    I kinda think people from the far past could understand modern concepts if explained in terms they are familiar with and that it is an advanced form of technology made by a human. They’re not unfamiliar with tools or technology. Explaining electricity might still be seen as magic… Shit I know how it works and it still seems pretty magical to me 🤷🏻‍♂️

      Exactly, for the topic of cybersecurity you could take the metaphor of a fort that is under constant attack and has to be defended for example and you could explain it reasonably well to people who lived thousands of years ago.

        Combine the fort metaphor with some shamanistic spirit mantra about protecting your hidden secrets of your mind and done.

      Imagine explaining that the power grid is connected to a network that is accessible by Russia.
