photos documenting his journey on the International Space Station, the vastness of space, and the unparalleled beauty of our own home planet. One's perspective shifts when one lives for an entire year--as Commander Scott Kelly, and no other American astronaut in history, has--in the isolating, grueling, and utterly unforgiving vacuum of space. Kelly's photos prove that this perspective--from 250 miles above Earth-- while hard-won, is also almost unspeakably beautiful. A gift for photography helped make Kelly a social media sensation, and here his photos are collected alongside his own commentary, which set the images in their proper contexts, human and cosmic. Kelly captures sunsets, moonrises, the aurora borealis, and the luminous, hazy tapestry of the Milky Way. He presents snapshots of life and work on the International Space Station, from spacewalks to selfies. But above all--or floating amidst all--he takes the earth itself as his celestial muse. Here are hurricanes, wrinkled mountains, New York City shining like a galaxy--glorious photographs that are, in themselves, a passionate argument for the preservation of our planet in the face of climate change and environmental destruction. |

| flat earth international space station: The New Model of Love Charles Lim Wu, 2018-05-11 Throughout history, weve been conditioned by society, media, education, and family to believe we need love to be happy. In The New Model of Love, author Charles Lim Wu examines and challenges this tightly held and deep-seated belief. He shows how love has evolved throughout the years and discusses the importance of realizing and accepting these changes to positively move forward. Wu looks at and redefines love. He explores the origins of the old model of love and tells how it no longer serves us to remain within its confines. The New Model of Love discusses how it can be daunting to confront the old model, but once that fear is conquered, youll be free to love as youve never loved before. Once you accept the new model, youll find freedom in love and liberation from the shackles of needing love from others. Youll stop seeking love and start creating it for yourself. Using his personal experiences and discoveries as a backdrop, Wu offers an opportunity to experience abundant joy and happiness in all your relationships, with the goal of naturally and freely experiencing infinite love. |
| flat earth international space station: The Meadows Glenda Norwood Petz, 2024-01-02 Murder. Unexplainable disappearances. Illegal surveillance inside private homes. Human organ trafficking. A secret society with unorthodox customs. Are these occurrences mere coincidences, or are the inexplicable phenomena connected? Welcome to Sunnyside Meadows, an elite community housing eclectic, bizarre citizens, one of whom is a cold-blooded murderer hiding in plain sight. Undercover FBI Agents Cal and Janna Dillard are sent to Newton, Pennsylvania to investigate reports of a human organ trafficking ring, unaware that the home they’re assigned to in the Meadows was the site of two grisly murders a month prior. Their residency inadvertently involves them in a homicide investigation being conducted by Dale Benson, a dogged detective who’s committed to proving that Bill and Barbara Hamner were murdered by someone in the neighborhood. Collaborating to solve both cases, what they uncover is disturbing and unlike any assignment they’ve ever been embroiled in. A unique clique led by the mysterious Belladonna, a dark figure whose true identity is unknown, dominates the Meadows and its inhabitants. But this is no ordinary cult. The sect members are toxic and inhumane with ravenous appetites, and all are willing to kill to keep their ominous secret quiet. Cal, Janna, and Benson have less than twenty-four hours to devise a plan that will get them onto heavily guarded and secured property to rescue the young girl who’s being held hostage and prevent her from becoming the lodge’s next casualty. |

