Up and Down Sequence:
"As taught in the late twentieth century geometry commences with plane geometry. This is because geometry was conceived and methodically formulated in history during the early times when humanity envisioned the world as a mountained and valleyed island floating upon an infinitely deep watery plane which extended laterally in all horizontal directions to infinity. Above everywhere was the sky. But the experience of remotely converging lines of perspective suggested reflexively to man that an optical aberration existed whereby, though you could not see that far, all the upward bound parallel lines perpendicular to Earth must ultimately converge, as do all parallels, receding from where one stands.
“The parallel up lines were assumed to converge in Heaven-- a haven-- a sky harbor. Until the twentieth century humanity, all those separate individuals within their respective life-times, each saw less than a millionth of the total surface of our spherical space vehicle Earth. All the foregoing conceptioning is so logical that, despite theoretical knowledge to the contrary and their quick denial of such misconceptions, approximately all humans as yet ‘see’ the world in that image.”
