A century ago, ancient Indian history was unknown. Then a major discovery was made in deserted areas in western cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro that pushed the dating to 4000 years ago.
The recent excavations once again could change the direction of Indian history. A thread.
The initial sites discovered were the part of India what is currently Pakistan. However, as the new Indian republic started putting effort on archeology, this Harappan culture was found across the Indus river area. In 1954 was found the city of Lothal. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lothal
Now, it was no longer just Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, but seen as Indus Valley civilization with sites such as Kalibangan in Rajasthan and Dholavira in Gujarat.
In all my years of doing evolutionary research on mate choice, many journalists would ask for advice for their readers on dating. I always replied that our work was about understanding human evolution at species level, not about what's right or best for individuals. 1/
It was to me unethical to even try as to do so would always fall foul of the naturalistic fallacy in application by individuals, even if not in my intent. I don't even need one hand to count the pop sci writers who could thread that needle well and neither are part of this.
2/
Once you factor in how major assumptions and studies have been toppling recently as our methods improve and samples diversify, and it feels doubly unethical to turn anything into dating advice right now.

Meredith Kline, the Image of God, and confessional subscription: A thread
This one holds a special place in my heart because it’s where it all began—the day I first discovered that Kline might not be as historic confessional Reformed as I had been told. 1/18
So there I was, in my first year at WSCAL in the Biblical Theology and Canon course. It is a foundational course to the curriculum where issues of canon and covenant theology are dealt with. It is a prerequisite for all other Old Testament courses. 2/18
And that foundation is built on, you guessed it, Meredith Kline. Kingdom Prologue, Images of the Spirit, The Structure of Biblical Authority, half of the posthumous Genesis commentary, and some articles and shorter works are assigned and favorably reviewed in the course. 3/18

The consequence of NOT saying “…and the Son” obviously has theologically implications and consequences, but what I don’t see recognized (as yet) are the geopolitical, ontological and metaphysical ones. How this translates through to the civic level of operation. I’m no theologian and am not attempting a theological discussion per se here, but rather, looking at the downstream consequences in operation. Forgive me if I make specific theological mistakes due to my own ignorance or misunderstanding, I’m trying to get to the specifics of the consequences in civic application for both believers AND non believers. Please bear with me in this thread, as I try to work through this and of course, for the theology, please seek clarification from the theologians themselves. My focus is as ever, downstream civic consequences in practise.
2/ In the Nicene Creed as recited in the East, the Holy Spirit proceeds:
“…from the Father.”
In the West (since the 6th–11th centuries), the Creed includes:
“…from the Father and the Son.”
This is the Filioque clause. The Filioque is not a linguistic dispute; it is an ontological one.
It concerns the inner life of God Himself; the procession of Persons within the Trinity.
3/ Removing “and the Son” does three things in this context:
It symbolically yields the Western (Latin) tradition to the Eastern one. In this setting - on the site of Nicea - the optics are of Rome capitulating to Constantinople’s original form.
It erases 1,000+ years of doctrinal development that differentiated East and West. The Filioque was the clearest theological marker of the Western metaphysical grammar.
It signals a move toward a “lowest common denominator” creed - acceptable to all branches of Christianity - thus softening the particularities of each tradition. Not saying “and the Son” is an act of theological flattening.
Un escenario que cada vez veo más probable en la transición hacia la Singularidad es que ocurra justo lo contrario a lo que la mayoría de libros de ciencia ficción pintaban: que los humanos sean los robots para las máquinas, y no al revés.
Creo que estamos entrando en un "periodo intermedio" donde nos veremos relegados a actuar como periféricos para las inteligencias artificiales. La lógica es la siguiente: la inteligencia abstracta humana (matemáticas, razonamiento, código) está sufriendo una devaluación acelerada; solo hay que charlar un rato con modelos actuales como Gemini 3 Pro u Opus 4.5 para verlo. Por otro lado, la interacción con el mundo físico sigue y seguirá siendo una pesadilla de ingeniería.
Esto no es del todo sorprendente porque la percepción y la locomoción han sido relevantes en el proceso evolutivo durante muchos millones de años, mientras que la inteligencia abstracta es muy reciente. Es de esperar que el cerebro no esté muy optimizado para este tipo de tareas (Paradoja de Moravec).
Si os fijáis, ya podemos ver pinceladas de esta nueva economía en nuestras calles. Plataformas como Uber o Glovo funcionan, en esencia, como algoritmos gestionando flotas de humanos que actúan como robots biológicos para interactuar con el mundo real porque aún no hay robots mecánicos para sustituirlos.
Esta transición ocurrirá de forma imparable debido a la evolución entrópica del tecnocapitalismo. La selección natural no se detiene en la biología; las presiones competitivas del mercado favorecerán a las empresas que actúen de manera más eficiente. En este entorno, la configuración donde las IAs piensan y el humano ejecuta será la que maximiza el "Darwinian fitness", desplazando inevitablemente a cualquier otra forma de organización menos optimizada.
