Is there really a massive Ice Wall guarding the edge of the world? 🧊❄️

Imagine spending thousands of dollars to sail to Antarctica, convinced you are about to prove 2,000 years of science wrong—only to watch the sun refuse to set.

In this episode, we journey to the edge of reason to explore the Flat Earth "Ice Wall" Hoax. We break down "The Final Experiment," a real-life expedition where die-hard Flat Earthers faced the 24-hour Midnight Sun in Antarctica. It should have been the moment the theory died. Instead, it revealed something much deeper (and darker) about the human mind.

Why do we cling to conspiracy theories even when the evidence is staring us right in the face?
We dive deep into the psychology of "sticky priors" and identity politics to understand why facts often fail to change minds. From failed laser tests to the "mental gymnastics" used to explain away gravity, we examine how the Flat Earth community uses distrust of authority to build a fortress around their beliefs—one tougher than any imaginary Ice Wall.

Are these just harmless internet theories, or does this denial of science reveal a growing crisis in how we perceive reality?

🎧 Press play to find out why the earth might be round, but the logic is definitely flat.

Topics Covered: The Final Experiment, Antarctica, The Ice Wall, Cognitive Dissonance, Conspiracy Psychology, Debunking Pseudoscience, The Midnight Sun, Trust in Science.
