Science Can Be Agenda-Driven

- He positions his work as bridging academia and alternative history by collaborating with researchers.
Why Cuneiform Matters
- LaCroix traces his interest to Sumerian cuneiform tablets as the earliest preserved records.
- He emphasizes tablets survive millennia when paper and paint do not, so they hold primordial stories.
Read The Best Tablet Translations
- Read original tablets and trusted translators like George Smith and Samuel Kramer to avoid misinterpretation.
- Cross-reference versions to separate symbolic from literal content before drawing conclusions.

Why We Age—and Why We Don’t Have To
David Sinclair
In this book, Dr. David Sinclair presents a bold new theory on why we age, arguing that aging is a disease that can be treated.
He discusses recent breakthroughs from his own lab at Harvard, including the activation of newly discovered vitality genes and the role of epigenetics and metabolism in aging.
The book explores lifestyle changes such as intermittent fasting, cold exposure, and exercise, as well as emerging anti-aging therapies, to help people live younger and healthier for longer.
Sinclair also delves into the philosophical and ethical implications of extending human lifespan, emphasizing that these methods are not against nature but rather a continuation of human efforts to improve health and longevity.

Timaeus
Plato
In 'Timaeus,' Plato presents a detailed account of the formation of the universe.
The dialogue is primarily delivered through long monologues by Timaeus and Critias.
It describes the universe as the product of a rational, purposive, and beneficent agency, created by a divine Craftsman (Demiurge) who imitates an eternal and unchanging model.
The work discusses the distinction between the eternal and the physical worlds, the composition of the four elements (earth, air, fire, and water) linked to Platonic solids, and the creation of the cosmic soul and its role in governing the universe.
The dialogue also touches on various philosophical themes, including the nature of God, the distinction between the sensible and intellectual, and the concepts of time and space.
