Featured review
Too much hubris from the author
I just finished listening to Bart Sibrel being interviewed on the Joe Rogan Experience where he makes constant reference to this documentary "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon". A lot of the stuff covered in the podcast also was covered in this documentary or as I put it one man's personal opinion put on film.
I have no axe to grind either way but what I immediately got from the interview was Bart's inability to see alternative theories to his conspiracy ideas. The videos shot, the photos showing shadows of the astronauts on the moon, the Van Allen radiation belt and the challenges that presents to astronauts. Every one of his examples showing why he thinks we didn't land on the moon had plausible arguments as to why these were legit.
Mr Sibrel is so dogged in his assessment and so certain in his beliefs that it has clearly blinded him to seeing alternative reasons.
He would show film or photos of elements of the conspiracy and then spout off why this meant the moon landing was fake. However, when you looked at the footage or photos it was difficult to understand where he was coming from. Even JR's producer would chime in and go "well actually there could be other reasons why there are multiple shadows at different angles present on the moon such as..... but Bart wouldn't admit this. He would simply double down and talk over everyone. He is not open to other explanations at all. Some of his arguments just don't stack up. He interprets events as proof we didn't land on the moon when in actual fact there are reasonable explanations for his conspiracy theories.
The podcast and this documentary simply painted Bart as being full of hubris and arrogance with zero ability to see things from another perspective or admit that there could be plausible explanations for his conspiracy theories. His attitude is one of...." I am right about everything always and I am smarter than everyone else on". His views on inter dimensional beings (being a common explanation for aliens) from another "plane or dimension" appearing on earth tends to undermine his credibility simply because of how he verbally frames things. A man that isn't open to admitting he could be wrong about something and that he is 100% correct inevitably is found out to be mistaken. Noting is known for certain and nothing Bart presented convinced me 100% we didn't land on the moon.
There was a lot of hearsay and third party secrets which would never stack up in a court of law.
I would be more open to his ideas if he didn't try to overcompensate. As I see it there are three reasons for his overcompensation.
Firstly, a man who has spent most of his entire adult life with one belief system would find it incomprehensibly difficult to then change his mind and admit he was wrong (this is a natural human emotion called pride). As an aside to this, human psychology, as it is, means people tell themselves something long enough and they start to believe their own bullsh.t even if they're incorrect, simply because to suddenly change their mind would result in a catastrophic breakdown in their own self.
Secondly there is an economic benefit to stay on course.
Thirdly I believe this man has an axe to grind with NASA, the US Government and the CIA which has clouded his judgement.
Did we land on the moon? I am 80% convinced we did.
