This may not be for you ...
But for those whose minds are not quite locked shut, this may well be of interest.
"There are more things in heaven and earth Horatio than are dreamt of in your philosophy"
I have no such experience, so I offer offer no comment, but it's your view that matters.

Every once in a while we need to step back from the brink and remind ourselves just what a familiar yet naggingly strange world we live in.
And when the reminder comes in serious form humourously presented, our cup runneth over.
(Still, you do have first to get past the "word from our sponsor", but it's worth it)

Tony Papert may not be immediately obviously everybody's idea of fun, but hey, he's only doing the introduction.
Classical music also can be presented as very serious material, but maybe there's something we missed by taking classical composers too seriously?
So can we have fun with Beethoven?
"Beethoven is political ... "
Well, that may not sound a very promising starting point in the search for fun these days, but ...
... it's your viewpoint that counts!

If you are not familiar with our "Down the Rabbit Hole" articles, you may want to peruse a few of them before you undertake this one.
I feature them not because I think them correct, but because I'm not prepared to dismiss them out of hand merely because they seem outlandish. It is clear that "science" does not understand the origins of humanity, and in the face of obvious evidence that somebody built many megalithic structures for purposes unknown all over the globe at some time in pre-history, we have to assume that there is much that currently we do not understand.
If by some chance some of these theses should turn up and hit us in the face, it might be best to have some prior awareness ...
Billy Carson, American researcher of pre-history, author of the Compendium of the Emerald Tablets a Beginners Guide, Woke Doesn't Mean Broke, and a number of videos on similar themes. leads us on a trail of discovery down the ages from pre-history to the present day, and comes up with some startling conclusions.
Make of it what you will ...

These two videos ambushed me this morning.
On the face of it neither of them grabbed my attention, but I wasn't feeling my best (late night last night) so it was convenient to indulge YouTube with some leisurely viewing, apropos of nothing in particular.
Serendipity - the art of encountering fortuitous happenings!
These are long videos, and in a (rather extended) weak moment I watched them both to the end. They are not related except in as much as they deal with a broad sweep of history, but the presentation and subject matter is complementary.
The first is an interview of talking heads, and is probably the easier to follow, whilst the second is in lecture format (albeit quite informal) but it does have an annoying habit of showing the lecturer rather than the slides he is talking about.
And ignore the intro, it's nothing to do with pyramids.
In fact it took me a while to get into it, but with a bit of snappy use of the pause button it is possible to read the messages. Stick with it, it gets better. It it isn't easy going, but it takes you places. Who would have known that the Isle of Man was a critical staging post for a dramatic escape to the New World? But that's just the foothills ...
And lastly whilst these videos both deal with matters of great significance, only you can decide how much trust to place in them.
Do they place current world events in some context? There's only one way to find out ...
