Solving the Riddle of the Sphinx? | Armoured Skeptic Rabbit Hole 

"Pfft, that's not where food comes from. Everyone knows food comes from the store."

If you get the chance to experience an eclipse in person they are definitely something different

@@YttriumWolf oh yeah, they are definitely a little spooky in the bones. I can only imagine the psychological reaction less knowledgeable groups had to the giant ball of light in the sky, that behaves like clockwork for the most part, rapidly and seemingly without warning going dark in the middle of the day. Like obviously early agricultural civilizations would have had pretty decent understandings of the seasons and the movement of the sun and stars, but eclipses are relatively rare events.

@@FrozEnbyWolf150 This is only half true, the green man supplies all those stores with food, every night he slips and uses tigers and lions to restock all the shelves.

​@@Nico_Sno if you'd like a case study and how people react in a situation when they don't understand eclipses, look no further than Christopher Columbus's account of when he used his knowledge of eclipse charts to bamboozle a tribe out of their winter provisions. He basically asked them to give him and his men enough to travel, the tribe elders said no, we only make enough to survive the winter. Columbus then essentially said if you don't give us what we need Our God, which is more powerful than your God, will turn the moon blood red. He then proceeded to give an exact prediction of the eclipse. Needless to say, his men got the provisions they needed. It is probable that many people in that tribe starved that winter.

I have been telling you guys for the last few videos this goes hard off the rails through several hospital cancer wards. This video isn't the end, mark my words, there will soon come a video where you will not even recognize who Greg is anymore..

He has self suggested his way in to way worse than that. You haven't seen the worst of it yet.

@@ninjalokust I already don't, I remember when he wore that helmet and was, well kind of logical. Now, he reminds me of someone that would be on Alex Jones

@@Nobody_Fn_Important don't ask me to find which one it was because I couldn't sit through 20 hours of podcast hoping to find the right one but he began doing a "phone in" style podcast format for a while. He commented on them that he always loved Art Bell on coast to coast and listened intently to them because Art would most of his callers at their word no matter how crazy their story was, but maintained some semblance of sanity by questioning the most insane and incoherent callers and dismissing them. He said he wanted to emulate Art Bell and asked his viewers to record themselves telling their own stories and then send them to him so he could listen to them and then make comments afterwards. He was the most high it was possible to be during those episodes if my memory serves and told some of his own stories about ghost hunts he went on and his girlfriend of the time (an Australian woman not shoe, but just as doomed a relationship) had a UFO story of her own. He would continually bring things back to biblical experiences which upset her I think as they were both sceptical towards the others experience, him towards aliens and her towards religion. But after THAT breakup is when he began going full messiah mode and released a video undermining his entire skeptic career. Going back into his extremely old videos and implying he was always trying to redpill atheists into believing in religion by sowing subliminal messages using the green man messiah imagery. This is what I mean, you guys think you know who Greg is, but what you know is who he pretended to be, the helmet era was a total deception according to him.

@@ninjalokust this just sounds like the prototypical excuse from someone caught being either a hypocrite or just plain insincere, "ooh yeah I was like this all along, I was just playing a part, yeah that's it, a part and you were guinea pigs to an experiment I was performing... that's it" what a doofus.

I stopped watching when he started this. At the time I thought it was some kinda joke, jabbing at crazy conspiracists by emulating them. I wasn't interested in watching it so I never knew he'd kept at it.

The green man is cumin. He is in the spice cabinet.

Those are some harsh words. What have I missed? Jake said something about Greg getting mad at him? So far I've been trying to give Greg the benefit of the doubt. Should I stop that?

@@Pensive_Scarlet he thinks he is so smart that he knows things no one else does while doing no research.

