This guy has a series of tutorials on how to DIY GMO yeasts and bacteria to produce spider silk.
I Grew Real Spider Silk Using Yeast | The Thought Emporium

I never knew that Alex Jones was ranting about that like a televangelist. I learned about the spider goats thing from regular science news. Never knew it was considered a "conspiracy theory" til now. The gay frogs thing was funny though, but also had a pretty mundane explanation (atrazine herbicide).
But you can understand maybe some of the reasons people freak out about this stuff when research into that area (amongst other totally bazaar/psychopathic ideas) is directly intentionally funded by the DoD.

Christian Zionism with it's violent apocalyptic delusions now up for Secretary of Defence and in charge of the Pentagon? Yep...
I swear, someone needs to seriously turn the temple mount into a radioactive smoking glass crater for the next 10,000 years. Right away. When infants won't share their toys, they get taken away.
Incidentally the Pagan emperor Flavius Claudius Julianus (grandson of Constantine I) tried to have the 3rd temple on the mount constructed in the early 4th century CE, but the Christians of that era quickly put a stop to it and had it demolished again. -

I agree. But if your religion is likely to mean you pose a threat to me and others like me, I don't care how much conviction you have about it, I want you gone regardless. -

However they all still promote belief in it, and thus the cycle of violence inherent to the text is always just percolating beneath the surface waiting for a change in the dominant interpretation, or some other convenient excuse, in order to be expressed again on any unwitting neighbours. Pretending that isn't true is like the proverbial contract between the frog and the scorpion. -

If it's a choice of immigrant groups to point the finger at, the Indians will be the absolute last on my list. While living in Toronto I've lived in a predominantly Indian area (Gerrard & Coxwell) and also a Muslim area (East York / Danforth), and I can tell you I always felt welcome and well treated by the Indians, but like an unwelcome foreign interloper when interacting with the Muslims. With very few exceptions that's been my overwhelming experience any time I've interacted with either group. Also the Indian food is delicious and inexpensive, unlike most of the Muslim's food which tastes like char broiled dogshit. Can't say I appreciate either group's musical tastes. But if I have to live side-by-side with either one, I'll take the Indians by a long shot. They're also far less likely to want to behead me with a machete for practising my religion. -

I don't have any such desire. I am fine with Indians being here. Most of the folks I know personally are at least 2nd generation, and are just as Canadian as myself. If I were to be that ignorant towards immigrants, I'd have to insist we all pack our bags and leave the native people in peace to regain back their own lands. Anything less is hypocritical BS.
As to Muslims, just like Jews and Christians, my issue is that their religion historically makes them bigots towards those of other belief systems. It's only a matter of degrees how much, with that bigotry constantly bubbling beneath the surface waiting for the next excuse to erupt violently. I suspect your own opinions to be of that ilk tbh. -

I can't promise anything yet, but I've been working at getting comfortable with Elixir. So it's possible at some point not too long from now I may be able to help with pleroma dev. Until I get paid work I certainly have enough time on my hands. -

I think I'd have better luck training an LLM to pretend to be a rule follower on fedi on my behalf, than to every successfully be one myself. SPC/SPW is the only instance I've ever joined where I felt at home to be myself without having to self-censor or simply be unceremoniously deleted without notice. If it goes down I'll probably setup a self-hosted instance. But I hesitate to do that yet because it'll be challenging without spending extra $ to totally compartmentalize it separately from my offline identity given the associated metadata. -

Yeah. The story of the making of that replica is incredible. I didn't share too much about it because I didn't want to inundate you guys with a bunch of historical trivia when you're probably more interested in talking about Linux and anime. lol
Anyway there are a bunch of documentary videos about it, but this one below covers the bulk of it pretty well. That entire musical album is amazing. Every time I hear the one I posted above it sends chills down my spine and brings a tear to my eye.

