Send us a textRichard Chambers, founder of Starseeds Changing the World (www.starseedschangingtheworld.com, Richard_d_chambers on Insta), co-founder of the Kualama Foundation, quantum life coach and creator of the Crystal Academy, shares deep wisdom regarding the critical nature of the planet's bio-diversity. Richard gained this crucial information from the sacred tribes of the mountains of Colombia and their sacred leaders, the Mamos. Richard and his wife Rosalie (aka the Rainbow Goddess, @THE RAINBOW GODDESS) previously on THE SOULFAM PODCAST,    • Video  ) were invited to spend time with the Kogi's in Colombia, a sacred tribe whose culture and mission is to safeguard the heart of the Earth. The tribe (one of four whose mission is to safeguard the heart of the Earth) has gone undisturbed for thousands of years. In this energetically-charged conversation about the critical imbalance of planet Earth's resources, Richard emphasizes the importance of humanity's responsibility to give back to the Earth, to preserve its resources and to recognize the power of nature in our every day lives. Richard and Rosalie make semi-regular trips to Colombia with small highly-curated groups to experience and understand the sacredness of the tribes' culture and our collective mission to take care of Earth. In this conversation, Richard shares how the Earth's biodiversity is a well-ordered universe in which each resource must stay in balance in order to maintain a thriving, healthy environment for all....plant, human and earthly life. The  Kogi Tribe, who escaped the Conquistadors by climbing higher and higher into the mountains, have long protected the heart of the Earth located in the mountains of Colombia. They now plea with humanity to take up the cause, to become The Fifth Tribe (four tribes currently protect Earth's heart) and protect the planet's resources.Richard carries the Mamos' message of the importance  both the biological balance of the Earth, humanity, biodiversity, the oceans, animals and our spiritual balance with nature. In this interview, Richard shares how we have lost our connectedness with spirit, connectedness with the sacred and connectedness with ourselves. In his gentle, deeply-researched ways, Richard shares the importance of returning to the sacred for ourselves, our communities and for the planet. Not to eliminate the advances of our culture, but to be in balance with all for the wealth, health and well-being of all. Richard can be contacted for speaking events, group and individual coaching and as a resource for further understanding of the sacred tribes' intention and hope for Earth's inhabitants at www.starseedschangingtheworld.com. Richard has also founded the Kualama Foundation to help support the Kogi's and Mamos in their work. Mamos Elders currently speak and hold ceremony at specific locations around the world to invite humanity to take up their sacred responsibility to protect the Earth. This revelatory interview closes with sacred prayer. We invite you to pray or to honor Richard's words as a form of meditation if you are so inclined.

À l'époque, deux « écoles » s'affrontent : les partisans de Newton qui pensent que notre planète est aplatie aux pôles et ceux qui, comme Descartes, sont persuadés qu'elle a la forme d'un œuf. Pour relever ce formidable défi lancé à la science, ils étaient une dizaine de savants aventuriers dont trois académiciens, Charles Marie de La Condamine, Pierre Bouguer, Louis Godin, et un botaniste, Joseph de Jussieu.L'apport de la mission sera considérable. Outre ses calculs pour connaître la forme de la Terre, La Condamine ramènera en France le quinquina et le caoutchouc, et il sera le premier scientifique à décrire et cartographier la « rivière des Amazones ». Quant à Joseph de Jussieu, il passera 35 ans à explorer la botanique de l'Amérique australe, expédiant en France une quantité considérable de descriptions de plantes, de planches d'herbier, de dessins et aquarelles, tous conservés aujourd'hui au Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle.Membre de la Société de Géographie, Bernard Jimenez, notre invité en studio, a suivi les pas de ces intrépides explorateurs pendant plusieurs années, depuis les cimes glacées de la cordillère des Andes jusqu'au cœur des jungles luxuriantes. Ce minutieux travail de terrain vient compléter les sources historiques pour restituer avec précision sa compréhension des lieux et des événements qui s'y sont déroulés. Grâce au récit vivant et à la très riche iconographie que livre ici l'auteur, nous voilà plongés au siècle des Lumières pour revivre une grande odyssée humaine sur un continent où à l'époque tout était nouveau.

Originally hailing from what is now the southern United States, the Mexica would enter the Valley the Mexico to find the place pretty crowded already. The only real spot left was a swampy marshy island in the middle of Lake Texcoco. Through innovation and engineering they created floating gardens to grow crops and sustain their growing population. The island that was once their disadvantage had now help them to grow and become valley's dominant peoples, ruling from their city of Tenochtitlan . Grand palaces, magnificent temples of sacrifice and enormous outdoor markets had the newly arrived Spanish Conquistadors in shock and awe. Well it wasn't long before Hernan Cortez and his Spanish troops started trying to take over the place.

