i feel like it would be possible for them, or us, to be compliant and a participant in it without us, or them being aware of it, i'll use the 'petri dish effect' as an analogy/allegory, pde is, you put microscopic things on a petri dish, and observe them with full capacity, but those, that life inside the petri dish cannot even peer out and see, the dish is entirely controlled in every aspect without its inhabitants ever knowing, this is term and definition is most applied to theories of the universe, but i am applying it to your scenario, that basically all archaeologists are lying/compliant with the lies.
those archaeologists, us people could be complicit without ever knowing it.
I understand the example you use and the argument you present. But to me it feels like it's too much you know? Feels like too many people (and smart people at that) would have to live in a sort of bubble.
Also, that would make it look like the "elite" has almost alien like power/capacity to do this. Like aliens watching us from the sky without us knowing. Seems (in my opinion) a bit far-fetched. Is it possible? Of course. But seems unlikely.
Thanks for the different perspective though.
Most people are unaware of how science is funded, via grants. This method of funding allows the grantors to elevate agreeable researchers to prominence, and condemns those that insist on remaining independent of such political control to penury.
This is not a new problem, nor that has only recently become fashionable for those with money to grant. American archeology is notorious for preventing research into pre-Clovis human presence in the Americas for most of a century. Only recently have persistent researchers broken through the barriers posed by such gate-keepers to attain to peer review of their work.
While American archeology is the most obvious and verifiable example that comes to mind, archeology generally, and all science, is susceptible. Egyptology is practically as infamous, and it is trivial for a layman to examine the claims of Egyptologists that the Pyramids and contents were made with copper chisels by people without the wheel and the evidence extant and prove this is false.
That 'alien-like power' you refer to is just money. I have seen how it works, working as a scientist for a government in the USA. All that is necessary is a lot of money that you can spend to produce a narrative that benefits your business (a la Monsanto, Big Pharma, etc.) social control policies (Soros, Antifa, CDC, etc.) or whatever you find profitable.
Be suspicious, particularly of claims that 4 out of 5 doctors agree, for example. If such claims were true, then smoking Camel cigarettes would have to be good for you, based on the public claims of advertisers in the 1970s.
I'm definitely aware of what you're speaking of and it's a reality, no doubt. It's always the magnitude of the thing that bugs me. Also, if the hipothesis is true, that Max tells about, then it brings a lot of new questions to the table and a lot more rabbit holes.
Personally, I don't really care too much about history, I find it interesting and it would be good to know but not on my "to-do" list. Think there are more important things happening.
Let's hope we'll have the freedom to research these things one day.
is the video even loading for you guys?
I watched it. My connection is crappy, but it loaded fine. Maybe going to thecrowhouse.com (I believe that is Max's site) will enable you to watch it.
i can't speak for the author but i myself see it like lots of people, those smart people you mention do not need to be aware that they are an active participant and or complicit in whatever is going on, without them theirselves knowing that they are actually a part of it, much like the petri dish effect, those inside the dish cannot see outside at all and they never know their entire existence is controlled, very often used as one possible theoretical metaphor about universes/existence in general, could also apply to people that you are referring to, no matter how unlikely it may or may not be.
it's compartmentalization, like in the armed forces, and other corporations.
