This last line sounds more like you, Neil.  Rest of the article is nothing but a string of unsubstantiated gratuitous assertions.
.
That last line was not written by me, I can assure you, but I don't disagree with it.
(I might have corrected spelling and deleted the "s" on "there minds" because I don't like to repeat bad grammar or bad syntax.)
.
The rest of the article does not provide citations or sources, but every one of the assertions are things I have run into myself.
So I don't disagree with any of them, which is why I posted them here.
The author had a much earlier start in this than I did, so this quote from what he wrote over a year ago was way ahead of me.
I had most of this to learn at that time, so I'm a newcomer compared to Steve Baker.
But that doesn't mean I can't use what he makes public.
Would you like to take issue with anything in particular?
Or do you prefer to hide behind empty blanket statements like your "compelling evidence?" (Which is patently not compelling)

Sly, you do an awesome job of concisely illustrating the spherical dynamics.  Most people, in trying to debunk flat earthers, easy as it should be, get lost in the minutiae and misspeak or incorrectly reference scientific data. You break it down very clearly.

The comments to your video show how useless it is to argue against what conspiracy theorists and religious fundamentalists believe. Wasted time teaching those who want to stay uneducated.

They use these sophisticated videocams.  They upload these millions of bytes of video.  Their videos go out worldwide.  They have no clue about how it all works, but they trust that it's not magic.

But people in science are lying to them?

OMG!     Great work again Sly.    (another typo for you, there should be an 'm' in compressed  @ about 3.26 ;-)  )  

I see the flat earthers answer is "perspective"   oh dear oh dear. They just don't understand perspective at all.

Excellent video. Pretty hard to refute your step-by-step illustration. But the flat Earthers will find a way to refute it, nonetheless. With their stunning misunderstanding of perspective, I'd wager. Or rather, their claim that YOU don't understand it, even though your video takes it into account implicitly.

It's amazing that flattards can't come up with one good reason why "they" would lie about the shape of the earth LMFAO!!!!

Flat earthers are not up to par on math or physics so they don't have a clue on what was just shown .

Killed it Sly! Flat earth is over. That's curvature with a control...a big control. You just utterly destroyed the "refraction" or "perspective" excuses flatties try at every example of clear curvature. There is no denying this one. There is no way that you could
video this image unless the earth was a globe. It's going to have to be a totally new concoction now. What will it be this time? electrolisystic wavefrontal despersive
interference caused by the aether from radio waves intersecting the light emanating from the building but not the mountan. CGI will have to be everywhere...either wake up to reality, or go off the deep end into matrix-hologrammatic -non-corporeal world-ness. The choice is to ignore this or it will break the fantasy. kudos!

Great video. I've been looking through the comments, and the flatties seem to have no grasp on basic geometry, as usual. Astoundingly stupid arguments. My favorite is the 'things get smaller so the mountain is small.'

Awesome presentation!  All factual references that just about anybody could look up and examine..,  

Great job.

All that is left is to gather up the Flat Earth tears.

Nicely done.

I'm sure the FEers will say perspective or "planospheric" lensing or some other nonsense.

:facepalm:

Utterly idiotic.  It's optics/perspective 101 that things appear smaller as they get farther away from the observer.  It's this kind of thing that discredits globe earthism, when globe earthers present this a "proof".

Not sure what you're getting at here. The video seems to be arguing perspective. 
Here's the question, then. In a flat earth world, for an observer at the same level as their bases, can you say which of these should appear taller: a 20m tall object that is 20 km away, or a 120m tall object that is 60 km away?
If that's not enough information to decide, what other factors would you need to know?