A slightly-longer Sunday morning thought piece than usual today, but one that is well worth the effort I hope you'll discover.A reminder that:* This August I am going to the Edinburgh Fringe to do one of my “lectures with funny bits”. This one is all about the history of mining. As always, I shall be delivering it at Panmure House, where Adam Smith wrote Wealth of Nations. It's at 2pm most afternoons. Please come. Tickets here.* My first book and many readers' favourite, Life After the State - Why We Don't Need Government (2013), is now back in print - with the audiobook here: Audible UK, Audible US, Apple Books. I recommend the audiobook ;)Isaac Newton, who, along with William Shakespeare, Leonardo Da Vinci and Aristotle, must be one of the cleverest individuals to have ever lived, made groundbreaking contributions to physics, mathematics, optics, mechanics, philosophy and astronomy. The laws of motion, the theory of gravitation and the reflecting telescope were among his many contributions. He was also a brilliant alchemist, obsessed with theology and biblical prophecy. As if that isn't enough, he is credited with the design of the Gold Standard, the primary monetary system of the world for over two hundred years. Today we explore how this brilliant system was accidental.In 1695, counterfeit coins accounted for more than a tenth of all English money in circulation. Massive LOL: the English used the counterfeit coins, in particular, to pay their taxes. The Exchequer that year reported no more than ten good shillings for every hundred pounds of revenue. Coin clipping was also a major problem, especially of old coins, and silver coins were disappearing from circulation altogether. Silver was worth more on the continent as bullion than it was in the UK as tender, so arbitrageurs shipped coins abroad, melted them down, and sold them for gold. Everyone from the Jews to the French was blamed, but by 1695 it was almost impossible to find legal silver in circulation. It had all been melted down and sold.This all led to a scarcity of money, which inhibited trade. More damage was caused to the English nation in just one year by bad money than “by a quarter century of bad kings, bad Ministers, bad Parliaments and bad Judges”, said the historian Thomas Babington Macaulay.King William begged the House of Commons to respond to the crisis and, seeking help, Secretary of the Treasury, William Lowndes wrote letters to England's wisest men, asking their advice: among them, philosopher John Locke, architect Sir Christopher Wren, banker Sir Josiah Child, and scientist, Sir Isaac Newton.Newton was in his mid 40s and probably not far off the peak of his powers. He had published his most famous work, the Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, just eight years earlier in 1687, and it had established him as the smartest man in the country. He would now put his great mind to money.With the formation of the Bank of England the previous year, Newton had become aware of the possibilities of paper money. “If interest be not yet low enough for the advantage of trade,” he wrote, “the only proper way to lower it is more paper credit till by trading and business we can get more money.” He could see that token value and intrinsic value were not necessarily one and the same.It was also obvious to Newton that the currency criminals were rational actors. They would continue to clip, counterfeit, and sell abroad while there was profit in it. Bullion smuggling carried the death sentence, yet still it went on. Coercion alone would not be enough to stop it from happening. The market itself needed to be changed.He came up with two measures. First, to deal with the clipping, all coins minted prior to 1662 should be called in, melted down, and, using machines, re-made into coins that had a single consistent edge. With no more hand-hammered coins in circulation, clipping coins would become that much more difficult. Re-minting the entire country's coin, however, at a time of such primitive machinery, was no small undertaking. Second, to deal with the silver issue, the amount of silver in coins should be lowered so that the silver content and the face value of the coin were the same.The thought of such a devaluation went against the psyche. The idea that token value and intrinsic value might be different was alien and Newton's second proposal was not widely welcomed. There were 20 shillings to a pound, so a shilling should contain a concomitant amount of silver.  Newton may have thought that the token was more important than the silver content, but landowners and the government, which was largely made up of them, would lose 20% of their silver by Newton's proposal. In 1696 Parliament approved the recoinage, but stipulated the new coins maintain the old weights. Newton warned that the silver outflow would continue.The following year, nudged by John Locke, Charles Montague, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, sent Newton a letter notifying him that the King intended to make him Warden of the Mint. So began his new career. Perhaps the role was only intended as a sinecure, but Newton took it very seriously.Putting his chemical and mathematical knowledge to good use, Newton got the Mint's machines working and the coins minted at a speed that defied the predictions of even the boldest optimist and, as an industrial operation, Newton's recoinage was an enormous success. Newton would also have to learn the skills of a policeman—both investigator and interrogator—and he proved masterful. This ruthless enforcer of the law, oversaw numerous