I don't have as much skepticism of NASA as you do, mainly because I do agree with the last part of your post. And that part really renders the physical reality of the globe pretty moot.

What matters is human experience. Sharing your stories and learning from others. Knowedge. Understanding. Connection.

Just like what we're doing here on Steemit.

I've said this on another platform, but I'll say it here too, and I'll probably write an article about it someday.

We are all just filters. Humans, animals, plants, all forms of life. We take the abundant bits of light beamed to us miraculously by the sun, and we transform and remake that energy, by our intention and action, in whatever way we see fit.

Whether we make something beautiful, inspiring and full of love -- or something ugly, violent and tainted by hatred -- that's up to us.
