///>>>Welcome to the Matrix<<<\\\

1 > There is NO SPACE in the way we are taught to think about it;>

2 > We live in a completely enclosed ecosystem under a dome, called the Firmament;>

3 > No one can come visit from another “planet”, because they can’t break through the dome;>

4 > For the same reason no one can fly to another “planet”;>

5 > When they talk about space and planets, they mean deep ocean and other continents accessible only via the deep ocean;>

6 > Antarctica is not a continent - it’s a giant containment ice-wall, surrounding a crater called “earth”; it’s also called the “van allen belt”;>

7 > One can leave the earth crater only deep under the ocean through gates on the bottom of the ocean and reach other continents, called “planets”;>

8 > The seven planets of our solar system are allegories and are not physical places/realms;>

9 > We reside on this giant continuous terrain/realm called the “universe”;>

10 > There are many other continents, called “planets”, outside the Antarctica wall;>

11 > There are many living beings living on these continents outside the earth crater, called “aliens”;>

12 > These “aliens” are previous creations and some of them look humanoid;>

13 > There are humans being enslaved on the other continents outside of the earth crater - what they call “space colonies”, hence why over 8 Million humans disappear every year;>

14 > The original Nephilim bloodlines are alive and well living underground the “earth” crater and on the other continents outside Antarctica belt;>

15 > The “earth” is not as old as we are told - it’s way younger than we are told;>

16 > We are currently in year 723 +/- a few years A.D. and not in year 2023;>

17 > 1300 years of invented human history never happened - they were simply added to obscure the destruction of Tartaria and explain architecture and remaining artifacts; Tartarian super-advanced technology was deliberately destroyed although it is unclear who destroyed it and who the parasites were;>

18 > Tartaria did exist although I believe its location is different than what we are told and also its original name is most likely different too; its descendants have survived and live outside of the “earth” crater; one thing I have been unable to confirm is whether the Tartarians are descendants/bloodlines of the Nephilim, although I do believe that is most likely the case;>

19 > Most of the aliens are manufactured synthetic robotoids;>

20 > There was a mass manufacture of human [most likely cloned] babies, therefore the sudden explosion of orphans with unknown origins in the late 1800s and early 1900s - it’s possible these were the original soulless NPC bloodlines that represent more than half of all humans today;>

21 > The “earth” is a non-rotating stationary flat realm/crater within a much larger continuous terrain/plane/realm called the “universe”;>

22 > Souled humans are being farmed as animals; the words “male” and “female” actually depict the sex of an animal, not human; in the late 1770s and early 1800s humans were only described by the words “man”, “woman”, “boy” and “girl”, and then suddenly for unknown reasons [or more likely under unknown influence], humans began to be described as female and male, which was the way only animals were described at the time;>

23 > There is more than one great flood, the question is who and what caused the more recent ones;>

24 > The Egyptian civilization is not the oldest one; the Bosnian pyramids are twice as large as the Egyptian ones and have been hidden from the world for the longest time;>

25 > In fact there are pyramids all over Europe, quite a few of them older and bigger than the Egyptian ones; even the Mexican pyramids are older than the Egyptian ones - there has been a concerted effort to hide a vast amount of history from us;>

26 > I come from a tribe that is 2500 years old, one of the oldest in Europe; I have the feeling that we will discover that a significant part of the Egyptian and Babylonian history is fabricated.>

///>>> The Matrix <<<\\\

If you have not researched anything about the earth, I suggest you do. NASA and the powers that be have lied to everyone about who we are and where we live. This is one of the BIGGEST lies to ever be forced on the people.

