He’s a philosopher who believes in UFOs and makes the case that ancient mythologies were interpretations of real events, from a potential time traveling “master” race analogous to the Titans in Greek mythology, to other events such as interactions with angels being interpretations of interacting with aliens (who may look like us, a la The Nordics).
His interpretations of mythology are what I really like, he can talk fluently about multiple mythologies and makes interesting connections between deities across various religions.
Interviews with him and Gnostic Informant I think are particularly fruitful.
I just wanted to see if anyone here watches interviews with him or has any other similar researchers in either the UFO or mythology deep dives that they enjoy.
Yes. Jorjani is extremely well read, but also not on everything. He picks and chooses, and refuses to read many texts relevant to his arguments..that is, he falls for favouritism (don't we all). His big gaps pertaining to his mentioned argument are in Sumerian / Babylonian / Akkadian lore, oral myths, most accurate Torah translations and some of the UFO literature (on which , funnily enough , he has written a whole book).
Yet, he is mostly a thorough thinker, after the truth , brave to go where the puzzle pieces seem to fit and generally more well read than 99.9999% of those who make arguments in this area. Wish I had his breadth of knowledge , memory, and rhetorics.
Unfortunately he has fallen for the AI bullshit and thinks LLMs can read his mind and the future. The line between genius and madman is thin....
His stuff on Iranian lore is great.
Interesting, I haven’t met anyone who watched him enough to critique him. The main thing I was disappointed with him on is his pro-Zionism stance, which is somewhat more nuanced than it may sound - it’s more of a support for chaos merchants who push us to react, but ultimately it’s still something I fall in the exact opposite side of the fence as him.
