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

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

I remember a legislative hearing where the congress discussed the need for YouTube to censor all content that questions the veracity of heliocentrism and space programs. Perhaps this paper is following that trend?

    A revolution in time

    Once local and irregular, time-keeping became universal and linear in 311 BCE. History would never be the same again

    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

      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
