YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/user/TheMorgile/videosSome biographical information from the notes I took while listening to John Le Bon's Round Table on July 29th, 2015: fsr.boards.net/post/1357/threadHis top 5 most viewed videos (in a descending order by views on 20150729): FLAT EARTH - The Nazis of NASA and the Infinite Plane163,986 views 2 months ago 100% Irrefutable PROOF - The *GLOBE* is a *HOAX* !!!147,950 views 2 months ago Flat Earth FOR DUMMIES40,644 views 2 months ago The "END" of the "WORLD" ~ The "GLOBE" is being "CRUSHED"!16,122 views 1 month ago Whatever Happened to EDEN ???12,691 views 2 months ago Judging by his one-hour-long main flat earth video, FLAT EARTH - The Nazis of NASA and the Infinite Plane - YouTube, which is very dense in content and provides good references and images, he is a Christian (strong evidence starting at minute 30 of his video), not an historical revisionst (evidence at the start, first 10 minutes, and at minute 30:19, the way he uses "Nazi NASA"), and anti-Dubay (minute 27). His documentary is in the Mark Sargent style, but the images are even more related to what he is reading. So potentially he is the new Mark Sargent. Original content, concise presentations, pleasant voice. Here's when he got banned at IFERS by Eric Dubay: ifers.boards.net/post/6866/threadifers.boards.net/post/6891/threadWhat is striking about him is that he has 4,000 subscribers, which is quite a bit, but no one ever talks about him as a name in flat earth. Maybe he is solitary and a lone wolf, and does not like to interact with other flat earthers. What is even more striking is that he is probably the second flat earther by views for his videos, after Eric Dubay. 4,000 subscribers do not explain why he gets so many views on his videos, and so quickly. He is probably very good at promoting them and posting them in the right networks. In just 2 months he has beaten Mark Sargent by views, and is close to Eric Dubay, who started much earlier than him. And yet, whereas everyone is always talking about Eric Dubay and Mark Sargent, no one ever talks about TheMorgile. This is very odd, that he gets all these views on his videos, and no one talks about it (and viceversa):

This is his latest video, over 1,000 views in less than 24 hours:
Flat Earth is NOT a Psy Op ( ! )
It is very intense in the content it offers, and it is being very successful, but I find it very annoying, too. I was wrong. He is not as pleasant as Mark Sargent, in his delivery.

They always provide good biographical information in the first few minutes of these John Le Bon shows: Ball Earth Skeptic Roundtable | Episode #8 TheMorgile (29-Jul-2015)John le Bon minute 2-3 They say his name is Jonathan. minute 5 Jonathan provides some autobiographical information. He was born in Virginia, in 1981. Then, as a child, he moved with his family to Florida due to his father's job. Then went back to Virginia for college. Now he lives in South Carolina. minutes 9-10 On why they are lying to us about the shape of the earth. By what he says he is a Christian minute 11 on his regular 9 to 5 job in marketing - oh, that's why he's so good at getting all those views, even before he had any subscribers. I had always wondered how he did that. I mean, until 2 months ago, he had only uploaded 9 videos on his YouTube channel, with practically no views, and then he immediately got thousands of views on his first flat earth video -- this is unmatched by any other flat earther, including Mark Sargent (whose rise to fame was even faster, but not in terms of views on his videos, more details on this comparison can be found at the bottom of this post):

Audio book by this tireless researcher: Zetetic Atronomy ~ Earth NOT a Globe (Section1-001) TheMorgile He really surprised me. I didn't think he would be so hard-working. Well, the reaction from the flat earthers has been just the opposite, and, on average, they unsubscribed from his channel, rather than subscribing to it, which is the norm for his channel and for all flat earth channels: I congratulate myself, once again, on leaving this community, this time because, instead of rewarding him for recording an audio book, they punished him. I guess audio-books are boring to them, and hard work does not mean anything overall. No wonder I've been insulted by the very people whom I've helped the most. No shit... TheMorgile in the last 12 hours lost 24 subscribers instead of gaining 50, which he usually does in this time period. A net loss of 74 subscribers. This is huge, and this loss has been ongoing for days. Why? Did he kill someone? Was he caught stealing? Nope. He recorded an audio book for flat earthers, by reading "Zetetic Astronomy, Earth Not A Globe" out loud: it probably took him days of work to do the whole thing. Why did he do it, despite the sacrifice it cost him? Our of generosity to flat earthers. But flat earthers don't take generosity too well. You're lucky if you don't get insulted. Once again, this is the flat earth community, where the most popular YouTuber is still Eric Dubay, that is to say someone who goes around plagiarizing and defaming everyone (often the same people he plagiarizes are the ones he defames), and treats his fans like shit. Trust me when I tell you that it is better to be alone than with the average flat earther. Flat earthers are actually worse than the average human, and worse than the average "sheeple", too. So, yes, this statement means that there is a category that is neither "flat earther" nor "sheeple", otherwise the average "sheeple" would not be worse than the average human. But such category is not the truthers either. It is a group of sensitive people who share my values: sense of justice, politeness, sensitivity and respect for all humans, animals, and minorities, generosity, collaboration, tolerance, intelligence, deep thinking, contempt for superficiality. Impossible to find such people among the average flat earthers.

