“ The idea that a bunch of white guys got together and only allowed the books that would keep said white guys in power is so stupid I can’t even begin to explain it.”
When you bring race into a conversation when it has exactly zero bearing, it immediately reduces your believability. Given the location, would they even be what we consider “white” anyway?
The idea that a bunch of people got together and decided which books were allowed and which weren’t is without question. Whether they had ulterior motives is up for debate. Since no one here knows what these motivations are (we are simply expected to trust that they are pure) we may or may not be fully informed. Just as in how Pfizer is adamant about hiding their data, any historical texts that are hidden from the public tend to support the idea that we aren’t being told the complete story.
Open up the old texts to all and let’s get to the bottom of it. I myself don’t know the answer but I do know that you don’t know it either. No one here does.
who said they were white guys?
