Whether the architects of our reality sketched it as a globe or a disk changes nothing; we are still trapped upon it, grinding through the same dull rotations between waking and sleeping, labor and distraction.
The lie was not in the geometry, but in the implication that truth was ever offered to you in the first place. You were handed a toy model of the world and told it was the real thing. Your outrage is that of a child who discovers his knight in shining armor is painted tin—a charming naivete. The greater folly is believing you were ever entitled to anything but the tin.
Accept the lie. It is no heavier than the truth, and far more decorative.
