The Hermetic Order of The Golden Dawn and the Isis-Urania temple sound so cool and mystical, and it's a bunch of Nerds dressing in silly outfits and memorizing hand gestures.

The problem of covering conspiracies, secret societies and cults together as a group is that you could produce not just a few episodes but several years worth of shows on this subject. There have been hundreds of these things some around for short times and others for centuries, and just when you think that one is dead or destroyed or dissolved it pops up again (maybe with a new name and leader) and the cycle starts again. One correction : The Knights of the Golden Circle did not die with the Civil war. They meddled in Central and South America and may have been involved in the Mexican Revolution.

I am also a member of Phi Theta Kappa. It is not hard, just have a GPA of 3.85 or better while enrolled in a college where there is a chapter of Phi Theta Kappa... My GPA was a 3.98 because we had an instructor who didn't believe anyone deserved a 4.0 in any of his classes.

My Catholicism is the reason I enjoy this channel. That said, the Mass and the Vulgate Bible were not in Latin so that the people couldn't understand it. On the contrary, the Mass and the Bible were in Latin because parishioners in Western Europe in the 5th century no longer understood Koina Greek and were now speaking --wait for it --Latin. The notion that the Catholic Church was keeping things secret by keeping it in Latin long after Latin stopped being the vernacular is a relic, pun intended, of Protestant polemics. People understood what the Latin Mass was saying because the missals were split into the Latin text on the left column and the vernacular translations.on the right column. As far as the Vulgate goes, those who could read also read in Latin, but, even then, the Catholic Church have had many vernacular translations of the Vulgate, which itself was a vulnacular translation.

I'm just gonna leave here that I'm pretty sure that "yakuza" coming from the worst hand in _oichu-kabu_ is just folk etymology, mainly because not only are there many other ways of reading those 3 numbers in that order, the order itself is suspect (3-8-9, 9-8-3, 8-3-9, 9-3-8 and 3-9-8 are the exact same hand, and the first two sound way more natural). By the same token, things like "disaster/ill-luck gang" (厄座) or "drug guild" (薬座) are as likely to be the origin of the word and make more sense (another option would be 役座, "job party" in the sense of "odd job providers").

Great breakdown of the series. The only thing I can object to is the generalized belief that "if it exists, it can be googled" among so many academics that comes up at the very end. "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, / Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." How could you know about a secret society, if it were actually secret?

@jasonwalker9471

16 күн бұрын

it's *really* hard to keep spicy information locked down. From secret military research to oval office blowjobs, these things have a way of finding their way out remarkably quickly, given the importance of secrecy to the people involved. That's not to say everything becomes general knowledge (very few facts about any topic are (more or less) universally known), but keeping something secret from people with a motive to find out secrets has always been difficult, and it has only become more difficult as time and technology have marched on. More generally, you can look at it from two points of view that intertwine with each other. First, secrets have a half-life, and technology has made that half-life very short. Second while we can't know for certain how many secrets exist, we can apply a bit of logic similar to an inverse lottery fallacy. The lottery fallacy involves the fact that while it's very unlikely that you'll win the lottery, it's guaranteed that someone will. You can apply the inverse of that to secrets. Because we have imperfect knowledge it's not possible for us to know if any particular secret might have "decayed", but it's possible for us to know the rate of decay, and to know that on average no individual secret will last more that X amount of time, depending on various conditions (number of people in-the-know being the primary variable). Putting all of that together and applying it to secret societies, you end up with the concept of an "inverse power/lifetime proportion" for them. Societies derive their power from their members. The more members, the wider the reach of the society, and the greater the power the society can funnel upwards to its leaders. But by their very nature, powerful societies will remain secret for only a short time (relatively speaking). The greater their power, the shorter their secret society half-life. That doesn't mean they'll disappear after they inevitably fall prey to their half-life, but it does mean that people will know about them. And the other type of society? The ones so small and insignificant that their half-life is quite long? You don't have to worry much about those ones, because who cares if me and my friend meet in my mom's basement for 20 years? If our actions are so insignificant as to go unnoticed, then we might as well not exist. And if our actions are significant enough to be noticed (political actions, serial killers, secret charity givers, literally anything), then we will be eventually discovered, if only from our ripple effect on society. People are surprisingly good at noticing those kinds of ripples even with scant data available, and AIs are now getting even better at it than people are. And they don't lack data like human minds do.

Your video on the Knights of the Golden Circle seems to act on the idea they were gone or inactive by the civil war, but they didn't officially dissolve until 1863, and had been active throughout much of the war itself. I am curious if this was an oversight or just to save time.

Vague, context-less discussion/sort of spoilers for Alan Wake 2, but I know there's some people out there that freak out if anything vaguely spoiler-shaped appears even close to their peripheral vision ("Oh my gods, you can just tell me this story has people in it! Ruined forever!) And have I put enough text here to block out potential spoilers and shoo away anyone that truly would be upset yet? Okay. Vague, context-less discussion of Alan Wake 2 below: . . . . . . . I love that one of the points you've raised here is something that comes up in AW2 - It's less foreshadowing, more of a hint that there's more going on than what seems to be the surface-level situation. Near the end of the game, one of the leaders of the cult that's been present (and seemingly menacing/sinister) throughout the whole game basically says what you said, nearly word-for-word, echoing the same thought Saga (the other PC/Protagonist, aside from Alan) had said near the start of the game: "What kind of cult calls themselves a cult?"

Its from an Indiana Jones movie.

One thing you should have mentioned here in Lies that you didn't. In your Yakuza Episode, you have it opening in Yokohama in 1809. The problem is that the version of Yokohama you have in the episode didn't exist in 1809. Before the port was established in 1859, Yokohama was a tiny, insignificant fishing village far from any roads or commerce. It certainly wasn't big enough to have its own gambling hall. In fact, Yokohama's insignificance and the distance from the main roads are the primary reason it was chosen to be the port of entry for foreign trade. The correct setting should have been "Yokohama, 1860" or something like "Osaka, 1809". Fun Fact: The first choice for the trade port was actually the nearby Tokaido Road post town of Kanazawa-Juku, but the Shogun nixed that idea, as he was uncomfortable with foreign merchants having direct access to Edo via the Tokaido. Today, Kanazawa is a ward within the greater City of Yokohama and not too far from where I currently live.

My family have been Freemasons for generations. Not something I was never interested in(especially now as a non-binary atheist who has a problem with the racism built into the group), but it was always interesting to hear people talk conspiratorially about a group your father, grandfather, and great grandfather were all in. ...I was in Order of the Arrow, which is a secret society within Boy Scouts(now Scouts of America). Never thought of it in that terms, but that is 100% it. There was so many rituals and you were not supposed to talk to people not in the Order about any of it. Even other Scouts.

Anti- Catholic conspiracy theories: I use to laugh at my grandmother claiming that Catholics hid guns in their basement--stockpiling them for the Papist revolution. I am therefore shocked to learn about Fathet Couglin's "insurrection" movement in the mid-20th century. My grandmother was right!!! (partly.)
