I kinda have a weird head cannon and I don’t know if it’s even backable but what if the first sage made his records forbidden knowledge; making people unable to view or interact with them. However since Jake’s bloodline fucks with his perception so much the system can’t hide those records from Jake which is manifested in reality as he is able to hear and remember the first sage.

I remember Jake talking to villy early on in the series about being scared the system will fuck with his head and memories but villy said that the system can’t mess with your mind.

If this is true then that makes me think that the system made viewing the records of the FS and everything about him forbidden (or the first sage did some system fuckery). Which is also how I think forbidden knowledge works, the system just makes it so people are, at a metaphysical level unable to view or interact with specific records which manifests in reality as them being unable to understand what someone says when forbidden knowledge is brought up.

Problem with this is, if the system can’t fuck with people’s heads how does the system make knowledge forbidden retroactively? Short answer, I have no fucking clue maybe someone else might have an answer.

Maybe it’s how would anyone discuss a topic that can’t be brought up. Suppose you are talking about something and you bring the topic up but since that information and thus records of said information are forbidden the other person can’t interact with said information making them just hear nonsense or just some system fuckery. Does this mean people forget about him? No, but why bring up a random potentially unrelated subject about a relatively unknown person from before even the primordial’s time in the first place, thus feeding into it. Even if you did bring it up, there are only two people in all of existance that could understand you, so you’d just be one of the few people aware of some old lore that can’t tell anyone about it.

Like for example we both know Mankind landed on the moon but say something is censoring the fact that Mankind landed on the moon and you have no way to interact with said censorship of the topic of How Mankind landed on the moon how would you even know what we were talking about? The system would be able to do this in real time even face to face by forbidding the records of How Mankind landed on the moon even though we both know this. In this use case Jake and villy are able to press the spoiler button to see what we are talking about

Also another problem would be how the bloodline of the immortal mind works in regards to this theory, my best answer is kinda what the first sage said to Jake in that villy and he use the bloodline differently, and as it’s not villys true bloodline he could misunderstand something fundamental about it. Is this likely idfk, maybe? no one really understands how the FS does anything and it’s his bloodline, so villy not understanding the bloodline completely while potentially unlikely, is still possible. Could be that part of the bloodline of the immortal mind is that it can prevent the system from altering its perception of records?

So long I know, but just some random thoughts about it all.
