I'm not saying he's 100 or even 50 percent right, But some of his data is valid, if not his conclusions. as is data from the others. When it comes right down to it, I don't really care. It's all fun an games for me, while I wait for death.

Ah okay. Just I wasted, well maybe not totally, years looking into guys like this, have you heard of Simon Parkes? Hancock is basically exactly the same, blatant attention seeker.

I only run into such stuff by accident on YouTube. Don't hear complaints unless they are in an interesting video. Once in a while I will google stuff to check my information. I have found that people with the most far out claims still have some elements that are real.

If this is the Hancock I'm thinking of(Graham?) avoid like the plague, complete bullshitter and Netflix give him his own nonsense show.

You mean "Ancient Apocalypse" - where he went all over the world visiting ruins and making the case that they all held evidence of some mysterious teacher figure appearing out of nowhere to impart to the civilizations that built these places all sorts of advanced knowledge ?
His theory being that they were the last survivors of some hitherto unknown super-civilization that was destroyed by some sort of "cosmic cataclysm", and these final few made it their mission to sort of save the world by uplifting the poor, dumb bastids left after the disaster.

Fun stuff !

It is ridiculous I think. No speciality fits his nonsense(history, science, philosophy, religion...), people believe him because they want the shit he spouts to be true. I know this, I checked out all these nut jobs over the years, even in lies there's truth, the fishing bait.

That sounds like the show(Ancient Apocalypse).

As a master of space and time, and one of the reincarnated mayors of Teotihuacan* and earthly subavatar of Quetzalcoatl, I have some justified resentment of these shallow poseurs.


* Also elected to city council FIVE times, as well as a decade in Public Works supervising blood drainage systems on the High Altars of Huītzilōpōchtli, glorious god of the sun. I don't want to brag, but I was the only one on the payroll who could actually spell the sun god's name correctly.

This resume would make you one of the evilest entities ever to be on the planet.
 
I don't understand all the judgement there about human sacrifice. The people who signed up were super stoked about their role in assuring the maize crop (though we did get the occasional one whose claims of virginity were quite exaggerated, and had to turn them down) and the honor it brought their families. And, FWIW, it was an 8 to 5 job, and I didn't take my whole Quetzalcoatl persona home with me. At home, I was just Bob, proud father of three, with a golf handicap that was, frankly, laughable.

Sounds like one of those suburban living serial killers.

Просто размышляла. Все же мечтают, что когда-нибудь человечество сможет жить если не вечно, то долго, и заполнит собой если не всю Вселенную, то по крайней мере всю галактику. И технологии будут на более высоком уровне, способные использовать большие энергии, чем сейчас. Сможет ли человечество в далёком будущем значимо влиять на остальную материю во Вселенной?

We’re already destroying this planet with pollution, greed, violence, wars, etc - I’m not sure “humanity” will evolve beyond earth. Maybe if we learn some valuable lessons but at this rate, we will become extinct if we don’t correct our bad ways. I think it would be better if we could somehow fix the problems we started on this planet. But, dreaming can be fun…

Now that is a rather interesting statement with, I suspect, more than a grain of truth in it. What you are suggesting is that these people prefer to be entertained, rather than to believe the boring truth. I suppose tabloid journalists have known this for decades.

The key point about this is that people are prepared to actually believe stuff because it entertains them and not because they think it is true! So there is deliberate self-deception at work.

How have you destroyed or are destroying the earth?

hmmm... ...let's see...

Internal combustion engine propelled vehicle - which I drive a lot - lawn mower & "weed-whacker" - those are all reputedly equivalent to death machines...

I eat my share of meat, and as we all know, livestock is worse for the world than a full-scale nuclear war...

I refuse to recycle anything, because it's too inconvenient... (plus it's part of my wee contribution to my own little "Extinction Agenda"... :tongue::tongue::tongue:)

I refuse to dispose of anything that's supposed to require a "special procedure" (eg, fluorescent bulbs, rechargeable batteries, &tc.) in any other way than just throwing them in the trash...

Speaking of vehicles, I have a habit of throwing empty beverage containers out the window of mine wherever I happen to be when I'm driving. (not to mention any other disposable thing which happens to be cluttering up the car for whatever reason)...

I'm sure there's more which are merely aspects of "modern life" that I'm neglecting to recall. And of course these are piddling little drops in the bucket in the scheme of things. Multiply this by umpty-bazillion bozos like me, though, and there you have it !

I do none of that so I'm not destroying the planet? What about the plastic, is that my fault or yours?

Why do I get blamed by todays youth for destroying the planet? Do you have a choice to drive or not? Or do you need to?
