Sharing, with a Highlight


Genes hiding among the junk: The Dark Proteome
Biblical Genetics | 4 Febr. 2025
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbTgzoNtyLc


if there's a mutation in 7:31 there that like deletes a single letter 7:33 or adds two letters you have what's 7:35 called a frame shift mutation and a 7:37 frame shift usually destroys the protein 7:39 because as soon as you shift out of 7:41 frame you're into random territory and 7:43 it's only going to be probably maybe 20 7:45 codons later before you get a stop 7:47 codon


So, frame shift mutations are NOT a very probable source of new information, I presume?

He's Treating the Concept of Greek, Like Some Treat That of Palestinians


Upfront, I don't know the answer to the original question, I just know that the original answer by B G-13 is wrong. And it parallels how some Zionists are wrong about Palestinians.

Question: How did Greek influence shape the development of Church Slavonic?

1.There was no such thing as Church Slavonic ,it was ans still is Old Church Bulgarian

2.Slavic ,Slavonic is a term in use since 16th.c

3. No such nationality as greek one in 10th.c

What are you even talking about?

Hans-Georg Lundahl

There was certainly a language called Greek in the 10th C.

And there were certainly Greek populations.

Perhaps you mean there was no exclusively Greek state, true. But your wording suggests more than that.

Really ? Show me a genuine map with Greece on it in 10th.c then ! I guarantee you that you won't find a single genuine with the word Greece on it before 15th.c,16th.c .

If there was a such thing as “ancient Greeks “ that should be on sipme maps, or are you trying to tell me that ancient Greeks somehow missed to make a map of its own territory and rest of the world too?

So are you saying that there were “ancient Greeks “ but they never managed to have own state?

What are you even talking about ?

Hans-Georg Lundahl

I’m sorry, but “a map with a country named Greece” is simply the wrong criterium.

Greek doesn’t primarily mean “citizen of a country named Greece” it means “ethnic of the Greek ethnicity” …. which can obviously exist very well without there being any country named Greece.

The Ancient Greeks had several different states in the time of Pericles, just as 14th C. Italians also had several different states.

No it isn't a wrong criteria,simply because if there was an ancient Greeks as they claim to be an advanced civilisation, they would've be able to crate a nap with own territories, also others would've mentioned them .

Hans-Georg Lundahl
13h
Others did mention them.

Like the Romans.

B G-13

There is no such thing as greek ethnicity !

The word Greci( greeks) is Roman and applied in late period of Rumelia ,where the nationality was Rum,over immigrants from East Africa as Beotians,only !

Hans-Georg Lundahl
13h
It applied in a very early people to the nationality later called Rum by Turks and Arabs, because the Greek ethnics had become Roman citizens.

6.II.2025

B G-13
There is no such thing as Greek ethnicity! Nor greek nationality. And it is a lie that Ottoman applied the term Rum ,you guys were called yourself Rum up to 18th.c even nowadays!

Hans-Georg Lundahl
You mean the term “Rhomaioi”?

Yes, but only since Romans conquered them. This happened in the last centuries preceding Christ.

Thanks for taking me for a Greek, it’s a compliment, but I’m actually Swede.

B G-13
Tue
So your criteria for ancient world is 10th.c ? Don't make laugh buddy !

Hans-Georg Lundahl
13h
I was not answering your point about “ancient Greeks” here, but the one about “10th C.”

Not my fault if you can’t keep track of what you wrote yourself, or what a certain thing of mine was answering. A tip for later, the latter is apparent in how comments under a Quora answer are nested.

6.II.2025

B G-13
Greek is. ROMAN word for immigrants from East Africa as the Beotians( dull,dumb) ,not a nationality

Hellas - not nationality either ,but a term for immigrants from Egypt into a cult towards Egyption El,which is Ethiopean Helios ,it is a religous term

Now show me a GENUINE map with Greece on it in 10th.c then? Hahaha! I bet you that you won't find any GENUINE map with Greece on it before 16th.,or 1829 for sure!

When you realise that there is not a single GENUINE map with Greece on it before 16th.c or 1829 ,then tell me how come 🤔 ancient ppl as Greek never to be on a map up to 18th.c ?

Answer is so simple ,there was no such thing as ancient Greece at all !

Go on ,I'm waiting for your to prove me ancient Greek existence.

Hans-Georg Lundahl
I’m waiting for you to ditch fake criteria.

Boeotians was by the way not originally anything meaning dumb, it was precisely a sub-group of the Greek nationality. With an originally Phoenician enclave.

