But yeah, history is easily manipulated to fit certain agendas. Also chud was 100% correct about how history teaches us what ideas work and fail.

Why is so much work done on a screen? Is this not designed to hurt one’s eyes? Why do we confine ourselves to such small room juxtaposed to the infinite size of the universe outside our windows? Is it not mad to waste one’s time working for the meaningless of it all?
I would be more active if I wasn’t so stuck. But how should one fix thyself?
It sounds like you are feeling incredibly trapped, exhausted, and disconnected right now. It is completely understandable to look at the modern routine—staring at a glowing rectangle in a small room while a massive world exists just outside—and feel a profound sense of absurdity and exhaustion. You are not "mad" for questioning this; in fact, realizing how unnatural it feels is a very human reaction.
Modern work is built around screens and small spaces because digital tools allow us to process information and connect globally at speeds that physical paper or travel never could. It wasn't explicitly designed to hurt your eyes, but our biology simply hasn't caught up to the rapid shift from tracking wildlife and horizons to staring at fixed, close-up light sources.
When you feel deeply stuck, trying to "fix thyself" all at once can feel like an impossible mountain to climb. You don't have to overhaul your entire life today. Instead, you can start with tiny, physical shifts to break the stagnation:
• Change your focal depth: The human eye relaxes when looking at the horizon. Every 20 minutes, look at something at least 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Better yet, step outside for five minutes just to look at the sky.
• Shift your physical environment: If you cannot leave the room, change where you sit, open a window to let fresh air in, or do your work from the floor for an hour. Altering your physical perspective can trick your brain out of a mental rut.
• Inject a micro-dose of the "outside": Bring a piece of the infinite universe inside. Open a window to listen to the birds or traffic, place a single plant on your desk, or leave the door open.
• Reclaim five minutes of meaning: If the work feels meaningless, separate your livelihood from your purpose. Dedicate just five minutes a day to something entirely unproductivity-focused—like sketching, stretching, or reading a physical book—solely because it makes you feel alive.
Had you ever taken the wrong path you knew was wrong but you did it anyway? When you lost integrity did you lose or gain ethos? Did you get away or do the events from the past still haunt you?
If you have a roof over your head, a car in the driveway, and $200 in your bank account you are wealthier than the majority of every human being alive on this planet right now and most Americans have no idea how true that actually is.
Here's what the real global picture looks like according to the UBS Global Wealth Report 2026 and the World Inequality Report 2026.
The numbers are staggering:
- The MEDIAN global wealth per adult is just $9,000
- 41% of all adults worldwide have a total net worth of LESS than $10,000
- The bottom 50% of humanity, roughly 2.8 BILLION people, owns just 2% of all global wealth combined
- The richest 10% own approximately 75% of all personal wealth on Earth
- Simply owning a car and having no debt puts you ahead of the majority of people alive today
- Having any positive net worth at all places you above the bottom half of the global population
Here's what this means in practical terms.
The average American feels broke. Costs are high, inflation has been brutal, housing is unaffordable, and the financial pressure most people are carrying right now is real and documented. None of that is being dismissed here.
But perspective matters for how you BUILD from where you are.
The American who feels behind because they can't afford a house yet is still operating from a baseline that billions of people on this planet will never reach in their lifetime. Running water. Reliable electricity. Access to the internet. A vehicle. Food security. Healthcare that exists even if it's expensive. A banking system you can actually participate in.
These aren't small things. They're the infrastructure of opportunity that most of the world doesn't have access to.
Here's the financial mindset shift this data should produce.
Gratitude and ambition are not opposites. You can simultaneously appreciate the genuine advantages of where you're starting from AND aggressively build toward where you want to go.
The people who build the most wealth aren't the ones who feel the most entitled to more. They're the ones who recognize what they already have to work with and use every bit of it.
You have more than you think. Build on it.

Food and rent doesn't bankrupt people. If you are poor you get food for free, medicine for free, they pay your heating bill and heavily discount where you live.
Bankrupt people have the same bad habits, smoking, drinking the liquid joo, drugs, and the inability to stop from buying the latest shiny thing like some demented caveman.

Ezra Pound once remarked to Eustace Mullins that part of the difficulty in convincing White Americans of the Jewish threat in the early 1900s was the belief that Jews were harmless comedians. They didn't realise that it would be quite easy to make light of the world when everyone else had already been labeled and seen as an object.
Americans were programmed as far back as the Civil War, when Rabbis conspired to create an alternative bible that took out all references criticizing jews.
The book, compiled by Rabbi Cyrus Scofield ended up becoming the standard which other bibles derived from. Entire books are missing from the Scofield bible and any text calling Jews the synagogue of Satan were toned down or omitted.
Most modern Americans won't use the proper KJV because the text is hard to read. The translation from Greek is tough to go through.
Considering how many ideas for drawings I have yet no time or effort to extend for learning art, I think I am starting to become more accepting of AI art. But I would still prefer actual videogames to be done by artists mostly manually for example.
Also I would still draw the original thing but try to "enhance" it with ai or have it fix my anatomy and then redraw it. Maybe ai will also learn to fix lineart in a way you need without touching other things.

I am planning to finish to write a book. Here's its abstract:
This is an essay on those who have come back changed from extreme experiences.
Prophets, shamans, spiritual leaders of various traditions, legendary mythological figures.
Throughout history these people had a place and a role in society, but as spirituality wanes in our times, what's their purpose now? What is the biology behind the experiences that make them who they are? And how can someone who's lost a part of their humanity find their place in this world?
Here are the planned contents:
I. The myth.
II. The biology.
III. Contemporary Accounts
IV. Personal Accounts
V. Sources.

Buddhism is 6th-5th century BC. It reached Tibet in 7th century AD. Which is fairly late compared to China for example.
But written evidence of shamanism is extremely late compared to even this, basically the start of modernity.
Archeological evidence... if researchers want something to be shamanist it will be, if they don't it won't.
