Talk about wholesome conspiracies, my god this is beautiful! I don't remember if I found you (or you found me) through VA but I'm glad to have a name and a preferred pronoun, antiquated tho those might be ;-) It really is gorgeous and so informative and amazing.

I remember Charles Eisenstein wrote something along these lines. And it's not on the earthworks theme but Davids Graeber and Wengrow looked at the anthropological evidence of much more interesting social structures, which I talk about here: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/muskrat-love-and-anarchy and here: https://thirdparadigm.substack.com/p/when-mothers-ran-the-world.

“She/her/filthy-nature-worshipping-Yeshua-denying-heathen” rolls off the tongue pretty well 😄

Thankyou for those kind words Tereza! VA did some long hours bringing this one together into its lovely final form. I’ll check out those links: you wouldn’t happen to have one for Charles’ (Eisenstein, not King Chuck) effort would you? I don’t follow him as closely as I used to, but he was one of my earliest wholesome conspirator inspirations.

Your excellent gift of this video deserved some digging in return: https://charleseisenstein.substack.com/p/parallel-timelines

Charles is my jam too.

Adding your links to my cue... Substack is more interesting than television. I don’t think I’ve watched any fiction whatsoever since I got on this platform. An endless fountain of top quality content. I think I found you in Isaac’s stack first, Tereza, and I came lurking in your stack. I’ve been swamped with work and haven’t been able to catch up on a whole lot, but hoping to do some of that this week.

Oh what a pleasure to be read by you! And I need to watch your creation again ... and again. It really is magnificent. If there's a way to say 'awesome' that doesn't invoke Wayne's World, I'd use it.

I used to love Wayne’s World! 😂 I wonder if it holds up.

Thanks for the kind words. Hoping to wrap up a bunch of videos in the next couple of months. Party on!

“...it delves into nostalgia rather than nefariousness, and encourages imagination over suspicion.” -- I think you nailed why I’m so attracted to the old world conspiracy. Talk about wholesome!

Love collaborating with you, ten out of ten would do it again. I’d go down some more wombat holes until I emerge a proper marsupial, I tell ya.

Marsupials seem to have it figured out in terms of where we appear to be heading: grounded and digging, and only appearing on the surface when absolutely necessary!

Super keen for more collabs, and I have plenty of ideas in the works, but also looking forward to seeing where you take your own Old World Conspiracy burrow as well.

No time at the moment, but do want to point out the physical evidence that Jesus/Yeshua, son of Joseph, did exist in physical reality, as reflected in the tomb unearthed in the 80s in Talpiot, Israel. 9 ossuaries unequivocally place the timing of burial within the known lifetime of the Christ. Their inscriptions are Jesus son of Joseph, Mary, Mariamne also called Mara (see Acts of Philip, her brother for likely true name of "Mary of Magdala"), Matthew, Judah son of Jesus, Jos'e (name of a brother of Jesus, see Gospel of Mark) . Much more evidence around this find.

Thanks Mary. Sounds pretty convincing! I’m not sure if we have the ability to prove the “realness” of Jesus/Yeshua beyond reasonable doubt, so it seems best to focus on the spirit and essence of his character as undoubtedly real (except perhaps how it has since been used to make us believe humans need an external Saviour).

What a very compelling adventure of a post!! Love it! I want more, more!

And I very much enjoyed the video, too.

Trying to catch up on things, so I'm a bit tardy with this comment, but... Wow! ^_^

Thankyou Jaan! We had so much fun with this, i'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂

It really is a challenge keeping up with everything on Substack at the moment, but this new Notes thing looks fun.

I've been studying for a test, which I've mostly passed, lol. And also trying to cut down on screen time to save mine eyes...

I looked at Notes, and it's impressing me as very Substackian-- low-er tech, which I assume is because the CIA isn't behind it, LOL! Anyway, dunno if I'll mess with it TOO much... Tell me what you think of it when you've explored! ^_^
