We have thousands of ancestors born in relatively recent times. Yet for all those people, no one wrote anything down? No knowledge, no insight for your kids & grandkids etc to inherit?
This is so strange to me, almost like there has been a reset. I mean we have direct ancestors going back millions of years??
Dont even have to mention material stuff.
>>40568333 (OP)You’re fucking retarded
There’s tons of stuff they wrote down
I read books all the time that her firsthand accounts of historical events
It’s interesting reading about the lives. Pirates lived or the lives that the conquistadors lived when they came over here raped everyone.
You can find firsthand accounts of what it was like when the Mongols would rape and pillage a city
It’s all been written down
You guys have just been kept and you guys haven’t taken the initiative to learn on your own
The fact that you would even write something so stupid and wrong and you think you’re right. It shows how fucked up everything really is
>>40568333 (OP)>almost like there has been a reset.Perhaps there were 'resets' in the 1st century, 6th century, 11th century, and 16th century. Perhaps the next one happens soon. Perhaps they are not so much resets as branchings into a higher reality that are then hidden by the archons of the residual lower reality. Perhaps we're about to find out the truth.

>>40568333 (OP)You expected this guy to write stuff down for you? Get real retard
>>40568357Was your grandfather a pirate? Was he a Mongol conqueror? No, he wasn't. OP wasn't trying to say that there's no such thing as written accounts of history. He's saying that you have four grandparents and (usually) eight great-grandparents, and that in most cases, none of them left any writings for their descendants. One of my great-grandfathers was in the Merchant Navy. The only thing I have ever seen that apparently belonged to him was an Chinese snuff-box made of ivory from the turn of the century. He died less than a hundred years ago, and yet he is as remote to me as someone who died a thousand years ago. He lived a rich, full life and doubtless had many stories to tell and lessons to impart, but he didn't write any of them down - thus, he is lost. Why is this so common an occurrence? My ancestors have been generally affluent and well educated for centuries. My family is full of extremely smart and well-read people, and presumably has been for a great many generations. They weren't illiterate peasants or rugged frontiersmen or miners so exhausted from work that they never had time to write things down. Why did none of them think to leave a letter, an essay, or anything of the sort for their descendants?
>>40568333 (OP)It is because most people are simple. We are essentially workers bred for production.
>>40569793Would be impossible to hide
Where are the plastics?
Where are the metal tools, buildings?
They cleaned it up? Who are they? How can they clean the entire Earths surface for hundreds of metres and keep it quiet from everyone?
>>40568333 (OP)What have you ever written down that you think would last for ten years before disintegrating?
When have you ever written something with the mindset of "I need to find a way to preserve this for ten thousand years?"
People wrote things down all the time.
They didnt try to write it down so that you could read it.
>>40568333 (OP)>>40569920You're just describing a break in the natural family dynamic via radical americatomization retardos. forced cultural change wrecked the continuity you're expecting. and tons of people still at least get hand-written recipes from grandma or old war letters from grandpa.
Why didn't they just post on twitter or whatever??
>>40569920>Why did none of them think to leave a letter, an essay, or anything of the sort for their descendants?Because they forgor.
Or they didn't feel like it.
Or they did write something down but then it got lost or destroyed because nobody took care of it.
Shit happens bro and nothing ever goes perfectly, I think it's as shrimple as that.
>>40568333 (OP)Think about all the poor people born into poor families. It's like, why?
>>40568333 (OP)I have a lot of handwritten things from my grandmother, including her cookbook, and from my great-grandmother, dating back 150 years or so. A written family history going back further than that. I also have a book published by my godfather and mentor that is so awesome I won't talk about in this thread.
I also have a folder full of my father's editorials and what I call "proto-shitposts", written comments from before the digital era.
Fuck all you illiterate niggers.
Bump. These posts are classic /x/ material in the making, I enjoy.
On that same note, imagine how much unconventional information lies on the chinese speaking side of the internet, or some random arabian forum and the like.
The vast knowledge seemingly unavailable to us using conventional browsers, limited to the latin alphabet of a conventional QWERTY keyboard.
>>40568333 (OP)Do people really have an ancestral memory is the real question? How much of their temper is really carried over from one generation to the next ? If these people were to come back from their graves, how would you really relate to them? Isn't it that individuals exist in a vacuum, rather than being in any way connected to their forefathers?
>>40569969>How can they clean the entire Earths surface for hundreds of metres and keep it quiet from everyone?What if it is hidden beneath the Earth's crust? Wouldn't it be logical for all of it to melt if it is really deep down? Or they were just blown away from another planet and that's how they got rid of all the stuff.
>>40571507What is exactly preventing you from learning Arabic or Chinese and browsing this side of the internet?
>lies It doesn't lie, because the internet has consolidated around a few websites. People do not sit on forums or imageboards anymore. All of these sites have disappeared from the face of the earth.
>>40569920Why would they? Most people in the world are not smart and/or have nothing interesting to say, and if they had to give advice to their children they would do so in person. Plus many didn't live that long.
>>40569920Because people don't like to write, they like to generate thoughts and speak them. Which is why oral traditions were dominant until relatively recently.
It's why most writers love drugs and alcohol kek
when i read robert fludd, well i dont really remember if it was robert fludd, but it was a very antique /x/ related book, the beginning of the book is pretty much the author being thankful for the king (or princess? i dont remember) for requesting him to write what he was writing, and ive seen this on other books too and it's kinda mind boggling. regarding your OP, i believe the earth is 6000 years old. considering what i just said about the intellectual of the time and the "royalty" of the country he was being thankful for (and also for not being imprisoned, which i didn't mention, since that type of knowledge was forbidden) we can begin to consider that most people in the past were pretty much illiterate npcs/hylics, and that there huge imposed limitations on the people who were not hylics. this still apply nowadays btw, people are the same as ever despite the hand held "education" that were made virtually accessible to the people. even with social media most people will either do oneliners about the mundane (food, clothes, other people, most of the times celebrities) or at best repeat what the upper class tells them to repeat (that being propaganda to change status quo of something, such as ideologies/politics matters) and the pneumatic "intellectuals" of our time get censored or outright persecuted in the shadows all the time, and that's why we are on 4chan, lol.
>>40572670i realized i did some grammatical and syntax mistakes here its because i have insomnia, byew now, fr
>>40568364Everything could be fiction you dumb fuck
You take everything with a grain of salt
But through reading them, you can tell what’s true and what’s not
Well, at least I can you might not be able to because you’re a fucking retard
