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?

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

"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.

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.