Btw, I don't mean to belabour this, but hopefully you'll appreciate it anyway. Those myths were generally intended to be sung like a song, as the priesthood were defacto poets and musicians. This modern rendition of the Babylonian flood myth is absolutely beautiful, which I may have shared before, but is absolutely worth sharing again.

> ...spent hours at a time in the library reading tablet translations. At one point I was seriously trying to learn enough German to read some translations only in German.
A lot of that is now available in English via the Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature. For instance this translation of the classic descent of Inanna.
https://etcsl.orinst.ox.ac.uk/section1/tr141.htm
Around 2300 BCE Inanna and Ishtar had their myths and identities syncretized by the first named author in history Enheduanna, daughter of Sargon of Akkad, after a political feud with the rebel Sumerian king Lugal-Anne-Mundu.
In the 4th century CE Ereshkigal even got syncretized with the Greco-Anatolian Titan/Goddess Hecate as "Hecate-Ereshkigal" in the Greek Magical Papyri (GPM). -

Until someone can point to some actual statistics that demonstrate it, I can only chalk up the recent finger pointing at Indian immigrants as ethnic/religious bigotry, much of which is being promoted by conservative media outlets ostensibly on the basis of Christian nationalism. Then there's the Khalistani angle which domestically speaking goes back to the Air India Flight 182 bombing in 1985. Muslims have been no less the beneficiaries of government programs, though a lot of it is sponsored by Aga Khan and the Saudi Royal family, etc with the intent of normalising Islamic ideology/politics globally.
Our government (especially Liberals and their NDP butt buddies) is way more interested in virtue signalling than in doing their job of providing the services taxpayers are supposedly paying for. In my experience our government will lavish luxuries on any foreign group with their hand out if it would make them seem holier than thou for a photo-op, even while regular born and raised Canadians are forced out onto the streets in the hundreds of thousands, and with millions more struggling to shelter and feed themselves and their families. -

Depends which culture you mean when you say "American". If you want European, then there's plenty. If you want African, then also plenty. But you'll need to be more specific because it's quite a diverse field of study with many ethnic, cultural and faith groups represented. -

> infiltrators trying repeatedly to reintroduce a holy mother, or the holy spirit as a feminine principle Sophia.
That's originally from Judaism, where YHWH's wife is Shekinah/Asherah (aka: Sabbath Hamalka), who is also the Ruach (breath) of God. Moreover the idea of the Holy Spirit in Christinanity as it's known today is directly taken from the "physis" (aka: Hecate) of NeoPlatonism and later Chaldeanism, who was also prefigured in Gnosticism (eg. Pistis Sophia, Sethianism, etc). -

You should check out David Litwa. He not only goes into the Nag Hammadi Library, but also all the various heresiological texts written by other Christian authors (eg. Origen, Ireneaus, etc) who describe the various groups now lumped together as Gnostic, and the various theological differences between them. There's more than enough evidence to distinguish the teachings of Marcion from the teachings of Simon of Samaria, from the teachings of the Naassene preacher, etc.
It's also not as though Gnostics were entirely wiped out by the 4th century. You have a lot of derivative groups like the Bogomils, Cathars, Albigensians, Patarenes, Waldenses, Anabaptists, etc, who survived for at least another thousand years afterwards. Then there are Christinanities like the Pelasgians, who (like the Hermeticists) rather than seeing the world and matter as inherently evil, denied original sin, regarded creation as inherently good and redemptive, etc.
If there were a uniform understanding of theology within Christinanity then the Catholic church and it's ideological successors wouldn't have spent a thousand years viciously murdering anyone within their own religion with a different point of view. -

Similarly L Ron Hubbard took a lot of ideas from Crowley's OTO and Thelema and repacked it as Scientology. Not really that different. If you have good enough marketing abilities, or are willing to be pathologically unscrupulous and violent towards any opposition, then you too can attract hoards of gullible people into your totally made up cult du jour. It certainly worked for Christininanity 2,000 years ago.
