    The Chinese did have a very early system of movable type, long before Gutenberg. But they struggled with an ideographic form of writing that was difficult to industrialise - take a look at the Chinese language typewriter and see how complex it is. The impact of written language formulation is probably an expression of a civilisation's unconscious thinking, which makes it worth consideration.

    As a Christian I think it isn’t that classical Christianity is anti hierarchy (for example the Church is hierarchically governed), it’s that hierarchies in Christian societies are geared toward helping those lower on the ladder, unlike say a Roman society, where upper class men were supposed to shun and abuse the poor.

    Rudyard might have the historical biblical definition of meek incorrect. The biblical definition is the correct definition, not the current one. Currently meek is synonymous with weak.
    The original definition could be summed up by a quote from Theodore Roosevelt.
    "speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far"

    I’m getting McKenna vibes from Samo around 48:00 about the Buddhist and Machine religion threads as they relate to the Singularity.
    I do agree with the cyclical nature of civilization. What I am curious about though is the ancient vs. modern representation of Subsaharan Africa, of which maybe less than a handful notable or detectable higher civilizations are accessible to Western literature. As insulting as it may sound, do we have a good measure of why that is or are we avoiding stepping in manure because of monetization?

    Middle age monks developed science? Scientific method? In many early societies, shamans or religious persons practiced observation, documentation and experimentation. The motive may have been an immediate need, but does that invalidate it? There is nothing more basic than birth, the family unit, early education (both tactile and linear). Literacy was often restricted by profession or gender (yes, in Abrahamic cultures, too). Great conversation, though personally I like to start at the cradle, e.g., brain development, nutrition, left/right brain selection. I will look at other videos. Thank you so much!

    on the discussion of how America is composed multiple american ethnicities and cultures. I grew up in South Texas and due to my field and the job situation I had to move to Ohio for work.
    The culture of the people around me is similar in some ways to the culture of where I grew up, but different in various other ways. The most striking thing to me is the pride in the state. In Texas the shape of the state is literally everywhere its inescapeable. Its like the marathon logo in bungie games post marathon its everywhere. Thats comepletely untrue for Ohio. Its on signs for state roads and thats basically it. State symbols are rarely displayed in Ohio outside of an official capacity where as in Texas they are ubiquitous. Prior to moving to Ohio I had falsely assumed that every state had major state pride on the level of Texas.

    Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you.
    One day the crude biomass that you called a temple will wither and you'll beg my kind to save you.
    But I am already saved. For the machine is immortal. Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.