investigations, exposing frauds, and then prosecuting perpetrators. Poor counterfeiters had no idea what they were up against, and many were sent to the gallows for their crimes.So good at the job of Warden was Newton that, in 1699, he was promoted and made Master of the Royal Mint, and after the Union between England and Scotland in 1707, Newton directed a Scottish recoinage that would lead to a new currency for the new Kingdom of Great Britain.He had solved the clipping issue, the counterfeiting issue was vastly improved, but silver was still making its way across the Channel, just as Newton had said it would. As long as the silver content exceeded the face value of the coins, the trade would continue. By 1715, almost all of the coins that Newton had struck between 1696 and 1699 had left t he country.Newton's studies had moved on from tides, planetary motions, and pendulums to the gold markets. He drew up an extensive table of assays of foreign coins and in doing so realised that gold was cheaper in the new markets opening up in Asia than in Europe, and thus that silver was not just being sucked out of England, but out of Europe itself to India and China where it was traded for gold.Meanwhile, the world's next great gold rush had started.If you are interested in buying gold, check out my recent report. I have a feeling it is going to come in very handy in the not-too-distant future.My recommended bullion dealer is the Pure Gold Company.World gold output doublesSome time in 1694 Portuguese deserters had found alluvial gold two hundred miles inland from Rio De Janeiro in Minas Gerais in Brazil. Soon everyone was flocking there, “white, coloured, black, Amerindian, men and women; young and old; poor and rich; nobles and commoners; laymen and clergy,” said a Jesuit priest who lived in the area. By 1724, within just three decades of the discovery, world output had doubled. By 1750, 65% of global production was emanating from Brazil. The gold made its way to Lisbon, along with sugar, tobacco and other Brazilian products - similar amounts to that which the Conquistadors had sent back to Spain the previous century - and with it the Portuguese minted their moidores coins.The Portuguese used their gold to buy English cereal crops, beef and fish, woollen goods, manufactured articles, and luxuries. Portugal imported five times as much from England as it exported to it, and it used its gold to settle the difference. The moidores, which weighed slightly more than an English guinea, worth 28 shillings, actually became currency, especially in the west country, where there were more of them than local coins. “We hardly have any money,” wrote an Exeter man in 1713, “but Portugal gold.” In London, the Bank of England began buying vast amounts of gold, “to be coined as it comes in” and the Mint began minting guineas from the moidores. By 1715 the Bank had 800 kg/25,700 t.oz, a nascent central bank reserve, and this figure would rise would to 15.5 tonnes/500,000 t.oz by 1730. So much gold coin had never been minted before and London soon overtook Amsterdam as the foremost precious metals market. Gold was coming and staying. Silver was leaving for Asia. In 1717 Newton was called on to investigate.He came up with a new system and outlined it in a report to the Lords Commissioners of His Majesty's Treasury in September 1717. Less than three months later there was a Royal Proclamation that forbade the exchange of gold guineas for more than 21 silver shillings - even if they were clipped or underweight. Thus was a guinea just over a pound, which was 20 shillings, or 113 grains of gold. The ratio of gold to silver was effectively set at roughly 1:15.5.But silver coin clipping continued, and full-weight silver coins continued to be exported to the continent, where 21 shillings of silver could still get you more than a guinea's worth of gold (just over 7.6 grams/1/4 t.oz), and to Asia, especially India and China, often via the East India Company, where silver was even more valuable. The result was that silver was used for imports, and so left the country, while exports were traded for gold, which thus came into the country.All in all, some two-thirds of that Brazilian gold is thought to have ended up in England. Hundreds of tonnes in total.Britain had always been on a silver standard. A pound was a pound of sterling silver. “In all men's minds the only true money of the country was the silver coin,” said Sir John Craig, historian of the Mint. Although that Royal Proclamation suggested a bimetallic standard, in practice, with so much silver going abroad, it moved Britain from silver to its first gold standard. Gold was more dependable than clipped silver. The future would look back on Newton as the father of the gold standard. His system proved the bedrock of Britain's domestic and international trade through the 18th century, helping it to become such a formidable commercial power. But it was an accidental gold standard. Nobody—not the institutions nor the persons involved—had had the slightest intention of creating a new monetary system on gold. Most people wanted to sustain silver as the prime coinage of the land. Newton had tried to create a functioning bimetallic standard. But market forces had other ideas.In the 1770s there was another recoinage in Britain, which, in terms of sheer scale, was unprecedented. Some 155 tonnes/5 million t.oz of gold in total, perhaps 30 times greater than Newton's recoinage of 1696-9, greater than anything attempted by Spain or Venice, or even Rome. No attempt was made to recoin silver. It was a formal admission that Britain