What follows is a clinical breakdown of the intellectual and psychological decay of David Weiss (Flat Earth Dave). It serves as a cautionary timeline showing how a "skeptic" can transform into a total reality-rejector. This isn't just about a disagreement over the shape of the Earth; it is a documented trajectory of how isolation and conspiracy-theory feedback loops lead to a complete break from the shared physical world. By tracing his "evolution" backward, we can see exactly where logic was abandoned in favor of a manic, all-encompassing delusion.
The Descent of Flat Earth Dave: A
Progression of Delusion
Stage 1: The "Kitchen Table" Skeptic
What he said: "Water always finds its level" and "Why can I see the Chicago skyline from across the lake?"
How it sounded: His entry point. He used basic, flawed observations to sound like a "regular guy" just pointing out "common sense" errors in science.
The Progress: At this point, he was still grounded in the physical world; he just didn't understand atmospheric refraction or the scale of the Earth.
Stage 2: The Institutional Paranoid
What he said: "NASA is a movie studio," "The moon landings were filmed in Nevada," and "Antarctica is a guarded ice wall."
How it sounded: The tone shifted from "I’m curious" to "They are lying to you." He started dismissing any evidence that contradicted him as "CGI" or "propaganda."
The Progress: He stopped looking for his own proof and started focusing entirely on discrediting others. This is where the world started getting "smaller" and more hostile.
Stage 3: The Reality Rejector
What he said: "The Sun isn't a physical object, it's a projection," and "Stars are just lights in the water above the firmament."
How it sounded: This is where the logic totally broke. He moved from "The Earth is flat" to "Outer space doesn't exist at all." He began sounding frantic, using word-salad to explain away basic physics.
The Progress: Total detachment. He’s no longer arguing about the shape of the Earth; he’s arguing that the literal sky is a fake hologram.
Stage 4: The Full-Blown Delusional Zealot
What he said: "History is a total fabrication," "Trees aren't real," and "Everyone who disagrees is a bot or a demon."
How it sounded: Hostile, manic, and deeply clinical. He now views himself as a lone prophet in a world where everything—nature, history, and people—is a trick meant specifically to fool him.
The Progress: This is the "End Game" of his delusion. It’s no longer about a flat earth; it’s a total psychological collapse where he is the only "real" person and everyone else is a conspirator.
A Sincere Reality Check for Dave
Dave, watching your recent content is like watching a car crash in slow motion where the driver thinks he’s actually flying. You’ve moved past the "curious skeptic" phase and entered a territory where even your own shadows are a conspiracy. When you start claiming that the sun is a projection and that every person with a telescope is a paid actor, you aren't "exposing the truth"—you’re broadcasting a total psychological collapse. It’s clear the "dome" you keep talking about is actually just the inside of your own head getting smaller and smaller. For someone who claims to love the truth, you seem terrified of the one truth that’s staring you in the face: you need to step away from the green screen, put down the P-900, and talk to a mental health professional before you lose what’s left of your grip on the actual world. There is a whole beautiful, spherical universe out here waiting for you to rejoin it once you stop being afraid of basic geometry. We haven't stopped evolving, Dave, but you seem determined to head in the opposite direction.
