Wikisolver is a collaborative website that compiles, in one place, an extensive list of major problems threatening humanity’s very existence. In response, the site offers strategic solutions based on documented observations and facts. It is not, nor does it aspire to be, a technical manual. On the other hand, neither is it pseudoscience because the underlying data presented herein has been gathered from nature itself or documented from reputable and verifiable sources.
The Main Page is organized into 3 sections: The top horizontal yellow menu is a handy navigational tool to pivotal issues. The vertical cyan Posts on the left is a table of contents of topics and related subtopics. Each item contains posts with analyses, supporting links, commentary, and suggestions on what to do about them. The item entitled “Sound” at the bottom of the list contains narrated posts. Finally, below the latter, there’s an indexed table of contents consisting of external links to websites with related information. This is a handy feature intended to save the reader countless hours of tedious online confirmation and research.
The inspiration for this website stems firstly from the realization that all these issues are really interlinked parts of a giant amorphous puzzle, a Frankenstein-style uncontrolled and uncontrollable man-made economic and political monstrosity designed for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many. And here gender discrimination applies, for but for a few exceptions all the pivotal financial, political and military decisions made over the centuries which have brought us to where we are were made by men. This is overwhelmingly supported by the fact that with a few exceptions, institutionalized democracy and its offspring –the female vote– are, in the annals of human history, recent phenomena. Secondly, there’s what can only be called cultural, ethnic and even racial arrogance and discrimination. Mainstream media as well as some western and eastern global political leaders speak and act as if no historical alternative exists to the moral and ethical standards, if any, they follow to enforce their will. By so doing, they infer that our day and age represents, based on our respective legacies of philosophic/religious persuasions and technological achievements, the pinnacle of human civilization. In fact, that is at best questionable.
Unknown ancient civilizations have left an indelible mark on the record. Among these are Göbekli Tepe in Turkey, which dates back to 9500 BCE, Tiahuanaco in Bolivia, Teotihuacán in Mexico, and of course, the Maya in Mesoamerica. The Maya are of particular interest because their religious/philosophical beliefs and profound technological achievements, which are many, were not influenced by the Old World. Incidentally, the calendar round puts to rest the myth that the wheel was unknown to them. They just didn’t use it for transportation purposes because they lacked beasts of burden. In addition, as shown, the calendar had to have some type of supporting infrastructure, possibly wooden, to hold it in place as the wheels rotated to calculate past and future dates –a rudimentary analog computer, no less. Their mastery of other disciplines is either documented or can be inferred. These include the Dresden Codex –a book of paper made from the pounded bark of a wild species of Ficus and written in Mayan hieroglyphs that contains astronomical and astrological tables, religious references, seasons of the earth, illness and medicine, conjunction of the planets and moons (plural intentional), and the ruins themselves. The latter still stand with little or no subsidence after thousands of years, mute but irrefutable testimony to the Maya’s geological, architectural, mathematical and engineering prowess.
A recent aerial survey of northern Guatemala using light detection and ranging technology (or LIDAR) revealed a 650-square-mile site of hundreds of 3000-year-old cities, towns, and villages with pyramids, platforms, elevated causeways, canals, reservoirs and defense systems including walls, ramparts, and fortresses. As a result, researchers now believe that as many as 15 million people may have lived there at the time. The LIDAR scans indicate that the Maya civilization was interconnected and sophisticated, like ancient Greece and China.
But darkness overcame them. Somewhere along the line they began to disobey their most fundamental religious commandment, namely “Do not sacrifice human beings” (source: Raphael Girard, Esotericism of the Popol Vuh). They also renounced their original egalitarian standard (confirmed by the newly discovered 3000-year-old site in Aguada Fénix, Mexico, and morphed into perpetually-warring city states ruled by hereditary kings who adopted the cult of intolerable inequality and unsuccessfully used it to attempt to dominate, enslave or exterminate each other. By 900 A.D., the classic Maya civilization came to an abrupt end. Not only were the great cities completely depopulated, the ruling elite, including men, even pregnant women, and children were massacred within the burned-out ruins of palaces and cities. By the time of the Spanish arrival, the Cholan-speaking lowland Maya in the Petén jungle had reverted to egalitarian life ruled by elders who doubled as custodians of a rudimentary kernel of the ancient knowledge.
What has all this to do with us, here and now? The demise of the Maya civilization was limited in scope because they had no weapons of mass destruction with which to obliterate the entire planet nor machines capable of changing the climate. We do. The Doomsday Clock of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is set to 90 seconds to midnight, a dramatic final warning that we are on the verge extinction. It is high time that we heed the Maya experience and rebuke and abolish the cult of intolerable inequality.