| flat earth international space station: The Earth Is Flat! - The Vedic Perspective Hariprem Das, 2022-10-06 From the perspective of Vedic scripture( commonly referred to as the Hindu scripture), the earth is flat. We are on an island called JAMBŪDVĪPA and there are more islands which are undiscovered due to our collective sinful karma. Jambudvipa itself hasn't been fully discovered yet, and we only know about a discovered part of what is called Bhārata-varṣa (which is within it). As per ISKCON founder Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada, our discovery of greater regions is as that of a bull tied to a stake, which keeps going round and round, and so we mistakenly imagine the earth as a round globe. This is primarily due to consequences of greed in us, that we feel that we are floating in space with noone else in a Godless universe. However, that isn't so. Our greed pushed us to make a magnetic compass(for example) and follow it's needle which supposedly changes with earth's magnetic field. However, the bhu-mandala ie earth plane, does not have any magnetic waves at all! Those are emitted by Rahu planet(greed/attachment/magnetism(since it attracts)) which is a shadow planet(and is the north node of the moon). The opposite of Rahu is Ketu planet(detachment/south node of the moon) forming the positive and negative axis of magnetism. So, the compass needle is actually pointing to this Rahu ketu axis of magnetism! And not the earth plane. For this reason, we keep going round and round like a bull tied to a stake, and are unable to discover the greater regions and are limited like a toad in a well, who cannot fathom the grandeur of the ocean! Come and lets journey together to know exactly how large the flat earth plane really is, and all the fantastic beings that live on it! |
| flat earth international space station: Worldviews Richard DeWitt, 2018-06-05 Winner of the 2018 Choice Award for Outstanding Academic Title! PRAISE FOR PREVIOUS EDITIONS This is a brilliantly clear introduction (and indeed reframing) of the history and philosophy of science in terms of worldviews and their elements.... In addition, the book is incredibly well-informed from both a scientific and philosophical angle. Highly recommended. Scientific and Medical Network Unlike many other introductions to philosophy of science, DeWitt's book is at once historically informative and philosophically thorough and rigorous. Chapter notes, suggested readings, and references enhance its value. Choice Written in clear and comprehensible prose and supplemented by effective diagrams and examples, Worldviews is an ideal text for anyone new to the history and philosophy of science. As the reader will come to find out, DeWitt is a gifted writer with the unique ability to break down complex and technical concepts into digestible parts, making Worldviews a welcoming and not overwhelming book for the introductory reader. History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences, vol. 28(2) Now in its third edition, Worldviews: An Introduction to the History and Philosophy of Science strengthens its reputation as the most accessible and teachable introduction to the history and philosophy of science on the market. Geared toward engaging undergraduates and those approaching the history and philosophy of science for the first time, this intellectually-provocative volume takes advantage of its author's extensive teaching experience, parsing complex ideas using straightforward and sensible examples drawn from the physical sciences. Building on the foundations which earned the book its critical acclaim, author Richard DeWitt considers fundamental issues in the philosophy of science through the historical worldviews that influenced them, charting the evolution of Western science through the rise and fall of dominant systems of thought. Chapters have been updated to include discussion of recent findings in quantum theory, general relativity, and evolutionary theory, and two new chapters exclusive to the third edition enrich its engagement with radical developments in contemporary science. At a time in modern history when the nature of truth, fact, and reality seem increasingly controversial, the third edition of Worldviews presents complex concepts with clarity and verve, and prepares inquisitive minds to engage critically with some of the most exciting questions in the philosophy of science. |

| flat earth international space station: Pseudoscience Lydia Kang, Nate Pedersen, 2025-02-18 From the authors of Quackery, a visual and narrative history of popular ideas, phenomena, and widely held beliefs disproven by science. From the easily disproved to the wildly speculative, to straight-up hucksterism, Pseudoscience is a romp through much more than bad science—it’s a light-hearted look into why we insist on believing in things such as Big Foot, astrology, and the existence of aliens. Did you know, for example, that you can tell a person’s future by touching their butt? Rumpology. It’s a thing, but not really. Or that Stanley Kubrick made a fake moon landing film for the US government? Except he didn’t. Or that spontaneous human combustion is real? It ain’t, but it can be explained scientifically. Pseudoscience is a wild mix of history, pop culture, and good old fashioned science–that not just entertains, but sheds a little light on why we all love to believe in things we know aren't true. |
| flat earth international space station: The Sublimity of Document Scott MacDonald, 2019 The Sublimity of Document: Cinema as Diorama is a collection of in-depth, substantive interviews with moving-image artists working avant-doc, that is, making films that explore the territory between documentary and experimental cinema. The book uses the early history of the museum habitat diorama of animal life, specifically the Hall of African Mammals at the American Museum of Natural History, as a way of rethinking both early and modern cinema document--and especially those recent filmmakers and films that are devoted to providing viewers with panoramic documentations of places and events that otherwise they might never have opportunities to experience in person. This international collection of 27 interviews follows on MacDonald's earlier Avant-Doc: Intersections of Documentary and Avant-Garde Cinema (Oxford, 2015). The interviews, organized panoramically within the collection, are dense with information and insight, and readable by specialists and non-specialists alike. In most instances, these are the most in-depth and expansive-sometimes the first-interviews with these filmmakers. Together, these interviews offer an engaging panorama of the recent history and geography of cinema devoted to documenting the world around us, as well as an in-depth look at the challenges and accomplishments of filmmakers willing to go anywhere on the planet (or on the internet ) to document what they believe we need to see. MacDonald's general introduction provides an overall context for the collection, which includes interviews with Ron Fricke, Gustav Deutsch, Laura Poitras, Fred Wiseman, Nikolaus Geyrhalter, Bill Morrison, Brett Story, Abbas Kiarostami, Lois Pati o, Dominic Gagnon, Erin Espelie, Yance Ford, Janet Biggs, Carlos Adriano, Craig Johnson, Ben Russell, Betzy Bromberg, James Benning, Maxim Pozdorovkin, along with several veterans of Harvard's Sensory Ethnography Lab (and with the executive directors of the distributor, Documentary Educational Resources, which has served the field of independent documentary for nearly fifty years)--each interview is introduced with MacDonald's overview of the interviewee's life and work. The book includes filmographies and selected bibliographies for all the filmmakers. |