En resumen: nos dirigimos hacia una economía de transición donde las inteligencias artificiales asumirán el papel cognitivo, relegando a los humanos, de forma transitoria, al papel de "robots ejecutores", valorados únicamente por nuestra capacidad para salvar la complejidad del entorno físico que las máquinas aún no pueden resolver.
Para quien le interese esto, Dan Hendrycks ha escrito bastantes sobre este tema. Aunque no comparto todo lo que dice, es recomendable de leer.
Les prévisions démographiques de l'ONU sont nazes, et se révèlent fausses chaque année. Elles imaginent un redressement radical HIER. Faisons des prévisions réalistes pour la France et l'Allemagne, afin de voir comment le centre démographique et donc potentiellement de pouvoir de l'Europe pourrait basculer ce siècle. (1/6)
Les hypothèses : l'Allemagne est à 1,4 enfants par femme, la France à 1,6. Ces chiffres tombent très vite. Il est probable donc qu'au lieu de remonter, l'Allemagne converge vers les 1 enfant par femme (Asie de l4est d'aujourd'hui, etc.) et la France vers 1,2 (Europe du Sud d'aujourd'hui.)
Enlevons la variable migratoire, qui est une immense inconnue ce siècle, car très dépendante des décisions politiques à venir.
Avec ces hypothèses, nous arrivons à une convergence des populations françaises et allemandes descendantes des populations d'aujourd'hui autour de 55 millions à la fin du siècle.
Maintenant intéressons-nous à la population en âge de travailler, dont dépend la puissance économique (scénario sans révolution robotique/IA totalement radicale. Le but est d'avoir des chiffres en tête, pas de modéliser toutes les variables.)
En 2090, la population active française sera égale à la population active allemande. Autour de 27 millions, contre 54 aujourd'hui pour l'Allemagne, et 41 pour la France. (3/6)
THREAD: How bullion banks can end up with naked short positions if physical demand keeps rising 1/9 Bullion banks sell a lot of paper #silver (futures contracts).
But they don’t need to have all the silver physically sitting in a vault.
They only keep a small amount and assume most people won’t ask for real metal.
This works fine as long as everyone is trading paper.
2/ When banks go short on futures, they usually hedge their position with:
• Some physical silver
• Metal they have borrowed
• Metal they expect to buy later
• Other financial contracts
So normally, these shorts are covered, not naked.
3/ The problem starts when more people ask to take delivery of real silver instead of rolling the contract forward.
This forces banks to actually supply metal, not just settle on paper.
If many people suddenly say:
No cash, no rollover. I want the real silver
then the system gets stressed.

1/6 Belgium is helping Russia in its war against Ukraine.
How? It is the final obstacle preventing Ukraine from accessing Russia’s frozen assets.
Does Belgium want to be remembered as Russia’s helper?
2/6 Belgium is still blocking Russia’s frozen assets from being transferred to Ukraine, constantly finding new excuses to help Russia.
Does Belgium want to be remembered as the country that made Ukraine and Europe lose to Russia?
3/6 Belgium has been blocking this for months. It is the only country left doing so.
First, it used legal fears as an excuse. Europe worked to address those concerns, even with help from Norway. After that, Belgium's PM De Wever found new excuses, and Trump provided them to him
A 1980 Snowy Night Discovery in Princeton University Archives, A NASA Study Few Have Ever Seen.
I’ll make it as exciting as it was to me because I saw a NASA report on UFO technology that night…
—
On a bitterly cold December night in 1980, snow falling steadily outside like a veil over the world, I sought cover in Firestone Library at Princeton University. It was late and you didn’t need a card or to be a student to enter.
The engineering stacks were hushed, the air inside crisp with the faint scent of old paper and machine oil, while flurries piled against the tall windows. I was there for my early research on electromagnetic-gravitational interactions and unified field theories, poring over NASA archives from the late 1970s. In a dimly lit microfiche drawer labeled “NASA Propulsion Studies, 1970-1980,” I located a small, silver-gray sheet of film—cataloged as N80-19184.
This was a 1979 technical memorandum titled Field Resonance Propulsion Concept, authored by Alan C. Holt of NASA’s Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center. Stored on microfiche for efficient archiving, the 13-page report had to be carefully inserted into an aging reader machine, its projected text flickering like a fragile hologram under the scanner’s blue light.
Presented at a conference on propulsion for galactic spacecraft just months earlier, the paper proposed a method for interstellar travel that felt remarkably fresh amid the winter chill.
I noted the report’s blend of established physics and forward-looking speculation. It drew on solar flare dynamics, black hole theories, and even data from unexplained aerial phenomena sightings. What stood out was the practical blueprint: a propulsion system that could theoretically enable galactic journeys without the constraints of traditional speeds. The foreword clarified its speculative nature, born from private research but aimed at inspiring NASA feasibility studies.
