Hyperdiffusionism in its Context

@lukecaverns  @lukecaverns 1 day ago: Yeah the accusations of Graham's theories being racially driven is ridiculous.
Why not actually address what has ACTUALLY been written (it is written, so if you don't understand it the first time, you can re-read it until you do) instead of what you "think" was said? Then.... when you have familiarised yourself with the actual argument.... you can say WHY you think it is not true. Any hyperdiffusionist interpretation is predicated on the idea that one culture "had to be shown by somebody outside" how to do something. If Hancock's "theories" (which are nothing of the kind in fact) fit into that category, then they incorporate ideas of cultural superiority like all the rest. Prove he's not been employing hyperdiffusionism (present in his writing about a lost civilization FROM THE BEGINNING) before glibly saying his critics have somehow got it "ridiculously" wrong.
