kromem,

The irony being that the surviving records of antiquity are literally just predominantly the royal propaganda because those were carved into stone which lasted and other writing formats didn’t survive.

The guy carving into the rock here in reality was doing so at the bidding of a guy who would have killed him if he didn’t write the version of reality he wanted recorded.

The idea that what was written down could be instantly disputed and checked against facts at all is the part this dude would find unbelievable.

Is that worse than having knowledge curated by only a few?

Viking_Hippie,

Both are awful in each their own way and we’re so goddamn lucky that they don’t even cancel each other out, they MULTIPLY each other! Wee!

corsicanguppy,

It depends on which few.

Religiofascists curating science? Dark ages.

Scientists curating religion? Grifter cults die, only vegan, wicca and Buddhism remains as religions, but everything is well-recorded and studied in its sunset.

Military curating education? “IM DOING MY PART!”

Military curating science? MOAR BOMMS

We could rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock the shit out of this. We could, but should we?

Conjecture, or did this happen? If it happened, where and when?

corsicanguppy,

It can only BE conjecture. Read the room. Remember the grifter cults are still out there. Do math. How is this a question?