@@Pensive_Scarlet *spoiler* do not read if you would rather experience this as it happened when its covered soon There will be a video soon that is all about Greg and how he is the messiah. You might take it as being a "joke" or tongue in cheek and you might be right but he begins to refer to imagery in his old skeptic videos to show he was always hinting at this self opinion. What these videos also dont show are the stuff happening around it, the podcasts where he talks about how he was scared of expressing his beliefs and how grateful he was to his audience, at the same time he would pull down his entire video series and post a comment saying "you don't deserve these" and then later bring them back after his fans fawned over him enough. I was watching this as it happened and had to stop because I legit felt troubled about his mental state and creeped out by the cultish behaviour and manipulations. It was fun for a while when I thought he was actually doing parody of conspiracies but it became very apparent that wasn't the case and his disclaimers were there to convince the audience to stick around long enough so Greg could have the chance to make them a believer. It has been 3 years of this, the benefit of the doubt has long since ended.

Trust me when I tell you that we have not yet seen the end of his narcissism or how deep his delusions go. This gets worse.

@@ninjalokust wow, that is so deranged of him!

“Yeah… so anyways, my dog is going to die eventually”

AFAIK this is pretty accepted, yes; the fact Greg doesn’t even mention 616 shows the depth of his thinking on this issues

I think he confused Plato with Aesop

Indigenous Australian mythology and art don’t get a lot of representation, and that sucks because they’ve got some fascinating stories.

Apparently, even back then a guy thought Lovecraftian monsters were real and even wrote to him to that effect.

he says that but like I really don't think he does know how crazy he sounds

I pose insane things, based on cobbled-together mythologies, and my avatar is a suit wearing a knight helmet. what am I?

@@LiarJudas666 A Cone Head?

Dark souls character

@@acheyawachtel9409 got it in one!

Where we are going, you wont need education to see.

That is so METAL. I love it!

I mean, the green man is also the best friend for everyone but I’m not sure he is a master of karate

*in vocal fry* yyeeeeaauuuussssss

he def has to edit with one hand

@@siah2930 trick question, he has a mechanical masturbator for the entire time

yeah, his idea that a magnetic field is some static shape is completely wrong. magnetic fields wibble and wobble based on their generation (the earth's core is not a uniform sphere) and on their interaction with other magnetic fields - the sun's magnetic field is well known for being VERY complex and for snapping off whorls and loops (that's... what causes solar flares...) and those loops of energized particles mess with the earth's magnetic field.

I am an astrophysicist, and you got it right.

plausible deniability so he and his defenders can point to it as a deflection whilst at the same time there's other members of his audience who are like "We know what's REALLY goin on don't worry Greg" read his comments, as the series develops it gets more and more obvious how cultish his audience is and the "lol this is so obviously entertainment" kind of comments slowly develop more into some true believer shit.

also, apparently...he gets worse as the series goes on according to people who have seen ahead and I for one cannot wait to have my mind blown

This is Greg, The skeptic was a character Greg played who he developed. He has claimed (up to you whether its true) the character of the skeptic doesn't represent his beliefs or opinions either on religion or on politics and that he is far more left of centre politically and agnostic on religion. He doesn't think there are gods (at least...I mean maybe I dont know now that I write this) he thinks that they are stories meant to convey real events. That its all metaphors, jesus is the aurora of the planet, god is the sun, gods wife is the second sun. The constellations and planets being related as gods was just a way to tell a story of an event that ancient people didn't fully understand. So he is trying to say the story is relating some kind of truth but there is no spiritual aspect, no supernatural god, just natural events that were related through supernatural metaphors, or something. It gets really muddy because I think he does personally have some spiritual beliefs he just doesn't believe in God or at least any religions version of God. I wont speculate further because I haven't watched passed a certain point and its possible since then he literally started being a theist and I don't know it.

its Radical Rex hehe

Great point about Thunderbolts Project. None of this really is new - I saw it years ago in fringe documentaries about the Electric Universe. Man, those videos have gravitas. The sheer lunacy on display is mesmerizing!

It's very grating. He thinks he's so clever and profound

That's not too far off base lol

It really is. Everyone is guilty of it. Shit is just never as exciting to other people as it was in your dream lol

it would make for a cool novel title tho

Depends what he means by that. Literal heartbeat or he talking about solar cycles, that are actual thing.

It is better than Chocolate is an octave of sun energy but he is on his way there.
