    Third-Person Perceptions and Calls for Censorship of Flat Earth Videos on YouTube

    https://doi.org/10.17645/mac.v8i2.2853

      La Materia della Divina Commedia di Dante Alighieri Dichiarata in VI Tavole, 1872. By Michelangelo Caetani, Monte Cassino Abbey. The diagram depicts across six tables: The conical structure of Hell (Inferno), descending in nine concentric circles toward Satan at the centre of the Earth The terraces of Purgatory, rising as a mountain on the opposite side of the globe The concentric celestial spheres of Paradise (Paradiso), ascending through the planetary heavens to the Empyrean The moral and theological categories of souls assigned to each level Precise spatial and numerical relationships reflecting Dante's Scholastic cosmology https://pdimagearchive.org/images/710def6c-ff0f-49d6-9c77-dbded91bbc13/

        The bookends of time

        Nothing lasts forever: not humanity, not Earth, not the Universe. But finitude confers an indelible meaning to our lives

        From the British Museum: Title-page to Hobbes's 'Leviathan' (London: Andrew Cooke, 1651): an allegory of governance and the nature of civil and ecclesiastical authority. A crowned man whose body is made of numerous human bodies, emerges from a mountain at the foot of which is a city, holding a sword in his right hand and a crozier in in left hand; below is the title inscribed on a tapestry and surrounded by ten framed allegories: castle, crown, cannon, military trophies, battle on the left, church, bishop mitre, thunder, inscribed trident and forks, and assembly of magistrates;. 1651 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leviathan_(Hobbes_book)#/media/File:Leviathan_frontispiece_cropped_British_Museum.jpg https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/3207