STOP 🛑 be-LIE-ving in their fabricated stories. 🤔

Beyond the ice wall is the "Outer Space" 👇

Let this sink in. 🤔

[wander-wren]

i finally watched the first seven episodes of trigun stampede today and i have to say 👀👀👀 i have thoughts. i will attempt to be vague and not spoil things

first of all this is a puppy of a man and he is my new best friend

second of all, y’all weren’t kidding bout the christ allegory and all that. wow. it’s kinda goofy but like, also believable? in context?

i already knew going in that vashwood was a thing and i was waiting to see how gay, exactly, they were gonna be. and then one of the first things vash says to him is about how he has Good Person Eyes with his silly little smile and i’m like Oh okay. gay.

also it’s just, like, really sad. darker than i expected from what little i saw beforehand/the opening. (well. not the first four minutes. after that.) (maybe i should’ve taken the first four minutes as a hint.)

and more violent than i expected, ig i’m still new to anime and not used to my Silly Cartoons being full of The Violence. but also i get squicked by hand gore and arms are close enough to hands that some of the ep2/3 bits were. hm! hm. it’s cool tho. ig i should’ve expected something like that when there’s a bad guy named knives.

I HAVE A DUMB NITPICK ABOUT THE WORLDBUILDING THO. i do like the worldbuilding i think it’s really cool i love a good desert space planet. i like the sand worms. always gotta have sand worms. and the plants. it’s neat. but uh.

my question is why is the whole thing a desert and then there is ALSO the great sand ocean?? you can see the outline of the continent and everything?? but?? when we go to the great sand ocean it is literally just, yknow, more sand, and cars drive on it at the same speed as the ship, so like, what is the point. i thought maybe it’s like a big shelf, big drop off, like cliffs, but no? bc there is a genuine concern at one point about sailing into a town?? i’m so. i’m so confused. why is there an ocean. am i missing something??

ANYWAY my other nitpick is that meryl and roberto are very necessary to the story in the sense that they need to be there as outsiders to vash/knives/wolfwood/etc, as stand-ins for the audience, but like. they don’t DO anything so far. aside from occasionally doing one small useful task, they mostly just follow/drive vash around. i felt guilty about internalized misogyny for not liking meryl as much as vash/wolfwood, but cmon, one of them is a Smart Reporter who is interested in vash and has no sense of self preservation. two of them are very traumatized potentially not-quite-human gunslingers. and i like meryl! and roberto! i love a good grumpy mentor and his plucky newbie partner trope. they just don’t do much and dont give me a lot to latch onto.

yeah, that’s about it for right now. most of my thoughts are just that i love, love, love vash. so much. he’s so silly and strange and he’s a pacifist but he’s also veryy competent with a gun/in a fight. and he is sad. and he is a puppy. i want to give him a hug.

i saw that little thing about him refusing to eat after [redacted events] and how he “doesn’t deserve to cry” and meryl going “look at you!!” and clapping when he finally does, + him looking at wolfwood and repeating wolfwood’s comment about deserving to eat. oh my boy. oh i’m latching onto that so hard

same with wolfwood tbh tho i’m not as attached bc he came later and i’m still a little suspicious of some things. he’s also a weirdo but in a very different way. wow it’s almost like he and vash have really similar backstories but adapted in opposite directions.

(what if i was your narrative foil….and we were both boys…….)

oh! final thing is that i love the art style. the planets look so cool and the creature/machine designs are very neat and it’s just. pretty. yes.

hopefully i’ll have time to finish season 1 on tuesday? it doesn’t feel quite like a hyperfixation to me yet (which is good i don’t need to deal with that rn lol), but i’m definitely interested and want to take a wander through the fandom.

MORE ASKS Æ

Less of them having smaller braincases and more of my inconsistency at drawing angled perspective 😭 they're sometimes a bit off model but no, they have a similar cranial structure as the southhounds, I just sometimes end up drawing their ears looking a bit too high and their eyes a bit too far back...

I was thinking that the part of North Ecatoria that broke off to form the island was not part of the ranges of those species and was mostly barren and inhospitable to them. The possibility of some being on the island as it broke off was probably likely but perhaps they were limited to small populations of related individuals that wasn't feasible long term.

They crossed over by short lived land bridges during lowered sea levels in the Glaciocene while the harmsters were still the semi-sophont riplets. The harmsters never made it down south due to rough seas, cold weather and general inaccessibility of the continents by boat, and stayed primarily on the three major continents.

