Can one image change your life?
It is the type of question everyone has a different answer
for.
But let me ask you this: has the image below changed your life?
Consider, for a moment, what the image at right truly
represents to you as an individual. What do you think of the moment you see
it? How many different emotional buttons
does it push? How many times a week do
you think you see an image very similar to this one, represented in logos and advertisements and entertainment, etc.?
The globe symbol, arguably, is the most powerful piece of iconography
in our world today. It is universal and,
by and large, agreed upon by every relevant nation of the known earth as a
representation of reality.
The problem is… none of us can say if the earth as a ball
iconography has “changed” our lives… because we have no recollection of our
lives without it. From our earliest memories,
the ball is present…. via children’s books and cartoons… and then in the
classroom on an endless loop. By the time we reach adulthood, the ball earth model
has been shown to us and validated thousands of times; so much so that it never
really occurs to us to stop and actually ask if it is REAL.
Except some people DID stop and ask.
And their asking spread to others.
From that initial seed, tens of thousands (if not hundreds
of thousands) of people across the world are asking the same question: Is the
earth flat?
One image CAN turn the tide.
It could be YOUR image.
There is no telling what the human mind will respond to… and
for this reason, it is imperative that EVERY single flat earther produce
content. It could be YOUR voice that resonates—your particular vision… that
singular style which only you possess—that causes another human being to snap
out of the delusion pseudo science has worked so very hard to charm them with.
Can a single image change your life?
Absolutely. Without question.
And the next flat earth image (or song, or poem, or letter, or sign...) YOU create could make the
difference for someone else.
Participate. Create. And may the FEPE be with you.