For ancient times, there isn’t even very much called “maps” to begin with. A few mainly lost ones or preserved in Medieval copies. You get tables with road distances from place to place, only places are named, not regions, in the Roman Empire.

9.II.2025

B G-13
So anyway, all I'm asking you for a SINGLE GENUINE map with Greece on it before 16th.c or 1829 ,only saying that “ a few maps” a left it doesn't change the fact that “ ancient greece” doesn't exist in any map, but why ? Simply because there was no such thing as ancient Greece! As simple as that!

Roman were calling the Beotians dull and dumb ,this doesn't mean that the term beotian had a such meaning, and no ,the beotians were not part of a nation called Greeks, because there was no such nation as Greek, but the Romans got them this nickname Greci ,which had a negative meaning ,and yes they were immigrants from East Africa, mixed ppl

Hans-Georg Lundahl
Ancient maps are usually illustrations of geography books, except the practical maps, like Tabula Peutingeriana.

BOTH of them lacked country names.

The question isn’t if the map in Ptolemy’s Geography book had the word Hellas or in Latin translation Graecia. The question is if the geography book itself contained the word in the text.

I think it did. Lots of other texts from back then did, and yes, I have read ANCIENT Greek. Just ten minutes ago someone was asking me about completing a sentence in MODERN Greek, which is as different from the former as Italian from Latin. I haven’t read Modern Greek. I have read ancient texts, some in Greek, more in Latin and even more than that in translation.

ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ πατάξαι ᾿Αλέξανδρον τὸν Φιλίππου τὸν Μακεδόνα, ὃς ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τῆς γῆς Χεττειείμ, καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν Δαρεῖον βασιλέα Περσῶν καὶ Μήδων καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν ἀντ᾿ αὐτοῦ πρότερος ἐπὶ τὴν ῾Ελλάδα.

Et factum est, postquam percussit Alexander Philippi Macedo, qui primus regnavit in Graecia, egressus de terra Cethim, Darium regem Persarum et Medorum

Now it came to pass, after that Alexander the son of Philip the Macedonian, who first reigned in Greece, coming out of the land of Cethim, had overthrown Darius king of the Persians and Medes
[1 Machabees 1:1]

B G-13
Also Kingdom of Macedon isn't Javan( the indigenous ppl from the region Macedonia) ,but it has been named up after the region after attacking the Javan( Macedonians) and conquering part of the region .

Hans-Georg Lundahl
I think the text says that Macedon is Cethim.

Javan, south of Macedon, is Greece.


He also tried showing ancient Greek art from 5th C BC with faces of Black People (coins and vases). This suggests Greeks knew of their existence, but not that they were the main stock of the Greek.

Alice Cappelle may Have a Point


in defense of wokism.

Woke and right wing have a common opponent.

When Islam polices people.

Tell the right wing, the way to go to dis-Islamise the West is primarily to get people like the homeless freedom and dignity (in that order, otherwise someone will pretend to dignity with loss of freedom so someone can be even more policed).

14:57 I know another discourse that worked very similar.

In Copenhagen, I was among homeless. One night people had thrown stones into the night shelter where I had slept on the floor.

The ones doing that were very clearly Muslims, who thought:

  • our lives will continue to suck
  • but we will at least be above those lazy and alcoholic and drug addicted homeless.


23:16 Is standpoint epistemology supposed to secure the status of the good? Or of the true?

There may be some cases where it is legitimate, but first there must be epistemology simpliciter.

Standpoint epistemology is pretty much the ad hominem that C. S. Lewis called Bulverism. Unless I've misunderstood what she means by it.

Is This Karl Keating's Son?


Here:

@EnlightenedView
The Influence of Aristotle on the Catholic Church and Galileo's Conflict - Brian Keating JRE
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LSqq8HleyQ4


Here is my reply:

St. Paul approves the Aristotelian proof of God which is also Prima Via of St. Thomas.

When it comes to other detail, you forget totally that:
  • on other detail, like Moons of Jupiter, Galileo was free to contradict Aristotle from observation
  • while Geocentrism actually is observation.

Against an Incompetent and Biassed View of Old Age in the Middle Ages


Surviving the Middle Ages as an Old Person...
MedievalMadness | 11 Aug. 2023
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqGQRmZ4W1g


1:02 You are citing two very disparate types of data from Georges Minoy.

The 5th C. data gives a medium age of death, but you have not clarified what it was based on. Also, it's very probable that the first cause lowering the medium lifespan was child mortality, the second was death of women in child labour or in infections post partum. This has no bearing on how old you could get.

