The appendices are a further expansion of the theory - consisting of a mish-mash of expansions of the online book pages, plus collated PDF files from the original "everything thrown into the pot" version.
What has gone wrong? - a truly depressing list of (just a few of the) mistakes made over the course of the past few thousand years. I blame a little of it on philosophers such as Aristotle and Descartes. But most of it on the Romans - and the handful of Viking families/gangsters who copied the Romans, conquered all of Europe, ran the Crusades and used the Church of Rome as a flagship for their power-politics. The rest is history.
This was a long project, eventually running to around 1000 pages, in which I thrashed out the ideas behind the online book. Some sections are defunct/superceded, and much of the emphasis would probably change if I started it all again. And most of the writing (along with collected references) stops around 2021 - and there has been a whole raft of further useful research published since then - that would add significantly to the content. However, it has to stop sometime, and there are some interesting ideas in here, and a lot of background references - so it's worth preserving in all its incompleteness and inconsistency. The aim of the main online book (NOT this appendix) is to provide something that tends more towards practical application and away from most hard theory. Here you will find a lot of reading and ideas but almost zero practical application.
NOTE : all these files open in a new tab/window.
