slavery was deeply woven into the fabric of the Genoese economy, especially traffic and girls who were only 13 or 14 years old.

Every Genoese household, even modest ones, had one or two female slaves.

Although Christianity prohibited bondage, an exception was made for these non-Christian slaves.

They were Russian, Arab, Mongol, Bulgarian, Bosnian, Albanian, and Chinese.

Slave traders and pirates sold them on a regular basis to Genoa. Occasionally, their wide net included a Christian girl whom they kidnapped and would return for a high ransom. The transactions were formal, notarized, and deeded.

The personal demands that Columbus made of King Joo were far more onerous and unrealistic. He wanted a title, preferably Knight of the Golden Spurs that would permit him and his descendants to style themselves Don.

He also wished for himself the grandest title he could think of, Admiral of the Ocean Sea. With all the privileges of rank, prerogatives, rights, revenue and immunities enjoyed by the admirals of Castile.

she's she's she complains that people try to judge him, quote, from a contemporary perspective rather than from the values and practices of his own time.

So, that's the guy he's named after and that's relevant because he is going to take that name that he gets super literally.

people would gather in town squares day after day sitting for hours listening transfixed by this fascinating but horrific moral tales about the wages of sin.

Bernardino focused especially on sins committed by witches consorting with the devil, the sin of sodomy and the sin of fraternizing with the Jews.

as the anchors were dropped, the men stood on the decks and gazed at the Green Island, a soothing sight after so long at sea with only gray blue water and sky and saw naked people.

She is clear to note that she's trying to look at him, quote, from a contemporary perspective rather than from the values and practices.

It did not automatically imply conquest or ownership.

And I ended up talking to an author named Nisad Hajari whose book I reference quite a bit in the second episode, which drops 22, and you know, the first thing he told me was you can't cover everything.

I ended up talking to an author named Nisad Hajari whose book I reference quite a bit in the second episode, which drops 22 and you know, the first thing he told me was you can't cover everything. So once you understand that that's going to be the case and it's going to be a lot easier and it's true like you can't cover everything and I kind of struggled with the narrative I wanted to tell because so many of the stories out there are very biased.

and also like it's as an artist like for me for me specifically, it's like I want to give you like the crumbs of something and then I want you to look into it more right? Like I shouldn't have to force feed you information. I should keep you intrigued enough for you to want to look at this information on your own, you know, so like that's how I how I see it, but I am in a little bit of a different position because film and TV like I program several film festivals and things like that. So I'm also looking through that with that kind of eye, but like I can understand people are like, oh, I wish they talked about this. I wish they talked about this, but you know, you know, I'm just like well, it's six episodes. They have to do all this exposition. They have to do this. That's just impossible, but people aren't thinking that way, but I think it really captured the emotion and the trauma of that event and how sad it is because it is sad to be like, I'll never get to see where my great-grandparents lived or my grandparents because they were children, you know, at least until they decide that's not the case anymore. But yeah, I can understand people's criticism, but I think for me personally, I thought it did a really good job and actually the woman who created the exhibit that I saw in Pakistan that really spearheaded this whole thing for me actually directed episodes 4 and 5 of Miss Marvel. So which is really cool.

She wanted to write a book that would synthesize all her knockoff Buddhist and Hindu beliefs with American spiritualism.

It was founded on one major claim. All the religions of the world, both those currently followed and the ones to come, derived from one common source, ancient hermetic philosophy.

She does eventually come out with her book.

It was founded on one major claim. All the religions of the world, both those currently followed and the ones to come, derived from one common source, ancient hermetic philosophy.

Its basic premises are contained in Corpus Hermeticum, a text of unclear origin translated into Italian and popularized in the 15th century by a Renaissance philosopher, Marsilio Ficino.

Material reality is a product of a complex evolutionary process which subtle spiritual levels of existence create new layers, denser and more physical.

Humans evolved downwards, so to speak, from advanced spiritual beings to more lowly forms.

The human spirit trapped inside the physical body misses the perfection of higher planes of reality.

one of the books that Helena would have grown up loving from this guy is Zanoni which is about a secret order of Rosicrucians who had psychic powers and lived forever.

There is one really good book by podcaster Mike Duncan, who does the Revolutions podcast called The Storm Before the Storm.

As early as 195, Cato the Elder warned his colleagues, 'We have crossed into Greece and Asia, places filled with all the allurements of vice, and we are handling the treasures of kings. I fear that these things will capture us rather than we them.'

Every few years, the Senate would attempt to rein in the ostentatious displays of wealth, but the resulting limitations inevitably went unheeded and unenforced. By fatal coincidence, the Roman people at the same moment both acquired a taste for vice and obtained a license for gratifying it.

moving to a white institution in the north repeated the trauma of moving to a white seminary in the south, which Thomas described in an interview with the crisis the magazine of the NAACP thus quote. So you leave that all black environment and you go into an environment where you are the only black and you are sitting where you live day in day out and attend classes and the only blacks you see are the two women who work in the kitchen and the rest are white people. You go through some changes going through those changes in the charged context of an integrating Northern College campus surrounded by the tenants and texts of blacks nationalism transformed him.

in that milieu Kevin Merida and Michael Fletcher reported in their 2007 biography Supreme Discomfort Thomas's edgy race consciousness stood out when he saw an interracial couple strolling on campus. He'd loudly demand do I see a black woman with a white man? How could that be until 1986 when Thomas met Virginia Lamp who is white and who would become his second wife.

And the book Terraform in Action by Scott Winkler, which has what looks like an Ottoman Janissary on the front. Not really sure what's going on there.

If you want to go read more about it, I have wasted probably four years of my life reading about it. I don't recommend it. But the answer is you can sort of kind of get it to work if you fuck with the numbers a lot. But it's if you do, it's unclear if they mean anything. You can also bypass it entirely by arguing that only works in the level of the entire world economy, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I don't care. If you do care about this, don't yell at me.
