We are curious, superstitious creatures, even now. You still remember Kevin because of the force of the point made. The extreme "I".
You can dismiss claims with your modern mind and education but the people of the neolithic, I would imagine, were more vulnerable to the extreme "I".
I would imagine people could rise in notoriety by simply insisting they were correct. Acting, in every way, as if they knew things that the majority didn't. Curiosity, superstition, fear.


It wasn’t curiosity at all – it was an attempt to stop them repeating themselves ad nauseam and wrecking thread after TMA thread. If anything they’re remembered for that, not for the ‘force’ of the points they were making.

Yes, individuals and belief systems have and do rise to notoriety (and infamy) by insisting they were/are correct. Fortunately, the historical long-game sees them fall just as quickly.


But Kevin, esp on the portal, wasn't talking to himself was he?
If you apply that type of single minded approach to a superstitious prehistoric society, I think it may produce results.