TheMorgile has recovered from recording a flat earth audio book (flat earthers are so sick that he experienced a wave of un-subscriptions after doing it). He is now firmly in ninth place of the top ten flat earth YouTubers.
Flat Earth in 15 Minutes or Less Natural observations and logical extraploations. TheMorgile
In fact is is odd that Dubay did not become unpopular for actually writing a book on flat earth, given how flat earthers are.

As you can see from the image above attached, in just a few hours, TheMorgile will re-enter the top ten of flat earth YouTubers (by subscribers). And dmurphy25, will go out of it. Unexplainably dmurphy25 has a huge number of subscribers. He has only uploaded 50 videos or so. Not that many, considering his almost 8,000 subscribers. He has not even been active for months. It's only fair that TheMorgile passes him and replaces him in tenth place.

Patricia Steere w/The Morgile. #26. Flat Earth & Other Hot Potatoes Flat Earth and other hot potatoesOK, this is going to be interesting, because TheMorgile is the brains of flat earthers in my opinion, together with waykiwayki (who unfortunately lately has been doing stupid comedy videos that are not funny) and Patricia Steere is the time-waster and most superficial flat earth YouTuber. Let's see if she uses some of her brains, given her guest. At minute 20, I have to say that they have been interacting extremely well. She asks superficial questions, and he replies to them extremely deeply, with great orderly and concise information, bringing up all the most important minds. He has a very sharp mind. I am a bit resentful that he never joined one of "acenci's shill forums", and yet he joined Eric Dubay's IFERS (only to be banned within a few posts, on 20150513). With a guy as sharp as TheMorgile, we can all be more confident about the earth being flat (since he believes it is). He is the flat earther who adds the least non-related concepts to flat earth. No religion, no historical revisionism, no veganism... just flat earth. Mark Sargent adds the "dome builders", Patricia Steere adds the bullshit. TheMorgile is pure thinking, pure reasoning, no bullshit.

Acenci et al,
Agreed. TheMorgile does seem to understand the scientific method at least. And he does seem very rational and logical in his approach. However, disproving the convex globe-earth model does not in itself constitute proving the flat-earth model. Additionally, something that the flat-earth community seems either incapable or unwilling to do is to actually DEFINE what their flat-earth model looks like. By default everyone assumes that it is a flat disk in two dimensional Euclidean space. This is incorrect, and it has been proven incorrect not just by myself. The earth is flat, yes. But it is not a disk.
Time will tell and we'll see whether most flat-earthers can think their way outside of the box that they find themselves in. Hopefully they will find the scientific method their friend rather than their foe.

They won't likely go much further, not as far as you go with your research (I can't follow you either, because it takes too much work). Not these flat earthers we know. They were able to reach some good documented conclusions and then they started joking around. You know: Mark Sargent and Patricia Steere are discussing anything except flat earth now, another two or three are writing rap songs on flat earth, waykiwayki is making flat earth comedy videos... all the smartest brains are busy with useless activities.
Not one of them has thought of compiling a document that addresses all the details of flat earth theory.
Maybe waykiwayki is the one who went closest to it. Also John le Bon was doing good shows, one with all the most famous flat earthers, that addressed many points of the flat earth theory.
No one is doing anything scientific any longer.
We don't have any flat earth scientists to take us as far as you want them to go.
Also, another problem of the flat earth community is that 50% of the researchers are using their religious beliefs as part of their "scientific method". I don't think it should be done.
Giving me the bible quotes in favor of flat earth is as valid as giving me the NASA quotes in favor of spherical earth, and yet half of flat earth researchers do this all the time.

