Very interesting stuff. In Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya it talks about how after Jesus the Age of Pisces would have two phases, just as the symbol and the constellation are two fish in opposite directions, the age is divided into two periods. The first, about 1200 years, is the Age of Jesus. This spans the time from the life of Jesus and the establishment of his church. This period is notable by the lack of strong governments and the beginning of free markets. Nick Szabo has a good article about how Christianity and church clocks were the basis of the modern concept of employment, by establishing a common clock, similar to how Bitcoin's protocol is all about what computer scientists call "weak synchrony" Then, beginning around 1000-1200 we see the first establishment of copyright, and letters patent, government protected monopolies on business, and the government registered corporations. From then until now has been the real dark age, the second fish of the Age of Pisces. The age of Satan. The age of atheism, which is really just satanism lite, with the Devil hiding under the capital S Science. As in Fauci style. There is a massive disaster coming in the next 30 years, that will almost like this podcaster describes in a hypothetical total destruction of centralized power, mean the end of the modern state. It will also mean a massive loss of our modern internet, because the sin is going to fry most electrical infrastructure and radio systems are going to mostly be destroyed. We will have to go underground, we will all have to be armed, because the centralized systems will no longer function, and there inevitably will be marauding gangs who only listen to when you are prepared and able to kill them. But what we have gained will not be lost. We will continue in the pockets and holes we build to shelter from an "evil" sun, as happened the same 12800 years ago. We will devise telecoms devices that use entanglement and computers that run purely on light and magnetism, and energy from nuclear and antimatter. Probably our ancestors who long ago left, leaving behind Giza, will return and help us, maybe they evac, or maybe they just come teach us as they did long ago to Adam, giving us the agriculture we now depend on. nostr:nevent1qqswmgqvnz9ahn2mqqvmxlwfacdsxj6amn4nqhvrlue53jqx8x8z6dqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsygpr9lcszuzhkshrzusrwy0j6d94gw3cuq6u3vad4ztx66pryyjfzgpsgqqqqqqs8hgkk6
