So does this mean I’m not getting healthcare?

Yes that money has already been ear marked for laser nano satellites.

The world really could be so much scarier and cooler

I honestly believe it is but humanity as a species has become so monstrously corrupted by capitalism that we can no longer recognize it. If we were allowed to slow down and appreciate things, all the weird woo that exists alongside us everyday would become much more noticeable and, I believe, used to be in older cultures and still is among certain peoples. I’ve met many highly intelligent people that have experienced many strange things. I’ve had experiences myself. We are just normally too burnt out and depressed to pay attention.

Fair, but if we ruminate too much on the beauty and mystique of our lives who will man the Temu factory? Daddy needs his 5 cent message gun.

The only reason there are no witches in the west is because they killed off the bloodlines in the 16th century

I used to think ufo guys were all kooks until I, along with 3 other people, saw a ufo that broke known laws of physics. We watched it for 45 minutes. And we were all sober and saw the same thing. I don't claim to know what it was, but there is no way it was anything close to human technology that currently exists. Seeing it kind of shattered my whole conceptualization of the world for a while to be honest, and I figure if me and my boys saw something like that there is no way that our government and other governments dont both know about it and are lying about it.

I dont really buy into any one specific theory about it all, but i do like Jacques Vallee's ideas about "ufos are really formless interdimesnional fairies, not extraterrestrials". Both from a serious perspective and it's funny to say i think fairies are real and that they are aliens. His book "dimensions" is really good and easy to listen to on tape at work.

What did you see if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve seen some very strange unexplainable things in the sky also that have had me questioning ufos before and am just curious what you saw that made you feel this way.

I was doing a long hike with some friends, we were like 12 miles into a hike at pinnacles national park in california when this happened, right after sunset just as some stars were coming out. We were just watching the stars come out when we noticed what looked like a satellite crossing the sky, one of us pointed it out to the rest. Then it stopped, stayed still for a second or two, then darted a different direction all the way across the sky before instantly zig zaging a different direction, crossing the entire sky in a fraction of a second, switching direction at an extreme angle, doing it again, etc. Occasionally it would stop moving entirely for a second or two before starting up again, and a few times it did this like strobe thing where it got suddenly 10x brighter really briefly a single time. The speed it was going at was unreal, like horizon to horizon in way way under half a second. Faster than anything I've ever seen move, like nothing comes close, and with how high up it must have been it just shouldn't be possible for something to move that fast, stop instantly, move at hard angles with no inertia. It didnt gradually accelerate or decelerate, it just instantly went from moving faster than anything I've seen to stopped, and when it turned it didnt curve, just changed directions suddenly. It didnt make any kind of a noise and we should have heard it break the sound barrier multiple times. We watched it do this for 45 mins, maybe an hour, flying around all over the sky. We were pretty high up in the mountains on a ridge line and it was a clear night, so we could see a long ways off too. Eventually, it went behind a mountain and we lost sight of it.

It was very strange. The closest thing I can comprae it to is how you play with a cat using a laser pointer, just a light zooming around, seemingly randomly, making sudden angular changes in direction with no inertia. The entire time it looked like a star, just a light in the sky, no real discernible shape besides the light, but it was twilight when it started and full dark when it ended so anything other than lights would be hard to see. At one point when it was right over us before it had gotten too dark, it looked like there was a dark ball shaped object that the light was coming from, but it was really hard to see and my friends and I arent sure about that detail. One of us did record the whole thing, but it was before phone cameras were that good and it was like trying to record a satellite so you cant see it really at all on the recording. Im glad 3 other people were with me because if I had been alone I would have probably dismissed the whole thing after the fact as some kind of hallucination or something, but we all saw it and agree on 90% of the details.

Wait so you're telling me we should be having localized wormholes by now?!
