I think I told you what initially led me to this path, which is essentially in agreement with you. If not I will share here for anyone else who may find it interesting. ( I will be very short)

I was evaluating human cognition and behavioral modernity, including concepts like Chomsky- language acquisition device ( LAD) and natural law.

Keeping the nugget that Musk mentioned about writing , and the coincidental simultaneous rise of it in numerous places after the last ice age..

What is the probability that humans after eons of evolving neural architecture developed writing in separate non connected places at relatively the same time?

After my research not only did I find this to be highly unlikely, but I can to the understanding that humans most likely have had the ability to write for hundreds of thousands of years. This is based upon the mechanisms that give is the ability to even perform such a complicated tasks. Naturally, one explanation is that writing had not become formalized and was not antifragile.. which I do indeed suspect is part of the equation..

But..

There is so much more , Musk is right there are many rabbit holes.

Since then I filtered through many things and it is clear that the space ... well... it is a narrative battleground. I have said this elsewhere, but this whole topic has more red flags than the JFK narrative.

I don't know what it all means, obviously i have speculations.. but global civilization didn't begin 6k years ago and whatever caused this interruption of the human historical timeline seems very much to be coming again in the near time horizon.

David, do you think they are going to use Musk to tell us something or is this just more noise in the aether?

As we have discussed, at this point it is probably better they don't in mass I think. ( Which is an odd change of sentiment for me)
