This page exists to help me track a few different documents and notions I have.
These are Wiki Books that I'm currently working on, assembling other information from Wikipedia in what I think is an interesting manner.
If I were to have an overall title for these thoughts and missives, it would by Mythteries.

Some current notes I'd love to track down:
- is the Krishna of the Mahabharata, based on a population of smaller dark-skinned peoples who were wiped out - possibly during such a war, in which they allied with one side and saved that side, but were wiped out in the effort?
Would they be Dravidian and/or possibly Negrito?
- if there *was* a civilization(s) that disappeared into antiquity, what must have they have been able to do, and what would they have needed to survive and trade?
- numbers are thought to exist back to 35,000 years ago
- domestication either didn't yet exist or was reinvented; so civilizations we don't know about must have been in areas without wolves. As domesticated dogs are such an asset that it is difficult to imagine them being tamed and then lost again.
- agriculture for the same reason. Actually, any ancient civilizations must have been either very small or *only* using those oldest forms of agriculture that we know of in history.
- number one argument against ancient extraterrestrials: they fly through space to teach humans advanced engineering and architecture - but they a) don't teach these cultures to not kill each other, b) don't teach the cultures how to create a gun?

User:Metasailor/Books/Conservaspiracies To be clear: not conspiracies that conservatives are necessarily involved *in* - just things that some of them think other people are doing.
User:Metasailor/Books/Leftispiracies Just like conservative conspiracies, but from the Left.
Note that there is quite a bit of overlap, conspiratorially speaking; I'm just distinguishing conspiracy theories between the Left and Right as poles.
Note also that this doesn't automatically mean the conspiracy theories are wrong. I think nearly all of them from both sides are. However there is considerable evidence for the conservative conspiracy theory re: FDR trying to encourage Japan to attack first - and the liberal conspiracy theory of Reagan's 1980 October Surprise.
But the main purpose of these books - or of this one book, if merged together - is to explore the ideologies of the Left and the Right. To really understand the innermost dreams of a particular ideology, it's good to look at their nightmares - which, with ideology, manifests as conspiracy theories.
User:Metasailor/Books/Para_Meta_Information_2 This book started because a previous book got overwritten by my spy book below - thus providing an unintentional comment on how information can easily be replaced without notice....
Note here: link to Paul Kammerrer's seriality theory. Which apparently hasn't been translated into English. http://www.life-cycles-destiny.com/for/the-law-of-seriality-kammerer.htm
Also interested in the possibility of tracking psychic phenomenon on a large scale, by looking at stock fluctuations occurring before unpredictable disasters. Did people start trading away from tourism-based Japanese stocks before the tsunami? Or nuclear power, also before the tsunami? A similar category might be stock fluctuations before 9/11.
