This is clearly the follow up to the dril tweet - you do not, in fact, have to hand it to them for figuring out how to monetize the enemy combatant guidelines
I am not the person you are asking, but (to me personally) it just says that Saudi Arabia had made massive strides to become a modern 21st century society, as opposed to some of their regional neighbors who still practice FGM on a notable scale.
The fact that SA recently (past ~15 years) passed quite a few reforms that significantly lax old theocracy rules (e.g., women are now legally allowed to drive, they are no longer obligated to wear hijab outside, no male chaperone requirements, western-tier public music festivals and concerts can now be hosted, etc.) only solidified that opinion.

That assumes that Saudis did use to do FGM.. and that's not true either.

The influence of the Kabbalah and the occult sciences on Silicon Valley and the world at large is quite obvious if one is looking and doesn't brush these subjects off as woohoo / conspiratorial (which most people do).
Yes, the kabba is also a nod to Saturn (which is why I said all Abrahamic religions incorporate some Saturn worship into them), and the people walking around the kabba make the rings of Saturn (if you employ some time-lapse photography of them walking around, it's quite obvious). Saturn has a hexagonal shaped storm on its north pole (and the all-seeing eye on its south pole). If you collapse a cube into two dimensions, you get a hexagon.
Not observed and yet depicted in symbolism by different cultures dating back to Babylon. Quite the mystery indeed... I'm sure you have an explanation for how the Dogon tribe knew more about the Sirius star system than we did until relatively recently as well.
It's quite egotistical and foolish to assume we're more advanced and know more than our ancient ancestors, or that what is written in our history books is objective truth.
> I'm sure you have an explanation for how the Dogon tribe knew more about the Sirius star system than we did until relatively recently as well.
I have a hypothesis, which incorporates the fact that the Dogon were not reported to have such knowledge until the 1930s, well after the discovery of Sirius B.

A bit of searching is coming up short, beyond a claim about shackles on the ankles of a Roman statue of Saturn (the god) symbolizing the rings; I find this less convincing than the idea that they symbolize shackles (the ones with which he was bound in Tartaros).

That's not a fact, because there are several sources / individuals that dispute this claim.

Well you're pretty terrible at searching the internet then, considering I can type Sumerian saturn symbolism into any image search engine and find a plethora of examples.
I'm not mad, just disappointed. You originally wrote:
> depicted in symbolism by different cultures dating back to Babylon
and I'd (naively) expected you to have known the differences between Babylon and the Sumerians.
But based on your suggestion I did search for "Sumerian saturn symbolism" (sans quotes) and there's more but still a whole lot of nothing. I see a lot of four- and eight-pointed stars, sometimes in circles, and some images of stone seals that clearly have planets with rings but are even more clearly AI generated.
Causal graphs are interesting, but in my experience, the bottleneck isn't the representation; it's getting the model to actually follow through on weak signals instead of moving on to the next topic. A graph won't help if the system doesn't know what to do when it hits a node that doesn't resolve cleanly.
What's your experience been with them?
