    I think it’s more that the older an idea that survived the more credible it is. Also not perfect, but it’s why it seems to make sense.

      That’s a fair point! And ya know initially I was like “but what about orientalism, and the sorta ‘mystic healing guru’ nonsense”, but then again a bunch of the Eastern spiritual traditions or whatever do go back real far. Plus idk, have to admit we are all kinda suckers for “thrilling ancient (magical?) revelation”, lol