The 9th C. data seems highly well documented, but you are not giving a medium lifespan of people born at the same year, and the low percentage of people over 60 is first of all not all that low, and second, could well be due to having lots of children, so that the younger generations outnumber the older.

It is very probable that between 5th and 9th C. child mortality went down. It is not totally improbable that Georges Minoy even indicated that, and you cite him selectively.

1:17 If serfs, who are clearly common people, could include 11 % people over 60, it stands to reason that living above 50 is not unusual.

The shortness of people is not an indicator of their medium age at death.

1:22 For more privileged Medievals, as in nobility or royalty, I would say there was even a chance of living a shorter life than if they had been common or clergy.

For royalty, I tend to get a 56 year median. For non-royal known people a 65 year median.

For instance some ancestry back to the 4 or 8 ancestors in relation to St. Lewis IX of France, and his wife, and children born of them, I get 55 years. For those dying outside childhood and outside childbirth, the minimum was 20, the lower quartile 39/40 (depending on insecurities of exact age), the median 55, higher quartile 63, maximum 75. Sample size 51 persons.*

Compared to 2 dead in childbirth, one at 18, one at 20, and for children and teens dying, I count it to 17.

Compare that to a sample of men connected to the university of Paris, I think I took in some side issues, and I get a sample size of 117 men, where according to shorter and longer versions of their lifespans I get:

33 — 55 — 65 — 72 — 96
36 — 57 — 65 — 72 — 96.**

** Et le Moyen Âge? Hormis royautés (ten years ago, to the day)

Answer to Jews for Jesus


Can Anything Good Come From Nazareth? | Miri's Testimony
SO BE IT! | 3 Febr. 2025
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZbKO4pzAF4


If you want to know where the inn of the Good Samaritan is, where the oil and wine of sacraments are used to heal the wounds of man, you can ask a Palestinian Christian.

In Nazareth, I'm pretty sure some Jews would be aware that they were there first, and they even might have some kind of inkling tghat they have lived there for 2000 years and are some of the earliest populations of Jews for Jesus (or, if you prefer, Galileans for Jesus, or, as the Bible say, men of Galilee). Such Jews might kind of have an ulterior motive to consider a Christian as a bogedet.

10:35 Who we are and our sins are two different things.

God will usually not deliver us from venial sins in this life, but if you confess your mortal sins to a priest and God forgives them and you aren't delivered from them, either you or the priest is doing something very wrong.

I will not name the sin from which I'm pretty much delivered since decades, but it's often committed by people not in a couple and it is not by impotence that I was delivered (though some of the people around me seem to try to be working on that).

God intends to deliver so and so from so and so's sins, not from so and so's character. Or personality.

10:42 And our deal Lord Jesus Christ is not covering up from the outside so the Father doesn't see us, He sees heart and kidneys.

He's clothing us in righteousness, and changing us from inside.

Ephesians 2 verses 8 and 9 is not a valid Bible passage. Ephesians 2, verses 8, 9 and 10 is.

10:30 Just to clarify in case there is some kind of allusion.

I was not kicked out from my family, I'm not in abuse of alcohol or any use of the usually illicit drugs, alcohol is a substance God created and which is clearly licit to use in moderation, as we know from Our Lord's first public miracle. And from the law. And from St. Paul's words to St. Tim. And from Catholic tradition.

I don't believe sharing the faith is primarily sharing my story.

There are so many better stories to share, and I usually sign full length articles with one line each for my own name and the place (often Paris), then two lines for the date: the saint of the day (or one I pick), and the Mathematic description of the day. Like St. Blasius, one line, 3.II.2025, last line of my signature.

There is another reason too. I don't actually know the menue of Patel. But I'm pretty well aware of the menue at a China Food takeaway. If I wanted to recommend it to someone, I obviously might mention they have great sushi, the salmon with avocado one is excellent, but I'd be uncharitable if that was all I said about it, there are actually very good prawn tempuras (yes, tempura is Jap food, but they still have it), they have a thing with beef and cheese which I haven't tasted, they have beef dishes, chicken dishes, and so on ... why should I just stick with my own experience when my receptive capacity is limited?

Speaking of tempura, while the dies quattuor temporum after Epiphany are over, I missed out due to throat-ache, (dear St. Blasius pray for me), Lent is around the corner, and Our Lord didn't say "if you fast" but "when you fast" ...

Biggest Catholic Prayer App In The World BANNED
Return To Tradition | 3 Febr. 2025
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsL9fHVcA7A


I'm in France.

