In Luke, apocalypse is also understood as both an exorcism in motion and a bandit’s robbery on Satan’s kingdom, that the kingdom of God is what happens when demons have been cast out and the strong man’s spoils are seized (Luke 11:19-23)
@iycrtylph Saturn eats his son because he cannot eat himself—intuitively, the body knows it cannot digest itself for value (nutrients)
Abraham offers up Isaac because he knows this sacrifice of the Other (and future Others) is something even greater than a sacrifice of the Self
@Breengrub2 “But He said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know…My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.”
- John 4:31-34
Every Greek god is an early descendant of Noah. Mt Olympus was originally the Mt of Congregation, or even possibly the tower of Babel. Nimrod was Zeus. He was fearful of being overthrown like his ancestor Cham/Chronus. The Babylonian spelling is Chronus is Cham. Zeus killed Japheth in his rebellion against the Noahic generation. Javan fled by sea, maybe Greek is the only surviving antediluvian language? Zeus died on Crete old and despised. The Greek gods in Homer's Illiad are long-lived Noahic golden age patriarchs and matriarchs watching their shorter lived descendant fight. They are picnicking at the battle as an ancient elite caste the same way southern aristocrats would picnic and watch their sons fight and die in the civil war. The classical age remembered them as gods. Idk who Gilgamesh is the son of, maybe son or grandson of Zeus, but the flood survivor he speaks to is Noah, drawn into isolation over bitter tears seeing his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, fighting and killing each other. Noah is Odin. He outlived all his sons. He was deeply depressed. The dove and raven he sent out during the flood never left him, and are remembered as Odin's crows Huginn and Muninn. Noah was born albino in Ethiopian tradition. Odin is depicted in a cloak and big hat as a memory of his fear of the sun. He moved north to avoid it.
And yes, Jove is a distant memory of Yahweh.
I think that's everything. No there's more but that's all you get here.
“Freedom is that which conceals in a way that opens to light, in whose clearing shimmers the veil that hides the essential occurrence of all truth and lets the veil appear as what veils.” —Heidegger
Truth as Aletheia

Will collect some notes on the anarch here.
@c_autistic@Abaraxoid@CreationistF@fleshettte True, I think the discrediting started with cuteness-softening in the 80s and kicked into gear with pure laughingstock comedies by the 90s—as evident by the types of aliens depicted in pop culture at the time.
People don’t realize how *old* the idea of aliens is culturally tho.
