yeah. there are lots of misconceptions. first year linguistics (2 classes) could and should be taught in mid high school or something. it obliterates all the 'stuff people just say that isn't real but everyone thinks is real'.

bad information travels around, unfortunately, and it's helped a lot by people who have delusions of authority or that their memory borrows authority from authority somehow
i've had several long persisting ideas in my mind utterly destroyed by later facts and it takes a strong sense of self to recover from that, some things that were close to my constellation of thoughts that defined me, it was like having a huge structural piece fail
so i'm used to it
but most people live out their whole lives never facing this. sucks to be them... i feel better knowing i revised my model
yes. well. it's been like this for at least 2600 years. that I know of. People don't change, human nature is nature. See through it and wake up or drown in it and lose you.

yeah... some of the things you gotta let go of to get there are hard
but once you get over the grief of losing your illusions you are happier
oh yeah, the modern regime of bullshit has been in effect for about 2500 years
that's why, mysteriously, most of the great spiritual masters appeared 2500 years ago
chuang tzu
guatama siddhartha
and i personally believe that Jesus also was in this time, not merely 2000 years ago but contemporary to buddhism and taoism's origins
i mean, if you were God, and you threw out two ballers and then some fake council of false christians decrees that jesus was born at a date 2000 ago from today that no contemporary historian of that time (AD 0) concurred with
well fuckdedooo of course it's bullshit
jesus was before then, obviously, at least, and the other thing about jesus is he quoted Enoch extensively and they tried to ban that book too
read Enoch if you want to really fall down a rabbithole
according to Genesis, Enoch existed before the Flood so yeah
