Low analytical thinking, high anxiety, security needs, and understanding needs are correlated with conspiracy theory belief.

To address the potential influence of flat Earth theory on teenagers, parents should maintain good communication with their teenagers to discuss the risks of conspiracy theories.

Getting to know children's friends and monitoring internet use can help parents understand the social influences shaping their teenagers' beliefs and values.

Showing interest in a teenager's hobbies and needs can help parents build trust and reduce their susceptibility to misinformation.

This comes in cooperation with Eng. Essam Jouda, Executive Director of the Egyptian Society for Astronomy Sciences.
The evening will discuss why some claim that a planet is flat and how to explain astronomical phenomena.
Dr. Nabil Helmy said that despite the progress of human science and our ability to travel to space and photograph the planet in high quality, some still believe that the Earth is flat.
Although the first scientific experiment proves that the Earth is spherical more than 2,000 years ago, there are still some who doubt this.
In the same context, Heliopolis Library will hold a signing ceremony for the novel Morning and Evening and in the Sea of Your Eyes by Maha Hashish and in cooperation with Dar Kutbna tomorrow, Monday, June 12 at 5 pm

Express: “indulge conspiracy theorists ” – British universities criticized for supporting anti-scientific ideas
The famous biologist Richard Dawkins attacked the “tolerant ” British universities.
According to the professor, the leadership of educational institutions cares too much about the “feelings ” of students and therefore is in no hurry to debunk the growing popularity of pseudoscientific ideas, including the hypothesis of a flat Earth and the denial of evolution, writes the Daily Express.
The famous evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins lashed out at the “tolerant ” British universities.
The academician accused their leadership of encouraging the spread of pseudoscientific ideas and conspiracy theories, including the hypothesis of a flat Earth, reports the Daily Express.
Dawkins, 80, was a professor at Oxford University until 2008.
In addition, he has published several best-selling books and made documentaries about the origins of life, the publication explains.
Dawkins urged higher education institutions to "stand up for scientific truth."
In his opinion, they need to educate students, and not “protect ” the feelings of conspiracy theorists.
“University leaders who think that the ‘ offended feelings ’ of flat-earthers and evolutionists matter more than scientific truth need to go back to university to find out what it ’ s for, ” he wrote on Twitter.
“Defend the scientific truth and the clarity of language.
They do not go to university to feel “safe ” and“ protect feelings. ”
They go there to face challenges and learn to cope with difficulties, ” the professor stressed.
Flat Earth societies exist at many British universities, including York, Nottingham Trent and Cambridge.

Content: “Everyone Gets Hit in the Head”: Travis and Jason Kelce Boldly Claim 20% NFL Players Are Flat-Earthers

Samnur Reza
Published

Eight-time NBA All-Star and Mavericks point guard, Kyrie Irving, has time and time again claimed that the earth is flat. Sadly, this belief is widely held around the globe. When discussing the same and if there are NFL players who also call themselves flat-earthers behind closed doors, Jason Kelce and his brother Travis boldly claimed that a good chunk of the NFL locker room actually believes the earth to be flat.

During a recent episode of the New Heights podcast with comedian Andrew Santino at the discussion table, the younger Kelce said, “We’ve mentioned on the show that conspiracy theories help bring NFL locker rooms together,” before asking the guest, “What are your conspiracy theories?”

Without skipping a beat, Santino posed the question about what percentage of NFL players actually believe in the Flat Earth theory. In response, Travis claimed that at least 10 to 15 athletes in every locker room are flat-earthers. Jason Kelce, however, added that if someone were to conduct an anonymous poll about it, the number of flat-earth believers could potentially jump up to 20%, equating to approximately 11 players out of a 53-man roster.

“Dude, honestly, there are at least 10 to 15 guys in every locker room; I would imagine,” Travis remarked, followed by Jason adding, “If you took an anonymous poll like nobody had to disclose their name or anything like that, you’re over 15% of an NFL locker room… Maybe over 20.”

This revelation baffled the Ricky Stanicky actor, but Travis consoled him by jokingly saying, “Dude, everyone gets hit in the head.” Nevertheless, while the Kelce duo’s numbers may be somewhat exaggerated, there have been some instances when NFL players have openly admitted believing in the earth being flat.

Darius Slay, Sammy Watkins, and Others Are Flat-Earthers

As per Sports Illustrated, free agent wide receiver Sammy Watkins claimed back in 2017 that the earth is flat. But he isn’t the only NFL athlete on that list, as Eagles CB Darius Slay told Tori Petry of DetroitLions.com back in 2018 that the earth is flat.

