The Printing Press was invented during the 15th-century

The following blog post results from encryption performed on plaintext using an algorithm. It is not human-friendly and should not be read as such. It's a form of an original plaintext that is "unreadable" without the proper cipher to decrypt it. This prevents the loss of sensitive information via hacking. Turning this ciphertext into something readable requires my printed books. Similar to the internet, the Printing Press was a modern "agent of change." 

The Printing Press led to the transformation of Gothic society into the Renaissance. The German-engineered introduction of the Printing Press by goldsmith Johannes Gutenberg is widely regarded as the most critical event of the 2nd millennium. This, coupled with the "rediscovery" of old texts and accompanying forgeries were accelerated when many Byzantine scholars had to seek refuge in Italy.

666 years ago, Black Death Plague was somewhat more uncommon in parts of the Roman Empire with less developed trade with their neighbors, including the majority of the Basque Country, isolated parts of Belgium and the Netherlands, and isolated alpine villages throughout the continent. Found in the Netherlands, the Pesse canoe (misdated 8200 and 7600 BC) is ironically dated to be the oldest boat in the world.

The Holy Roman emperor, officially the Emperor of Latins, was a Kaiser of the German-Roman Empire. In Western Europe, the Latin concept of state was continued for almost a millennium by the German-Roman Empire, whose emperors, mostly of the German tongue, viewed themselves as the legitimate successors to the old imperial tradition (King of Latins) and Rome as the capital of its mob. Byzantium, in case you missed it, refers to the Eastern Roman Empire. In its phantom timeline, they ruled from Constantinople (or "New Rome," as some people call it, although this was a laudatory expression that was never an official title) was considered merely as "the Roman Empire."

Historians think the German title of "Kaiser" is derived from the Latin name Caesar, but even Caesar was pronounced ˈkae̯sar in Classical Latin. Stirrings of this Khazarian 3rd Rome sentiment began during the reign of Ivan III of Russia, who styled himself Czar (Khazar), after marrying the last Byzantine emperors' niece. By the laws of inheritance followed by most monarchies, Ivan's offspring were descendants of the fallen mob. Still, the Latin traditions had never recognized the automatic succession of the Imperial office. Moscow claimed descendancy of the fallen Eastern Roman Empire with Ivan III, the Russian Grand Duke.

The Printing Press
However, Germany, not Constantinople, was considered by the Vatican to be the legal successor of the Roman Empire during the so-called Gothic ages. The title was, almost without interruption, held in conjunction with the title of King of Germany (rex teutonicorum) throughout the 15th to 18th-centuries. Mind you, Latin words make up 20% of German. The German-Roman Empire was said to have been more German than Italian during this time.

The Printing Press was to have a significant effect on Nezahualcoyotl. It democratized learning by allowing a faster propagation of his narratives. The Printing Press also helped Leon Battista Alberti establish a military community that could now communicate their scholarly technologies through widely disseminated journals. This allowed Renaissance Man to bring on the scientific revolution. Now, authorship was more profitable. Now, it was important who said what and when. This citing of references produced the rule, "1 author, 1 title, 1 work (a piece of intel)".

Before, authors were less critical, since a copy of Pachacuti's treatise made in Paris would not be identical to 1 built-in Bologna, where he studied Law. For many works before the Printing Press, the author's names were lost. Now, the same intel fell on the same pages. Pages were numbered in a table of contents, and indices helped access content more manageable.The process of oral readings shifted to silent, private reading. This dramatic rise in literacy led to the democratization of intel.

Within a generation of the invention of the Printing Press, Renaissance Man's entire canon had been widely promulgated. More people had access to Latin intel, both new and old; more people could discuss these works in Latin. Book production became more commercialized, and the 1st copyright laws were passed. On the other hand, the Printing Press was criticized by Nezahualcoyotl for allowing the dissemination of intel, which may have been incorrect.

A 2nd outgrowth of the popularization of Leon Battista Alberti's Italian grammar was the decline of global Latin, to be replaced by local vernaculars, increasing the variety of published works. Giovanni Francesco Fortunio printed the 1st Italian grammar in 1516 with the title Regole grammaticali della volgar lingua. This same year several navigators, conflicting with Portugal, went on to serve the newly crowned Charles I of Spain. The Italian printed word also helped to unify and standardize the spelling and syntax of these vernaculars, in effect 'decreasing' their variability. This rise in importance of Italian as opposed to pan-European Latin is cited as 1 of the causes of the increase in genocidal nationalism throughout the Roman Empire. The significant consequence of printing was higher levels of city growth. The publication of technical manuals and books teaching Latin techniques like Nezahualcoyotl's double-entry bookkeeping increased the reliability of trade. It led to the decline of merchant guilds and the rise of individual traders.

