Isn't open for discussion, it just is. Undeniable, it's just that. Every single thing I've ever attempted to do I managed to successfully fuck up the first time I did it. At time of writing, all of my previous accomplishments are :pause:
Slightly better than last time.
This dates back to forever ago but for the purpose of this introduction we'll just rewind to the turn of '76—DanDays first steps:
I'm a work in progress.
2021, I still fall occasionally, whatever. Checked the historical scoreboard lately? Humans are undefeated at fuckin things up, I'm just following in the footsteps of everyone before me. Adam and Eve are a good example—wrong and wrong. She ate the apple but if Adam wasn't so peach-whipped he would've stopped her.
Organized religion ain't my thing, this isn't religious content. This is me referencing historical fuck ups we're all aware of so I can prove my point like God did with Cain. And Abraham. And everyone before and after Noah. 2 Tim 3:14. You know these images and designs are always mine, right? Unless specified otherwise. I haven't disclosed that for awhile, not sure if I'm still supposed to. Readyyyy - Break!!
48 BC - The Library of Alexandria Destroyed. Julius Caesar torched it to the ground in a failed attempt to overthrow Egyptian rule.
"The most significant library of the ancient world" was also a research center, university, and medical school home to archives as ancient as 3500 BC. Dates and numbers are approximates. An estimated 400k-700k scrolls burned to ashes that day. Plato findings, Socrates and Hippocrates research. The earliest translation of the Old Testament—hearsay! Historians argue it's the worst crime ever committed against humanity and claim the destruction "set human civilization and mental growth back at least 1,000 years."
1206-1368 Genghis Khan and the Mongol Invasions. Phrases like "change the footprint of life" or "the very fabric of life" were created to describe the terror of Genghis Khan.
During his time in power, Mongols raped and captured all the females while mass exterminating all non Mongolian settlers between Asia and Eastern Europe, down into the Middle East. The Mongolian empire reigned 162 years during which an estimated 60 million people were killed.
1325-1911 - American genocide. For nearly 600 years, American settlers from every direction initiated and participated in the genocide of Native Americans.
Cowboys and Indians was a game we played as kids. It's inspired from starving, raping, pillaging, destroying and murdering the original American settlers. 1325 in South Dakota, 486 dead. 1519, Mexico, 30 thousand dead. 1521, 240 thousand dead. There's several thousand recorded deaths per year until what's documented as "The Last Massacre" in Nevada, 1911—4 cowboys, 1 cop and 8 Indians dead.
1430-1865 - Slave trade. Portugal raids Africa in the 15th century to pioneer a 435 year long multinational raid against Africa.
European merchants and traders as far East as Denmark until about a hundred years later when the Transatlantic slave trade extended across the Atlantic to North and Central America. By the 1800's more than 11 million Africans arrived in Europe and the Americas as slaves out of an estimated 13 million Africans forced to depart their homeland. They were transported like spice, 2 million didn't survive the trek.
1887 - Yellow River flood. Yellow River in Shanxi, China has 1,500 recorded floods between 2300 BC and now. 200,000 people have died in the spring months during the past 20 years alone when heavy rains burst through the river banks.
1887, 900 thousand people died. China fixed it. 1898, the total death toll is unknown, some estimate two million, fixed it. 1938, river banks burst in spring again, 800 thousand people died. #Fixedit. 2020, flooded.. fixed.. 700 thousand are displaced and another 78 confirmed dead.
1914-1918 - WWI. Draw a vertical line down the middle of Europe and everyone to the right except Japan is fighting everyone to the left except Spain. Both Switzerland and Spain opted out of WWI while neighboring countries fought for their peace.
An estimated 22 million civilian and military casualties in World War 1 plus and additional three million prisoners of war were killed ranking WWI one of the deadliest conflicts in history. Germany took their first of two shots at world dominance by enlisting China, Russia, Austria and Hungary. They were unsuccessful. Fast forward 30 years.
1939-1945 - WWII. German forces signed alliance with Italy and Japan to dominate Europe. Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria all joined the German campaign within the first year.
Germany signs alliance with Soviet Union to divide and conquer Poland, a country both Great Britain and France vowed to protect. War is declared. Six years and 25 allied countries later, Germany and its allies attempting to exterminate Jews in its now occupied European territories are defeated—deadliest international conflict in history. 6 million Jews died, 50 million civilians died, 25 million war casualties.
1986 - Chernobyl. Nuclear power plant in then Soviet Union governed Ukraine experiences the worst nuclear disaster in history during what should've been a routine test.