Thank you for your observations. Allow me to add a couple of comments. You said:
How true! I just came across this quote by the late Steve Jobs. "People say you have to have a lot of passion for what you're doing, and it is totally true. And the reason is because it is so hard that if you don't any rational person would give up."
In my opinion, most flat-earthers just go for the low-hanging fruit. How many times have you heard about the line of sight of ships, and the eight inches drop per mile squared, and the flat line of the horizon already? Countless times. Move on already, and do something constructive with your life.
But how often do you hear flat-earthers talk about the Germans proving that light bends way back in the 1930s, Cyrus Teed and his rectilineator, or even the Tamarack Mines experiment?
Now there is a novel idea. That would be a much better idea for a book than Doo-bay's repetitive, unorganized excuse of a book to make money.
I have a Master's degree in Theology, and can read biblical Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic. Plus I was a pastor for a number of years. Yet I have not once used a bible reference in support of geocentricity, the flat or concave earth. Faith has to do with belief. The word believe means to accept something as true without critical examination. Science comes from the Latin word 'to know.' If you know then you don't need to believe. Yes, the bible has a lot of truth in it--but by and large most people do not understand it, nor know of its provenance. So I generally do not discuss it and the flat earth together.
Also thanks for recommending those other flat-earthers. I'll have to check them out when I have time.
Cheers!

I don't read the bible myself as I don't consider myself a christian. Nor do I believe the bible books were meant to be read in the ways it is read today as I think a lot is allegorical. Although, I may believe the story of Christ says something about reality.
I think that physicalism/materialism and naturalism are also beliefs as they look to me to be more like unproven paradigms that are believed to be true and then facts and data are compiled to reinforce the belief. And anomalies are ignored. And those who don't ignore the anomalies may be socially ostracized along with possible negative financial fallout for studying or noticing the anomalies of their metaphysical boundaries.
And religion, in general, has more to do with the sense of the numinous then simply belief. Some say religions are the cultural constructs of the experience and sense of the numinous. But according to scientism, since science studies physicalism, and physicalism is science, and the philosophy of science is reality, God or the spiritual/religious is unreality. And so, the anomalies of scientism are ignored or ridiculed because they contradict their idea of reality.
If God is real, and known in the heart, as many in history have said, then the religious believers do know something about reality. If this experience and knowledge of the numinous is real, then many materialists may lack knowledge about reality.

Unfortunately too many people in the world want that numinous feeling from religion. You taught me a new word today. "A numen 1. was in Roman times a local divinity or presiding spirit, 2. is an indwelling force or quality that animates or guides. Thus numinous is evoking awe or reverence, as the presence of something holy or divine. Irrational, mysterious, inscrutable." That is religion to a tee. I was brought up in Catholicism, and no wonder fell easy prey to Christianity.
But at the other end of the spectrum is a scientism which, as you say, refuses to look at anomalies to its system of beliefs.
I totally agree that physicalism/materialism and naturalism are also beliefs or belief systems (B.S. for an abbreviation), as much as religion(s) are B.S. About a half dozen years ago I started awakening more to the "anomalies" of Scientism's rigid belief system. I would say that scientism is exclusive materialism, and by definition it can't or won't accept anything outside of an experimental/observable reality. One aspect of the dictionary definition of scientism is "uncritical or unsuitable application of scientific concepts or terms."
One of the best books that helped me to understand the "anomalies" (read paranormal) of the materialistic world was Michael Talbot's book, The Holographic Universe. Since then I have progressed to studies of consciousness. Curiously the scientific world is only as of late admitting to a connection, i.e. in quantum mechanics.
This is the 64-million dollar question. Is God real. I seriously doubt that you can explain the order of the geo-verse without Him. Yet, how is he known in the heart? Not as the bible tells us about a literary creation named Jesus. Perhaps the gnostics, shamans, druids, tokers, etc. know more about God through their mystical experiences than most Christians unless they experience the meditation of deep prayer? The Dead Sea Scrolls' scholar, the late John M. Allegro, documents this in his book, The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross. I think any numinous experience is real and will help you understand God.
Another good book which explains this is David Mathisen's book, The Undying Stars. In that book he talks about the near death experiences that the Pharoah's would undergo, and the term for the realm of the beyond he gives is "the implicate order." I'm sure we have much to learn from the Ancients!

