Destiny Reminds Us What Round Earth Belief Causes Us To Forget...

That humanity is about to change completely. [b]That something like the Traveler changing life as we know it, [i]is possible[/i][/b]. Any day, the limited view of reality that science imposes upon those that believe in it, could be shattered by the unthinkable. Just as the Traveler visited earth, and completely rewrote everything humanity thought it knew, our world is on the verge of of something entirely new. Bungie powerfully captured this sense of impending wonder in the way it showed us the aftermath of a humanity that had been completely changed by the unexpected. When the Traveler spawned the golden age, humanity was completely transformed. The rise of the internet and the unlimited exchange of information represents one of the key transformations of humanity in the past several thousand years. Knowledge is no longer "trapped" in the intellectual box that science created for it. [b]Round Earth belief and theories are quickly fading as more and more observational knowledge of reality is shared across the internet. The facts supporting the Flat Earth are "simple" compared to the self absorbed scientific definitions regurgitated by centuries of worn use; but they are simple in a way that is powerful like the pure white orb that changed humanity in the game we all love. As more and more begin to open their minds and trust their senses, the more they will understand that a round spinning ball moving through space at 67,000mph cannot support life. Many will continue to share and refine these basic facts, and as they do the medieval thinking of ball "science" will seem less possible to the individuals composing society. Humanity's understanding of reality is about to be changed in ways it could never imagine, and it will begin to properly comprehend the actual shape not only of the Flat Earth, but reality as well. [/b] JUST LIKE THE TRAVELER, THE EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION IS RESHAPING HUMAN KNOWLEDGE FOR THE BETTER.

  • Using your senses alone as confirmation of any theory is pretty shoddy work. My eyesight is terrible, I can't make out any detail outside of 4 metres away. It doesn't mean I believe that objects materialise out of thin air whenever I get within 4 metres of it. People with colour blindness see things slightly differently than people without. There are types of flavours that people experience vastly different from other people. My point is senses are fallible. Deciding something as a universal truth based on how you perceive it is wildly irresponsible. Science on the other hand, solves this by eliminating individual results. A theory doesn't become fact until after intensive observation, rigorous experimentation, diligent analysis of experiment results, and extensive peer review. This does not leave room for personal opinions or ideologies or nuances between different peoples senses. Sensually, your universal truth will not be the same as anothers universal truth. Scientifically, a universal truth is observable by one person, through mathematics, exactly the same way as observable by another. Which is more reliable?
