Whoever Chris , you really have waded into it at the heart of the matter! Our world problems are not political they are Spiritual. Very few people are able to perceive that.
That's why I named my substack Geopolitics and Spirituality. The two cannot be separated and events in the unseen are the primary driver of events in the seen. This is something the vast majority of people just don't know, or can't even conceive of, a very clever sleight of hand from invisible forces.
I'm a lefty and have been wondering for years why there isn't a more organized Left-handed Awareness movement as most things in our world are made for righties and, on average, we die 7 years earlier (I'm thinking that's because most lefties are men though). I say it as a joke, but seriously, at this point we're one of the last minority groups with no organized representation.
Strangely, I read somewhere that lefties are incarcerated at a higher rate for child sexual abuse and I always wondered about that--maybe you're into something here.
I think they did studies, where they linked left-handedness to higher, intelligence, creativity, but also a much higher likelihood of abnormative sexual behaviour, depression and probably a shorter life-span, though I'm less sure about the latter. It is all a Neanderthal legacy, as explained in the book I linked to pretty clearly.
Hi Chris: I value your writing! I'm with you on almost all the sub-topics here, especially vibration . And you may be pleased to know I bought The Quantum Universe and am enjoying it.
I don't know if you have noticed how I am about the topic of race of Substack. I always speak up. Don't take it amiss if I disagree with you. I know you said the thoughts on Neanderthals are not definite but are worthy to be considered. I felt, however, you implied that you inwardly accept much of the theory you wrote about. (not all...I mean, how to we know how they felt about the moon for example, and I am sure you realize that). I'd like to ask you to reconsider the theory and the implications you drew. The photo you published, in particular, just about blew my mind. If it was anyone but you, to tell the truth, I'd never be back. I think a lot of Americans won't, and maybe it is a cultural difference. (Then again, perhaps about 10 percent of Americans are actually Darwinist, meaning, usually, racist. They will be back, but you don't want them.)
OK, Sub-Saharans are, on average, (broad averages here) physically stronger, not weaker. Their IQs (and who knows how true a measure that is) test a bit lower but that still means never assume a given person of that ancestry is any dumber than anyone else because that would be rather cruel and unfair. I assume you acknowledge the latter and I'm so surprised you do not acknowledge the former. - At any rate, while I certainly know Africans in Budapest (most are studying to be Doctors here) American blacks are almost all mixed-race people. Caucasians had the advantage of Christianity and Asians, as you said "right hand religion". Blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans did not, but they are catching up and if you know their spirits you know good people.
(And yes, I get it, Neanderthal DNA is not a large part of anyone's DNA. I'm no simplistic Darwinist, but it was not the Neanderthals who survived.)
Here is Razib Khan on Neanderthals. Tell me if you can't read it and want to. I am convinced he is the absolute best, genetically. I have no read this one yet and his posts are usually very long and detailed, but I shall read this one: https://www.razibkhan.com/p/what-neanderthals-meant-to-you-what
I was also surprised you did not just label "left hand" as "bad". I'm sure the Aztecs had a few "nice" beliefs in addition to cutting the hearts out of literally millions, but....I think it is OK to call the "left hand" beliefs "bad". I think whatever was good was the "right hand" sneaking a bit in. (Hmmm...red right hand...guess right it not always legendarily they symbolic good though I fully approve of your splitting things up this way....I have a lot of Ulster Scot ancestry so just threw that in.)
I chose a photo of Nikolai Valuev, because he is usually cited as the person that looks most Neanderthal. Some opponents have refused to fight with him after seeing him IRL, saying things like, this thing is not a human, I'm not fighting him. That the guy he's punching is a black dude is a coincidence, it could have been any white or asian guy, that did not look like a Neanderthal and that would have made the same point.
Btw, the fact that non-sub-saharan-africans are in effect a hybrid species is sometimes used by black supremacists, to claim, that they are superior, being pure-blood, pure Cro-Magnon or Homo Sapiens, basically. I did read up on our Neanderthal legacy quite a bit, so I'm reasonably familiar with the literature, whilst the cultural stuff is highly speculative, what I wrote about physical traits is based on science.
