Most normies don't *really* believe in their heart that history past about 300 years ago or so even happened.

I asked my grandmother the other day if she believed George Washington ever existed and she said it was unknowable.

OP, it's good to be skeptic about everything. If you genuinely and blindly believe about everything a coalition tells you, that only tells us that you are gullible.

But then again, how do you form a semi-coherent vision of the world we live in without knowing one of the possible histories of the world? You don't.
That's why it's good to absorb as many informations as possible and to then draw your own conclusions.

Yeah, Latin was invented by Russians in the 13th century.

Idk about that in general but post-industrial revolution the human psyche has definitely been radically altered. Low infant mortality, access to electricity, abundant food. Then there's the psychological effects of mass media. Counter-culture would have never ocurred without television, I'm convinced of that

People under 90 IQ just kind of go along with the rest of society but they generally believe most of science is just made up bullshit. Atoms and Molecules? GTFO with that stupid-ass nonsense.
>>
>>18011517
I mean germ theory is also pretty recent but from my observation the "90 IQ masses" are not ignorant of it. I don't think something like germophobia is more likely to occur in someone intelligent
>>
>>18011419
It doesn't matter. They're held in a cocoon of ingenious design, layer after layer of human engineering that protects against all threats and all urgency. The only reason you'd need to know old history like that is if you're some kind of novelist or social scientist.

>>18011522
Germs are far more tangible than atoms.

>>18011419

Our only references to real life history are our parents and grand parents, with only a few getting to meet their great grand parents (and usually only one of the eight of them).
>>
For most, history older than 300 years feels more like legends than lived reality, even if they intellectually accept it happened.
>>
Tbh all of history before the invention of television might as well have taken place on another planet
>>
>>18011419
It's closer than that, anything before 1939 is just lore, or background info to contextualise WW2, with history only happening after 1945
>>
>>18011454
It’s obvious to me that “medieval europe” and the “classical antique Mediterranean” happened at the same time and were just simply two different civilizations
>>

>>18011522
I have spoken to many normies who openly say they believe that a ton of science is fake. Like for example that guy’s atom example. My uncle (normcow) told me that atoms were fake and were made up for kids so they could feel smart. Lmao

kind of like /pol/tard Holocaust deniers. most of them are also under 90 IQ.
>>
that also explains why brown people are very prone to conspiracy theories. most of them are extremely low IQ.
>>
Even worse, normies think 500 years of history is a lot. Especially northern europeans

I saw a vision of the future in this movie, The Love Witch. A world without Faustian spirit. I was impressed, it's easy to make a dystopian hell future, not so easy to make one different from IRL yet good.

in:
>enjoyment of life
>emotional fulfilment
>spirituality
>beauty
>feminine leadership
>festivals
>nice things
>magical thinking
>psychedelics
>one vast forested California landscape broken by the occasional town

out:
>knowing what year it is
>knowing what country you live in
>knowing how anything works
>government
>technology beyond a 50s car and low voltage flip phone
>cities
>empiricism
>male leadership
>knowing the past

I never realized the transition to Eloi and Morlock was so near at hand. This movie even makes it appealing.