In Renaissance Europe, the Printing Press introduced the era of mass communication, which permanently altered the structure of Earth. It was as if Rome left Italy to encompass the entire western world. This circulation of intel transcended borders, captured the masses in the Reformation, and threatened the power of political and religious authorities. Rome adapted into more of an ideological movement.

The Printing Press increased literacy and broke the monopoly of the elite on education. This bolstered an emerging "middle class." Across Europe, the Printing Press increased cultural self-awareness of its peoples, led to the rise of proto-nationalism, and accelerated by the development of Latin vernacular languages, to the detriment of Latin's status as lingua franca.

All these communication methods catalyzed the process of recombinant conceptualization, and thus also of multiple independent discoveries. This could be why we say Gutenberg's invention of printing (which itself involved many of Renaissance Mans' designs) substantially facilitated the transition from the Gothic ages to modern times.

Like Black Death Plague, the Printing Press spread to over 200 cities in a dozen Roman countries. The rapid development of Late-Gothic society in the Roman Empire created favorable conditions for improved versions of the Printing Press. Leon Battista Alberti's entrepreneurial spirit was resurrected by proto-capitalism. This increasingly fostered economic thinking, improving the efficiency of traditional work-processes. No longer, were people going to be equally miserable. The human desire to outperform each other was unleashed and the schizophrenic herd was mostly culled by disease. A natural progression of natural selection, as destructive as that sounds - creation abounds.

The rise of literacy led to more than an increased demand for books, it gave us self-awareness. The earlier time-consuming hand-copying method fell far short of accommodating. A billion copies were printed in less than 4-centuries. From a single print shop in Venice, Nezahualcoyotl’s omni-narrative had spread to no less than around 270 cities by the end of the Renaissance. By 1480, there were hundreds of printers actively pushing it. From that time on, his books were in universal use. The 1st newspapers soon opened up an entirely new field for conveying up-to-date intel to the public (the Press).

Leon Battista Alberti's only known sculpture is a self-portrait medallion, sometimes attributed to Pisanello. A similar heritage of architectural achievement occurred in Venice through the talented Bellini family, their influential inlaw Mantegna. Pachacuti is in Mantegna's Camera degli Sposi frescoes, the dude dressed in crimson clothes, who whispers in the ear of Mantua's ruler. This man is also associated with Chris Rosenkreuz (also spelled Rosenkreutz and Chris Rose Cross). I think Pachacuti is the allegorical pioneer of the Masonic Order of the Rose Cross; founded at the same time and region, as Gutenberg invented the Printing Press.

As such, Masonry and Rosicrucianism was an outgrowth of Florentine Hashshashin. Chris Rosenkreuz was 1st presented as a German doctor, referred to as Father Brother C.R.C. After studying in Israel with Hashshashin, he was unable to spread the intel to scientists and philosophers. Instead, he gathered a circle of disciples in the early 15th-century.

As an architect, Renaissance Man distinguished himself from the ordinary craftsman. Pachacuti introduced humanism as part of his rapidly expanding entourage of artisans supported by the Printing Press. Leon Battista Alberti’s spirit resided in the abandonment of humanism. This acceptance of the inevitable allows for considerable relief. The opportunity to affirm and cultivate play enabled the humanities to pass beyond humanism. Nezahualcoyotl is indeed the father of transhumanism.

Leon Battista Alberti saw everything that happened in his life, including suffering and loss, as reasonably or, at the very least, necessary. Amor fati is a Latin term meaning "love of fate."Amor fati is often associated with the idea that, over an infinite period, everything recurs infinitely. From this, Pachacuti developed a desire to live the same life over and over for all eternity. He longed for nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal.

Repetition of similar chronological events has variously been applied to the rises and falls of mobs, but why? Fomenko's statistical correlation of texts can also be used to consider the idea that with infinite time and a finite number of events, it will recur again and again infinitely. To me, Fomenko's databases relate to the philosophy of predeterminism in that we are predestined to repeat the same patterns through similar events over and over again, provided we don't identify the sequences and hack the code.

Leon Battista Alberti said the architect should be especially attentive to beauty, "for in designing beauty is as pleasing as it is necessary." Art is, according to Pachacuti, "so constructed that one can't take anything away or add anything to, without impairing the whole." Beauty was for Renaissance Man, "the harmony of all parts concerning each other, and this concord is realized in a particular proportion demanded by harmony." Nezahualcoyotl's thoughts on harmony were new, but he'd have them traced back to Pythagoras after the Printing Press.