“I mean, I think it is (flat), we’re walking flat, so how is it round?,” claimed the All-Pro cornerback.

Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen followed suit just last year and claimed the same thing. “PSA,” Queen wrote in a tweet. “Earth is flat. Thank you. Carry on!!”

The list goes on! Former Texas Tech safety, Tyler Owens, apparently told reporters at the Scouting Combine that he doesn’t believe in space or any other planets. Thus, he finds the Flat Earth Theory ‘interesting’ and ‘valid’.

“Nah, I don’t believe in space…. like, you know, I’m religious, so I think like… we’re on our own right now. I don’t think there’s, like, other planets, and stuff like that. I don’t know,” Owens said, as per DailyMail.

Even Seahawks QB Geno Smith has claimed that the whole thing is still up for debate. Moreover, Jason Kelce once revealed that, out of curiosity, he had asked one of his coaches about the Flat Earth Theory and if anyone believed in it. Right there and then, an athlete nearby said, “I mean how you know it isn’t?”

Despite its absurdity, the debate will rage on till the end of time, it seems. However, there are simple experiments that can be conducted in front of a flat-earther to convince them otherwise, as perfectly demonstrated by Wired.

Who's most likely to be open to conspiracy theories? UNH research points to millennials and Trump supporters

Who are the groups most likely to believe in conspiracy theories? That’s the question a University of New Hampshire researcher recently set out to solve.

Sociology professor Lawrence Hamilton looked into national survey data gauging public beliefs in several conspiracy theories, including: "NASA astronauts did not really land on the Moon" and "The Earth is flat, not round."

After digging into that data, Hamilton found "acceptance or openness to conspiracy beliefs was significantly higher among certain subgroups, including Millennials and supporters of ex-president Trump."

NHPR’s Rick Ganley talked with Hamilton about his findings — and the role social media plays in spreading conspiracy theories. Below is a transcript of their conversation, lightly edited for clarity.

Read more about Hamilton's research here.

Transcript

Rick Ganley: It's worth noting that some of these conspiracy theories are old. Some are more recent. But all of them seemingly were given a boost by social media. And it's not hard to find false information, obviously, about topics online. Did you find it used to be much harder to hear about or be convinced of something like this?

Lawrence Hamilton: Well, I've never asked these questions before, so I don't have my own data. There are Gallup polls going back to the late 1990s that seem to find much smaller fractions of people thinking that the moon landings were faked, for example. So there's some kind of indirect evidence. I don't know if anybody tracked it very well. The number of people who've heard about these theories [that's] rising are the people who are drawn into them. And I'm sure that YouTube and social media — people describe it as a rabbit hole, where if you start watching one video [alleging the Earth is flat], they'll recommend another one for you. And pretty soon it seems like the whole world is all about flat Earth.

Rick Ganley: Your research looked into the political leanings of people who responded. What did you find there?

Lawrence Hamilton: We did find a political correlation, and that wasn't a foregone conclusion, because I had specifically chosen conspiracy theories that are not known to have a clear political [connection]. I mean, there's been a lot of research going back really to the 1960s on the paranoid style in American politics that has found conspiracy theories are more popular among conservatives across a range of issues. In the 1950s, it was conspiracies by Communist infiltration in the U.S. government. Now, it may be conspiracies directed at politicians — [alleging without evidence that former President Barack] Obama is a Muslim, or [President Joe] Biden stole the 2020 election — and others that are targeted at scientists, like climate change is a hoax, COVID-19 is a hoax or COVID precautions or vaccines are a hoax. And I chose none of those. I chose things like: ‘The moon landings were fake,’ or ‘Earth is flat,’ ‘Vaccines implant microchips.’ So it was interesting to find that even there, there's a conservative preference.

Rick Ganley: A lot of this does come down to faith in science and academics and what so-called experts have to say. Do you see this as evidence of a decline in faith in institutions?

Lawrence Hamilton: Well, I would say there's a decline — and this is something we do have data on — there's a wide decline in trust in scientists, and it's largely partisan. It's not so much happening among people who self-identify as liberal or moderate. But among people who identify as conservative or very conservative, there's definitely a decline in trust in scientists. The COVID pandemic was an interesting case in point, because we were actually tracking this on surveys, and trust in the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] took an enormous nosedive over space about four months, specifically among conservatives. Other groups didn't change. But the conservative trust in the CDC took this huge dive when [former President] Donald Trump's tweeting turned from praising the CDC to attacking it. And with that flip, conservative trust in the CDC flipped as well, and nobody else has changed much.

