so what revelations do you have from examining the primary sources

2020-03-14 22:18:17 UTC  

I might know them

2020-03-14 22:18:29 UTC  

a fellow named "ayyylmao" and another named "blanc"

2020-03-14 22:19:22 UTC  

To be honest I'm active in AshaLogo's Riot server where there is a section where we talk about this often, specifically subverted history.

2020-03-14 22:19:56 UTC  

@ayyycough are you in AshaLogos' riot server?

2020-03-14 22:20:10 UTC  
2020-03-14 22:21:08 UTC  

so what sort of things have been subverted, and by whom?

2020-03-14 22:21:30 UTC  

@Nerthulas My points are that history from the fall of Western Rome until the formation of the first European countries should be looked at more closely.

A lot of it is taken at face value

2020-03-14 22:22:10 UTC  

When in reality is should be ignored

2020-03-14 22:22:20 UTC  

well, ok, we have copies from monks, and the byzantine archives, and we have whatever copies the arabs made

2020-03-14 22:22:28 UTC  

it certainly shouldn't be 'ignored'

2020-03-14 22:22:41 UTC  

we have all these writings, so could they have been changed?

2020-03-14 22:22:43 UTC  

maybe

2020-03-14 22:23:05 UTC  

is there a good reason to think that they were, rather than more faithful transcriptions?

2020-03-14 22:24:06 UTC  

The 100 years war and subsequent 30 years war were both significant events where society was entirely reorganized.

2020-03-14 22:25:30 UTC  

ok

2020-03-14 22:25:32 UTC  

unlike today history had decentralized recording, looking at you google book burning project

2020-03-14 22:25:41 UTC  

The physical artifacts that we have are given a context, when in reality we should assume we know nothing of physical artifacts and instead place them in a timeline that is actually verified.

2020-03-14 22:25:53 UTC  

what verified timeline

2020-03-14 22:26:28 UTC  

guys

2020-03-14 22:26:38 UTC  

is this 33 thing about the coronavirus something true

2020-03-14 22:26:44 UTC  

Well say a roman lamp is found. The dating methods are not empirical.

2020-03-14 22:27:10 UTC  

Its like dating a piece of art.

2020-03-14 22:27:23 UTC  

The entire field is full of BS

2020-03-14 22:27:56 UTC  

ok

2020-03-14 22:27:57 UTC  

well

2020-03-14 22:28:03 UTC  

they don't say that they know for sure

2020-03-14 22:28:09 UTC  

would you rather they just say

2020-03-14 22:28:14 UTC  

the coronavirus hopefully kills a lot of people

2020-03-14 22:28:17 UTC  

"we don't know anything about this"

2020-03-14 22:28:25 UTC  

or have them talk about what their best guesses are

2020-03-14 22:28:37 UTC  

and what those guesses are based on

2020-03-14 22:28:54 UTC  

they give estimations for a lot of things

2020-03-14 22:28:59 UTC  

@Nerthulas their best guesses are politically motivated. It has always been.

2020-03-14 22:29:08 UTC  

It is not empirical
