I Believe That The Earth May Actually Be Flat
I don't really believe the earth is flat but I had a philosophy professor that was the president of the local flat earthers.
He was one of the most popular professors at the university I went to. When you asked him what proof do you have, he would counter with show me your proof.
He and his wife had a campus radio show and he would talk and she would chant in the background "things like this, things like that, everyone knows the earth is flat". Nights there was a full moon they would go out and howl at it.
The point is and always would be to him is to question everything, nothing is ever happening to you exactly as it was before. That you should disregard everything learned from past experiences and live in the moment, that each situation is unique and deserves your attention.
Was he right? That's how I try to live.