I know some things about France. Catholics are no longer an absolute majority, only a relative majority and even that only among those whose religion is recognised as one. 51 % are Secularists, which is not recognised as a religion, or technically, 51 % are Nones, but many of them would be Secularists. 29 % are Catholics.

Now, it so happens, Protestantism has a kind of deal with Secularism in countries where it is a minority.

Some Protestants are concerned that Hypnosis is occultism, simply as such, i e simply because it induces the alpha state or in some cases the theta state. They would take that as unauthorised access to the spiritual world, comparable to unauthorised communication with the dead, and therefore likely to get someone abused by demons.

They also have a very longstanding opposition to the Rosary. Not so much the Anglicans and Lutherans of Northern Europe, you will even find Lutheran "rosaries" without the Hail Mary, but with meditations on Jesus' life, and probably repetitive prayers.

Now, many of the Protestants I speak of would connect the two.

And when you are praying, speak not much, as the heathens. For they think that in their much speaking they may be heard
[Matthew 6:7]


This is the Douay in the online revision. The Latin is even clearer, it is about making speeches:

Orantes autem, nolite multum loqui, sicut ethnici, putant enim quod in multiloquio suo exaudiantur
[Matthew 6:7]


Multiloquium is pretty obviously about heaping together different phrases and never getting to the point. Not about repeating a short prayer, even to the point of a slight alpha state. St. Thomas actually considers a deeper hypnotic state desireable, he considers that a "consequent passion" (if you would call the hypnotic state a passion, I don't know, but it is comparable in some ways) makes the deliberate act more laudable if good or more reprehensible if bad. When discussing the humanity of "idiots" (i e people with Down's syndrome or similar) he said that they could continue praying without noticing a hand put in front of them, so, deep prayer. Probably he had tested while among the Benedictines in his teens. Now, the point is, the idea that repetitive prayer is good and alpha state at least in prayer is good, is a Catholic idea. It is not shared by Protestants.

Some Waldensians may be wary of it, because of so many not just Albigensians, but also Waldensians (though fewer) returning to the Church when praying the Rosary with St. Dominic. Calvin may have had a personal reason to be wary, if he had been homosexually abused while in a hypnotic state. One John Calvin (or Jean Cauvin) was branded in Noyon, where Calvin is from, in 1534, a year in which he could have been there at least for a visit. It could have been another guy, but ... if the person had been consenting very deliberately to sodomy, he would have been executed, not just branded. So, that person had presumably consented under circumstances lowering the ability to consent to things not foreseen before enterting in such state. One of the states being of course the hypnotic. John Calvin, the Reformer, unlike Luther, took away Confession totally, not just the general obligation. Confession is somewhat akin to hypnotherapy. John Calvin also went after Gregorian Chant and the Rosary, again things that involve a likelihood of alpha state, and when it comes to the Rosary, or repetitive prayers, he even inserted it in the Bible. Luther mistranslated Luke 1:28 and a verse of Romans 3. Calvin mistranslated Matthew 6:7. Here are the consecutive English versions that mention "repetitions", namely:

Also when ye pray, use no vain repetitions as the Heathen: for they think to be heard for their much babbling. 1599 Geneva Bible.
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Authorised King James


Bible Gateway leaves out earlier edition of Geneva Bible in NT published 1557 and the Bishops' Bible 1568.

The Geneva Bible was obviously a translation from Calvin / Beza in Geneva who had written theirs in French.

Now, Secularism places other religions instead of Catholicism or other traditional supernatural things. One of them is Progress, one of them is Medicine. Chinese and Protestants both have a dispropoprtionate influence in the Medical field over here.

So Chinese Communists and Calvinists target the alpha state and infiltrate medicine, Medicine then influences legislation, like we saw during the Covid Mandates.

On top of that, some in the Russian and Ukrainian, generally East European, expat communities in France would be perfectly able to repeat a Putin like blunder in going after Alex Jones (a Catholic in Chicago) in the purpose of going after Alex Jones (a Protestant and Conspiracy Theorist of Dallas). They would be perfectly able to make a spin on this and imagine that conspiracy theories to the level they would want to treat as pathologic paranoia are spread by the alpha state in the Rosary on the app.

They would also be perfectly able to base this on case studies about me, while my poverty has been used so I can continue to be an easy target for observers, while you guys have thought I shouldn't earn money of my writings anyway, so you don't owe me anything (except perhaps prayers, and there is a likelihood you would pray for the wrong things).