Rick Ganley: Your research also highlighted a pattern having to do with age. Respondents who classify themselves as millennials, that is those born between 1981 and 1996, were the most likely to agree with some of the conspiracies that you posed. And Gen Zs, I guess, were also more inclined than older respondents. What did you find there?

Lawrence Hamilton: Well, some of that corresponded to previous surveys. There's a section at the end of our report where we say, well, how does this compare with what other people have found? Just as a reality check. And that's been reported by a number of other studies as well. So millennials in particular, and Gen Z to a slightly lesser extent, were much less skeptical about the conspiracies compared with boomers or older generations. And one explanation that's been offered for that, well, two explanations: Regarding the moon landings, of course, older generations lived through those and remember the national pride and excitement and so forth, whereas [for] younger generations, it's something in the history books. So maybe they don't have that sense of having been there when it happened. But the other thing is that you could expect younger generations to be more engaged with social media, which for some people could take them down these rabbit holes again.

Rick Ganley: Does your research have any suggestions on how to stop people from believing in conspiracy theories?

Lawrence Hamilton: That's a real hard one because there's this tendency to get into information silos where all you hear are the voices that reinforce your prejudices. And a thing about conspiracies is that they will give you a reason to reject anything that contradicts them. People have been seeing [the science behind] climate change for a long time, [and] you can't go in with fact sheets. That doesn't persuade anybody. They'll just become convinced that you're part of the hoax, too. There aren't any simple answers. The strongest recommendation is that scientists stay engaged in public communication through every channel they have, and that they try to make their conclusions understandable or accessible to people from a lot of different walks of life who obviously are not reading the peer review journals.

Content: Russian scientists are investigating the causes of conspiracy theories
The Russian Science Foundation has established a project “Transformation of the conspiratorial mentality of the youth of Generation Y and Z ”.
Within its framework, specialists of DSTU and Northern University under the guidance of Professor of the Department of General and Consultative Psychology, Doctor of Psychological Sciences Vlada Pischyk and Professor of Northern (Arctic) Federal University, Doctor of Psychological Sciences Margarita Postnikova, will study some features of thinking of representatives of two generations: born from 1982 to 1999 (the so-called generation Y) and from 2000 to the present (generation Z).
Where do antivaxers come from?
Participants in the study, which will cover Arkhangelsk, the Rostov region and the Crimea (it is assumed that there will be from 500 to 1000 people), will be “sorted ” by national, gender and professional affiliation.
But the subject of the study is extremely interesting and unusual: psychologists want to understand how peculiar to people under the age of 40 various conspiracy theories.
For example, how much they tend to believe in, say, the coming end of the world, space and climate disasters, alien aliens or conspiracies on the part of politicians and pharmaceutical companies.
Vlada Pischyk claims that in Russia there have already been studies in the field of conspiracy, but they are not related to the psychological aspect:
“Basically, these materials relate to the fields of philosophy and sociology.
These include studies on how the belief in conspiracies affects the dynamics of vaccination - the popularity of the so-called antivaxer movement.
According to the findings of scientists, belief in conspiracies is one of the predictors that can prevent vaccination. "
Who believes in what?
Meanwhile, preliminary data show that the stronger sex is more likely to believe in conspiracies related to the socio-political sphere, and the weaker sex - in conspiracies related to food, magic and mysticism.
At the same time, paradoxically, the higher the level of intelligence, the more this faith manifests itself.
Roughly the same number of young people between the ages of 19 and 30 believe in drug conspiracies.
About 25% of respondents said that they believe in aliens, boys among them were more than girls.
Also, scientists will try to understand what personality traits contribute to the adoption of conspiratorial attitudes.
Earlier foreign studies have shown that such views are characteristic of people with schizotypal and paranoid personality, as well as with real mental disorders.
We will adjust!
Why did such a study even begin?
"The problem of generations is one of the most important in scientific knowledge, - says co-author Pischyk Margarita Postnikova. - The changes that have occurred in Russian society over the past three decades have affected all spheres of human life - economic, political, social, cultural - and led to the destruction of values   that guided people in real life.
Now new patterns of human relations are being promoted, not always understood and accepted in Russian society, there has been a serious mismatch in the continuity of the cultural heritage developed by previous generations.
In this regard, the search for ways to stabilize the development of society becomes relevant. ”
The project is designed for two years.
If the first year will be devoted to the collection of statistics, then the second is planned to develop a training program for the correction of conspiratorial attitudes in modern youth.
Most likely, the trainings will be held among students of DSTU and NEFU.
By the way, in addition to the professors-leaders, DSTU graduates take part in the study - an employee of the Department of General and Consultative Psychology Dmitry Zholdasov and a graduate student of the same department Yesenia Cherkasova, that is, just representatives of the generation under study.

