What would Christopher Hitchens say about the resurgence of the Flat Earth movement? In this satirical reimagining, Hitchens unleashes his trademark wit on one of the most absurd revivals of pseudoscience in the modern age.
From his imagined vantage point, Hitchens dismantles the conspiracy thinking and anti-intellectualism that fuel Flat Earth beliefs, skewering the influencers who profit from gullibility while mocking the cult-like devotion of their followers. He reminds us how fragile progress becomes when reason is abandoned and superstition takes its place.
Join us as we explore how Hitchens’ unapologetic defence of science and rational inquiry might respond to the bizarre resurgence of Flat Earth ideology.
