Alternate conspiracy theory: HAI doesn't exist. It's just an advanced machine learning protocol designed to take in topic suggestions, filter though them, and turn them into ok videos. If that were true, that would explain why we rely so heavily on your viewer topic suggestions, so submit yours and, if we use it, we (the computer) will send you a free HAI t-shirt: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfUdlvw6YgU44J8AnM2U_ZvRMyvh_CUM51LYSqF5nYJB9d1-w/viewform?usp=sf_link

Also that's never how any state has ever gone about convincing it's citizens of anything, if a state really wants to convince it's citizens of something it'll use propaganda and just prevent information from the rest of the world from reaching them like in North Korea. But these conspiracy theorists are usually the most gullible ones when it comes to propaganda because they have no critical thinking skills. And also like states only care about propaganda that has a clear benefit to them, like Russian media spreading propaganda about Ukraine being fascist because it justifies their brutal invasion or when the US government spread the lie about WMDs in Iraq. The things that conspiracy theorists propose that every single state is lying about though never have any clear material benefit for those states.

I once read Mr. Illigs books and the starting point of this theory is, that he erred when he tried to prove, that the Gregorian calendar omitted 325 years because of a calculation error. The base of his theory is an alleged calculation error by switching from the Julian to Gregorian calendar. And then he tried to explain the missing 300+ years and came up with those other theories. He argued that the so called dark ages (with an alleged complete lack of written documents) were dark, because they just didn’t happen, which explained the lack of cultural development and documents in Europe. As far as I can remember, he did not bother to look into e.g. Arabian history writings to compare historical events.
@hedgehog3180
@hedgehog3180 Год назад
The thing about the Dark Ages is that they don't have a complete lack of writing, just a noticeable decrease compared to the period before, and a lot of stuff did certainly happen during them but it shouldn't surprise anyone that the collapse of the Western Roman Empire left Western Europe in turmoil for a long period of time. Also the Dark Ages only really happened in Western Europe, in the surviving Eastern Roman Empire we still have tons of writing during this period and they regularly reported on their interactions with Western Europeans.

@@donaldduck830 You know that calendars don't control time, but are merely ways of marking its' passage, right? It's possible to relate one calendar to another by finding events known to multiple civilisations, and matching them. Turns out there is no "missing time" anywhere, because we can match the calendars pretty well (it's never perfect, and sometimes there is slippage, but mostly a few days, sometimes months, but never anywhere near 347 years...)
@donaldduck830
@donaldduck830 2 года назад
@@talltroll7092 That i what I wrote in another post: One needs a fixpoint (like the stone of Rosetta). But the videomakers use of a solar eclipse is flawed cause eclipses occur and reoccur in a cycle. Only with exact dates between cycles and good observations of the kind of the eclipse (total-partial/sector of sky it is in/time when it begins and length) it is possible to pinpoint eclipses accurately. And the only observations good enough that we have written proof of are Babylonian. Even the Egyptian ones are not good enough and there are discussions on how to reconcile the Babylonian and Egyptian timelines. That is why several hundred years is actually a sensible amount for missing time: Time between similar eclipses. And the Muslim timeline and the veracity of reports on Harun ar-Rashid are also questionable. Rome had a decent calendar (ab urbe condita) and that is it. There is no Russian or North African calendar in that timeframe. The dark ages were called dark ages because historians knew very little about them. And faking historical timelines ("my ancestors owned this land for many many generations") is self-serving and common. Only with a good fix of the timeline from before and after the questionable time would we be able to put this discussion to rest. But there is no civilization with a calendar AND contact. So the op is hilariously wrong. And if you are a decent person you are willing to at least think about this. And acknowledge my points(which I copied from smarter people than me). Or you may live up to your name and keep on trolling. ;)

There is something you should understand about conspiracy theorists. They don't give a damn about evidence, unless that evidence supports their theory. I saw a quite well done flat Earth video that talked about how gyroscopes on airplanes should behave if the Earth was a spinning globe. And he was exactly correct in his analysis. The only thing he did wrong was he failed to ask a pilot how gyroscopes in airplanes actually behave. I guess he just assumed that they do not behave in that way and ran with it. He was wrong of course, because gyroscopes in airplanes do, in fact, behave in exactly the way he said they should. I pointed this out in his comments section and linked a pilot training video that describes this behavior and how to compensate for it. He responded to my comment by saying that NASA builds the gyroscopes to do that. I linked him a video that would tell him how to build his own gyroscope for not too much money but I never heard back from him.

What does that ’compensate part’ entail? It seems to me gyroscopes can pretty much show what you want it to show depending on how you set it up.

This is not always a helpful stance to have if the main motivation is finding the truth. I suggest you check yourself sir.

Also told them to talk to their teachers to get more in depth explanations because math is important. Also the only game where people becoming merchants was somewhat appreciated as crafters wanted bulk purchases and hunters/miners wanted to cash in for their last run to repair gear and get more ammo.