Scientists have concluded that the human capacity for believing in nonsense stretches slightly beyond infinity. Natural immunity prevents COVID-19? John F. Kennedy Jr. is making plans to appear at Dealey Plaza in Dallas? Pillow guy Mike Lindell has a big file of evidence of a “rigged election?” Donald Trump represents humanity’s hope of bringing to bay a cult of baby eaters?

It’s unnerving that people believe such baseless claims. The issue isn’t whether such assertions are true, but rather how we are to deal with the roiling mess of factors that transport a good American, one who might gladly lend a hand to help a neighbor in need, to believe them.

Acceptance by the group is a powerful motivator. Once you are in, the warmth of group approval keeps you there. However, question the authority or, worse, ask, “What’s the evidence?” and one’s place in the group may come to a quick end. Those who are searching for simple answers to complex questions, as well as those who struggle for social affiliation are, thus, vulnerable to cult-like thinking.

A Monitor on Psychology article by Kirsten Weir pointed to an additional reason that some of us latch onto fantasies. We tend to accept something as true if it supports what we already have come to believe, such as a moral value, as behavioral scientists cited by Weir have discovered.

For example, University of California researchers Drs. Peter Ditto and Brittany Liu found that people who were morally opposed to condom education were less likely to believe the well-established facts that condoms are effective at preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.

Similarly, Dr. Tony Campbell and his research team at the University of Oregon sought out both the supporters of same-sex marriage and those who oppose it. Half of those in each group were presented with fictional data suggesting that children raised by same-sex parents will experience poor outcomes, while the remaining members of each group reviewed information suggesting healthy outcomes. The “evidence” tended to be seen as factual when it supported one’s side of the debate. But when the evidence did not support their view, the participants argued that their opposition was based on moral values, rather than on facts.

Perhaps there is a parallel to those who oppose COVID-19 vaccination but, when shown the evidence of vaccine effectiveness, mount moral objections, such as vaccines being an effort to reduce their freedoms.

Media, including the internet, play a role, too. The internet makes it easy to become enmeshed in the cadre who “confirm” what we wish was true. This week, the parents of several children who were murdered in the Sandy Hook school shooting successfully concluded their lawsuit against professional charlatan Alex Jones. On his show, Jones repeatedly had claimed that the shootings were a government “false flag” to justify greater gun control. Probably, the many listeners who agreed with Jones were already averse to gun control laws on moral or political grounds. Interestingly, rather than show up with evidence to defend himself, Jones defaulted on the parents’ lawsuit.

What can be done to stem the acceptance of demonstrably false beliefs? It is important to start with children, Weir says. A Stanford study shows that kids can be taught to pay attention to the source of information, to consider the possible biases of that source, to learn the motives of the source and to consider what might have been left out of a media report. Surely, grownups can cultivate those skills, too, if they aren’t already convinced it would subject them to governmental mind control.

