United Zetetic
« on: January 05, 2012, 01:15:59 PM »
I'm gathering interest on contributors (of both content and otherwise) for the new news site.  Is anyone here interested that hasn't already contacted me?

On a side note, I think I finally have the frontpage settled.  Any thoughts or tweaks anyone can think of:

The fonts will likely be substituted, they are there mainly to show the font heirarchy.  Likewise for the logo font, though I'm not sure I'm happy with the split baselines on the logo.  Also not quite sure the featured area gets enough attention with that sidebar.

Excellent.  We'll likely spread that content out over time, assuming of course its of decent quality.  Thanks Tom.

Great, I also have some others interested in helping as well.  I am concerned about Jurrasic Ark, but the rest of those seem great.  Thanks!

I'm looking at about 15-30 days for a soft launch and then a hard launch with press releases after that.  This delay is to give me some time to write up some additional code.

What a wonderful site

I think font wise you are fine. The Logo portrays quite a professional outlook.

John, I can't remember if I've asked this before or not, but in terms of articles what kind of word length are you looking for?

We'll have areas for all lengths of articles.  Blogs, Full length, and little news blurbs.  The content is more important than the length, to me.  Write what you need to.


I'm reinvisioning some of what the UZ is going to do as well as getting ready to contact Daniel concerning some mutual matters concerning it.  I'll keep folks more up to do and a progress meter should be up sometime this week with milestones.

In which format should we submit our work to you?  Would you like us to include pictures, text formatting, etc., or would you like simply the printed texts?

Well, to begin with feel free to take my Discourse on the Zetetic Method and use it as you wish. It's fairly substantial in length, and is both academic and provocative enough to merit publication. I may also write some small pieces on the practice of oneiromancy, and, if I get the time, a larger piece on Zetetic Phenomenology (though I will probably not have time to begin writing that for at least a month).

A new site (United Zetetic) requires a new approach, otherwise it will be the same business as usual (in spite of the interesting articles proposed here by various members).


UA acceleration cannot be used to explain anything on a flat earth; the same goes for the infinite earth hypothesis.

The sun does rise and set, and satellites do exist.


Gravity (both terrestrial and planetary) on a flat earth cannot be explained outside of or without the ether/aether theories:

As an example of this new approach, the photoelectric suspension "theory" should be replaced immediately by the Biefeld-Brown effect (the correct physical description on how the planets/stars orbit above the flat Earth):

The main concern of the news source will be zeteticism rather than flat earth theory.  There will be a specific and prominent section for articles  (and another section for academic papers) on flat earth theory.

I would like to contribute with writings on the relationship between Zeteticism and the Tao. 

Once Daniel responds back to you on this, it will be interesting to hear how and where it will fit into TFES.