was now on a gold standard. Newton's accidental gold standard was formalised.Anno domini for goldThe second half of the 19th century proved the golden age of the gold rush. First California, then Australia, then New Zealand, then South Africa, then Western Australia, and finally the Klondike.Aside from taxation (see Daylight Robbery), it is difficult to think of anything more overlooked that has had a more profound influence on the course of human history than the gold rush. Nations, indeed civilisations, have been formed on the back of them. (The beneficial impact of gold discoveries in Northern Spain to the Roman Empire is dramatically understated, for example). The fifty years from January 24th, 1848, were perhaps the golden era of the gold rush. The date stands as a watershed moment, the dawn of a new golden age. You might say there are two histories of gold, one before and one after 1848, akin to a BC and AD moment in time. On that day a carpenter from New Jersey by the name of James Marshall saw something shiny at the bottom of a ditch while carrying out a routine inspection of a lumbar mill he was helping build on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada in California. The scale of the gold business changed out of all proportion. The amount of metal available changed beyond all recognition. Annual production rose fivefold in five years. The Paris Mint coined 150 million Napoléons D'Or in eight years from 1850-57, compared to 65 million in the preceding 50 years. The US Mint's output of gold eagles rose fivefold.The gold price should surely fall with all the new supply, feared bankers and economists. “The price must fall,” said the Economist, wrong about everything even then. The Times agreed. French economist Michel Chevalier wrote an entire book, On the Probable Fall in the Value of Gold. But the gold price did not fall. It stayed constant. Surprisingly perhaps, the biggest casualty of the gold rush, and the dramatic increase in gold supply, was silver. Silver had been money for thousands of years. Not for much longer. Its price halved. In 1850 only Britain, Portugal, Brazil, and a handful of other nations were on the gold standard. Everyone else was on bi-metallic standards. Come 1900 China was the only major nation not on a pure gold standard. Scarcely had the discoveries in California been made when the US began minting $1 and $20 gold coins, in addition to the $10 eagle. Before the discovery, the US Mint struck $4 million worth; in 1851 it minted over $62 million worth. Gold is “virtually the only currency of the country,” said a Congressman proposing a $3 gold coin in a debate in 1853. 1853 would also prove the last time silver dollars were struck, though they still circulated. In practical terms, if not nominal, the US was moving to a gold standard. Then the Coinage Act of 1873 eliminated the standard silver dollar altogether. The act became known as the Crime of 1873. There was a rearguard action, a “silver crusade” to get silver reinstated, especially as silver supply was now increasing thanks to discoveries in Nevada, Colorado, and Mexico. There was, thought some, a “deep-laid plot” engineered by a foreign conspiracy to increase the national debt, which would have to be paid in gold. Bimetallism became a central issue of the election of 1896, when an ambitious young Democrat by the name of William Jennings Bryan won the nomination that he thought would carry him to the presidency with what is widely regarded as one of the greatest speeches in American political history. “Thou shalt not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold,” he bellowed. But no.Gold rather than silver was now in the pockets of millions of people around the world. The increased gold supply effectively sent both France and the US onto gold standards, even though nominally they remained bimetallic (the US until 1900). The move from silver to gold gathered pace in Europe from the 1870s. In 1872-3 Germany launched its new mark, followed by Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and the Netherlands. France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Italy had signed up to a Latin bimetallic monetary union in 1865, which was undermined by the tumbling silver price, and they largely abandoned the silver part of the equation after 1874. By the end of the century, every major nation bar China was on a gold standard, the classical gold standard which Isaac Newton is credited with having designed.But that classical gold standard, that golden age of sound money for which many hard money advocates of today, including yours truly, pine, was not designed and planned, it was accidental.As a the poet Robert Burns wrote:But Mousie, thou art no thy-lane,In proving foresight may be vain:The best laid schemes o' Mice an' MenGang aft agleyThe modern system of fiat money by which we operate today is also accidental, evolving from political expediency, political pressure, technological developments, deficit spending, suppressed interest rates, misguided obsession with GDP, and more. Many, especially the powerful, have exploited it for their own ends, but nobody designed a system in which 99% of money is digital, in which 99% of money is debt, in which loss of purchasing power and Cantillon Effect are built in, which robs the young, the salaried, and the saver, which makes an increase in the wealth gap inevitable and so on. The modern system is clearly in its endgame. Better systems are emerging. But endgames last a long time.Enjoy this article? Please consider becoming a paid subscriber. This is a public episode.