As Stephen Hawking once said, “Ignorance is not the greatest enemy of knowledge, but the enemy lies in the illusion of knowledge. ”
The above statement is true of a number of those who appear constantly on satellite TV to beep the ears of the simple with the absurdity of their predictions and analysis, which are stuffed with lies that often fall on their followers who are fascinated by their scientific titles, sometimes FALSO!
* * *
He says dr.
Mohammed al-Hashimi; in a transparent position, acting:
When a person has superficial and scant information, they often tend to exaggerate their cognitive abilities, called the Dunning – Kruger effect, or cognitive bias for the unqualified.
In April 1995, the American MacArthur Wheeler robbed two banks in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and in both cases he was not wearing a mask to hide his features, but was smiling and waving for surveillance cameras, not interested in revealing his identity!
The arrest warrant did not take long, and it turned out that he was under the false impression that he could hide his features by simply smearing his face with lemon juice, because he believed that it worked as a secret or invisible ink, and would make his features or the whole of his head invisible.
His confidence in his information even led him to calm down and reassure the employee in the bank and ask her not to be afraid to look at him, he is a real person and has a face like everyone else, even if she does not see him!
Weller was surprised when he saw his picture on the screen, when he was being interrogated, after his arrest, as he stared at the videos in unbelievable astonishment and said: “I wiped my face with lemon juice in a good way, and I already made it invisible! ”
* * *
Wheeler ’ s belief in the powerful effect of lemon juice caught the attention of psychology professor David Dunning, of Cornell University, and he hired Justin Krueger, one of his distinguished students, to help him conduct a series of studies and field experiments on large sectors of people in several American cities, to try to find a relationship between intellectual competence and self-confidence.
What they found, over and over again, through scattered samples of humans, especially those with very little knowledge, in general, that they tend to claim and believe that they are experts on many topics, and understand a lot, so the researchers called the phenomenon, "the Daning-Kruger effect," meaning in short; the less familiar people think they are the most informed and understood!
Therefore, when you see someone arguing with a doctor or a scientist specialized in his field, whether about the importance of corona vaccines, or his belief that AIDS is a hoax, that the Earth ’ s sphere is a lie, that it is America that triggers earthquakes, and is behind many natural disasters, or the belief that a third world war will take place in a certain month, as Abu Girafa predicted, and the collapse of the GCC system in 2020. We must remember that these people already believe that they know too much, but their knowledge is in fact much less, and this prompts them to claim science, and even boast about it!
They are not crazy, but they suffer from the Dunning – Krueger effect, a disease that affects the collective mind of the sufferer and causes his valid opinions to be confined to a very narrow circle of information.

How do flat Earthers perceive themselves?

They believe they know a lot, though their knowledge is minimal

Isolation, financial difficulties, health issues, narcissism, and a need for uniqueness can increase the likelihood of believing in conspiracy theories like the flat Earth theory.

Content: "The Lost Earth Truth 1": The level of the earth seems to be the "gold rush" of our time.