After rereading the Neanderthal section, I removed this section:
"The hybrid nature of Northern Eurasians (Europe, East and North Asia) might actually be the best explanation for the vast gap in achievement between Sub-Saharan Africans and the former group. "
Although I think it is a valid scientific observation, it may be too controversial.
Also, in a way, I think you are misunderstanding my point here, which in a way is the opposite of what you're implying. I read this book a decade or more ago, so I don't remember all the details, but in effect, the author is claiming, that there was a war for survival between Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons, which the Neanderthals lost, but their genetic heritage lives on as a sort of secret species within a species, accounting for a lot of the persecution of certain groups within society. For instance, he points out, that gingerism, prejudice against red-haired people is still considered acceptable in many parts of the world. The UK is a good example, but in Africa for instance, red-haired people are considered witches and are often persecuted or even executed. Albinos are sometimes used in magic rituals, where they are sacrificed beforehand.
So, if there is any racism here, it is towards people with significant Neanderthal admixture and not vice versa, which is my whole point. Let me know what you think.
Regarding the left hand being bad, I did not make a value or moral judgement here, just stating what I believe to be the truth. Notwithstanding stuff like human sacrifice, which is obviously abhorrent, I'm not going to judge someone for their sexuality or whether they do goddess rituals at moonlight. That is why I say this thing is nuanced just going with good and evil is not sufficient to understand the issue and it can lead to demonisation and persecution of certain groups, which is not my aim at all.
Hi again - sorry to run a bit long. I did read Khan. Important gleanings - The persons with the most Neanderthal DNA are East Asians, no Europeans And - though people might be about 2 percent DNA, it i mostly "junk DNA" for us, not coding for any protein that we make. So this photo should perhaps feature Bruce Lee destroying Santa? Just kidding...Khan said nothing about superior intelligence or strength of the Neanderthals, just that they were an attempt to be well adapted to their environment. He said they were red furred, blue eyed and orange haired. I gues we know who the world' most famous Neanderthal i ;)
Chris it is Ok to change a substack article.. Neanderthal DNA was not mentioned as the direct reason any one group may nave been physically or mentally stronger than another. But there are a few sentence and a photo that will be assumed racist by people who have not read you much, by new people who come here not from Rod's. Rod can't recommend racism. But I think you could take out the Neanderthal part if you agreed the fellow you wee quoting with incorrect, Then I'd take down my comments. Bold of me to day so, but I want this Substack to go places,
I did read the literature on Neanderthals. Yes, East Asians have the most Neanderthal DNA. Again the picture is about a Neanderthal punching a Cro-Magnon with his left hand, to illustrate my point, not a white man punching a black man, which is probably what you are seeing. But if you can find Valuev punching a white man in a similarly awesome photo, send it to me and I'll replace it. The point here is Valuev's extremely obvious Neanderthal features, which he's famous for. BTW, there is no evidence, that Neanderthals would have been bigger and stronger or smarter than cro-magnons, though they did have larger brains. And just to reiterate, we are not Neanderthals, that's not what I'm saying at all, only that Neanderthal admixture has contributed significantly to our ability to adapt to colder climates. The book is pretty good in explaining this, I can't do it justice here.
Very astute analysis. I may actually have come somewhat short in what I was trying to express. Will try to tie more strands together in part 2.
My own perception of Trump and Biden.
Biden, I think is simply an empty shell. Whoever controls him is driving an agenda, that stays hidden, though the fruits of it are crystal clear in actual events. I would not be at all surprised, that behind the broken shell of a human that remains of him, there is something not of this world.
Trump, I like to think, that his heart is in the right place, but he has many personal failings. He is vain, lustful, greedy and lies like a rug. Yet, what I sense in him, is that he sees the danger facing the country and wants to right the ship, steer it in a different direction, much like Orbán in my own country. Flawed human beings can sometimes do great things, if they let the holy spirit act through them. Whether Trump is that man, whether he can overcome his personal failings and sinful nature, remains to be seen. I remember how many religious people thought highly of Putin because of his supposedly deep religious faith (most famously, Dubya), but subsequent events have proven, that he is an evil man and a diabolical manipulator.

Agreed!
The most crafty , devious thing that the Devil has done (C. S Lewis ) is convince humans that he no longer exists…
Following with interest...