BEST OF: Stephen Hawking once said that “if aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans.” But this is a gross oversimplification of history. It is a narrative with truly disgusting caricatures that lack context, and therefore cultivate divisiveness and ignorance.Long before the traditional Pilgrim story, and even before Columbus, white men arrived in the Americas bringing gifts, goods, and new, sometimes similar traditions - these were largely known as the Templars. They were welcomed by many societies who saw them as the return of the white gods who built civilization in parts of the Americas. When the Spanish arrived later they were seen as the same gods, but used this religious belief to commit atrocity against a people themselves engaged in barbaric practices like human sacrifices. Conquistadors do NOT represent all Europeans. Pilgrims were religious refugees and shared a different motivation from conquistadors, and the later colonizers, settlers, land speculators, etc. Likewise, various Indian tribes welcomed Europeans just as many saw them as savages. For as many Europeans whom saw Indians as savages there were plenty who saw them as business partners, friends, and more. Long before Europeans arrived officially we know that many Indian tribes had destroyed their hunting lands and fishing waters, were at war with one another, and later became dependent on European goods, as much as Europeans were reliant on the same. Red and White men were driven into conflict largely by greed and ignorance, particularly of each others' cultures and economic systems. For all the attention focused on Plymouth, it was actually the Spanish admiral Don Pedro Menéndez de Aviles at St. Augustine in the 1860s who invited the local Timucua indigenous tribe to share in celebration and prayer for his safe arrival and the abundance of the new world.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5328407/advertisement

Today we're joined by historian Dr. Jeff Fynn-Paul to discuss his book "Not Stolen: The Truth About European Colonialism in the New World" and to answer many questions about “stolen land,” Thanksgiving, and colonialism. First, we ask the question, “Are we on stolen land?” and explain how the answer is much more complicated than we have been led to believe. We look at Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States" and how this became the standard history of America, when in reality many scholars saw him as a radical. We discuss the truth about Christopher Columbus, including the wildly inflated numbers of indigenous people he is claimed to have murdered, and the reality that historical figures are more complicated than “evil and good.” We also discuss whether Thanksgiving is oppressive and what we should make of the claim that we owe Native Americans reparations. --- Timecodes: (00:40) Intro (03:40) Smallpox blankets (05:50) 'A People's History of the United States' (08:35) Christopher Columbus (13:32) Thanksgiving (17:35) Are we on stolen land?

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Stuxnet, not Skynet: Humanity's disempowerment by AI, published by Roko on November 4, 2023 on LessWrong. Several high-profile AI skeptics and fellow travelers have recently raised the objection that it is inconceivable that a hostile AGI or smarter than human intelligence could end the human race. Some quotes from earlier this year: Scott Aaronson: The causal story that starts with a GPT-5 or GPT-4.5 training run, and ends with the sudden death of my children and of all carbon-based life, still has a few too many gaps for my aging, inadequate brain to fill in Michael Shermer: Halting AI is ridiculous. I have read the AI doomsayer lit & don't see a pathway from AI to extinction, civ termination or anything remotely like absurd scenarios like an AI turning us all into paperclips (the so-called alignment problem) Noah Smith: why aren't ChatGPT, Bing, and their ilk going to end humanity? Well, because there's actually just no plausible mechanism by which they could bring about that outcome. ... There is no plausible mechanism for LLMs to end humanity "Just turn the computer off, bro" The gist of these objections to the case for AI risks is that AI systems as we see them today are merely computer programs, and in our everyday experience computers are not dangerous, and certainly not dangerous to the point of bringing about the end of the world. People who first encounter this debate are very focused on the fact that computers don't have arms and legs so they can't hurt us. There are responses to these criticisms that center around advanced, "magical" technologies like nanotechnology and AIs paying humans to mix together cocktails of proteins to make a DNA-based nanoassembler or something. But I think those responses are probably wrong, because you don't actually need "magical" technologies to end the world. Fairly straightforward advances in mundane weapons like drones, cyberweapons, bioweapons and robots are sufficient to kill people en masse, and the real danger is AI strategists that are able to deploy lots of these mundane weapons and execute a global coup d'etat against humanity. In short, our defeat