I like imagining how many Genghis Khans there must've been before Genghis Khan. Their ancient way of living had to have survived from the very beginning, in roughly the same form. There's at least 20k years of lost history - that's the bare minimum. Every time the strong nomads found themselves surrounded by weak and stupid slave populations, they stopped their infighting and rampaged across Eurasia. It had to have happened over and over, considering how many civilizations disappeared, how much history is lost, and the simple fact that nomads still exist now. Persians, Greeks, and north Indians are all descendants of some nomadic progenitor culture that utterly wiped out the populations that previously existed there. The standard academic history says they were farmers displacing non-farmers, but that's obviously wrong - grain fed populations are too weak to kill off other grain fed populations, much less nomads. History's endless recurring wars that almost never moved borders attest to that. American history attests to it resoundingly - 5k Comanche warriors held the southwest against **_millions_** of grain fed settlers. The only real advantage the settlers had was that they could make guns, whereas the Comanches had to trade for their guns or steal them. And before that, it took about 250 years of coastal settlement before any European made it past the Appalachians, and then only because they had "gone native." French traders up the Mississippi were hardly French at all - they were only able to do that because they mixed and learned from the stronger natives. And the current relative weakness, both physically and mentally, of Americans is because of the government's decision to turn **_the entire_** Mississippi basin into a giant farm. But backing up a bit, those Comanches could have pulled a Genghis Khan if they had their own supply of horses and guns. I think history has a clear lesson : if you want to be in the "winning" group, don't eat carbs (sin is death! carbs are sin) and make sure you own and understand your own production.

after reading the book Hair of the Alien, in which it describes the results of using PCR on carefully treated samples of hair that were reported to have appeared - wrapped around a man's penis who claims to have been visited by two strange looking women, who seemed to be alien, but very close to human, one tall and blonde, with very fine hair, and another, shorter and quite dark skinned and somewhat asian looking, i just want to focus on the dark skinned one, but the "nordic" one, she had genetics which are found in the iberian/north african (berber) and irish (i think it was irish), but the other one had genes that matched most closely to modern mongolians.

in The Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya, he suggests that the pale, tall one was an atlantean, and the dark, shorter one, was a lemurian.

sorta makes a lot of sense now i think about it, with you bringing up the matter of Geghis Khan, that the mongolians are probably the remnant of the lemurians, whose domain was basically east asia, and that likely they appeared earlier than the atlanteans. this would be how the mongolians have their martial culture and ethics and why they were so successful at what they did.

there isn't as much said about either the lemurians or the atlanteans and war, because mostly it's lilly livered pacifists who are interested in them. but the war of the titans implies that very likely, they had a culture similar in principle to the original ideas of the founders of the USA, stipulating that everyone is responsible for security against incursions by enemies.

what i would just add to that, is that it's not just about ballistics and tactics, its' also about narratives, deception, i mean, look at what is happening now with russia. nato and ukraine started persecuting ethnic russians living in the east, on the borders with russia, and just like Genghis, the neighbours are getting hoity toity and think they can just run around ethnically cleansing russians. and then, they just keep on dragging it on, so russia is now in attrition warfare mode. at some point, it's going to become obvious that these spiteful little shits, who are just poking and poking and poking the bear, are gonna get the swatting of their lives.

but, i think the actual situation is that the chain of command goes from the shadows behind putin, and from his networks to brussels, and the whole EU project has all along been softening up europe in order to be able to do the ideal of Sun Tzu, to conquer an enemy with very little resources spent. at this point, they are in defensive mode, but in the shadows, they have been orchestrating the collapse of the european union, in order to claim all of europe as their domain.

i'm not saying that's good, because it's not. but it's incredible how easily europe was lulled into a pacific, disarmed sleep.

the same thing has been happening to the USA as well, and all of the commonwealth nations.

when i was in prison, a cellmate had an interesting book that had the thesis that in fact, since the beginning of WW1, it has in fact been a constant war.

i think that actually, it goes way way further back, tens of thousands of years, to that war in heaven/war of the titans, and we are now at last in the final act, with a tri-polar power structure just like Orwell described, and also, similarly, the contested zones between, most of africa, india, and west asia, are all and have been long battlegrounds between these three dynasties.

it is truly a blessing from God that our star is about to give them a good roasting. whether or not anything else happens, those who survive, will be able to possibly institute a more stable world order where every village is an army, and nobody tresspasses on anybody, without getting immediate retribution. those dynastic power families, playing chess in their vendettas with each other, don't have a guaranteed survival out of what's coming. they are decrepit, inbred and so complacent in their success at enslaving humanity, that more likely a dozen genghis khans appear and hunt every last one of them down and remove them from the face of the earth.

Man I hope so...

My main interest, though, is continuity of production after whatever reset event happens. Its wayyyyy too centralized now. Like, look at silicon chips - everyone is chasing the newest and smallest, but who's securing the old tech tech that maybe could be produced locally and would be necessary to rebuild if the main factories or foundries were taken out? Nobody... I don't need this spiffy phone with the nice touchscreen - what I couldn't live without is the ability to compute in less volume than a truck. Old tech, but its unreachable. If a major solar event happened today, we would have to redo the whole last century, at least.

just need all the necessary science and instructions for manufacturing the parts, starting from how to acquire the raw materials. that's out there, easy enough to find. this is something that i want to do, also, acquire such a library, ideally several copies of everything, stored in three separate locations.

also, physical objects that are critical to being able to do the math manually are critical. slide rules, abacus, and devices for writing and materials to write on. automation techniques for all of the steps should also be part of it, so you can scale up production faster.

idk how big such a library has to be, to get you to the point you can make a programmable calculator, but i would bet it's at least a meter thick of paper.

We need that, and we need to organize our tech into a system analogous to ecosystem trophic levels. Like, here's a metal plate with microscopic engravings that encode everything needed to establish the lowest trophic tech level, then there's another plate for the next trophic tech level after the previous one is established, etc, add in exceptions, loops, branchings, and make that the widespread physical encyclopedia thats hard to destroy.
