Egregoros

@VirginCrusader @bigtony @ankokukishi @Hoss @c amusing and definitely going to rattle the bones of most neopagans (who are larpers), but pre-christian religion (back when it was sincerely practiced) was often decentralized and without a single canon. the sagas contradict each other a lot, the eddas (composed much later) even more so. other pagan texts like the greek epics and the kalavela and bēowulf are going to be even more internally inconsistent. the practce of religion was very different then to christian insistence on the singular authority of doctrine (+ rome and/or the bible). talking about what odin "did" is difficult precisely because there's very little everybody will agree odin did, and plenty of local traditions would have made up their own stories (all stories about odin are made-up because odin is made-up, but you get my point, i hope).

it's sort of like looking at nigger bible scholars saying jesus was a queer brown immigrant muslim, and concluding that christianity is Le Gay Brownoid religion -- which, incidentally, is also a lot of these pagans' error.

@Nudhul @bigtony @HatkeshiatorTND @ankokukishi @VirginCrusader @KingOfWhiteAmerica @Hoss @c I asked CHATGPT to map all flood myths for me.

Timing is difficult as no one can age these myth accurately

the map of them, high places all over the world almost entirely

I had reason to do this. I spent 6 hours in one conversation that spanned data and systems analysis of
Ancient sites
Black soil deposits
Flood myths
Ocean displacement myths compared to a hypothesized earth rotation change model

The results were

alarming

@Sargent_s_laughter @Nudhul @bigtony @HatkeshiatorTND @ankokukishi @VirginCrusader @Hoss @c Yeah I think the Flood covered the entire Earth. That said, I also think the Earth is probably actually Concave, and we live on the inside. It’d be funny if I were joking, but I fully freely admit to not knowing the shape of the Earth for certain.

If Spaceballs, then I’m open to the possibility Man was actually created to live on Titan, and the Noah’s Ark story symbolically captures the journey from Saturn’s largest moon, to our current planetary home.

@KingOfWhiteAmerica @Nudhul @bigtony @HatkeshiatorTND @ankokukishi @VirginCrusader @Hoss @c the earth is a triaxial elipsoid.

Also ever see the LLSVP? (Large low velocity shear provinces) inside the earth/

Looks like they came from the core
We've mapped them over decades using earthquake vibrations as it moves through different density of matter.

If earth's magnetic moment collapses (geomagnetic excursions) the mantle and crust might detach and do a gyroscopic readjustment to retain equilibrium as the magnetic field weakens and the core expels iron into the mantle, lubricating the boundary
