@bonifartius @genmaicha @niclas and Jung has interesting stuff on archetypes and symbology, more psychological than structural though

Rene Girard, "things hidden since the foundation of the world" is very good

maybe theres someone versed in history and linguistics here:

is anyone aware of research to reconstruct/validate mythology using neighboring mythologies by representing them as ontologies like "persephone is the daughter of zeus and demeter" and searching for similar logical patterns?

to give an example, the similarity of some of the norse gods and the roman and greek gods is accepted. i wonder if there might be other hidden similarities to be found by comparing those things systematically. the _concepts_ these mythological systems had might be much more old than either of those specific myths. i'd venture that at least for the larger language families there should be similarities and basic concepts to view the world. would be pretty interesting to search for those concepts, not only discovering them by accident.

i have the feeling this is a rather low hanging fruit aside the leg work of doing the transfer of the source texts into a logical system. this must already have been done by someone :)

Muck Zuckerberg is actually a midwit.
He could be any of my idiot burner friends I lost.
He's not intelligent, he doesn't actually know much, he may have read books, but didn't understand them, he's not a child of wonder that is forever questioning the world.

He's flat out stupid.
This softy interview is only furthering my opinion that we are experiencing more incompetency, not malice in most cases.

And i wish joe treated this dick like he treats his ACTUAL friend alex jones