| flat earth international space station: Flipping The Narrative Veronykah Spencer, 2020-10-13 Do your personal observations of the world around you actually support heliocentric-model theories? Have you ever felt a sense of moral responsibility to understand why you believe what you think you know to be true? Do you long to gain a renewed sense of direction and hope for the future? Can you trust your senses to lead you to the Truth? Flipping the Narrative: A Pragmatic Approach to Flat Earth Cosmology dares to challenge the accepted cosmological narrative through an unconventional yet practical and systematic look at the evidence supporting a flat stationary Earth. Interest in Flat Earth Cosmology is constantly growing, particularly among millennials. Flipping the Narrative offers a rare female perspective among the Flat Earth community and discusses such hot topics as: • why we can't see clear across the earth if it's flat, proof of missing curvature, the surface tension of water and atmospheric pressure, wind currents, weather patterns, and seasons • how celestial navigation and the compass work on a flat earth, parallax and southern star patterns • how line of sight radio transmissions and GPS work, the Coriolis and Allais effects, auroras and other electro-magnetic phenomena, what the dome is and why it’s necessary, how Moon phases and eclipses work This unique book addresses many previously unanswered questions about cosmology in relation to a flat stationary earth. It also addresses less obvious inconsistencies in the heliocentric model, along with some impossibilities remaining completely overlooked in the globe earth model. Facts will always remain facts, but the interpretation of those facts is subject to our understanding of the evidence surrounding them. It is possible to flip the accepted narrative by releasing our minds from the bondage of theoretical science using the keys of empirical Truth. |

| flat earth international space station: Having Their Say Kristie Bunton, 2021-03-31 After Natalie Maines of The Dixie Chicks expressed her opposition to the Iraq War and President Bush in a country music concert, she was told to shut up and sing. When NFL player Colin Kaepernick protested police brutality by kneeling during the national anthem, he was applauded by some and demonized by others. Both had their careers irrevocably altered by speaking out for their beliefs. This book examines the ethical issues that arise when famous people speak out on issues often unrelated to the performances that brought those figures to public attention. It analyzes several celebrity speakers--singers Taylor Swift and the Chicks; satirist Jon Stewart; actor Tom Hanks; and athletes Serena Williams, Stephen Curry, Colin Kaepernick, and Naomi Osaka--and demonstrates that justifiable speaking requires celebrity speakers, journalists, and audiences to consider ethical issues regarding platform, intent, and harm. Celebrity speakers must exercise ethical care in a digital world where audiences equate celebrity status with authority and expertise about public issues. Finally, this book considers how people who are not famous can understand their ethical responsibilities for speaking out about public issues in their own spheres of influence. |

Such theories both fascinate and alarm critical thinkers because they challenge media consumers of all ages to hone their media literacy skills. This volume introduces the basic critical thinking concepts needed in order to evaluate the credibility of conspiracy theories, such as those surrounding the September 11 terrorist attacks and allegations of crisis actors after mass shootings, as well as the skills needed to debunk such theories.

| flat earth international space station: Autonomous Knowledge J. Adam Carter, 2022-02-01 A central conclusion developed and defended throughout the book is that epistemic autonomy is necessary for knowledge (both knowledge-that and knowledge-how) and in ways that epistemologists have not yet fully appreciated. The book is divided into five chapters. Chapter 1 motivates (using a series of twists on Lehrer's TrueTemp case) the claim that propositional knowledge requires autonomous belief. Chapters 2 and 3 flesh out this proposal in two ways, by defending a specific form of history-sensitive externalism with respect to propositional knowledge-apt autonomous belief (Chapter 2) and by showing how the idea that knowledge requires autonomous belief—understood along the externalist lines proposed—corresponds with an entirely new class of knowledge defeaters (Chapter 3). Chapter 4 extends the proposal to (both intellectualist and anti-intellectualist) knowledge-how and performance enhancement, and in a way that combines insights from virtue epistemology with research on freedom, responsibility, and manipulation. Chapter 5 concludes with a new twist on the Value of Knowledge debate, by vindicating the value of epistemically autonomous knowledge over that which falls short, including (mere) heteronomous but otherwise epistemically impeccable justified true belief. |