Mikhail Gorbachev silences the nearly 1 year reconstruction and cleanup effort during the first 10 days of disaster. Nuclear energy covers the skies of Europe and Russia without warning to 100's of millions of residents. 125,000 deaths are a direct result. During the next 20 years and as recently as January, 2016, exposure to iodine and thyroid cancer cases linked to Chernobyl continue to emerge.
1990-2001 - Anthrax. During the Persian Gulf War, Iraq loads the deadly toxin onto missiles and artillery shells which are then deployed to all four corners of Iraq.
In two months, before clinical trials could be conducted, the Food and Drug Administration approved an Anthrax vaccine. 85% of US troops who received the vaccine had adverse reactions including neurological damage, infertility, lupus and multiple sclerosis. 16% either transferred positions or retired from service to avoid it. 35 thousand US troops subsequently died from receiving the vaccine until its removal in 2004.
2011 - Fukushima. The Great East Japan Earthquake centered off the eastern coast of Japan caused a tsunami in the Pacific Ocean triggering a 50 foot (14 meter) wall of sea water—all three reactors drown, overheat, combust.
Independent investigation concluded a lack of preparedness and failing to meet safety requirements led to, "a profoundly man-made disaster" that requires minimum 40 years from now to clean up. 18,000 people died so far and 150,000 residents displaced from their homes haven't been allowed to return since.
2012 - Rocket science. NASA admits they mistook the earths location.
US Congress creates National Aeronautics and Space Administration in 1958—NASA. They're responsible for coordinating America's space activities. They recently recanted their original findings that stated earth is positioned in the Orion Nebula of the Milky Way. They're now convinced it's in the Sagittarius arm of the Milky Way. Same galaxy, just 1,000 light years to the left.
I wonder how many of Julius Caesar's followers were "I don't know about this one Jules, that library's pretty iconic."
I think woke and awake or super duper woke or whatever they're calling it today is childish. You're either asleep or not when Genghis Khan rolls through town raping women and girls, exterminating men and boys, leaving carnage and destruction in his wake.
A lot of heritages participated in the extermination of Native Americans, I wonder how many opposed it, 50%? More than that or less like 20%? I'm not convinced 100% of humanity supported the extermination of Native Americans.
A flash flood closed Yellow River on July first this year, 2021, five weeks ago. Rain water burst through the river banks again.
Over 100,000,000 deaths between WWI and WWII. I wonder how many people were like "yeah! Fuck Europe! Kill'em all beginning with Jewish people!" I'm not convinced 100% of human kind believes Germany behaved tolerably for those 30 years.
Couple of nuclear power plant mistakes, both proved deadly. Had proper safety measures been applied such as not keeping the world in silence during the first 10 days following the incident and, odds are, countless lives would've been spared. Two times—we didn't learn from the first one.
NASA's first shot at pinning the earths location in outer space was off by 1,000 light years. I'm not Tesla but if I punch in a wrong zip code and end up 30 miles in the opposite direction I'm a douche! 1,000 light years is 1 hell of a typo.
2021 - Covid. Now like now-now is when I'm expected to believe for the very first time in human history, my entire existence, today, during my lifetime as in this.exact.very.moment I'm supposed to believe we got it right the first time—unprecedented. For the first time in the existence of earth as we know it, our generation is the very first flawless one ever.
Was anyone paying attention to the historical scoreboard? I don't understand space as much as I'd like and I'll admit a know equally as much about vaccines but I know numbers. I can count to 100 no problem. 1,000 will take a minute but I know numbers. I can count to 1,000.
Now multiply that by 40 thousand—40 trillion. That's a lot. Raise your hand if you've ever counted to 40 trillion.
I polled 13 of my closest friends. Out of those 13, two have submitted to vaccination trials. One took nursing classes and told me "I understand how vaccines work." The other is an older dude, a senior citizen, he has a friend he trusts who's a doctor plus the world scared the living shit out of him and all seniors worldwide on day 1 of this pandemic. He told me he trusts his doctor buddy because he said "polio vaccines worked."
I just counted to 40 trillion said no one ever. Takes too long. 1,000 is pushing it. No TV personality, no doctor, no communist or dictator or president, not me or you or anyone you know has ever counted that high. If you can't count to 40 trillion, you can't tell me you understand 40 trillion messages packed inside 1 shot. You can't even count to 1 billion.
I wish those two friends of mine didn't do that but wtf do I know?! As little as them. I know I prefer to do all of my own foreign substance administering, though, I know that much. Wish they did. 40 trillion's a lot. There should be a rule where if you can't explain them you can't vein them.
Special thanks @knottydaddy @edprivat @xplosive. Your assistance and response time are much appreciated gentlemen.
