And, of course, the 30040 event contains the information you need to generate an eBook with the ePub, Kindle, or PDF formats.
So, you can use Nostr to publish books formatted in Asciidoc or Markdown.
what is the best client in your opinion right now for making events that use markdown that can link into this thing?
when i said i want to put the texts in, i was serious
i bought these books from Amazon, and frankly some of them are so bad my inner typographer and editor wanted to scream
notably, the copy of Timaeus and Critias that i got (Plato), was so so so bad... but The Book of Jubilees was also quite bad
so anyway, as you know i type quite fast and i think it would be fun to an hour or two a day properly transcribing, correcting and formatting texts, a chapter at a time or so, with all the nice numbers and paragraphing and all that, proper titles, etc
i don't think that many people have been exposed to these old texts and they say some things that are quite ... interesting... especially Enoch
What's the best version of Enoch rn?
idk, i have a book with three:
The Book of Enoch (Ethiopian Orthodox)
The Book of Secrets of Enoch
The Hebrew Book of Enoch
btw the reason why it's not in the canon is because it says that angels bred with humans, implying that angels were some kind of human
even though it clearly also says that in the canonical Genesis and several other places, and these angels appear all the way through the Old Testament and many times again in the New Testament - and even versions of such more recent incidents are recounted in the Qur'an - the teller of the stories is claimed to be Gabriel, the angel who told Mary she would have a child, and in the Qur'an it is said that he "blew something up her dress" causing it... implying that Jesus might be the product of artificial insemination and the source was angel DNA... (and probably the son of the leader of the angels)
so, it's very heretical of me to say these things but just read enoch and then come back to thinking about this
btw, learning this made me change my mind about Jesus
up until i learned about this stuff i was inclined to believe that Jesus was just a story composite of many people, one of them being part of the theme of the movie Life of Brian - a jewish revolutionary who very nearly managed to kick the romans out of palestine around the time of Jesus
but now, i think that the whole death and resurrection thing is real, or more exactly, when he was 12, as it says, he was sent off to train, and then after his training was done, in his early thirties, he starts his ministry to fulfill the prophecy, they nail him up, he does this whole next level yoga thing, appears to be dead for 3 days, and then disappears from the tomb, visits his buddies, and then the angels come pick him up with their tractor beam and they fly back home
and so on and so forth... i have no idea, honestly but it's plausible enough for me to entertain it, and i'm almost certain something along these lines is happening, and all the signs about the impending natural disaster coming up in the next decades suggests to me that it would be a good time to do it - if it is, according to the angelic science, like many of the prophecies say, gonna be a "earth set on fire" situation and almost everything ded... then it makes sense why to come back, and also why to be selective about who gets evacuated
in enoch, one of the angels, with the title Head of Days expresses regret about letting a certain individual onto the Ark as well... and it makes reference to the fact the man had red hair and pale skin, and even mentions that his pubic and armpit hair is orange
It's very funny (and scary tbh) that this makes more sense than most interpretations. The whole "taking it literally" thing is mind blowing.
Noah literally building a bad ass ark and riding it on the most insane storm.
Maria birthing a son of angels that does space-travel.
Freakin' legendary.
yeah man, it's hard to exactly put it all together, i'd love to just spend 3 months with a collection of writings and trace out the common threads and discern an overarching timeline that pins everything together
the way that the orthodoxy did not want the people to know about enoch is quite concerning, to me, because it is probably the case that the orthodoxy was infiltrated by those fallen angels
i mean, this is just the stuff that is slowly leaking out because of people conserving the old texts, first enoch from the ethiopians, and then they turned up in some obscure places in eastern europe (the slavonic version) and then the dead sea scrolls included several versions and fragments of enoch as well, all lining up with the same ...
and we know that they almost certainly have all of it in the vaults of the vatican library
