I was soooooooooooo intrigued with the whole flat earth thing too!
not so much that i believed the earth was flat - just - like you, that it makes you wonder what is true, and what is perception, and what is taught over and over again to the point that we don't doubt it.
we stop questioning.
i'm a firm believer in questioning things - even things that we have held for our lifetimes. there is no harm in questioning! the truth should be able to stand firm under the most direct scrutiny!
but i also think that there are things that we can get side-tracked with... that have little impact on our lives.
which category does flat earth fall into? hmmmm well. i think when you think of the shape of the earth - it doesn't matter too much unless your livelihood relies on the shape. math - calculactions - accuracy - all that.
I've seen some things that are very detailed in how BOTH theories could actually be equally believable. (but i've never researched either one to the point where I really care so much hehehehee)
FOR ME... and only for me - it's a matter of really wondering about IF there was a lie that was so pervasive and so deeply rooted in our society, that no one dared to question it - else they fall into the "oh you're one of them crazy folks" category hahahahahaha .... IF that existed to the point where people were AFRAID to question things....
THAT'S where the problem lies. and - i think it's safe to say that the government isn't always truthful to us. There are a lot of things that they hide after the fact in the heart of "protecting" us from the manic panic that will ensue if the truth was out there.
eh. i think what it comes down to is simple.
Research. Discover. Apply what matters to you. Let the rest fall away.
I loved this post @joelithic33 :)
Thank you Dreem! Great comment as always. It's great to hear that you are open to learning about different ideas of what our world may actually be. The people Monique has introduced me to through discord are very interesting and fun to listen to and talk to. Some intelligent deep thinkers.
very cool! i like people that think outside the box!!! :)
