So from what I can see, in the last 200 years we have progressed quicker and further than in the last 500,000 years. We had huge generational leaps in technology.
How is it possible according to supposed written history, with ancient Roman, Chinese and Egyptian empires that they didn't progress even to a fraction of what we got. Is history that we are taught a lie? Shit like pyramids don't add up if you take into account the time necessary to mine the stones, cut them, transport them all while using manual labour.

It's called the Great Acceleration. The end point is the Singularity. And you should buckle up anon, because it's closer than you think.

Yes, so it would seem.

Because they were writing book by hand, and anytime a mother fucker come to conquest, he fucking BURNT the libraries.
Happend with Babylon library ,library of Alexandria, Baghdad library, etc
Literal reset of knowledge, hoarded over freaking generations, over and over again, in an instant.
It’s WAY harder to reset knowledge when we got printing press, and waaaay harder now that we have digital libraries the size of library of Alexandria, on a 20 Terabyte hard drives that cost $100, don’t need any maintenance and only require replacement every 5-8 years
Tl;dr I suspect we would be WAY more technologically advanced if we didn’t encounter reset after reset during classical and middle ages
Like imagine

Of course they lied lmao
This "New World" is a mess and a facsimile of life.

If anything that New World MMO by Amazon is better managed

The Atlantean era had over 10,000 years of history, electricity, industry, material science, etc. Still haven't fully grasped its existence though. I dream of it all the time, but is that history I dream of prior to our own, or is it some kind of alternate parallel timeline branch of humanity living in a higher level of consciousness?

>>40651430 (OP)
Laws of God restricted this from being persued. man had started to fall out of grace (once again) after Christ.
Remember, Way before Christ and before Possibly Noah, Atlanta existed. Technology wiped out the planet. perhaps they could control Earthquakes like HAARP
we only repeat shit. it's the nature of Man. God gives another chance and Man (most likely influenced by woman) destroys chance
It might be why we don't want Women in control of Nukes. they have a heavy flow week and That's that!

a shame that it's still happening. the communist purge of knowledge in China wasn't all that long ago (1966).
but you're definitely right that it isn't as devastating now thanks to global connectivity and the efforts of selfless individuals whose sole goal is to archive and preserve history.

i liken the loss of geocities as the modern day burning of Alexandria

>>40654788
It is still happening.
Like there are SOOOO MANY obscured books out there with almost no advertisements, either Becuase it’s not trendy, or publication gave it up etc
Like just today, I just remembered about a book that was only advertised on a self made website, a sorta scientific occultic book about brain.
I can’t find it anymore, I know the website is still out there, but can’t find it, and I don’t remember the name either.
A week ago, a website that had a bunch of obscured books for free download just discontinued. Books were so fringe I never even heard of them and in an instant it was gone. I just found this website a week prior.
But lucky for me, I was able to find it on internet archives and download them.
Next thing you know, internet archives was pierced too!
But then again, it’s much easier to maintain and “hoard” the info in modern day as well

a technological progression just flew over my house!

then innovation just kind of stopped around the 2000s

i think low tech and high tech are just different flavors on the ice cream wagon and evolution does not exist

we switched elements.
19/20th century were astrological conjunctions in the earth element up to the 1980s-2000s when we got a preview of the air element. then from 2000-2020 it returned to the earth element

in 2020 we had something called the grand conjunction and this moved us into the air element permanently for the next 200 years or so, then near the end we will switch to the water element.


air element is all about technology, intellectualism, the mind, philosophy, art. the last time we were in the air element the European Renaissance happened


>In astrology, the "Great Mutation" refers to a shift in the element associated with the cycle of Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions. Historically, these conjunctions have occurred in the same element (earth, air, fire, or water) for roughly 200 years. The last 200 years saw conjunctions in earth signs (primarily Capricorn). Now, with the conjunction shifting to air signs (starting with Aquarius), a "Great Mutation" to the air element is underway

No, humanity didn't advance and lose it all. We have no proof of that. Just because you dont understand how the Pyramids were built doesn't mean it was aliens or some stupid shit. Humans are smart and innovative and will think of clever methods to get the job done, history has shown you this.

Yeah what he said about the books, it could take a monk his entire life to write a book and then, oh the king had beef with some other dude, got raided and all the books burned. Also once we stopped burning people to death for doing science it starting movie a lot fucking faster lol

The real answer is advancements in metallurgy.
Steam engines aren't new. The ancient Greeks had schematics for them. There just wasn't a metal available which could handle the intense heat and pressure required. Shit, when we went to the moon we followed the math on the subject from them as well. People have never been dumb. They just didn't always have the materials available to do what they knew was possible.
As soon as we had the materials available, we were free to advance into a technological revolution.

Women are supperior to man and are devine. The only reason why men dont want women in charge is because they are dumb and cowadly.

I actually agree. Women are superior and their pleasure mirrors paradise. Therefore they shouldn't have to work and spend day in and out being pleasured by fat cocks.

There are findings of silver laced copper in Europe that could have only come from mines in america that is an entire civilization that was stripped from the history books hell there are all kinds of underwater ruins from civilizations that got flooded when the last ice age ended and given how those always stick around coasts they were probably most of the world at the time and when the ice shelf over Europe was melting and early whites migrated upwards before the semite takeover of the middle east they found shit from fucking before the ice age everburning lamps that whores church made sure to destroy we have been here before and forgot all the lessons

History, technology, progress (a subjective measurement) is not linear - it is exponential and filled with false starts and dead ends.

Just because you have all the ingredients in your kitchen to bake a souffle doesn't mean you're just gonna make one if you have no concept for it. Romans 'could have' made steam engines at scale and begun industrialization - but for their economy, system of governance, and scientific and cultural framework there was no reason to put all the pieces together for industrialization. They had no concept for it - markets back then didn't work the way they do now, trade as well.

But also - who knows? We've had these brains for more or less a quarter million years - a perfectly reasonable amount of time for multiple industrial age civilizations to crop up, blow themselves up, and then disappear with next to no evidence of them remaining within 20,000 years. Could've happened at least two dozen times in that timeframe. We'll probably never know.