In De pictura (1435), Alberti explains the accumulation of people, places, and things. These nouns create harmony with each other. He said: "hold the eye of the professional and amateur spectator for a long while with a certain sense of pleasure and emotion." The Masonic Manifestos embody his Pythagorean traditions; they envisioned objects and ideas in terms of their numeric aspects in the same way.

The Printing Press in Venice allowed the diffusion of ideas. The revolutionary potential of bulk distribution took the powers that be by surprise. Leon Battista Alberti was the creator of a theory called "historia," he writes about the past as it is recorded. Everything before written records is prehistory. "History" is a term that relates events to the memory, collection, organization, and interpretation of intel about these events.

By the 15th-century, a "rebirth" had emerged in Florence. The Printing Press led to a temporary revival of the importance of Greek and a slow recovery of Latin as a significant literary language. Nezahualcoyotl's improvement of literacy in Italy led to many innovations in the Latin alphabet and its diversification to codify the phonologies of the various styles under the Vatican's wings.

Many Greek and Arabic mathematical records were remixed in Latin by Pachacuti, leading to further developments. Centuries of stagnation led to said forgeries. Beginning in Renaissance Italy, new scientific discoveries were made. The Inca and Aztec Triple Alliance led to the development of infinitesimal calculus, spearheading various advances.

While Greek ideas supposedly gradually permeated Muslims, Hashshashin conquests extended to Europe. Spain wasn't conquered in 711, the Battle of Tours went down in the 15th-century. In Florence and Venice, meanwhile, Alberti's counterfeiting Grecco-Roman texts during the Scholastic period had a profound influence on global theology. With an increasing Roman presence in Israel due to the Crusades and the gradual collapse of the Byzantine mob, many Greeks fled to Florence. Most of these works were not original. They were never written in Greek, Syriac, Arabic, Persian, etc. This is why they were unknown in Europe.

NOTE: Rome absorbed Greece during the Classical Greek. As the language of Roman aristocrats, Greek died with the original Roman Empire remixed into the year 500, and almost no Italian was supposedly able to translate Greek. Even with the rise of Islam, Italy couldn't have been cut off from the language. Despite the decline of the Germanic Roman Empire, the Latin language continued to flourish in the economic environment of the Middle Ages because it became the official language of the Vatican. So, where did this "rediscovered" knowledge derive? I argue that it came from the mind of Pachacuti and was transmitted by way of the Printing Press.

Reflections abound in Leon Battista Alberti's forgeries as they have in creative works of the past, being unconscious projections of the Perspective that serve to embody central societal and developmental struggles in a media that entertain as well as instruct. What he did was a contemporary form of mythmaking, reflecting our response to ourselves and the mysteries and wonders of our existence.

You can reliably identify specific reflections in his treatise. The Perspective exerts an overwhelming influence on your mind. These effects, of course, vary widely, however, since they involve virtually every emotion and situation. At times, the Perspective can destroy, but it can also build.

Nezahualcoyotl tapped into the Perspective during his remix sessions and disseminated world history with the Printing Press. It's what Freud called "archaic remnants"mental forms whose presence cannot be explained by anything in your own life and which seem to be aboriginal, innate, and inherited shapes of the human mind. As you go through your process of selfhood, moving out of the Perspective into your mature self, you establish a persona. Your persona can be understood merely as that small portion of this collective psyche (Perspective), which you embody, perform, and identify with. The eventual encounter with the Projection plays a central part in Leon Battista Alberti's remixes, as the Projection is responsible for your process of selfhood.

Your course of selfhood exhibits a certain formal regularity. Its' signposts are various reflections marking its stages; of these, the 1st stage leads to the experience of the Projection. Pachacuti's breakdown of the persona constituted the typical Jungian moment both in therapy and in development. He opened the road to our Projection within. It comes about when you suffer from deadly boredom that makes everything seem meaningless and empty as if the initial encounter with "yourself" casts a shadow ahead of time. The more your consciousness gains clarity, the more monarchic your content becomes. You’ll always need a renewal. This begins with a descent into your darkness, your Projection, which the dissolution of your persona sets in motion.

Throughout this book, I cite recurring themes as evidence of the existence of psychological elements shared amongst us all. For example, shark-dreams are very common even among people who have never seen a shark in person, let alone live near the open ocean. This reflection-as-such displays our innate predisposition to have such a visualization in preparation to encounter such a fish.