With how self-destructive and warmongering they were it felt unlikely they'd be organized enough to get to the technological level of being able to create nukes. Also felt a little too on-the-nose as an allegory of the folly of man so a disease spread by cannibalism and their lack of medical knowledge seemed more species-appropriate, and plus we got a whole new "animal" clade out of it.

The shroomors could probably count! They're still genetically rodents, mammals and animals, but can barely even be considered an animal given they're basically clumps of undifferentiated cells growing much like slime molds or fungi do.

As for more traditional "animals", the rattiles and daggoths would probably qualify.

Most of them, not very well since the environment and society is located in the ocean and they're nearly entirely land based. But if it was the Squeakwegs, who specialize in building boats, hunting large marine animals of baleen whale-size and engaging in oceanic warfare and storming other ships, they'd probably be able to become a serious threat to the sea-based societies of Late Ocean Age Serina. A potential weakness would be extreme cold, though, as they stuck to the warmer regions of the planet in the Glaciocene.

Small, generalized omnivorous mammal with the ability to potentially expand in different environments, and Chinese Dwarf Hamsters are specifically common laboratory animals due to them being easy to keep so it makes sense they were used as an early test subject to analyze the habitability of a planet.

Probably? Would be more difficult to develop minus the advantage of limbs but given enough time they'd probably get there eventually. IIRC there were some gliding species so it could potentially develop from there.

Mostly forelimb-based propulsion similar to how vampire bats do today or how pterosaurs were believed to run.

The Dichotomy of Divine Acts: A Rational Analysis of the Biblical Tales of Jesus and the Flood

Introduction

In the vast spectrum of religious narratives, two accounts from the Christian Bible often provoke intense debate and analysis: Jesus' sacrifice and subsequent resurrection, and the great flood orchestrated by God. These tales are not just bedtime stories for children; they are integral to the belief system of millions of people worldwide. Yet, when scrutinized through the lens of logic, reason, and empirical evidence, the fantastical nature of these events becomes painfully apparent.

Jesus: The Death and Resurrection

The tale of Jesus dying for humanity's sins is a cornerstone of Christian faith. But let's cut the shit and look at this with clear, rational eyes. Jesus, being part of the Holy Trinity, is God incarnate. He "dies" and then rises again a few days later. It's not exactly a sacrifice if you're an immortal being, is it? The resurrection makes the act less a selfless giving and more of a temporary inconvenience.

Where's the empirical evidence? None. Where's the logic? Absent. It's a story, a myth, a symbol, perhaps, but not a historical fact. It's wrapped in layers of metaphor and meaning, but it doesn't stand up to scientific scrutiny.

The Great Flood: Noah's Dubious Voyage

Next, we have the fantastical tale of Noah, a man tasked with saving all life on Earth from a cataclysmic flood. Let's get real here. The logistics alone are laughable. The idea that a single man and his family could house, feed, and care for every species on the planet is absurd.

Did Noah save the water-dwelling creatures? What about the plants and microorganisms? How did he even get creatures that live on other continents? The answers are nowhere to be found.

It's not just a hole in the plot; it's a chasm. A fairy tale. An allegory at best.

Conclusion: The Divine Paradox

These stories present a paradoxical image of God, an entity both benevolent and destructive, all-knowing yet seemingly irrational in action. The deity who sends his son to die (briefly) for humanity is the same one that wipes out almost all life on Earth.

Let's not sugarcoat it: these tales defy logic, science, and reason. They serve as allegories or moral teachings but fall apart under rational scrutiny. They are symbols, stories, and nothing more. To elevate them to the level of historical fact or scientific truth is to engage in a misguided elevation of faith over reason.

It's simple: the notion of accepting biblical tales like the flood and the resurrection of Jesus as literal truth is absurd. Teaching these stories as moral guidance is not just misguided, but irresponsible. Those who blindly accept them are living in a delusion, ignoring evidence and reason. If you're still clinging to these myths in the age of science and reason, it's time to wake up and face reality. Accepting these tales as truth is nothing short of insanity, and it's about time we collectively recognize that and move on.
