Very enjoyable thank you

[p3achFUZZ69]

you think the leaders faceless leaders of the world would let us discover any of our worlds secrets? no. what would happen to them without their monopolistic knowledge? we have energy technology that created the same ammount of energy as a normal engine, but uses 5% of the fuel. So if i dont need to pay for anymore fuel, medicine, energy etc. what would happen to the powers that be if we dont need anything from them ? we will never figure out any ancient mysteries of the world.

Are president isn't able to write his own speeches, he has a PR do it. So are we hearing his thoughts or the thoughts of the person writing?

[metalliballz]

@krista37090 its our presidents not are president

[neoaeonian]

I don't know what was lost there, but I doubt we'd learn anything new that is of any practical use. Of course, it took us 1400 years to make up for lost time, but any of the hundreds of colleges in any economically developed country would put it to shame. (printing press, and all that, helping us out). It is a shame we lost over 10 centuries to catch back up, though.

[dubconor]

@neoaeonian I thumbed up'd your comment by accient, was supposed to be a thumbs down, No one knows what was exactly lost, only a hand full of knowledge, but I can almost promise you, we lost lots more then books, we ended up losing 1000's of years of growth, ways to think and learn, Ended up with the blackness of church and state.

[neoaeonian]

@dubconor But I said that, that we did lose 1400 years, which is atrocious.

What I'm saying, though, is that we can't go back and regain those by expecting ancient wisdom to be some sacred key. We have to go forward and build.

Keep in mind that what was lost then was lost because the superstitious people hoped to stick to their particular past, rather than advancing with the rest of the world.

[dubconor]

@neoaeonian Sorry if my message came accross all judgmental and arrogant, cant imagine I was in the best of moods when I wrote that to you. But I agree with you 1000% percent on this one. Better to move and build towards a better future, Then hope some key from the past to unlock it all for us. Except the aspect of remembering and learning from the mistakes that history can teach us. Since he who does not know his history is doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over.

[neoaeonian]

@dubconor Always good to have a misunderstanding bridged.

[HistoryLover1550]

It would've been awesome to have lived in Alexandria when it was at the height of its power, such a culturally diverse and intellectual city.

[calvingmail]

Wonder how many ancient secrets got destroyed in that fire.

[HistoryLover1550]

@calvingmail Countless secrets that could for better or worse change the course of history. Hopefully somewhere, there's a lost collection of ancient works still waiting to be found.

[Zachdudeio2]

US presidents work for giant coporations. Pretty obvious if you ask me.

[dubconor]

@Zachdudeio2 The Giant Coporations are inturn controlled by the banks/bankers. Who in turn are controlled by ? thats what I would love to learn, Does it stop at the banks etc, or is there another group or family that control the biggest share of the banks, (ive read about masons/illuminati etc dont cant decide) what do you's think?

[Zachdudeio2]

@dubconor I didn't mean my statement to imply that the "illuminati" controlled them, I meant simply what I said.

[ethusiasm]

@dubconor there's one thing beyond banks called "consortium".

[GordosMama1111]

@dubconor look in a mirror. watch mckenna. no one is "in control". to seek it is to not have it. these bloodlines TRY and do make headway..but ONLY because WE as a whole ALLOW it. as we sit here on computers enjoying the fruits of society, then bitch about its foundations. the knowledge is inside you already. there came a day when you realized you didnt have to listen to your parents. was is the best or worst day the first time you beat your mother/father at a game? GREED is not a person.

[GordosMama1111]

@GordosMama1111 free will is a wonderful thing. you can chuck your laptop and live in the woods if you wanted. you dont need a name. thats societies baggage you decide to carry with you. do you blame the knife in your chest or the person who put it there?

[rock1644]

@Zachdudeio2

The US government in its entirety is basically owned by the corporations.

[jamesdragonforce]

@Zachdudeio2 No, they more often work for their own ambitions. Corporations often don't help though.

[yossariancomplex]

Todays society could take a few hints from these guys. Our leaders should foster learning more enthusiastically, they should surround themselves with experts and technicians rather than polaticians.

[mdg140]

@yossariancomplex I agree with you, yossar; however, US presidents have always had many advisers who were experts in their fields. I think that for too long our presidents have relied on the decision-making of their political and academic advisers to compensate for their own shortcomings. Personally, I would prefer a president more like Octavian, whom ruled Rome almost single-handedly and brought it into prosperity by his own merit and ability.

[dubconor]

@mdg140 but how long would they keep control? where is the line from leader and dictator?

[yossariancomplex]

@mdg140 I'd say the leaders of nations do behave like Octavian, they do ignore the advice of experts in order to peptuate their own power and the power of their nations.

[Severe777]

@yossariancomplex they know what they are doing, and they are fucking up intentionally. just imo though.

[GordosMama1111]

@yossariancomplex hate to break it to you, but they DO learn from these guys. Actually you can trace US presidents familiy histories back to Egypt. Same for the "Royal" familiy in England. They are all from the same bloodline and they DO hold this knowledge secret and give it out to the masses when it suits their goals. There are some who believe Obama is a reincarnation if not a direct descendent of Akhenaten. FYI Windsor is NOT the royal's REAL last name...

[yossariancomplex]

@GordosMama1111 I know the windsor's real name is Saxa Coeburg. I know almost all U.S. presidents can trace their lineage to British royalty who dubiously claim to be descended from everyone from Alexander the great, to the Egyptian Pharoahs, to Jesus Christ himself- very little of which can be proven.Where is your evidence that any of these lineages hold the knowledge of Alexandria? I suspect you have none and are wildly speculating.

[GordosMama1111]

@yossariancomplex pay attention the the next "big thing" it will happen on a major "pagan" holiday. Beltane-Royal Wedding-Osama? Coincedence? Thats just ONE example. its the INNER mysteries of the mystery religions they keep from us, while spitting out the "baby food" version for "us". thats how they use "spells" (which are JUST words, nothing MAGIC)on us and they know the symbols and what power they have. the proof is in the pudding, love.

[yossariancomplex]

@GordosMama1111 I just don't pay attention to them. So far as I'm concerned the only power they have can be counted in bullets.

[GordosMama1111]

@yossariancomplex k. fight the "power" bro

[yossariancomplex]

@GordosMama1111 My point remains, the leaders of nations today should stop ignoring scientists and technicians who could improve our lives in favour of pepetuating outmoded power structures which serve to enslave a most of humanity.
