Giant problems

 


Recently, I got sick and tired of this dude, but...I can´t help linking to this video. "Dan Dedunking" argues that the Smithsonian Institute did find giant skeletons, but subsequently covered them up for...racist reasons! In other words, Dan takes the Woke argument against Atlantis / alternative history ("they are objectively White supremacist") and uses it against the Woke establishment. There! Egg in face. 

For a similar perspective, see my old blog post below (unfortunately, the link to the "Incredible History" channel is dead).

I don´t know. I long suspected that the stories of Giants and Dwarfs might have *some* truth to them, so maybe somebody should try and locate those damn bones... 

A giant conspiracy?

Grounded

 


Ground sloths are scarier than Sasquatch! OK, maybe not, but apparently people all over the Americas keep seeing strange large & largely hairy beasts they assume are "ground sloths" (which have been extinct since circa 9000 BC). Or perhaps overhunted by our noble savage forebears? 

Speaking of bears...yes, people are either making shit up, or they are simply seeing ursids. The YouTube content-creator (who is really a skeptic) points out that there are trail cameras all over the United States "wilderness", yet no ground sloth has ever been caught on one.

Verdict: killed for food by the Natives over 10,000 years ago. "They are part of our stories". Well, how did they taste? I aint judgin´. 

No news

 


No news here, really, but when I continued discussing my religious speculations with the LLMs, this was their verdict.

ChatGPT: If I had to give your worldview a label, I might call it something like: A universalist emanationist panentheism with Neoplatonic metaphysics and devotional soteriology. Or, less technically: A Neoplatonic-Hindu-Buddhist synthesis.

Gemini: Your description is essentially Valentinian Gnosticism fused with Neoplatonic Cosmology and Eastern Karma/Reincarnation theory.

Both LLMs also pointed out the family likeness with Theosophy...

This is the world Protestants want

 


Another sad by-product of Nominalism and the Protestant Reformation. Or no?

Dark moon rising?

 


So I just learned that Earth has eighth "quasi-moons" and that China has sent a space probe to one of them. AAAAAARGH!!!
