Great advice man 👍

I just want to note a few things. Firstly, there is no reason to believe (or at least none provided in the video) that a round earth inherently means meaninglessless. As a Christian it makes sense to have a heliocentric solar system because we revolve around God (the Son is the light of the world) not the other way around. That random American you played who said Christianity is debunked if the earth is round has no clue what he is on about. Christianity does not rely on these cosmologies to survive. It is a higher truth. Throughout the medieval ages Christians mostly believed in a flat earth - that didn't undermine their faith either. Second point. Round earth and the idea of the planets being moving mass is not a 'recent invention'. The Ancient Greeks proposed a round earth, and such has been the common belief at least since the fall of Rome. It's not something the modern West (or the people with the power to create a matrix) have invented.

Hey Tyler, I have watched a few of your videos here and hit the like for the algorithm. One of the videos I watched was first principles and I want to discuss the earth being round vs a flat plain as I think It can be figured out using just basic logic.. Now clearly you are an intelligent person and I like to think of myself as reasonably smart so I hope this can be a discussion in good faith. My proposition would be this.. If Gravity exists then all objects with enough mass such as the moon, earth and the sun will be spherical as a result of the nature of gravity. I think we can agree that on earth whether it is flat or round things fall down towards the floor/ground. It was of course Isacc Newton, who I consider to be an actual genius, who posed this question. Why do things fall towards the earth? To contextualize why this question is relevant I would propose a fairly simple thought experiment. Let us imagine that you and I are in an infinite black void with no stars or atmosphere or anything to draw a reference from.. Which direction is up? You might say above our heads is up and below our feet is down.. But we can easily rotate ourselves 180’ so now have up and down swapped places or are we upside down? In Fact we can not know our orientation without any references and so all directions become the same and irrelevant because we could fall in any direction and it would make no difference, nor is there a reason why any direction would be more probable. On earth however things fall towards the ground almost as if something some force some cause some reason, is pre determining direction.. So much so that we who live on earth have a concrete idea of up and down and of things falling down, we call this gravity. Now we know gravity acts the same generally wherever you are on earth. So some force pulls things down to the ground equally.. If a force operates equally in all directions.. I would argue that inevitably it will create spheres. I am not sure who the guy is on the clip you showed, but I am suspicious of any one who straw mans an argument.. His statement “ we are on a ball spinning out of control in a black void.” That is his interpretation of something he seems not to understand or is purposefully being disingenuous.. If you are going to try to disseminate someone's argument you should at least conceptually understand their argument? We are spinning on a ball not very fast, 1 rotation in 24 hours. We are part of a solar system orbiting a star we call the sun at a pretty precise rate of 1 orbit every 3651/4 days. It all in fact spins in an incredibly consistent and controlled manner so much so we can make very accurate predictions of future events.. Such as day night cycles, moon cycles, planetary transitions when and where we will see constellations, tides.. The list goes on. Our star is in a galaxy of stars which also spin in a very controlled manner.. Now I am not saying all of this is necessarily true but to turn that into, we are in a black void spinning out of control is a complete misrepresentation, no one thinks that except people arguing for flat earth. Moreover, to suggest that ignoring observable evidence in favour of a story which makes a book you believe in more relevant well that's just the epitome of a bad argument and I would argue that if you think we have to be able to understand God's universe? Well you really don't understand God. I think this is proven by his simplified understanding of “above” like God is above us means he has to be physically above us in the sky. Does he? Above could be dimensionally, frequency, consciously, metaphysically, outside of the universe.. And he probably is all of these and more.. The idea that because Australia is in the southern hemisphere and we have time zones so how can god be above people in both hemispheres is kindergarten level analysis.. So god can’t be in multiple places at once .. Is he not omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent? Our infinitesimally small ideas of up and down and this and that are of zero relevance to a god being of god consciousness. If anything this idea of earth being the center of anything is a little bit egotistical on our parts and makes us far less special. So if we are in a solar system on a planet in a galaxy.. That means we are one in approximately 200 billion stars in the milky way galaxy and the milky way is one of approximately 2 trillion galaxies and yet amongst those astronomical probabilities we exist here on earth which makes us insanely special. It also makes other sentient beings that may or may not exist on other planets insanely special just based on pure probability and it makes God's creation far more mystical and immense than we can conceive..

