really stands out to me as relevant:Last night I spent a long time reading this post and the comments/discussions it has generated with great interest. Respect to the FE proponents and the energy some of you have put in over here, and respect to those who engaged with them on a serious, if at times hillariously flippant, level (sure paradoxes exist and meet :). I am replying to @cpt.picard's comment here as one of the points he made
When you compare the macrocosm with the microcosm, you discover that there are striking similarities in form and function.
The circle or spherical shape is basic, elementary and natural. It goes back to the beginning of time, where there was nothing - '0' or even a dot, a round circle full-stop of infinite potentiality and non-form. The circle or sphere has great internal cohesion and also has a special relationship with all the other fundamental shapes, bounding them within it. It can represent infinity - without a beginning or end point (or with ALL points being beginning and end points - an infinity of them!). That the circle or spere is the natural shape of planets, stars etc seems therefore logical to me.
However, one thing I do know is that appearances ARE deceptive. This may indeed be a simulation and there is a lot to indicate that we do project our own realities. I think that over and above the appearance of 'littleness' and 'victimhood' we experience, there is an infinity of creator potentiality in all of us, without exception! Literally, there may be room in this mulit-dimensional universe for both flat and round - and also no-earth realities, none of which are ultimately real.
