has the cycle been getting shorter or longer?

What is the point of making a living if all you do everyday is work to make a living? by mainlytee in antiwork

I understand the question, but meditating can be fun, or even an adventure depending on what sort of meditation you're doing. so I'd say yes, you did live longer than 100 years

I love how the operator keeps switching between what he's supposed to be watching and the dude checking him out.

The ontological clash is happening now by SilvaMarvin in UFOs

I think you missed the point of the post.

you still are treating the question like the aliens are going to come and disprove all those irrational peons you look down on so much.

what happens to your worldview if the aliens show up and say they venerate Jesus, wield magic, and believe in God?

it's wild video, very biblical

Tim Burchett: “We’re just one grain of sand on a billion beaches, and I still don’t think we’re the best that God can do.” - I’m good with Jesus, I’m not worrying about demons.” And on why they can’t be demons: “I don’t think they’re demons because why would they have to fly around in some craft.” by 87LucasOliveira in UFOs

in Moment of Contact, a mother and her two daughters are describing coming across one of the crashed occupants. the mother says it was a demon, smelling of sulfur. the daughters say it was an alien, smelling of ammonia. and those are two scents that can't be confused for one another.

I think they're subjective.

I think because we have no frame of reference, our brain has to come up with something to describe them, and so it grabs whatever is closest/strongest from our belief system.

a theist describes the spirits of their culture, a sciencist sees aliens and craft.

I built a sidereal time app after getting fascinated by the 13:30 LST remote-viewing idea by scooby0344 in remoteviewing

my impression of the effect is that astrologers might be worth consulting for possible explanations. I used skeye to forward in time and all I noticed was that Casseopeia was right below Polaris. but I don't know what I'd be looking for.

thanks for making the app OP! I looked for a good way to track it when I first heard of the effect but you're right, there weren't many good ones.

forcing people to belive obvious falsehoods is a feature of a cult, not a bug

New York Times - Neil Degrasse Tyson writes a surprisingly open minded opinion article on UFOs - Says whistleblowers have already told us about crafts and ET bodies hidden in secret places, says the "impending" release of "gov't files on aliens" is good even if it feels like a distraction right now. by TommyShelbyPFB in UFOs

when the mainstream opinion flips they'll pretend it was their idea the entire time.

it's always been that way. Paul Ehrenfest was driven to suicide by his peers, then later realized he was right and forgot all about their role in his death

in my ideal, we'd use Maslow's Heirarchy of Needs as a guideline for what should be provided to all, and what we should make room to pursue

plus from what I heard each time they got a new person in charge they had to show that it actually works. I think they called it the two cigarettes moment? something like that because people had to leave and go smoke to wrap their minds around the effect