My favorite theory to debunk is the flat Earth theory, and it's so friggin' simple to debunk. All you have to do is ask a Flat Earther to explain how it is that when viewing Polaris, the stars appear to rotate counter-clockwise around it as time passes, and why the opposite is true when viewing Sigma Octantis. Both stars are confirmed to exist, yet the night sky spins in opposite directions depending on which you're viewing (spoiler, one is over the North pole, the other over the South pole). Furthermore, ask them to explain why the stars at the equator appear to rise in the East and set in the West, traveling directly overhead as the night passes. They can't, because a flat Earth isn't possible with the celestial data we have. Not to mention if you can see Polaris, you can't see Sigma Octantis, and vice versa. Then again, I've heard those nutters try to tell me Australia doesn't exist, and that "They" knock you out with gas on the plane ride, then take you to a secret place. Again, doesn't explain how in this secret place the stars rotate the opposite way across the sky, and that some of the stars can be seen in both, say, Europe and Australia, so clearly this "secret place" they pretend is Australia can't be on the under side of the flat Earth.

Not necessarily. Unplanned opportunistic coordination happens all the time. It’s how markets work, for instance. The CEO of Ford doesn’t have anything to do with the CEO of Tropicana, the CEO of Walmart, or the owner of an orchard. But Ford trucks carry oranges to Tropicana processing plants and carry orange juice to Walmart locations. Everybody involved acts in their own best interest and coordination happens without any communication or planning involved. Occasionally, a perfect storm scenario can lead to unusual intersections of incentives that create very strange scenarios. They generally involve government meddling since government is the only enterprise that has no useful profit motive.

I went to an old traditional school. The history we learned revolved around one country and left one feeling that every other country was inferior. After the years went by, I realised I was being taught racism and my parents had paid a lot of money for me to be indoctrinated. After travelling myself and seeing many countries in the world, I have to look back and cringe at what I was taught back then. The world is filled with interesting people of all types and what a pity it is when one country thinks it is the greatest.

This actually discussed the renaissance period even, all the way to the 18th century, which was baffling. Basically, it shifted around a whole bunch of things and also removed a few centuries, and... yea. Actually, I should look if I can find this book again. In a way it was really interesting and entertaining.

(some variants is "I" - italian / spanish language) and then , than "i" was replaced with 1 , and we started to believe that our history is 2000 years - but in reality we live only 1000 years of "modern life". if you think that this is some psycho-guy shit-talk : just start to explore paintings from middle-ages and you will be shocked - they ALL dated as J475, J621 or as ][539 and so on.

@@swampwitch7313 Basil likely didn't actually commit those atrocities, they only get mentioned in sources from long after he died and were likely part misunderstanding and part moralizing to the current generation. Basically during his reign Basil established a reputation for brutal punishments against traitors because he had to put down a bunch of them, specifically he tended to blind them, however he only ever punished the leadership, never the common soldier. This was a deliberate strategy to make him look like a just ruler who'd crack down swiftly on insubordination and it worked since the empire was pretty stable during most of his reign and following it. Secondly he lead a relentless campaign against the Bulgarian Tsardom that lasted over a decade and did definitely blind the Tsar and his sons when he captured them, however the rest of the Bulgarian nobility was given some pretty nice deals in exchange for serving the Roman Empire. Seemingly in later generations because Basil was remembered so favorably people started to use him as the model for a good emperor and so certain characteristics of his got exaggerated to fit whatever agenda people wanted to push. Specifically his harsh punishment and his reputation as a military man got combined into a story about him blinding 20.000 captured Bulgarian soldiers, because some at the court like Micheal Psellos, wanted to make a point about the ideal emperor being a practical military man with no qualms about bloodshed. The fact that he was the emperor that finally defeated the Bulgars only added to this and the myth of "Basil the Bulgar Slayer" got born. However there really is no contemporary evidence that he was this bloodthirsty and while he did tend to brutally punish traitors he also made shows of clemency to prove that he was a good Christian. So basically outside of what was normal in warfare at the time, and it was plenty brutal, Basil probably wasn't actually all that bloodthirsty. It's a myth that later grew out of his famous character traits as he went from a living memory to more like the ideal for an emperor, sorta similar to how Augustus was deified.

After years of priests using the expression in their correspondences, regular people stated using it in non-religious exchanges. Then the abbreviation came in, and stuck. Then ages later, people started using it as the official "year". It's important to remember that the "AD" year is just one of at least a dozen different timekeeoing methods (calendars) in use in the world today.

Actually, the video is likely correct, back then they would have spoken classical latin, not the modern ecclesiastical latin.

For example, Cicero: today we tend to pronounce it Sisero, but in his own time, his name would have been pronounced Kikero. Julius Caesar would have been pronounced Yuulius Kaiser as well. The channel Fire of Learning has an entire video about Latin, if you want to check that out, and is where I got this information from.