Brother, I admire your courage and determination to seek and find answers. I hope this part of your journey is interesting and rewarding to you. Your own story arc will be the most interesting one of them all.

So how are you feeling now?

I agree with the idea of narratives (stories) being used to instill beliefs and pride. Let’s not forget that the landings were during the Cold War and America had promised to have set foot on the moon by the end of the decade. However, the earth being flat isn’t something I find much truth in. Prioritizing how you sense the world and what you see over mere information is something that I too embrace. Experiencing rather than analyzing and following imposed narratives. On the other hand, it’s just that I myself have seen many things that contradict the idea of the earth being flat. Yes, it’s not a perfect globe- it’s a geoid (imperfect and bulged at the sides) but when you have seen it for yourself, it’s hard to believe anything different. I won’t pull out arguments and evidence- no intention to argue to the end of eternity. So, I understand what you think about the flat earth. Not going to call it names or whatever for the sake of not having people glance at me oddly. Great articulation- it’s often hard to describe to people ideas that society has made a force of habit to call ‘nonsense’ without any second thoughts.

Interesting! What is the explanation for the different time zones? Does the Earth still move around the Sun? Or how does it work?

“Space may be the final frontier, but it's made in a Hollywood basement” - the lyrics to Californiacation by RHCP take a new meaning after seeing this 🌶️🌏👩‍🚀

The main problem with the flat earth theory is that it is simply logistically impossible to maintain a secret so ubiquitous, especially when there are fields that rely on such fundamental physics. Lots of experiments prove that the Earth is round, the way planes fly proves it, there's a bridge in New York I think that famously accounts for the curvature of Earth in its design. And you know you can still believe in God without thinking the Earth is flat, right? You start with an idea that has the smallest amount of merit to it, but to justify its existence you just spiral further into insanity. Okay, so the Earth is flat. Why are the other planets not flat? Does gravity even exist? How do the satellites stay afloat? How does the Internet work? How do seasons work if the sun is so small and only exists for us? If so, how does heat work? You have to disregard literally all of physics to make this work. I haven't looked into the moon thing, it is quite weird that they destroyed the technology, but all other "evidence" is extremely circumstantial. Like why would Neil Armstrong swear on a Bible from some random attention-seeking asshole bothering him?

Conspiracy theory is just true crime for boys. It is a fantasy of powerlessness, a fantasy of being dominated and losing control. This is a fantasy of victimhood for many women, for men since that is unaccessible since we do that shit like k*dn*p someone walking their dog, who could dominate us? Oh the deep state or the reptoids or the international communist conspiracy or aliens. It is a gender coded expression, a eroticized feeling of a loss of control that we have to eroticize to live with because it is so destabilizing. And of course the conditions that create those kind of conditions are both generated by the same dynamic of social atomization, alienation etc. that we live through.

Lovely video. I can definitely buy that the moon landings could be fake and all the other things you said, aside from the flat earth. That doesn't make sense to me. I believe the earth, sun and moon are special and created by God. But I also believe God created the global earth. What about people who prove the curvature of the earth through simple means? Is every astronaut who saw the earth from space in on the conspiracy? I am open to the idea of flat earth though. Regardless, to me it doesn't matter too much. I just follow Jesus and the bible. Nice video though very curious to hear more about it.

I believe the formation or destruction of such beliefs stems from the unconscious enslavement of people by the current world order. People are kept stable with modern drugs, and this occasionally leads us into existential crises. Honestly, I don’t think our existence has any meaning. I know the world is round, and whether or not we’ve landed on the moon doesn’t matter to me at all. However, I’m certain that our days are being stolen from us and that the true meaning of happiness in this world-human relationships-has been completely severed under the guise of civilization. Even though it may all be meaningless, I exist, I heard you, and for that, I am grateful.

You never cease to tickle my brain, Tyler. Write a script about it! The idea's way more solid than any moon base script.

Yes, but Kubrick didn’t do it.

Seriously right about the moon landing. Wow. Lost me at the flat earth thing though 😂 I think the Bible specifically says otherwise.