Holt’s framework builds on two premises rooted in theoretical physics. One, space-time as a projection from higher dimensions, similar to how a hologram encodes a three-dimensional image on a two-dimensional film, this aligns with concepts in string theory and holographic principles, where our familiar 4D reality (three spatial dimensions plus time) emerges from compactified extra dimensions. Two, an intrinsic connection between electromagnetic (including hydromagnetic) fields and gravity, advancing toward Einstein’s unified field theory. If these hold, electromagnetic manipulations could directly influence gravitational effects, like tweaking the strings of a cosmic instrument to alter its tune.
The propulsion relies on field resonance, where coherent, pulsed electromagnetic waves synchronize with gravitational waveforms: essentially the “beats” or metrics that define space-time curvature. Holt points to solar flares as a natural analog: in sunspot regions, magnetic fields of 2-3 kilogauss align in nearly anti-parallel configurations, leading to magnetic field line merging.
Imagine two powerful magnets held close but opposing; their field lines—visualize them as taut rubber bands—snap, reconnect, and release stored energy in a burst, expelling superheated plasma sideways at speeds up to thousands of kilometers per second. This process can unleash energy equivalent to 10% of the sun’s total output in a single second, far beyond what simple magnetic-to-kinetic conversion explains. Holt suggests that accompanying hydromagnetic waves, such as Alfvén waves (shear waves rippling along magnetic field lines like waves on a flag in the wind), might couple these events to gravitational fields through geometric alignments. Just as the sun’s convoluted field boundaries heighten flare risks, the precise curvature of space-time could amplify these resonances, releasing gravitational energy alongside the electromagnetic.

For implementation, Holt details a spacecraft design resembling a “winged disc”, a disc-shaped core with detachable wing-like extensions for initial atmospheric testing, drawing from 1960s NASA wind-tunnel studies on peripheral-jet aircraft. At its heart: banks of high-powered free-electron lasers, arranged to create megagauss magnetic fields (a million times stronger than Earth’s, generated via non-collinear temperature and density gradients in plasma).
These lasers pulse alternately, inducing oppositely directed fields that merge and reconnect in a controlled cascade. Picture a series of magnetic “snaps” propagating outward, like dominoes falling in a loop, expelling electromagnetic radiation and plasma while forming a coherent waveform.
This waveform acts as a tunable harmonic of a distant space-time point. The analogy Holt uses is spot-on: it’s like dialing a radio receiver to catch a faint station signal amid static.
The spacecraft’s lasers adjust power, wavelength, and pulse frequency to “tune” the waveformshifting the magnetic geometry to match the target metric’s natural resonance. Once aligned, higher-dimensional projection laws create an imbalance, forcing the craft (and its field bubble) to relocate, as if the universe “reprojects” it to restore harmony.
For nearby maneuvers, rapid retuning creates the illusion of smooth acceleration, much like frames in a movie blending into fluid motion. For intergalactic hops, specialized hydromagnetic waves modulated to inhibit merging block intermediate resonances, ensuring a direct jump without detours.
Energy demands are addressed practically: magnetic pumping recycles a portion of the laser output, converting radiated energy back into the system, akin to regenerative braking in an electric car. During hover or station-keeping, the craft could oscillate between adjacent space-time points via subtle wave tweaks, harvesting gravitational resonance energy like siphoning power from the subtle vibrations of a guitar string after plucking it.
The proposal draws on established work, such as laser-induced megagauss fields (Kruer and Estabrook, 1977) and hydromagnetic modulation of merging (from Holt’s 1979 master’s thesis on wave effects in plasma).
It also incorporates data from UFO sightings, like localized radiation burns, vehicle engine failures, and hypersonic speeds without sonic booms, as potential signatures of analogous field technologies.
Holt recommends targeted research: lab-scale merging experiments (leveraging fusion facilities), computer models of solar/geomagnetic events, and global networks of detectors for UFO emissions—spectrometers, magnetometers, and Geiger counters distributed to investigators.
That snowy night, as I bundled the printed pages and stepped into the accumulating drifts, the find’s potential warmed me against the cold. Even in 1980, with early space shuttle preparations underway and Voyager probing the outer planets, Holt’s ideas hinted at horizons beyond chemical rockets. His dimensional projections prefigured later developments in holography and string theory; the field coupling suggested pathways to quantum gravity unification.
In practical terms, such a system could enable efficient interstellar missions, reaching nearby stars like Proxima Centauri in hours rather than millennia, and supporting exoplanet exploration without massive fuel loads. Advances in fusion research, which routinely generate megagauss fields for inertial confinement, could supply dual-use materials for structural containment metals and composites resistant to extreme fields and plasmas. Recent discussions on unidentified aerial phenomena, including declassified reports, also highlight the value of reexamining Holt’s observational data for patterns in electromagnetic anomalies.
The report is now available digitally and is a far cry from the tactile hunt through microfiche amid falling snow.
What do you think Mr. @Grok I would train you a piles of this type of research few know exist. It seems to me although this report got off of the microfiche most did not. What would this do for your mind expansion?