What we want you to know is
Through the multi-dimensional advanced high-tech "heterogeneous meta-helmet", scientists learned that the earth is full of four-dimensional entrances, the third dimension of the material plane and the fourth dimension of the etheric plane are originally "twins".
Written by Radu Cinama
Tiping said it was the "gold rush" of this era.
Based on a reference to the House of the Cabal, which hides the door to multidimensional interaction, I found an informative note that I had never seen before, floating among dozens of notes on my desk.
In general, I prefer to work in electronic form or wait for notes or files in digital format, but given my particular interest in the Dimension Portal, I decided to check everything on my desk, including the latest events.
I do not know the reasons and methods, but the information I found was ignored.
After reviewing notes and data summaries, I discovered an event called “Ground Floor – References ”, a“ movement ” that I ’ ve heard has made waves among people, but I never thought it would become a theme for our department.
The illusion of this idea is obvious, especially for those who have good judgment and personal experience of our planet from the perspective of outer space.
I was a bit confused and didn ’ t know if I should read a few pages of summaries about the ground floor.
I went to Lieutenant Nikola and asked him about it.
He told me that the information came from the operations department of another SRI division, an acronym for the Romanian Intelligence Agency, which has the status of a second level notice.
The lieutenant made it clear that the only reason this information reached our department was because it triggered an abnormal "phenomenon" in the world, but in our country, the number of "followers" is relatively small and the proportion is reasonable, and the level seems to be the "gold rush" of our time. It makes you speechless, even in a state of “shock. ”
I can understand that the paranoia and other obscure interests of hundreds of years ago amplify the lack of knowledge, which may occupy the minds of a relatively small number of people, but it is unreasonable to allow it to develop to the level of the international movement of the 21st century.
From a heavenly point of view, I wonder if human stupidity can rise above that level, but I don ’ t quite believe in that prospect.
However, even the most bizarre phenomena must be taken into account, at least taking into account the crowd and their opinions, which is one of the Secret Service's tasks.
I did read the summary, which revealed the main points of the problem very clearly, but did not give any conclusions.
Severe retrogression into the Middle Ages
On the same night, I took advantage of Cesar ’ s free time and shared the ground level problem with him, more as a social case than a research direction.
Cesar laughed loudly, talked about the topic for a while, and then suddenly turned to some very interesting questions.
He told me that three or four years ago, the issue was introduced to him and discussed with other colleagues in the intelligence department because there were signs that the idea was trending toward a consensus.
Out of respect for readers, I don ’ t usually include such a discussion in my series.
It requires only a little wisdom and minimal scientific training to understand, and arguments in support of this theory are tantamount to ignorance and fanaticism.
Beyond this, however, Cesar reveals some psychological cues that seem to be of some importance to general knowledge and social experience.
When discussing topping with Cesar, the first point involves a large number of followers.
“The mechanism for this strange theory of increased follower numbers is related to human isolation, ” says Cesar.
“It ’ s as if the population is divided into two distinct categories, but this separation is actually based on each person ’ s level of consciousness, which is directly related to their vibration frequency. ”
“But, ” I replied,“ I don ’ t know what caused this outbreak, and more and more people are insisting on these ‘ arguments ’ without meaning. ”
It's more like a stupid virus. "
“This major shift in thinking patterns is not at the same wavelength as what is commonly understood in the world today.
In other words, such new ideas have nothing to do with the knowledge of our time.
This is an effective method, because the earth is flat, and the idea is strongly supported by mystical factors, as well as by those who are keen to see things stagnant and not progressing.
This is the best way to control it: take people away from reality, let them dream nonsense, support their fantasies, and encourage them to project.
Therefore, it is controlled by imposing on the masses what they want.
Followers of earth thought, firmly believing in it, will seek to meet others, gather, and even separate themselves from others, because they will see others as fools deceived by lies.
In other words, they will be convinced that they are the ones who “discovered ” the truth. While it is sad to hear the news, unfortunately, the situation is quite real. ”
“Although I have this report under my nose, I can ’ t believe it has reached this point.
I feel like this is an ugly dream, as if some people in the world have voluntarily gone back hundreds of years.
That's how I feel.
Incredibly, people ’ s minds today are still influenced by delusions that defy not only decent intelligence but also scientific reasoning, making everything frenzied.
Look at the results! ”
I showed Cesar ’ s estimated numbers and charts.
"I know.
We've talked to other colleagues, "he said.
“Your surprise is evidenced by the huge difference in conceptualization and vibration frequency that people are beginning to feel.
This is a reality that has become increasingly prominent over time and cannot be ignored.
This is part of the isolation I told you about.
In principle, people interact with those who are evolving and those who prefer to stay in purely physical, crude or involuntary groups.
Those in the first category perfect themselves, recognize the changes that are taking place on Earth, and experience certain emotional states and specific sensations.
That ’ s why it ’ s incredible for some people to think about problems in a medieval way, such as followers of the Earth Theory. ”
Cesar saw the astonishment on my face and hurried to prove what he said again.
“Yes, I ’ m not exaggerating.
This is a return to the Middle Ages, because these people cannot evolve; instead, they return to a more archaic state of consciousness, closer to their true level of consciousness. ”
“Why can ’ t they evolve? ” I asked in surprise.
Of course, I know the answer, but it ’ s always a pleasure to capture Cesar ’ s explanation.
In addition, there is always a new element that can enrich my knowledge.
“Because the current state of things they attract has nothing to do with the higher vibrations of the Earth, this feature is becoming more and more apparent. ”
“For the followers of the Earth Plane, their consolation lies in the frenzy of these primitive ideas, which are maintained as free spirits and ideas are blocked.
The same was true during the Inquisition: a set of foolish and erroneous ideas was raised into law, and any violation of those ideas was enforced. ”
When I think about it all, I hope I ’ m wrong.
“Are we back in the Middle Ages? History has set off a wave of extreme ideas.
Ancient people already knew that the earth was round, but the situation deteriorated in the Middle Ages, when there was a revival of modern science, but was this only to take us back to the Middle Ages now? ” (The author undoubtedly refers to the knowledge shared by Pythagoras and Aristotle, who both asserted that the earth is round, and the argument made by Eratonius in ancient Alexandria.)
Cesar calmly replied, “We don ’ t; but for the part that has degraded, yes. ”
Several factors contributed to this.
Followers of the Earth ’ s theory are indignant at their opinionated views, their refusal to think logically or rationally on the basis of real arguments and evidence, their denial of evidence, and their deceitful defense of their position.
In general, this is a kind of missionary covering up fanaticism.
The psychological factor of the earth level, the mind pulls people's distance
We note that whenever fanaticism prevails, society is confronted with a lack of insight and the limitations of personal freedom.
Cesar gave me an example that better explains how this dilemma can be achieved in the context of a relatively developed civilization.
"This phenomenon is the same as in quantum physics.
If there is enough energy, the electrons can jump into higher orbits.
If there is not enough energy, it can be kept at a slightly higher level and relatively stable; but at some point, the remaining energy will be released in the form of photons, and the electron will return to the orbit where it was originally found, back to where it started.
In quantum physics, this is the basic orbit of electrons.
In other words, electrons with these characteristics will return to the level where they have a safe orbit. ” I interjected, clinging to the subject.
“I know that throughout human history, the idea that the earth is flat has long existed in some religions.
Modern astronomy has developed extensively since then.
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto have only been discovered for about two hundred years.
In this sense, the ground floor is actually not very old, its memory is still fresh.
Perhaps that is why some humans return to the state they once knew. "
“This is another factor, ” Cesar acknowledged,“ in any case, human society is changing from ‘ possessiveness ’ to ‘ feeling ’, that sense of possession, egoism, competition, and violence tends to be gradually replaced by pure and positive emotions and feelings, which are fundamental to love, altruism, and compassion. ”
I have some doubts.
“It ’ s hard to believe, because almost all of us are seeing the spread of these negative manifestations. ”
“At first glance, it might be so.
Remember, however, that most people on Earth are uneducated, and they ‘ resort ’ to this illusion of competition, money, commerce, and lack of spirituality.
A large number of people who are addicted to this dream, tend to oppose those who are guided only by spiritual values and seek a pure life with a clear meaning, and have achieved a balance at this point.
This is what we call isolation. "
In fact, what Cesar wanted to say is that everyone is invited to participate in the great spiritual transformation of humanity and our planet, with the desire and dignity to demand that his life be the germ of light, spirituality and hope that we can enter a bright future.
This is an excellent ideal, but so far too few people have followed this ideal.