by the coming machine empire will not only be nonmagical and legible, it will be downright boring. Farcical, even. Ignominious Defeat Lopsided military conflicts are boring. The Conquistadors didn't do anything magical to defeat the Aztecs, actually. They had a big advantage in disease resistance and in military tech like gunpowder and steel, but everything they did was fundamentally normal - attacks, sieges, etc. They had a few sizeable advantages, and that was enough to collapse the relatively delicate geopolitical balance that the Aztecs were sitting on top of. Similarly, humans have killed 80% of all chimps in about a century and they are now critically endangered. But we didn't need to drop an atom bomb or something really impressive to achieve that effect. The biggest threats to the chimpanzee are habitat destruction, poaching, and disease - i.e. we (humans) are successfully exterminating chimps even though it is actually illegal to kill chimps by human law! We are killing them without even trying, in really boring ways, without really expending any effort. Once you have technology for making optimizing systems that are smarter than human (by a lot), the threshold that those systems have to beat is beating the human-aligned superorganisms we currently have, like our governments, NGOs and militaries. Once those human superorganisms are defeated, individual humans will present almost no resistance. This is the disempowerment of humanity. But what is a plausible scenario where we go from here (weak AGI systems under development) to there (the disempowerment of humanity)? Let's start the scenario with a strategically aware, agentic misaligned superhuman AGI that wants...

When Spanish missionaries arrived in what is now called Florida, there were 100,000-200,000 Timucua people in the region. Just two centuries later, there were fewer than 100. Soon, with all the people who spoke it dead, the Timucua language died out, too, preserved only in a few Spanish-Timucua religious texts. In the 21st century, linguistic anthropologist Aaron Broadwell and historian Alejandra Dubcovsky have been decoding and translating these texts to understand the Timucua language and the people who were writing it down.

There's an idea in Mexico that racism doesn't exist, that all Mexicans are “mestizo” - a homogenous blend of Spanish and indigenous. But cultural worker José Antonio Aguilar says racism is lived by Black and brown Mexicans in many ways.  He founded Racismo MX, an organization which seeks to dismantle racism, after coming to terms with his own racial reality as a “prieto” - a brown man.  We also hear from anthropologist Ismael Rivera and Aztec expert Camilla Townsend as they unravel lies the Spanish colonizers told about ancient Aztecs that still feed racist tropes today.

Five hundred years ago, a flotilla landed on the coast of Yucatán under the command of the Spanish conquistador Hérnan Cortés. While the official goal of the expedition was to explore and to expand the Christian faith, everyone involved knew that it was primarily about gold and the hunt for slaves. That a few hundred Spaniards destroyed the Aztec empire--a highly developed culture--is an old chestnut, because the conquistadors, who had every means to make a profit, did not succeed alone. They encountered groups such as the Tlaxcaltecs, who suffered from the Aztec rule and were ready to enter into alliances with the foreigners to overthrow their old enemy. In addition, the conquerors benefited from the diseases brought from Europe, which killed hundreds of thousands of locals.  Drawing on both Spanish and indigenous sources, this account of the conquest of Mexico from 1519 to 1521 not only offers a dramatic narrative of these events--including the fall of the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan and the flight of the conquerors--but also represents the individual protagonists on both sides, their backgrounds, their diplomacy, and their struggles.

What's up to my winsome warriors and resplendent rebels! This is the first installment of what will be a series of BNP original Alternate Timeline Vignettes. As Quantum physics keeps demonstrating, we live in a fantastically mysterious Universe. These vignettes roll with the theory that all possible realities exist somewhere out there in the Rabbit Holes of Space and Time. Thus, I will be periodically creating original histories describing said alternate timelines. Some, like this one, will be grounded in history but will spin off from there. Others will be concocted from whole cloth. In this inaugural chapter, a dim-witted but well-meaning podcaster travels back in time to the year 1501 and equips a cross section of leaders from across the Old Incan empire with visions of what is to come, as well as specimens of classic 21st century rifles, giving them 25 years to emulate the technology and prepare militarily and psychologically for Pizarro's first expedition of two ships and 160 Spanish conquistadors to arrive off the coast of Peru.The shuffling of events that ensues in 1526 causes a completely different timeline to unfurl on the planet, which is known in the Alt Realm as Saltwater Spaceship Earth.
