they've used the comparative method on indo European mythology to reconstruct what the PIEs likely believed or whatever but has anyone done a comparative mythology substrate analysis to infer what elements of mythology were likely of the non indo European origin?

Every time I read a paper from a junior academic/Ph.D. candidate I question if i'm cut out for academia and that maybe doing a Ph.D. isn't what i'm cut out for.

I think it's a mistake to talk about the ruling class as if they are outside of ideology and know what they're doing.

how do I get one of those academic careers where I just write the same monograph every 5 years until I retire or die?

to LLMs there's no difference between an innovation and a mistake. for some linguistic feature to be innovative it has to be useful to some communicative end and LLMs, lacking intentions, do not desire or have ends ergo nothing can be novely useful to them.