I was saying the sense of the numinous creates the religion using cultural constructs. People name it God, etcetera. The experience or sense of what is holy and beyond themselves but connected to it as well. This is where it becomes more than their rational thoughts and so the knowledge is mysterious but understood in terms of love, compassion, connectedness, maybe some mean this when they talk about their higher self and possibly more than simply these things. I don't agree with universalism where it doesn't take into account human tribal/group feelings and preference for the particular. I get creeped out by universalism("we're all one") because it doesn't take into account how humans are hard wired to behave tribally, plus it sounds like one world govt. But the numinous will be what we think of as being higher, noble etc.
A long time ago I read Michael Talbot's book, The Holographic Universe. I enjoyed it but I actually don't read much books even though I have spent much time reading. I will take a look at David Mathisen's, the undying stars, I'm not sure I have heard of it.
A couple years ago I found some philosophical trend called panpsychism. It made me think some physicalists may be moving in that direction. One reason is that panpsychism allows humans to have a real mind that is not an illusion. The way materialist and atheists have been going, well, the mind has become an illusion. It's been a while since reading those debates though. I think it's amazing to be so dedicated to a belief system where your own mind is illusory. I think panpsychism was trying to solve that. I am just speaking from memory on a debate I was only observing.
I have heard of the mushrooms and christ idea I don't think I read anything. Although, I have read some about shamanism and I guess I could see how the cross could be interpreted as shamanic.

Oh, yes, good point. I forgot to post it here. I had posted it on the "flat earth humor" thread, so let me post it here again, from: fsr.boards.net/thread/68/flat-earth-humor?page=3&scrollTo=3392Actually I changed my mind about this video on TheMorgile. If he needs money, he should be allowed to ask for it and to get it, without criticism. One thing is to correctly criticize Jeranism, for raising money for a balloon he never launched, as pointed out by FakeSpaceman. Another thing is to blame someone... for simply not having money. By the same rationale, I will keep blaming every flat earther for being the rude people that they are, but I won't blame them for not changing things they can't change, such as sexual orientation, race, accent, IQ, and even culture, which to a large extent is inherited from our parents, background and upbringing. I will thumb up / down future YouTube videos according to this methodology. We should be for meritocracy and not for... aristocracy. In fact this reminds me that I blamed some Australians for their accents. That was a mistake, too.

Best flat earth chat is back: This Week In Flat Earth: 11-29-15 Episode 5 Flat Earth ConspiracyEven more interesting this time, as TheMorgile is in it. Oh, and also Lawrence Wright, who is a famous speaker on the subject of Chemtrails and The Flat Earth: Why is this show better for example than flat earth and other hot potatoes? 1) it is more serious 2) less flirting 3) less joking 4) more flat earth 5) more intelligence 6) deeper questions 7) less interruptions 8) less useless smiling 9) less irrelevant topics such as: mandela effect, people's cats, size of people's heads, feet, etcetera minute 56 "Jonathan, why do you think they invented the globe?" asks Lawrence Wright to TheMorgile. Beautiful question and beautifully answered by TheMorgile. Great grasp of history, great balance, great synthesis of what we know.

Flat Earth Watergate: Is There A Psyop Brewing? Flat Earth ConspiracyIf The Morgile was put in a situation where he had to make out with dudes, he wouldn't do it. I think he said he would do it for 20 million dollars, and I would, too. Well, one more reason to say that this flat earth show is the best by far. Are Steere and Sargent ever going to tell us such important information about themselves? Hell no -- they don't even tell us why they are doing the masonic hand signs. By the way, I downloaded all of Zetetic Astronomy, the audio book made by TheMorgile, and I've been listening to the first few videos (converted in mp3s), on my mp3 player. Great job by TheMorgile. I could even stomach his voice, which is in fact very clear. --- Holy cow, heathen, I am listening to it now, and you missed their "shill list" (they call them "distractions") at minute 5, a list which even includes Stars Are Souls, to my surprise. minute 11 "...or somebody has helped you from the outside" (or something). She says people are either put there by the people or by the powers that be. Little problem there. She says this, and then she puts someone like Eric Dubay on her shill list, someone who, despite being a paranoid asshole, has been working at this for almost 10 years, and who just a year ago had only 3,000 subscribers, whose accounts, for his controversial ideas, were terminated on Facebook, and even by Proboards. I am saying that he's clearly not a shill. He may be an asshole, but clearly not a shill.

I don't blame you. They can be quite boring and repetitive. We could work out a deal, whereby you listen to the second half and I listen to the first half.
Maybe one day we should do our own show, "The Flat Earth Critics" or "The Flat Earth Intellectuals": the only problem is that they'd be making fun of my accent, and also that someone would certainly recognize me and I'd be quite embarrassed. Maybe it's not a good idea. I think about it from time to time, but, with my foreign accent, it's not a good idea.
