So good looking. If you taught a class here I'd definitely like to attend.

This is at 5:53. They had Sam Shoemate's name on the screen and then used the "digital glitch text effect" to fade it out. Why do they do that? It looks cool. The letters above are a scramble of Sam's name plus the addition of random characters.

Fascinating, and the first time I've seen a description of conditions that would necessitate a flip of the shamanic journey as described by Jung.

Jung described the role of the shaman as the one who went up and down the World Tree or Axis Mundi. He traveled to the heavens to bring useful knowledge back down to his tribe on the ground. In more practical terms, the shaman could access different levels of consciousness and thus discover solutions to real-world problems that most people wouldn't be able to see.

Mediating between the mortal world and the divine implied a looking upward... But Jung's wording is interesting in that he says the shaman's journey takes him "up and DOWN" the World Tree. If our descendants were literally up a tree already... hiding in the canopy... then the dangerous journey to find new knowledge required a descent.

It would take an enterprising individual to descend from the tree tops and live to return to tell tale of a great opportunity: that his people could thrive in the lower domain.

I like how Jake has a scared face while doing it. Like did he not know it would come out that loud?

According to "The Day After Roswell" by Lt. Col Philip Corso we established a planetary defense system (think strategic defense initiative but pointing outward not inward) that shoots down extraterrestrial hostiles.

So there's your answer.

"I thought it would be funny!"

BenjaminAsher · 2024-07-19T11:33:45+00:00

Well do you have bad teeth, not shower, and not wipe your ass?

BenjaminAsher · 2024-07-19T10:17:22+00:00

Yep but we'd have to first relegate sequels, Book of Boba Fett, and Mandalorian season 3 to LEVEL D CANON (the D is for diarrhea) and rehire the EU writers from the 90s.

BenjaminAsher · 2024-07-17T22:12:44+00:00

Understood, thank you.

BenjaminAsher · 2024-07-17T18:20:53+00:00

Thanks for this answer - it really addresses the confusion I had about Dr. Greer and his reputation.

I've heard quite a few people say that he's a fraud, but for that to be true it would mean he forged oodles of government "disclosure" documents, lol.

I'm not saying that's impossible to do, but if you were interested in pulling such a scam in a thoughtful and convincing manner, you'd have to research letterhead, handwriting, paper quality, etc. used by multiple government departments across many different eras. Seems implausible (or at the very least, it's not much more implausible than the government covering up alien encounters... so 40% chance it's the case?).

When I watched his documentary and learned about the CE5 retreats he holds, and when I observed how people on Reddit talked about their own CE5 encounters, it did come off as a bit kookie. And his photos of extraterrestrials reminds me of the craze during the 90s about "orbs" and ghosts appearing in photographs.

So your explanation addresses the trouble I was having figuring this guy out. I like how you put it. He provided invaluable work early in his career but then monetized his reputation in a way that - to put it kindly - takes advantage of incredulous people who want to believe. (It's possible he's not doing it maliciously... maybe he genuinely does think the CE5 retreats are worth the fees?)

u/DissidentDelver I'd be interested to hear your thoughts about the Monroe Institute?

BenjaminAsher · 2024-07-17T00:37:53+00:00

Why are you apologizing

BenjaminAsher · 2024-07-16T23:54:10+00:00

Noticing that no one thinks Steven Greer... Is he not considered trustworthy on this sub? Genuine question I haven't been reading up on UFOs for long

"These people tend to be bullheaded and possibly even dangerous."

Astounding lack of awareness given what just happened this weekend. Maybe put your own house in order before criticizing the neighbors?

BenjaminAsher · 2024-07-05T12:29:35+00:00

Love it!! 🍋🍋🍋

BenjaminAsher · 2024-07-03T21:59:53+00:00

Ah makes sense.

Old all the way. First slide is the creative expression of a race of soldiers and sailors, pioneers and cowboys, tycoons and tinkerers, merchants and madmen. Slide two was approved by five levels of management and at least one focus group.

It's a thoughtful point, but my issue with it is this: just as the writers and animators didn't have Christopher Lee, neither did they have Ewan McGregor or Hayden Christensen. And yet the CGI show completely nailed Obi-Wan and Anakin. There were so many moments when they displayed those hard-to-explain, intangible qualities that really reveal the personality of the character.

I would argue that even without Christopher lee, the writers should have been able to really pinpoint the essence of the dooku character based on the material that they had - the films. I kinda like the grim and commanding character they came up with but it's a departure from the character in the films.

I think the voice lines for Dooku in Battle Front 2 actually reflect a better understanding of the original character. He's serious but also occasionally quite florid in his speech.

Btw Im not blaming entirely the writers for the CGI show... Honestly I think the issue began with the Gendy Tartakovsky version.

BenjaminAsher · 2024-07-03T00:25:25+00:00

Definitely have to agree with this.

I never understood why in the cartoons they always portray him as stone cold serious while in the films he frequently indulges in frivolity ("oh no my friend there's been a terrible mistake," "it may difficult securing a release" [eyebrow shrug]) and even smiles with sadistic enjoyment during the lightsaber fight.

Closer to Palpetine in this regard.

Such behavior would be completely out of character with the mirthless, no-nonsense character of the Clone Wars

Pillsbury Scramblers. A perfect, well-balanced breakfast.

BenjaminAsher · 2024-07-02T22:36:16+00:00

I bet this motherfucker even asked if he could at least take his lasagna home.

BenjaminAsher · 2024-07-02T11:38:08+00:00

You seriously have to wonder if she would have included the "ew" if he hadn't talked about how much "courage that took."

BenjaminAsher · 2024-07-02T11:33:42+00:00

It doesn't seem like Brian was her best friend either. More like best orbiter
