I can't get enough of ear reading. In this thread we will discuss cool ear reading.
This was a really good weak of ear reading for me.
2 of my favorite #JRE guests came on together.
Randall Carlson. http://sacredgeometryinternational.com/randall-carlson
I though he was a geologist bust he's not. I like his description of mythologist.
He's really good at explaining and showing these crazy ancient catastrophic events through awesome research and physical clues left on earth.
He teamed up with Graham Hancock, author of Fingerprints of the Gods and now Magicians of the Gods.
He's at odds with the standard narrative of ancient Egypt. He believes that the Sphinx is way older than the classical belief spells out. Using clues like water erosion on the Spinx, which constellations that the Spinx is facing through the precession of the equinox to "prove" that the Spinx predates the Egyptians.
Both of these guys believe there was a successful civilization that predates "known" history.
Randall believes and has strong evidence of an asteroid impact on earth that could/would have totally F'd any civilization in that time period. but at 15k years + ago, there is just so little physical evidence that they existed.
The most compelling arguments are the Spinx, Gobekli Tep https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Göbekli_Tepe , and the fables of the lost city of Atlantis, and the fables of a "great flood"
Then I read on Saturday:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_in_the_High_Castle
The man in the High Castle.
I started reading it because of some crazy stuff that Neil Fallon of Clutch said, so I wanted to see what it was all about. Then Mirsky said it's a TV show now? Interesting.
On Sunday I followed up with another Dick book:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Androids_Dream_of_Electric_Sheep?
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
I really liked this one. I put it in the same level as I Robot which I read over the summer that I also really liked.
I thought of @HeavyMetaLance and @Robin because part of this story in this post-apocalyptic world is that any life/animals are really coveted. And the main character "trades" three "Nexus 6's" for a goat for his wife. Lance gets his Nexus 6 today. And Robin definitely needs a goat.
This book is the reason why google named their phones "Nexus" and they get numbered. It just so happens that right now the Nexus 6 is the new phone, and in the book the Nexus 6 is the current iteration of the most advanced android.
Now I need something else to read. Maybe I'll go back and re-read Asimov's "Foundation" because I didn't get out of it what I think I should have, or what others have.
