https://www.youtube.com/@voynichtalkHow fucking autistic do you have to be to create a Youtube channel, entirely dedicated to one single medieval manuscript?Speaking of medieval manuscripts, I've been very obsessed with a single word related to them recently: palimpsest. Not because it sounds funny, rather, because it's related to my work -- program analysis and compilers and optimization and stuff like that -- a "palimpsest" refers to a manuscript that has been wiped out, cleaned, and rewritten over. Think, that manuscript of Archenemies that some retarded monk "palimpsest'd" over back in the 13th century, losing us the only work of the polymath remaining past the antiquity.Also, it makes me think, the only reason Westoids invented movable type press -- and emphasis on 'movable' because non-movable type press, e.g. stamps created on wood, had been in use since the 10th century in places like Iran.The reason Iranians (and Turks) did not warmly receive movable press was not that they were too retarded to build a machine. Armenians in Isfahan built one just 40-60 years after Gutenberg. And keep in mind that, engravings were popular here, and there were machines to print them.People believed that the Arabic script, and by extension, the Persian script (which has 4 extra letters, plus some cursory differences) is 'sacred' because Quran is written in it. So a 'soulless machine' being used to print it, that would be blasphemy, of some sort.Not to mention, first off, the Nasta'liq script which was popular at the time could not have been carried over to movable type, and plus, we had a guild of scribes, called the "Mirza Benvis" guild, who made you a manuscript for cheap, in no time.But in West, you had to sell your house to get a manuscript written by a monk. Paper was more expensive. So there.It was not the 'book' that made modern Europe, it was the 'pamphlet'. My great-grandfather published pamphlets. He was a cleric, and he had some weird beliefs.

>>217771561Yeah, sure, Mohammad, a merchant who did the bookkeeping for his wife 25 years his senior, would have never grasped the opportunity to bring in a machine he could sell to people.Not to mention, instead of having people memorize his poems or whatever, he could just publish them as a pamphlet.I think if Mohammad has access to a Spreadsheet software, he would have never began his prophecy. He would have been too busy optimizing his wife's net income.lol.I think you're some third generation immigrant from an Islamic country. Or someone from an Islamic country using a VPN. It's so blaze for a 'white' Westoid to be anti-Islam these days. That's so 2010s.
I thought it was haram to draw people and animals.
