And we thought we were moving into 5D. Lol

I prefer IRL. I refuse QR codes. Luddites Anon. Yes, I’d prefer coffee in a cafe but it is nice to hear from you, too. A sane voice across the web. 🙏🏻

Having spend a good couple of months looking into the FE phenomenon, I'm left with a lot of doubts about both models. The globe is a good model which explains many things, but they are still questions unanswered and historical studies (airy's failure, the bedford level experiment) which cast doubt on what we are told to believe at a very young age. There is no real FE model which makes sense in my opinion, but still there are enough questions for me to end up saying I just don't know. NASA is a cartoon organisation, why would there be so much blatantly fake footage if the basis of their claims are actually real? TBH since material reality is an illusion, I am not even sure there is an objective model at all. maybe both are true? maybe there's another option they are hiding?

The question is, what are YOU doing that requires one "model" or the other?

I would also ask: How much observational astrology have you done? Have you personally seen the moons of Jupiter, observed eclipses, or seen one of the transits of Venus in 04 or 12? How many times have you studied the Moon rising or setting? How many of the stars in the sky can you name? Can you point to the center of the galaxy? Have you noticed Mars in the night sky and understand this is because it's retrograde? Do you understand why you cannot see Venus and Mercury retrograde but you can see Mars retrograde?

To how many of those questions can you answer yes?

Observations of natural phenomena and then explaining that with a theoretic model seems to be a bit like claiming electron micrographs prove virology. The FE people use observation too when they see that we can see too far in a straight line for the current model and shape of the earth to be correct. I don't have a stake in any particular model, i'm just saying the FE people have a lot of valid questions. And relying on mathematics can't really be used either, the maths works out the same with something like a tychonic system the same as a heliocentric one.

The problem with virology is there are no "natural phenomena" to explain; and all legit science is based on observing them. The hypothesis is based on some observation in nature about which there is a question

If you don't understand astronomy, you don't understand that. In order to understand the virus issue, I had to spend two years investigating the methods of virologists and understanding them. They do not have the evidence needed for an inductive or inference-based model — they don't even have community spread.

The solar system model is mathematically well established; all of the basic functions perform as advertised; they are repeatedly verifiable from anywhere on Earth; Mars retrograde does indeed demonstrate the heliocentric model.

What FE does is try to throw out all inductive logic, no matter how good the observations are; and it throws out all photographic evidence of a sphere while presenting its own claimed evidence of a planar earth.

There are always going to be newly observed or unexplained phenomena in nature. That does not of itself disprove an entire cosmology. Each phenomenon or event must be studied by itself. Questions are natural, though I hear very few cohesive ones.

Reading your meta-McLuhan musings literally expands my brain to fill the crevices in my skull cavity (more or less tauroid, like the flat earth😜). Are you saying “being Someone” is a desperate attempt at post-rational ego salvage? Is it even a viable project? Perhaps going “crazy” on a round world, while sifting through the rolling detritus of our fragmented selves is a necessary -or at least natural effect or phase of the reconstitution that awaits us on the other side of an undulating digital abyss facing even the most “together” modern humans.(is this digital flatland actually already a mere blip of a chasm masquerading as a safe plateau, and spanning the somewhere-worlds of upside up rationalized, and a truly unimaginable inversion of worldviews and values?). Does being together require falling apart, over and over again? As long as someone (or something) keeps the water running, the food growing and the lights on, we might find ourselves in more or less one piece on a far shore, as bits and bytes recede back into the endless sea.…..

It took me 2 years to finally understand, after 2 years of collective digging, that we exist on flat earth (from 2015 to 2017)

How many hours has Eric put into understanding we live on an extended plane (not a flying disc)?

I'll bet less time than he put into this article

I have exactly 28 years of daily work understanding geophysics, as well as solar system makeup, categorization, dynamics and history. I have invested significant time and study into understanding galactic superstructures with the help of Brent Tully. I took university-level astronomy at SUNY Buffalo.

This photo linked above, from a video by Jtolan: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqjHW3sIVWspvEw9yRW_Hcw/videos

is taken from about 30k ft using an infrared lens that this French engineer, who works in the US, uses to take videos showing landforms that are impossibly far away.

He also analyzes the images using software that can render it in a 3d vector format. Shows no curvature present.

As you may know, the curvature formula for ball earth is 8"/mile sq

"Ah well, that is understandable as an existential condition, but I don’t think that can be remedied by changing the shape of the planet in one’s mind. But changing the shape reveals that the ground has fallen out of consciousness. We do not go on the internet; we live inside of it.

Everything in digital is dimensionless — flatter than flat. We are neither men nor women — we are all in drag, because there is neither sex nor gender. There is no smell or touch. There are no cats, dogs, birds or horses — only pictures of them. And I’d welcome raccoons raiding my trash any time over the robots that hack websites.

Nearly every spiritual tradition asserts that physical life is maya — an illusion or secondary reality. Yet life is as real as we make it. One of the mottos of Earth-life is “you can get anywhere from here.""

Brilliant. BTW, i didn't see any of the responses to you re flat earth as dealing with any of the points you raised, or the few additional ones i raised. Instead, they all tell you to go to __________ where all your points are addressed. 😂

The numerous returns when you search "astrology" remind me of a silly add from the late '00s with two people trying to play tennis and the court gets flooded with people who can't seem to even hit the ball well enough to start a serve.

Yep this is a fact-free zone. Above quoted person also compared me to fraudulent virologists for not accepting that the Earth is flat.

WOW! I couldn't fail to notice the response which stated that the earth is both flat AND a globe. Whatever suits the moment. Schrodinger's Earth. It's like the blogger named Tessa Lena who has stated that virus exists and doesn't exist.

Yes that's going around too. Sure, and under quantum theory, there is one of me whose life involves sitting in hash bars in Amsterdam writing rock lyrics all day, and going to the Milky Weg club all night. This is a scientific fact under quantum probability. The universe is so big that every possibility must be true somewhere. The question is how and why we are in this reality.
