A Ph.D. case study on Flat Earth Anthropology FYTube

This is a re-edit of a video done by Rodrigo Ferrari-Nunes, Ph.D.. It involves a case study into understanding the flat Earth movement from an anthropological perspective. In the original version, I felt like Rodrigo sort of jumped around in a much more non-linear fashion than I typically prefer. So, I shortened it a bit and re-arranged a number of sections to make it play as a more linear production.

If you wish to see the original video, here is the link to it:
