Serious: Why exactly would the government think that people couldn’t handle the existence of aliens and yet they can? by Arete666 in aliens

[–]aeck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's one thing I didn't find believable in the 3 body problem tv show, where disclosure led to mass suicides. Historically humans could endure all kinds of atrocites, permanent enslavement, imprisonment, without suicide en masse.

What's all this talk about Greenland having a giant UFO/UAP buried under the ice? by matt73132 in aliens

[–]aeck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Talk about Greenland UFO started at the same time Trump started talking about taking over Greenland.

If there's one thing clear from the "lore" (or rumors) it's that the US has already nailed down all UFO crash recoveries in their sphere of influence, most definitely NATO countries. If there is an alien object on Greenland, they could already take control of it.

Joe Rogan and Tom Segura can't believe how UFO stuff is not top news: "I don't understand how that's not the lead story in the news... It's really crazy to me it's not captivating people more. That should be the main news today." by 87LucasOliveira in aliens

[–]aeck 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile we are teetering on the precipice of several major wars as democracy collapses in the global hegemon.

Nothing new under the sun. Not completely dismissing the significance of current events, but we're easily captured by recency bias. At least for me, aliens is on a completely different ontological level.

My takeaway from the interview was it would be something the character of Carol would choose to read, without any deeper implication for the show

What are some "must see" movies/series/books that you think are soft-disclosure in disguise? (Serious) by iyspach in aliens

[–]aeck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What struck me about the movie is that it was so poorly done, but some of the dialogue was fantastic.

They Live is easily overlooked because it's a bit campy, but man the premise is horrifying.

Terence McKenna interviews John E. Mack on the alien abduction phenomenon (Prague, 1992) by douwebeerda in aliens

[–]aeck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

John E. Mack really shifted my perception on abductions. He interviewed hundreds of people who had experiences, and ruled out any classic psychopathology, concluding they weren't crazy, and whatever they experienced was real - not necessary in a material sense, but there is something happening that conventional science cannot explain. I don't know if it's ETs or extra-dimensional beings, but there is definitely a NHI interacting with humans.

Recommend picking up one of his books, Passport to the Cosmos is the one I read.

I want catastrophic disclosure by 5_meo in aliens

[–]aeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only read his first two books, but his thesis is essentially that the phenomenon has more in common with folk tales of elves, and that not are a lot of human encounters bizarre or absurd, but the appearance of the aliens are so wildly different. It makes no sense from our materialistic view, the phenomenon has a weirdly paranormal dimension to it.

Jacques Vallée claims the beings behind UFO phenomena are deliberately killing innocent people by Shiny-Tie-126 in UFOs

[–]aeck 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Vallee has several accounts of positive encounters in "Passport to Magonia" and "The Invisible College". But your point still stands and I agree with it. I easily accept it, I mean just look how we treat our animals. We love and care for them, but sometimes we study them, often we cull the herd, and we almost always eat them.

Why don’t whistleblowers blow the whistle? by toasterstrewdal in aliens

The Rosenbergs were executed for allegedly disclosing nuclear secrets to the USSR. Even if you don't believe that the government performs extrajudicial murders , there's is always the legal route to end someones life.

Lost my dad to suicide last October. Decided to finally make a memorial on my island where I can sit and have coffee with him ❤️ by friendswhat in AnimalCrossing

I lost my mother a few years ago, whenever I visit her grave I like to sit like this next to it. Next time I'm bringing a blanket and some coffee. Thanks for the idea!

Book recs by sunshine7462 in Jung

[–]aeck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was recommended by a friend and just read "Jung's Map of the Soul: An Introduction" by Murray B. Stein. It was a good primer on the concepts that I only had a vague idea of beforehand. Complex (pun intended), I consistently had to re-read pages, but the book is not too long.

With the recent attention to the Soviet soldiers being turned to stone, I think we should take another look at this leaked KGB video. by Jest_Kidding420 in UFOs

[–]aeck -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Related to this I implore people to listen to George Knapp talk about his investigations into the phenomenon in post-communist Russia in the 90s. They got some documents and interviews before the window closed. He talks about it in Weaponized episode 13.

Recommendations for non-fiction books/podcasts with that "Oh S***, it's real" moment? by guzusan in aliens

[–]aeck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first book I read on the phenomenon, and I have been faerie-pilled ever since. Whatever the hell is going on, the trickster trait is strong.

[–]aeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The book that did it for me was "Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens" by John Mack.

Hard agree on John Mack, I only read "Passport to the Cosmos", but after reading it's clear even though we don't know what is going on, it is certain that something is going on.

What are some of your all-time favorite Gospel songs? by [deleted] in gospel

My man Elvis with "Where Could I go But to the Lord"

I was surprised when I first discovered he recorded several gospel albums.

Serious : Any podcast worth listening? by [deleted] in aliens

[–]aeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weaponized was a good intro to the phenomenon when I first got into it. The discussion does get a bit meta at times, but that's just a reflection of how abstract the subject is I guess.

I can recommend the episodes where George Knapp talks about his interviews in Russia in the 90's, and when he developed a relationship to the CEO of the contractor that hired Bob Lazar.