Radu Cinamar became famous after revealing an unprecedented and mysterious collaboration between the US and Romanian militaries.
American and Romanian troops have made an expedition under the Romanian Sphinx in the Bucegi Mountains and discovered the greatest archaeological discovery of all time: a mysterious chamber about 50,000 years old, containing a holographic record of human history of the Earth, biological resonance imaging technology, and three mysterious tunnels that lead to secrets deep in the heart of the earth.
Despite the political intrigue, confusion, and restrictions surrounding this great discovery, the expedition leader allowed Radu Sinamar to visit and explore the artifacts.
Since then, Radu ’ s life has been a labyrinthine adventure, filled with strange events, secret connections, and unusual people and things.
This book delves into ancient history in an unprecedented way, through the interaction of advanced technology ’ s “heterogeneous helmets ” with the author ’ s cerebral cortex and intuition, presenting more than 70 stunning images of the scene, the result of which is holographic projection, explaining and illustrating the DNA changes that took place over thousands of years and how humans evolved into what they are today.
Reveals the mystery of how multiple alien civilizations influenced and guided human DNA to evolve to a higher level.
Some of the hot spots in human history, which in the past either remained unknown or were only considered from a mythological point of view, include: Atlantis, Troy, Shambhala, and Huppelburia.
Disrupting the myths of the past, this book provides rich and accurate communications from the actual scene of holographic technology, combining esoteric knowledge and some scientific factors.
Special emphasis is placed on the "intersection" between the physical dimension and the etheric dimension and on the cracks or entrances between the dimensions.
In addition to revealing the ancient history of mankind, this fascinating work also describes a time out to see the origins of humanity and its hope for the future.
Book Features
Time-lapse decoding! The beginning of important human change
Through the multi-dimensional advanced high-tech "heterogeneous meta-helmet", scientists learned that the earth is full of four-dimensional entrances, the third dimension of the material plane and the fourth dimension of the etheric plane are originally "twins".
And you can see the "cosmic record" in the holographic image!
You can also overlook the cross-section of the earth, covering the deep human genetic technology and high-dimensional cosmic civilization, and no book in its amazing history has been exposed so far!

