It’s enough to make one believe in the power of the nam-shub of Enki, amirite?
More like the power of human ignorance and laziness. Like, you can read the real deal online. None of the spaceship shit.
They also really love photoshopping the Pleiades into random artifacts on Facebook. Or Graham Hancock’s stupid “handbags.”
For me it is comforting at least to know I am not the only one to feel this way about subjects I have paid in blood to learn.
“Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before," Bokonon tells us. "He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way.”
