Jordan Maxwell

[cottonzway]

I would like to suggest Jordan Maxwell as a potential guest for The Paracast. Jordan is a very intresting man who has a whole bunch of information to share with others. He recently started doing interviews again and I am sure he would do one for you guys here.

Thoughts?

A whole bunch of crappy information gleaned from misreading legends and employing nonsensical etomologies you mean...

Skip Jordan, he's worthless.

[cottonzway]

That sounds like....

Your opinion. Some might agree, but others don't. He would make a good guest.

It's not my opinion that the fact that the words sun and son are homonyms in english has absolutely no bearing on those words or their meanings being completely different.

It is not my opinion that the version of english we speak is less than 500 years old and that prior versions of english did not have this connection.

It is not my opinion that this homonymous relationship is a nuance related to modern english and does not connect at all to the languages of ancient Sumer or Egypt.

It is not my opinion that Horus is one of, if not THE oldest of the egyptian deities and that his mythos has been written and re-written so many times you could cut and paste parts of it into just about any story you could think of not find anything out of place.

It IS Jordan Maxwell's OPINION that these things are not so. He and his zealous protoge Tsarion make mockery of logical thought. They're argument is not simply that "if it looks like a duck and it walks like a duck and it talks like a duck, it's a duck" but rather "if it looks like a duck, good enough!"

If you're reading this and you're not familiar with these characters, go to google video and look 'em up. I guarantee when you're done watching you wouldn't believe them if they just told you their name.

Why would you assume I wouldn't have some understanding of those issues if I was requesting Jordan Maxwell? Again, that's fine that it is your OPINION about him. Others disagree with you. obviously myself included.

You've made your point you don't like Maxwell.

Lost this thread in the forum switch... weird... anyway...

First, I wasn't assuming you weren't informed cotton, my comments were directed to others who may have been reading the thread but not posting (Gene and David, for example). Obviously you know what Jordan's about otherwise you wouldn't be requesting him.

Second, I don't entirely disagree with some of Jordan's BASIC ideas but in many cases he seems to be giving the right answer to the wrong questions. Take Jesus for example: sure he's linked to a sun god- Apollo but that's got everything to do with the politics of the early Roman church and nothing to do with Jordan's whacky sun/son word play. I knew that from my art studies long before I'd ever even heard of Maxwell...

Which brings me to the main thing that bugs me about him. Jordan Maxwell acts like he and he alone is origin of all esoteric knowledge and that NOBODY but he could have figured this stuff out. He speaks not as an authority on the subject but as THE authority. The man's ego is so massive it has it's own gravity.

Oh no, is he one of those types that understand nothing about language?

By the way, I think you meant that "son" and "sun" are homophones not synonyms. And you're right, they might sound the same today, but since English uses historical spelling it's easy to see that originally they did not.

I wasn’t trying to start a debate about Jordan Maxwell here and only to make both Gene and David aware that he is doing interviews again and that if they ever wanted him on it would be rather easy to do so. He would make a great guest and get a lot of people listening to the show.

Actually I meant "homonym", never heard of a homophone before. Oh well. Brain farts... what can you do?

Haha, well you're right too, "sun" and "son" are classed as homonyms as well. I looked it up, and they can also be classed as heterographic homophones.

Say that ten times fast.
