Reality is a cone—different civilizations grasp different sections and heights. Indian philosophy sees reality as divine illusion, Africans lack our concept of time, and medieval Europe had three incompatible time systems. The most shocking revelation? Historians have IRREFUTABLE evidence that premodern elite priest classes shared a secret worldview completely alien to ours—knowledge that profoundly shaped history while remaining hidden from ordinary people. This rabbit hole changed my entire perception of reality.
