CT018 - The Day The Earth Fell Flat (Flat Earth Theory Pt. 1)

Episode 18 - Flat Earth Theory (Part 1) This is the theory to end all theories. Flat earth posits that our understanding of earth as a heliocentric globe is, at best, a misguided and faulty understanding of the physical nature of our world. At worst, a concerted effort to propagate a lie, contrary to our observation and perceptions of the world around us. In this first part of our three part series, it will be helpful to understand the history surrounding the modern origins of flat earth theory. Not just of those that developed and promoted the ideas, but of the current state of thinking contemporary at the time. The 19th century was a time of change, thought, new ideas, and reformations throughout much of the world. Ingrained  psychology plays it’s part as well, as usual in our discussions. Notably, the philosophical movements of the time paved the way for openness to new perceptions of reality and existence. www.conspiracytheoryology.com email - [email protected] Twitter - @TheoryologyPod Facebook - @TheoryologyPodcast Patreon - www.patreon.com/conspiracytheoryology Music is by adamhenrygarcia.bandcamp.com Links: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absurdism https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/have-you-ever-wondered/201503/the-blueblack-whitegold-dress-questioning-reality?amp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Earth#cite_note-144 https://theflatearthsociety.org/home/index.php/featured/Flat-Earth-Historical-Figures-People https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopian_socialism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Owen https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/compassion-matters/201601/can-you-trust-your-own-perceptions?amp http://www.sacred-texts.com/earth/za/ https://thecreative.cafe/the-paradox-of-absurdity-13543b76d0da
