world's GDP prior to the muslim invasion and was still the richest

country in the world in the 18th century prior to the British invasion

Some amazing facts about you and me:

 

 

Yes, all great

 

New empires

 

Feed upon the old.

 

 

India too,

 

Like Great Britain, was once a great

 

Predator.

 

 

All science and technology is

 

No more liberating

 

Than enslaving

 

 

(Math functioning first:

 

To tax.

 

 

Sublimated thuggery,

 

Something Donald Trump

 

Knows much about.

 

 

Not that thugs are

 

Either " good " or " bad "

 

 

In nonduality)

 

 

 

" Help, police,

 

The big bully

 

Is beating up

 

The little bully, "

I was not going to say anything but one of the " facts " happen to be

my old hobby studying the relationship between the indo-european

languages. Sanskrit is at best an old, very ancient relative of the

proto-indo-european language but not the mother Lucy out of the

steppes.
