Why Do People Think the Jewish Mythology is "True"?

When I was in middle school, one of my classes covered greek mythology for a day or two. Nobody in the class, not the teacher, nor any of the students treated the material as true or historical. From the start it was framed as fantastical, fictional stuff. The jewish bible though gets completely different treatment, even though many of the biblical stories are cribbed from the same source material as the greek myths or are perhaps a knock off of the greek myths sort of like "Turkish Star Wars" was a knock off of the original.


One of the great examples is the story of Deucalion and Pyrrha and the flood. Zeus gets mad at men and destroys the world with a flood and only two people survive on a boat. The same concept shows up in all sorts of mythologies, including the jewish mythology in the bible. Many people think the bible story is literally true. Some people think it's folk memory of ancient floods following the ice age. Some people think it's astrology based stories about celestial ages. I could rattle off a list of explanations I've heard--really nobody knows. At best, though, it's some kind of folk tale exactly like the greek mythology.

Another one is the stories of Prometheus and Epimetheus. Cain and Abel are a knock off of that story. Another obvious one is Pandora's Box, which is the Adam and Eve story. Each of these stories contains some core elements that are repeated in various mythological systems. The characters have different names. The fantastical objects of the stories vary, but the core concepts remain.

Many "european" descended people, even today, regard the bible as historical verbatim "truth" even though their ancestors had different myths and they even understood those stories had parallels with say greek or roman mythology in the classical world. There's ancient reports of the germanic people associating Odin, for example, with greek Hermes/roman Mercury.

It seems plausible that ancient germanic peoples understood their gods as anthropomorphic representations of mystical forces. Their folk stories are pretty sophisticated and interesting compared to the greek or roman mythology. The story of Mimir's well, for example, or Odin and the runes are somewhat enigmatic with more nuanced and layered meaning. The stories of the greeks and romans and jews are pretty ham fisted and kind of "official".

How is it possible that europeans got suckered into the same type of "belief" scams that possibly plagued the ancient mediterranean peoples--that is an assertion of some type of official "true" story repeated endlessly by conmen priests?

Those scams seem to require infrastructure and associated machinery of the parasitic civilization of the classical world and near east, for example, mega-buildings like cathedrals and large government buildings and sets of officials and priests in gay dressup parties. It's pretty fucking pathetic that the europeans got suckered into feeding the matrix.

Anyway, back to the original question: why did the europeans come to "believe" in jewish stories and forgot all their own? What was the flaw with the european people that allowed an alien predator parasite priest group dominate their minds for 1000+ years?

I really don't have an answer. Another way to frame this question is to look at these type of beliefs as a side effect of certain patterns of human settlement and ways of life. Once there's a city network and agricultural economy, people start to get trained and hypnotized by people like priests or advertisers and just end up believing all sorts of nonsense that keeps the matrix going basically. If people weren't prone to believing such scams, there'd be no cities and the associated infrastructure like cathedrals or churches.

Today the infrastructure like cathedrals is the entertainment industry and news media. That shapes the public consciousness and keeps people doing things that are completely contrary to their personal well being. Institutions like public schools train people to work for corporations like drone slaves of bygone eras. If you read about corporations like Amazon and how they treat employees, it's just astounding this system keeps on going when nobody likes it.

Low Signal to Noise Ratio Info and The "AI" Future

I have a Garmin computer for my bicycle. It tracks a bunch of statistics, like heart rate (with a heart rate monitor) and power (with a power meter) on each ride. Garmin came up with some algorithms to try to calculate "fitness" and recommend training routines, etc... but the output of those algorithms seems like garbage. The default setup of the garmin fitness stuff is to be "invasive" for lack of a better word with the automated tracking. It's pretty tedious.

For example, I can tell how tired I am when I wake up in the morning and then if I head out to ride during the day, I can tell how fried my legs are when I ride down the driveway. If I did a really difficult ride the previous day and I'm not fully recovered, I can tell instantly. The garmin, though, makes some kind of calculation about fresh/tired and presents a number like "+4" which means super fresh, and "-4" which means really tired. Generally the number it spits out doesn't match my feeling at all. I just ignore it.

Anyway, I think people react to the garmin advice and information in two different ways. Some people "believe" what the algorithms spew out. Some people just ignore it, or take the time to configure their gizmo so it is silent. I left it on for a while to see if any of the info is useful, and some of it is, but mostly it's trash.

Most of the info provided by "the science" is exactly like the garmin's info. Data and calculations are involved, but the conclusions are garbage. The vaccine efficacy calculations for COVID were utter nonsense, for example. The initial studies were like 8th grader designed experiments. All the food intake and health outcome studies are very bogus too.

If you look at this class of data analysis problem from the perspective of information theory and a concept like signal-to-noise ratio, it becomes really clear why the conclusions about whether coffee is "good" or "bad" or if vaccines work or not or how much training to do are utter bullshit.

A common problem with these studies is the "signal" can be characterized, but the noise level can't be. Without knowing both things the "information" obtained by analysis of some data is worthless. There's hardly anything that falls into the "knowable", that is determining if a signal is 0 or 1, category in the real world.