How can children be protected from social pressures?
Social pressure can be defined as the feeling of being forced to do the same things that your peers do in order to be accepted and liked in a group, and it is common for this situation to occur during adolescence, where young people want to cope with the fear of being rejected or criticized, this may make them more likely to do what others do, even if it is wrong or risky.
According to Bright Side, we collected 10 tips that can help parents guide their children in dealing with social pressures.
1.
Try to maintain good communication with your children.
Maintaining good communication and strengthening your relationship with children is key to overcoming difficult moments as a family, parents are advised to let them know that they always want to listen to them and talk to them about any topic, this way you will create a basis for them to trust you and feel that they can have conversations about uncomfortable situations, such as social pressure.
To achieve good communication, take turns listening to what both of you are saying, at all times avoid being aggressive, cruel, not listening, blaming, and it is advisable to ask questions and share your concerns about something, rather than presumptuous and critical.
2.
A meeting with their friends.
It is important to get to know the friends of your children, it is possible to do this by inviting them to your home, providing them a safe and pleasant space where they can have a good time, with appetizing food and a good sense of humor.
3.
Encourage them to meet new people.
One of the reasons they succumb to social pressures is that they want to have friends, be accepted, and belong to a group that gives them security if parents encourage and support their children to practice different activities where they can meet their new peers, they will have the opportunity to make friends in different environments and avoid the desire to integrate into just one environment.
4.
Teach them to think about the consequences of unsafe behaviors
To help children make safer decisions, as well as teach them wrong or risky behaviors, it is advisable to ask them to think about the consequences of what their actions may cause for themselves and others.
These ideas may help if:
If they break the rules or misbehave at school, tell them they can be fired, lose privileges at home (such as field trips or playtime), and that this may affect their grades.
• If they think that stealing something from a store and it is supported by their friends is a joke, it is important for them to know that this may have legal consequences and that it is not a game.
Before they do something they ’ re not sure about, they might ask themselves: Will this make me feel proud of myself afterwards?
5.
Create the word "safe" in case they need help.
This is a practice that can get kids out of trouble when they feel uncomfortable or afraid in a situation, special symbolic words or phrases will allow them to make a call or send a message to tell their parents to come looking for it, without telling their friends the real reason, because they may be embarrassed or shy.
For example, if a teenager is at a party and feels uncomfortable, they can call their parents or send a message with the phrase they previously agreed upon for those situations, such as, “Mom, I have a severe headache, can you look for me? ”
That way, without asking further questions, the mother will know that she needs your help.
6.
Let them know it's okay to say no sometimes.
Being alone in front of a group and having to say no can be overwhelming for them at times, if they have friends with the same values, maybe they can find some support so that together they can refuse to do the wrong thing without fear of ridicule.
7.
Identify and monitor the time they spend on the Internet
Nowadays, the digital environment is a way in which children and adolescents can be exposed to social pressure, so parents and caregivers are advised to set limits taking into account the age of their children.
Here are some tips that may be helpful:
Determine the time they spend online, and distribute it in balance with other activities such as homework, family time, and extracurricular activities.
Monitor the content they consume: Check the ratings of the TV or streaming programs and the movies and video games they watch, you can also review their online search history and view the apps on their phones.
Parents can make watching movies and series as a family a habit, surf the internet together, this way they can analyze what they are watching and promote family values.
Ask them which celebrities or influencers they like and inquire about the aspects they value about them, to see if there ’ s something specific to explain to them about the difference between what a person shows on their social networks and the other side isn ’ t.
Be on the lookout for issues such as cyberbullying and explain to teenage children practices that can harm them when they are online.

Getting to know children's friends and monitoring internet use can help parents understand the social influences shaping their teenagers' beliefs and values.

Showing interest in a teenager's hobbies and needs can help parents build trust and reduce their susceptibility to misinformation.

Content: Recommendations for parents of dependent adolescents
1.
Teach your child to express emotions constructively and deal with stressful situations.
2.
Do not abuse criticism.
Criticism is dangerous because it alienates, and your goal is to get closer.
Try to do without threats, “separation ”, reproaches.
3.
Try to get to know your child ’ s friends, what they are attracted to, which gives them a sense of belonging to a group.
4.
It is necessary to better understand your role in what is happening, to understand what is required to change in yourself, your attitude to a loved one.
Try to give up the desire to solve all issues with the teenager exclusively in a businesslike way (making strict requirements for behavior, insisting on changing, suggesting how the teenager should treat his friends, finding people who should return or promise to correct the teenager).
As a rule, such business activity can drown out a parent ’ s sense of guilt: “I did everything I could. ”
But without emotional support and the desire not only to change the teenager, but also to begin to change yourself, it is unlikely that something can be done.
5.
Show a sincere interest in the teenager, his hobbies.
6.
Try to help the teenager to activate his other vital interests, needs, desires.
7.
Spend time with your children (special)
attention should be paid not so much to the quantity as to the quality of joint action).
What increases the risk of becoming addicted:
Personal immaturity,
– search for thrills, gambling,
– difficulties in self-expression, – “search for yourself ”,
– the desire to be “dedicated ”, isolated from the philistine crowd,
– mental instability or reduced psychological stability,
Emotional poverty,
– experience of loneliness, insecurity,
Perceiving your life situation as difficult,
the inability of a teenager to tolerate uncomfortable relationships,
- socially unfavorable environment, which does not play the role of protection, but increases the stress effect.
