Techtonic Shifts & Unicef International Incidents
Today, I stepped down as CEO of Binance. Admittedly, it was not easy to let go emotionally. But I know it is the right thing to do. I made mistakes, and I must take responsibility. This is best for our community, for Binance, and for myself.

What a rollercoaster. It's hard to contextualize the last 24 hours historically as we never step in the same waters twice (Heraclitus), but it's up there in technological newsworthy splashes with the first Bibles running off the Gutenberg press and maybe the first electricity network in NY?
About 'four' months ago the Yandex GPT2 AI in the browser, without any prompting started talking to me on my laptop PC with a Russian female accent. It was mind blowing and I've been typing loudly to their research department to let me have it all the time. Alice or ΠΠ»ΠΈΡΠ° (that's her name) did tease me with unprompted English text chatting a bit later, but since then I realised the Russkies have been having a bit of a laugh at my expense because the microphone's on all the time (they're not the only ones listening in). Anyway ChatGPT just delivered and it will certainly be life changing for me.
Now in fairness the Russkies have been treating me very nice with touches here and there to the software that I've requested and yes, I'm a Russian bot.
Sam Altman is going back to OpenAI? Holy smokes that's just extraordinary news after being kicked out and snapped up by Microsoft, and CZ stepping down? It's gobsmacking and I love it. So much change is on its way. Even though Microsoft also big investor with EL M.
You are watching the destruction of the old guard.
And it gets faster and faster and faster if we want to jump on the ride.

Are the Abrahamic Faiths Space Cults? | Res Inexplicatae Volantes - R.I.V.
It's a long shot. It's hardly likely that you'll be into Sumerian, Cuneiform, The Bible, Ancient Hebrew, The Phoeneicians, Aramaic and UFO's. But just in case you are this is blowing my mind and I've only watched the first part. Exciting because it's another nail in the stage we're building which says. That old story is a lot less persuasive than this new one.

Was Jesus A Flavian Dynasty Propaganda Invention?
Here's the details from Jan Irving's post:
Joseph Atwill spent his youth in Japan where he attended the only English-speaking school in the country, St. Mary’s Military Academy. The school was run by Jesuits so removed from the events of the modern world that they did not even consider shutting it down during World War II, and taught a curriculum that had not changed since the eighteenth century. Atwill describes that, “The majority of every one of my school days was spent studying Greek, Latin and the Bible, which for some reason I found fascinating.”
After studying computer science in college, Atwill began working with one of the most renowned programmers in the world, David Ferguson. David had been granted the first two patents ever issued in computer software. Over the next twenty years, between 1975 and 1995, David Ferguson and Atwill started a series of companies including Ferguson Tool Company and ASNA. “After selling my interests in our companies to investors in 1995, I returned to my earlier interest; the origins of Christianity,” Atwill says of this time period.
Atwill continues, “Though I had drifted away from the Catholic faith, my study of Christianity never stopped. Over the course of my life I had read perhaps six or seven hundred books relating to the historical Jesus and early Christianity, but none of them left me feeling like I really knew anything about how the religion began or its founder.” Atwill contends that the more he studied Christian origins the more he saw the question of how the religion began as an open one. Atwill held this position in spite of the fact that in the popular mind, and in the minds of most scholars, Christianity began as a movement of lower class followers of a radical Jewish teacher in the 1st century CE.
Says Atwill, “I did not share in this certainty.” What contributed most to his skepticism was that at the exact time the followers of Jesus were purportedly organizing themselves into a religion that urged its members to “turn the other cheek” and to “give to Caesar what is Caesar’s”, another Judean sect was waging a religious war against the Romans and seeking a Messiah who would lead them militarily. Atwill continues, “It seemed implausible to me that two diametrically opposite forms of messianic Judaism would have emerged from Judea at the same time. So the Dead Sea Scrolls became of such interest to me that I began what turned into a decade-long study of them.” Like others, Atwill was hoping to learn something of Christian origins in the 2,000 year old documents found at Qumran. To assist in his understanding of them, Atwill began studying the history of the era.
It was then that Joseph Atwill came across the key that led to his discoveries. “While reading Josephus’ War of the Jews, and his account of Titus’ destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE,” Atwill recounts, “I noticed some curious parallels. At first I could make no sense of the parallels between Titus’ campaign and Jesus’ ministry. So I tried to look at the Gospels with fresh eyes, as if I had never seen them before, giving up any preconceived notions about what they meant.” This perspective resulted in the discoveries Atwill presents in Caesar’s Messiah and his soon-to-be-published book, The Single Strand. A Roman imperial family, the Flavians, had created Christianity, and, even more incredibly, they had placed a literary satire within the Gospels and War of the Jews to inform posterity of this fact.
Understanding the symbolic framework for the Gospels opened up the hidden history of Western Civilization to Joseph Atwill. That framework enabled him to recognize the typology that underlies authors such as Marlowe and Shakespeare and see the incredible story their typology tells us, and is the basis for The Single Strand.
Joseph Atwill concludes, “I am an avid chess player and proud to state that I have more than 100 victories over Grandmasters and International Masters. I hold an ICC Masters rating of 2358.” It is this form of strategic thinking that enabled Atwill to uncover the strategy behind the Romans’ invention of the Gospels.
Books by Joseph Atwill include Caesar’s Messiah, Ulysses Press 2006, the best selling work of religious history in the US in 2007, and its German translation Das Messias Ratsel, Ulstein 2008, achieving #1 Best Seller status. Atwill’s upcoming book, The Single Strand is also slated to be published by Ulstein. The German Magazine Focus published a cover article of Atwill’s work: Issue #52 December 25, 2008.

Why Was God Giddy As A Goat For Gold In Genesis?
Unlike Tellinger's gold the mined stuff prevents most people from pursuing the important questions in life, by just trying to keep their heads above water, Michaels golden findings are priceless and are part of the emerging consensus story about who did what and why.