When I lived in Texas (1980s) my car radio constantly played debates on whether "pre-tribulation" or "post-tribulation" rapture will occur. But I can see why people need to believe a Rapture will occur.

😮

The Universe is real. The Earth is a globe, not flat. Science. But, the moonlandings were fake. Politics.

i am admiring your mind

This podcast is an underrated gem among the noise

In my experience, astrology reflects the balance between internal and external conflicts: sidereal astrology highlights internal struggles, while tropical astrology focuses on external ones.

<3 I did some research on astrology too, but I still think it should not be taken too seriously. Astrology is Art. The circle of creativity: Art / Design / Engineering / Science. <3 I've got ♂ in ♏ and you might have ♂ in ♍. 8-) <3

Wonder why he has never written anything of substance himself and is just blabbing.

I like these new vids Tyler's been doing. Find myself connecting w/ them more & more recently.

Great podcast. Thank you!

A friend in NYC made my astrology chart in the 1970s. I framed it for the apartment but it seems to have been lost. If I can find it somewhere, I'll post it on my own YT Community page. I am Cancer (born July 10) and the friend said I had "Venus in Virgo".

Such an interesting and fun conversation to have! I never really believed in astrology until you gave me this detailed explanation. So articulated and engaging. Keep up Tyler 🫡

Here’s an explanation from Minute Physics that explains why you don’t see the eclipse every new moon. It’s a good question but the short answer is that the moon’s orbit is tilted. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHq9qqiOoZJsZ7csi=3lDymEWeTK_QPWml

What you’re describing is Astro-Theology. If you haven’t already… look up Santos Bonacci

That’s such an amazing explanation, sir. So many religious people for some reason think it’s evil to look at astrology but then of course they’re gonna say the sun and moon have an influence over us so this is a good way to approach it. Just found your channel and subbed keep up the good work! Also, thank you so much for explaining what Raju means I had no idea. This is absolutely stellar Work. Please give us more, lol. I wish the video would’ve been longer.

glad that the podcast is returning for a second season!

Those are really maxims, not rules. There's a lot of confusion arising from people bringing different understandings of "rule" into the discussion, and then talking across one another. For my part, though, I found many of the discussions of these maxims of storytelling to be problematic precisely because they are couched in terms that flatly ignore the philosophical content of the story, like it doesn't matter what you have to say; only how much money you'll make. 🤮 In reality, some maxims of storytelling will fit in well with the philosophical theme of your story, while others won't. The ones that do should be followed. The ones that don't can be safely ignored. Don't change your message just to tick another box on the storytelling maxims checklist.

Bruh.. mind blown open. Thank you.

God bless you

I’ve just stumbled upon your podcast and this episode quenched a longing within. A yearning for the sacredness of thoughts I wholly own. Individual thought takes effort and time, as you have expressed. Sometimes I find myself overly swayed by my peers, then I have to “reset” my mind to return to myself. I find it helps to have a varied social group, diverse sources of information, and plenty of time truly alone- away from phones and computers. Much love to my dear journals. I couldn’t survive without them. Well done on the podcast. May we all strive to hone our individual strengths and thoughts.

You are wise beyond your years. Great.

Really inspiring! So seldom spoken of in other writing pods. This is to the core.

5:45 Yeah this is what films are very good at

I could not agree with you more, Tyler. Growing up watching the Andy Griffith show, with Ron Howard as Opie ,is a great example of this. A master class in critical thinking and how to live life in a positive way. Always a moral example, I think I learned more about how to live a responsible life by watching that. Between that and the Addams family, I think I got out very well rounded education! Yes, stories have always been around and passed down, mainly because the storytellers wanted us to learn some thing and if we can do it in a fun way, well that makes the lesson easier. Thank you so much for your insights. You are so smart for your age. :)

❤❤❤❤ Wonderful Work Sir

This is a live coach of writing :)

Here before the blowup

Beautiful video. This gave me great clarity. Thank you Tyler.

Incredible. I had to subscribe.

This youtube feature of What Is The Writer's Mind with Tyler Mowery The Writer's Mind Podcast 001 has some emancipating discussions/examples. I also enjoy how he shares some writing ideas to help get the writing creative juices flowing.
