How can we sleep when our books are burning?


This topic will be about bookburnings and the destruction of valuable information and historically accurate knowledge and data, and thus the dumbing down of future generations. Any post that can add to this topic in any shape or form is most welcome.

  • Bookburnings: most people today have no idea, they just read their (false?) history books or watch docu's on bookburnings and cheer yay! and hooray! lets party! Let's have an in depth look at what's really going on here. What is it exactly that we are burning?

  • Destroying knowledge: do you know how we built the pyramids?

  • Suppressed knowledge: are our governments technologically more advanced and well ahead of us and what are they hiding?

  • Changing history: a perfect way to change history would be to destroy the real version of historical events and put back in some fake things and disinformation i.e. what they would want us believe.

  • Knowledge is power: The more books they burn, the more liberties they can take from us. Ignorance is the path to slavery, powerless is the slave that doesn't know he is already free, as a man once said, give a man a fish and he can feed himself only for so long, because he doesn't yet know how to catch fish, though his ancestors may have been hunters gatherers, their legacy and skills were torn from his memories.

So protect that bookshelf/Kindle with your life! Not all have been so lucky throughout time!

It makes me think of Fahrenheit 451. Their solution was for each person to become a book.

I did think of that movie whilst writing this. I also thought of the dissolution of the intelligentsia in Poland during WWII.

I was thinking of the book.

Oh right! Anything anti-Semitic always makes me think of it!

Thanks for writing this. I've written a few posts on this topic and/or the topic of banning. Book burning/banning is something I am very strongly against.

Thanks @dwinblood ... if you can link me one of your best posts on it I'll RS it so it can join my own post and we can get a powerful double combo message out there!!

They are older. I don't think you can resteem them. I may reshare them later, or write a new post. :) Thanks for the offer though.

I'll keep an eye on your timeline for the future @dwinblood - thanks for your support as always ;)

Thanks for the links @dwinblood :) I'll rifle through them later once the minnow activity dies down a bit. Comments going haywire right now!!

Yep no problem, and no pressure.

interesting

Guard those books @neerju9 :)

since I'm here...I have a question.
can you tell me how to embed audio files?
I want background music (MP3, .wav, etc) for my posts..
dunno how.

I've had big problems embedding vids from outside youtube :( Nightmare! I'm not sure Everitt! ANYONE HERE ON STEEMIT?? Please comment below.

I have a dream.
Audio-visual graphic novels.

Steemit needs that kinda thing ... such a clean slate here isn't it?

Crazy days!!! Changing history and suppressing knowledge via destructive trends is on the rise. We need to electronically preserve and back up as much of the historical record as possible. Digital Data is the only way!

Blockchain is the best way @plumtechno Whole books can be stored on there now :)

multiple backups both physical AND in the cloud.

Wise man!

I have gigabytes of books stored that way.

The Gnostics have practically had their whole history and recorded knowledge-base destroyed by the burning of their works. It's sad to think how much we could know today if it weren't for the ignorant and impulsive destructive actions of others in the past.