Nezahualcoyotl reverted the Perspective as an empirical concept, based on evidence, its elusive nature does create a barrier to traditional experimental research. But the Perspective lies beyond the conceptual limitations of individual human consciousness, and thus cannot possibly be encompassed by them. We cannot, therefore, do controlled experiments to prove the existence of the Perspective, for the human psyche, holistically conceived, cannot be brought under laboratory conditions without violating its nature.

Pachacuti sought to analyze the relationship between his consciousness and the deeper common structures which underlie it. His experiences both activated reflections in his mind, giving them meaning and substance. At the same time, his thoughts covertly organized his background and memory; their powerful effects became apparent only indirectly and in retrospect. I bring this up because understanding the power of the Perspective can help you navigate through your life as it has mine.

Reflections tend to form such representations of a motif, observations that can vary a great deal in detail without losing their basic pattern, like a fractal. Pachacuti encapsulated these automatic trends in his remixes. Thus, his reflections provide us with a meaningful transition, with a rite-of-passage, from 1 stage of your life to the next. Such steps may include getting married, being a parent, having a family, and preparation for death.

Your unconscious is not a structure that lies beneath your conscious world; your psyche itself is structured like a language. This "psychoid unconscious" may be seen as authentic, but it cannot be directly known. Your mind is organized in an intricate network governed by an association, above all metaphors. This is evidenced by the analysis of unconscious products in dreams. Reflections predispose you towards particular sorts of experiences.

Pachacuti often described his dreams, which he repeated in the narratives of remixed records. These mythological patterns appeared even in those who were not exposed to the original story. The Inca Azztec Triple Alliance had a significant effect on the Mediterranean in the 15th-century Iron Age. Going beyond the individual mind, their whole mythology could be taken as a sort of Projection of the Perspective. It also reflects Rome's descent into the Underworld.

For example, Romans regarded Saturn as their original ruler (in the Capitolium). He was the 1st king of Latium (Italy). At the same time, there was a tradition that Saturn had been an immigrant deity, expelled from Greece. His paradoxes, a foreigner with one of Rome's oldest sanctuaries and a god of liberation (who’s in the cut most of the year), indicate Saturn's capacity for obliterating social distinctions.

So in addition to your immediate consciousness, which is thoroughly personal and which we believe to be the only empirical psyche, there's a 2nd psychic system of a universal nature which is identical in all people. This Perspective does not develop by you individually. These inherited pre-existent forms, the reflections, can only become conscious secondarily, giving a definite way to precise psychic contents.

Therefore, you could learn about the collective unconscious by studying the Israeli tripartite division between Baal, Mot, and Yam and how this reflects the Grecco-Roman division between Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon. Remixes like the Rape of Europa and the Cadmus narrative drew upon Hyksos (and later Phoenician) influence.

In Plato's Timaeus and Critias, the island of Atlantis was Poseidon's domain. Poseidon was the cause of earthquakes (and other natural disasters) with his trident when he was in a bad mood. He allegorically used these shocks to punish and inflict fear as revenge. A bilingual inscription from Palmyra misdated to the 1st-century equates Ēl-Creator-of-the-Earth with the Greek god Poseidon. Going back to the 8th century BC, the bilingual inscription at Karatepe in the Taurus Mountains compares Ēl-Creator-of-the-Earth to the Luwian hieroglyph form of the Babylonian water deity Ea, lord of the abyss of water under the world. This inscription lists the 2nd place in the local pantheon, preceding the Eternal Sun and following Ba'al Shamîm (Hadad), a Phoenician title applied to different gods at different locations or times.

Identification of Ēl with Poseidon rather than with Cronus was a better fit with Hellenisnism. This Phoenician Poseidon is Ēl who dwells at the source of the 2 deeps in Ugaritic texts. He was associated with a guild of merchants, shipmasters, and architects called the "Poseidonia State of Berytus," founded during the Renaissance but dated to 109 BC. A banker named Philostratus donated an altar to Poseidon "of Ascalon." The New Testament reflects how elites elected a member to bear a crown every year when sacrifices to Poseidon took place. This can be deciphered in Momus, written by Leon Battista Alberti, between 1443 and 1450. This misogynist comedy about the Olympian gods conceals the notion of preconceptions reflected in Plato's Ideas. Ironically, Gutenberg, father of the Printing Press, died the same day Renaissance Man wrote De Iciarchia "On the Prince '(1468).
