"shitty el-p" is pretty apt. to me it sounds like the trent reznor/saul williams record with like, the poetry/political subtlety turned down to "brain damage"

Evaluating what people are or aren't ethnically based on how they look like is so wack. Like, the wackest thing.

edit: redundant

Same problem here I had with the transcribing into AAVE ep, it's just proclaimed it's okay to do something in an academic context which has been condemned in the outside world without a good reasoning why.

lol your so right... i put the pussy in a sarcophagus... like what? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgEjy_JWZys also before the monster video there's this message thats all like THIS VIDEO IS IN NO WAY MISOGYNISTIC and then it's like women on meathooks and like models playing dolls in bed being manually manipulated into position, it's like, you can't just insist a subtext isn't there through force of will alone maaan but anyway to tie back into the buddhism thing, one time there was a q&a session with the current dalai lama at some college class about philosophy or i forget what exactly and he was asked about like, doing violence, premeditation, wasn't it justified, like, if you were back in time in a theatre with hitler aren't you obligated to end his life before he does everything he does, and the lama said, like, for example, if you had a katana, to put all the anger and hate into the swing of the blade and then by the time the motion was finished and you had decapitated him the negative feeling had left you, because he was just terrible and an awful source to let frustration enter you in your own mind. minus the macabre bit, i think some sort of similar meditation might help with latter-day kanye =P

you're the howard stern of comedy podcasting?

Not true, it mostly comes from the varieties of livestock and domesticated animals you have around, along with some things that come from the wild. Tenochtitlan in the years before the white man got to it was a very connected, prospering city of 250,000-350,000 people and as dense as anything in Europe without having a ton of disease or resistances like the ones people across the Atlantic had. As for African populations being resistant to and able to carry things that other populations can't, well, it's just a fact, you can't really argue... so many awful things come out of those jungles, even in our time, Ebola, etc. over time the people that live in those environs have to adapt protections like: No one said "one of the tallest buildings in the world" so you shouldn't put it in quote marks. Obviously it isn't one of the tallest, and was exceeded a thousand years ago by certain cathedrals. It is, however, one of the largest structures ever built.

1. White people are part of the alien crazies conspiracies as well, viking runestones, stonehenge, etc. It's not limited to just questioning the achievements of darker people. 2. We don't have to investigate fringe theories like African -> Gulf of Mexico transit because we have genetic evidence now that wasn't present when the theories were developed. There is not significant African haplotypes in the native population of the Americas. We can also tell because they weren't wiped out... Africans are even more genetically diverse and disease resistant than European explorers (witness what happened to the people getting colonized in the Americas vs. the people getting colonized in Africa) so if there was regular trading contact the indigenous Americans would have wiped out by plagues before Columbus even got there. 3. I don't know about that "academia is against folks of color" either. Lots of historians are def. racist, but in my anthro classes 10 years ago we learned about Mansa Musa and Timbuktu and the Arabic contact with Zanzibar and East African trading with India/China (i.e., things we have evidence for instead of fringe wishful thinking) There is a large part of academia (even in the red-state public university I attended) that is open to exploring the achievements of African people and teaching them to students and it's disingenuous to portray it like it's still 1935, intellectually. 4. If anyone says Isaac Newton got the laws of thermodynamics, it would have to be from another planet, because he was dead at least 50 years prior to people getting started on those. The earliest shit done to disprove caloric/phlogiston as far as I remember was Count Rumford in 1795 or 1797 and Newton was dead in 1727. 5. No one says the Pantheon (I assume that's what you mean by "Panethon") was directed by Martians because, quite frankly, it's not that impressive. It's 150 feet tall, and built in the middle of a very organized urban center, of hundreds of thousands of people, who we know had architecture to build aqueducts and mathematics, etc. The Great Pyramid is still one of the largest structures ever built, over 450 feet tall, and very difficult to imagine anyone building that far back, and would still be an incredible achievement today.

I'd like to answer your question, but I'm not sure I understood it... can you please restate it as some combination of you gesturing to something technological and saying your own name, please?
