A slightly obscure topic, but a very meaningful video. Thank you for making this Sargon. If you did a segment on the Lotus Eaters discussing the meanings and modern implications of these proverbs, that would be really appreciated and useful.

10 and 11 sound surprisingly similar to the proverb we say in modern times "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."

That's also a very old saying, possibly dating back to Jewish writings in the 1st century AD. There's a very real possibility that our version is directly descended from the Sumerians through other middle eastern cultures.

Every culture, what was around long enough, to see consequences.. has similar advice... Because it's universal. If you wish to keep a secret, but must share it with another man, make sure no woman hears of it, nor no man talk of it to a woman, or else, it's a secret no more.

It’s fascinating and intriguing how everything you see on television was once reality. As the century ages and destiny plays out the relationship of unity falls apart along with creativity. Every perception you see is real, all the ancient artifacts and intuition has far left the paragon unfortunately, who else is thinking in such precedent for there future. There’s no accountability, therefore there’s no progress just arrogancy and naïve people. No one just shuts the fuck up listens in hope to become better.
