  That&apos;s funny, someone went &quot; it&apos;s probably just a void &quot; everyone freaked out and made this shit up, we investigated and it was just a void.

  Modern people are delucional AF too.<br>There is so much information at the reach of anyone. So much information, opinions, facts, disinformation, deception, truth.<br>At some point we can&apos;t see the truth anymore.<br>We trust to the media, not because we necessarily believe it but because we just submit to it and feel less stressed about what happens around us.

  When asked questions about the advantage of living in ANY era versus our current one, I do rather like to remind myself how fun climate controlled buildings are.

  My challenge keeps being that I watch and listen so engrossed....and then walk away thinking about what I&apos;ve just heard and how it filters into my own world-views that it&apos;s not until later I realize i walked away totally forgetting to &quot;LIKE&quot; the videos...So I just wanted to say to you that if you see very few likes...it&apos;s not because it wasn&apos;t enjoyable or informative...you have us thinking and reflecting harder than we realized.

  The Truman show is my favorite movie and I’m so surprised I’ve never noticed the similarities to the divine comedy, wow

  The weird part is that the medieval cosmology was relatively enlightened compared to what people tended to assume before. &nbsp;To the Romans, the Mediterranean is the center of everything, and of course Italy is the center of that, and Rome the center of that. &nbsp;And in the Egyptian world, basically all that exists is the Nile, and everything else is a meaningless desert. &nbsp;Their idea of paradise was just an ideal version of where they already lived. &nbsp;Non-centric, infinitely mutable reality was practically unimaginable even to philosophers.

  It&apos;s funny how the philosophers of the time of monarchies decided that the entire universe is basically one gigantic caste system predetermined from birth. Philosophy has always been used to justify make sense of the power structures people lived in at the time they became aware of such things or just a used as pawn of the powerful in this case to keep the peasantry in line.

  I can understand their thinking back then. Germs that they can&apos;t even see but people become afflicted seemingly suddenly out of nowhere even while still doing your daily routine.<br><br>We have many of people now despite what we know is still somehow confused and blaming all sorts of reasons even today..

  What a find your channel turned out to be... I wish you all the success a smart, educational YouTube channel can possibly have - which is admittedly not much, come to think of it, so I wish you so much more!
