5: Comments of the week: Steven claims an alternate mode of entering jhana different from anything I’d ever heard before; I’m tempted to disbelieve, but two readers say it works. The Genealogian gives genealogy advice. And LoreSnacks says we can’t blame the Santa Clara water district guy for OKCupid - sorry, Santa Clara Water District guy (though he still seems potentially bad in other ways).
15: Ancient Germanic kingdoms used to devise mythical genealogies linking their royal families to Odin. And lots of ethnically-Northern-European people are descended from ancient Germanic kings. Combine these facts, and you can chart the 55-generation line of descent from Odin to Joe Biden. I think this has actually made me 0.0001% prouder to be an American. The bottom of the chart is Joe Biden’s real relatives, and the top is the real mythological line of Anglo-Saxon kings, but is the middle accurate? I notice it traces Biden’s ancestry much further than most credible articles on the subject, which go up to the Taylors at best. But it seems to be drawing off of this genealogy database. If there’s a fake step in there somewhere, I can’t tell where it is [UPDATE: in the comments, The Genealogian identifies the fake steps]
