Levantine people, which would most resemble Jesus, have white skin, not brown. But they are not white Europeans like Germanics, Normans, etc.

Surely they have a common origin?

Re: "a few dozen generations" there are 4,000 years separating Jesus' generation from Adam and Eve through Biblical chronology, plenty of time for humans to biodiversify.

Idk, maybe, but going by the text there are only either 3 sets of 14 (Matthew) or 77 (Luke, and which we know to be a symbolic number likely not meant to be taken literally) - a far cry from the 200 one might assume mathematically - it seems like most of this “biodiversity” is relatively recent.

But fair enough, very little is clear cut in these conversations, and much that one takes for granted may just as readily be tossed aside as junk by another looking to speak on the subject. I think it’s an interesting subject so thanks for posting.

My point is it isn’t totally clear what the speaker believes - he appears to argue simultaneously that the first humans were obviously white while their descendant was obviously not white, though he may just be saying, in response to my last comment, “the reason so many primitive groups mythologize/worship whites is because of Adam and Eve being white”, which isn’t super clear but atleast makes some sense and doesn’t (seemingly) invalidate his arguments in the OP

So Adam and Eve (origin of all humanity, apparently) were white but you think Jesus, just a few dozen generations later, was definitely brown and people who say he was white have a weird claim? I don’t really get the logic

Also, there is an interesting link between whites spread around the globe, giants, and red hair, beyond just the Chinese and Egyptian mummies:

Edit - just realized some fag removed the post, here’s the direct link to the image:

That said, I do think the racial history of the world is far more interesting than the mainstream lets on - there’s a reason so many “primitive” groups worship/are mythically ruled by Whites (e.g. Indians with their Brahmin, South Americans with Quetzalcoatl, Persians with the Aryans, Greeks with the Hyperboreans, and so on) - I think that humanity has risen and fallen in the past, and I think that after such a cataclysm the “advanced” peoples are forced to settle amongst the “primitive” people, primarily for survival reasons

Our society is sick, and even if the disease is a foreign one, it can still infect natives.

Huh, interesting - I’ve seen that game is in the middle of a “moment” right now, but haven’t looked too deeply into it otherwise (idek what genre its gameplay is lol) - if it can nail the themes and vibes in art like this though, I totally understand how it’s earned that moment

I think the image and the quote create a cool juxtaposition

The quote is talking about our myths, and archetypes, and fantasies, and tells us how their reality stems from their ultimately unreal nature. The image likewise shows these same things (our myths, archetypes, and fantasies), but (semi-)realistically drawn, and almost taken at face value.

Hopefully nobody minds this somewhat “untethered” post, drifting along the currents of the zeitgeist

Few more in a similar vein at c/Manna for anyone interested

Wait until you find out they already achieved this goal:

A red meat allergy, also known as Alpha-gal Syndrome (AGS), is a food allergy that can develop after a tick bite, primarily the Lone Star tick.

Fort Detrick, a military installation in Maryland, has been involved in research and studies related to AGS and other tick-borne diseases.

It’s the snowball effect - when a post does well enough here it can show up in the Trending (aka All) feed for communities.win, where it might be seen by people who normally only browse TD, ConPro, IP2, Conspiracies or one of the other boards, but who happen to be browsing via /All

The effects of which would lead to similar production designs in sci-fi eventually spawning …, and more which themselves were foundational designs for … such as …, which included Mark Hamill

its like poetry, they rhyme

Also Star Citizen, if it ever comes out that is

Absolutely (oops, there i go) true, and I think this gets at a really interesting dichotomy between eastern and western ways of thought, which I think this video i posted in the past, on building and design principles (of all things), gets into:

I agree regarding his dialogue - imo he always shone as the “big picture” guy, who created this incredibly rich world (or sandbox) which he lets others “play in”,

Regarding the rest, I think it’s you who is being reductive. First you claim that the mythological depth of the franchise was “accidental”, now you claim it’s overblown and pretentious, I don’t see how both could be true.

And speaking about your hero’s journey like you’ve somehow split the atom

The only reason he’s discussing it is because he was asked about it, after spawning the greatest Epic of the modern world, by basically any metric you want to use

I think this is what the proverbial leftists call “media literacy” -

You'd have to go into the deep expanded universe to find examples of non-Order jedi existing at the same time.

For example, we see Qui-Gon disregard direct orders from the Council regarding training Anakin, which sets up everything to come over the next two generations

I think it’s all there, just perhaps more as subtext to the “pew pew, good versus evil” surface patina that the movies use to ensure their status as blockbusters
