Hollow Earth Audience Beiefs Values Needs Ridzky

Is there a hidden earth beneath our surface? According to Robert Sepehr, yes! It’s possible, because certain organism have bioluminescent. Bioluminescence is the ability of an organism to produce light.. This means that photosynthesis can occur even underground. Besides photosynthesis, there is also hydrothermal vents, which allows microorganism to use chemicals such as hydrogen sulphide, which then became their primary source of energy instead of light, as seen in the bottom floor of ocean, where creatures of various sizes exist. He also states many cultures have myths about the hollow earth, which means that hollow earth isn’t a new idea.
The primary strength of this argument is the use of scientific facts. The author uses the examples of light-generating creatures as well as the ecosystem in bottom floor ocean as proof that life can exist without sun. The problem is that it doesn’t address the counter arguments for hollow earth, being how can the surface of earth be supported if the earth is hollow?

This article is aimed for conspiracy theorists, people who believe all sorts of stuff such as flat earth, ancient aliens, and 9/11 conspiracy theories. At the core of these theories, is the “secret” concept, that the government is trying to hide the truth, and even this article dwells on that idea, since it mentions about Operation Highjump, which is largely classified and as such bound to produce conspiracy theories. They feel distrust for government, because they think the government is evil and is actually controlled by a few powerful elites so everyone lives are bound to miserable. These people also want to feel special, so they read and watch conspiracy documentaries and they decide to believe on those conspiracies so they are above the masses, also known as “the sheep”, and they don’t want to be “the sheep”, because according to them it means they are dumb. In conclusion, some people wants to feel superior to most people by knowing esoteric knowledge, as provided by this article and many others of this type.