"Right Wing" Supporters of Israel

I see some Israel flags hanging from houses in my 99.9% white dude county. I assume there are some jewish people who live here, but not many, and I've never seen an Israel flag hanging from a house here until recently.

Why are people hanging the flags on their homes if they're not jews?

I have dropped off social media completely over the past year or so, unless you count youtube as social media, so I'm not up to date on the daily lies and narratives spewed by corporations, governments, and the like anymore, but I noticed a couple of headlines and some video titles on youtube that suggest a plausible explanation for the israel flags on white dude houses.

It looks like the narrative from the zionist jews is that "the left" supports the Palestinians as part of wokeness, rather than they dislike a government murdering thousands of civilians and stealing their stuff. I guess some "right" leaning people always want to jump on a side against the "woke" commies.

Guess who the woke commies are and where communism came from? A whole shit pile of jewish intellectuals and psychos who murdered millions of people in the 20th century. So you get to "choose" sides between jew mafia A and jew mafia B if you want to "join" a side.

Are all jews in the jew mafias? Of course not. In fact I think the jew mafias show how being an ethnic booster is pretty retarded. Kurt Vonnegut had a fake word "granfaloon" that described the madness of being part of a group like that, which springs to my mind all the time because it's so common.

It boggles my mind that the "leaders" of these jew mafias have their propaganda on blast 24/7 and have been doing that for thousands of years, not only on their own people, but on anyone who would listen to their insanity. However, once you see the lies, it's very obvious and absurd.

I assume there's other ethnic and religious groups spewing narratives all the time as well, but it's orders of magnitude less than the jew mafia propaganda. I recently chucked their bible into the trash and it felt quite good, but that's a minuscule fraction of all the lies that people are exposed to their whole lives from all sorts of sources. I think it's all but impossible to be as cynical as the world of lies warrants.

Garlic and Vampires Again

 Last year I harvested a bumper crop of garlic and sold some from a roadside stand. I composted most of the grade B, C garlic... but it doesn't compost. It just grows and grows like a weed. Almost every garlic plant I composted grew, so I had to pull them all and leave them in the sun. The surefire way to kill them would be to burn them, I guess.

The association between garlic and vampires in the vampire mythos is pretty interesting.

The vampire is a rehashed greek mythology character: Hades or Pluto, the king of the dead. Pluto is the god of wealth and the underworld/world of death and the dead, aka winter. In older movie depictions of vampires, count dracula is after the blood of young virgin women just as Pluto/Hades abducts Persephone, the goddess of spring (really young spring plants), who is the daughter of Demeter, goddess of the harvest.

Why garlic? The kernel of the vampire story seems to be a folk interpretation of the disease porphyria, aka "the vampire disease". People who suffer from that genetic malady have an aversion to any food that contains sulfur--garlic does.

I think garlic obtained its place in the vampire myth, though, because it grows through the winter and is basically indestructible, like the vampire character. Since the vampire is a rehashed underworld/Pluto character, who embodies the dead world of winter, a plant that grows through the winter would be a good totem against such a character.

Anyway, the thing that's interesting about these legends and myths is how the core ideas mutate, split, merge and grow over time. Also novel story elements that don't really work, or fit with the overall scheme are discarded and forgotten. For example, in some versions of the vampire lore, silver is effective against vampires, but that really doesn't fit in with the overall schema of the vampire story, so it is eventually deleted.

Priests and Politicians

Priests and politicians are the two worst categories of people on earth. They're both byproducts of mass society and its associated delusions. The priests and politicians and all their delusional followers are all about "belief", that is living life according to some made up narrative about reality, instead of living in reality.

Politicians have led countless of millions of people to their deaths in wars for "their country". Willingness to "die for your country" is supposed to be a good and honorable trait instead of pure insanity.

Priests basically just rant about very old comic book stories and collect money. I guess that's what the movie industry does as well, so it makes sense. The priests probably morphed into a category from the ancient entertainment industry.

Anyway, having realized the politicians are scum and the priests are probably worse than them as a category of human, my life has become much simpler. I avoid investing any energy in political controversy and realize the "sides" in every conflict are insane retards.

There are protests on college campuses about the awful jew government in "Israel", the most delusional retard country on earth. It's a bunch of people who imagine their belief and their stupid stories are superior to reality, and if you don't nod along those tyrant weirdos will condemn you. If you're their unfortunate neighbors, they'll kill you and steal your stuff.

Their insanity has spilled over into the shitty US congress. The house of representatives passed a bill about antisemitism recently. It's obviously unconstitutional, but they dutifully voted for it.

"Antisemitism" is all about "belief" in a bunch of stories (aka lies) concocted by jew priests, or the equivalent. It's not necessary to argue against those maniacs. It's not really possible for most normal people to invest so much energy in lies or refuting them. Anyway, that's the wrong thing to do. Once I realized everything they say is a lie, it's not necessary to mentally negate it or engage at all in their insane belief game.

It's better to devote time and energy to real 3D reality and study that instead. All the time spent on that, is time not spent on the beliefs of priests and politicians. If everyone did it, those people would be out on the street where they belong.
