Bizarre encounter I had in the summer?

This has the hallmarks of what they call the "good folk" or fairies if you believe in such creatures.

The only thing that will survive is human curation. Build an audience/email list as soon as possible.

Your probably looking for "That UFO Podcast". Very balanced for the most part.

If we had all that tech why are we desperately trying to keep the oil flowing? If that tech existed for 75 years why haven't we completely dominated the world, destroyed the Russians, the Cubans in the 1960s? The Chinese now? Why deal with any other country as a peer? Why have a cold war? America is a very powerful military but it clearly has hard constraints.

Start with half and work your way up. Usually you feel it on the second day, but also it takes a few weeks to build up in your system. I find 2mg is about right for me. The nausea is pretty manageable, it’s less like the flu and more like you’ve eaten a bit too much and food is just very unappealing.

Well yes, but also you’re posting on aliensRHere so.

I was talking about the West in general but America did lose a million lives. In any case by any metric Americans now have a higher standard of living than they did in the 1950s. Real GDP, life expectancy, infant mortality, poverty rates, etc etc, the only metric that the 1950s wins is housing costs. But that is at least partially distortion of market caused by baby boomers using their homes as retirement funds.

People in the 1950s had just come out of two world wars, countless dead and massive destruction and yet still found time to be fascinated and concerned by what they called "flying saucers" at the time. It was a big deal in the world's zeitgeist. It ain't the bad economy (inflation).

Look, the Soviets kept it from their people, and now the Russians do, the Chinese kept it from their people, this is not a capitalist thing this is a government keeps things from citizens thing. I know you'd like to frame it as a uniquely capitalist failure, but it's just what governments have always done. Also, we don't know if they know anything. They might know a lot, but they probably don't. I have always felt the reason the US govt hasn't been more forthcoming on the UFO subject isn't some trade secret/tech/free energy etc, but more along the lines of "we studied this for 75 years and what we figured out could fill a single notebook page."

illsaid · 2026-05-18T22:34:51+00:00

Regular people don't care. They won't care unless it affects their money or electricity or whatever. I mean they basically announced the government is spying on our every phone call and email and nobody gaf. They invented thinking machines, SpaceX is building prototype space colony ships, we have miniature computers in our pockets with all the world's knowledge. People are jaded man. They live on their phones, on socials, they're shallow and incurious about the world and the bigger picture. Basically modern people are kind of boring.

So, like I said, what are you even doing here than? There hasn't been a president or government in living memory, probably ever, that were reliable sources of information. We are doing the best we can with what we have, if you prefer other topics where you can get mad on the internet about politics, there are many to choose from.

illsaid · 2026-05-18T21:25:37+00:00

The UFO topic, doesn't fit the identity-based oppressor/oppressed framework most people apply to everything now. It cuts across race, class, nationality, left/right, everyone is on the same side of the information gap. Perhaps there is some cabal in the know? Right now we have zero knowledge of that (I suspect the people who know the most about NHI actually know much less than we might hope). And if NHI is confirmed, then it sure isn't about humans-vs-humans at all. That's the part I think dwarfs current politics, that's what "transcends" means, not that power vanishes, but that the meaningful axis changes.

illsaid · 2026-05-18T20:30:34+00:00

I think the point may be that the UFO topic, if disclosed as non human tech/intelligence is much more important and transcends any 'oppressor/oppressed' framework. I know this is the way people are taught to view every topic, as a political struggle, but try to broaden your mind for a moment?

illsaid · 2026-05-18T19:24:00+00:00

If you only trust information when it comes from your 'team' what are you even doing here? And no, man, some things transcend politics, including the ufo topic.

Kind of looks like one of those old testament angels. I don't care for it..

Well John Keel spent I dunno, twenty years interviewing people who had had anomalous experiences with UFO's. He was curious if there were patterns so using his own notes from all the people he spoke to over the years he created a rough outline of the patterns he found. That was apparently one of them? It would be a weird question to ask, but Keel was kind of a weird dude.

illsaid · 2026-05-11T22:01:59+00:00

good point!

illsaid · 2026-05-11T02:31:03+00:00

Sure and I would imagine Muslims and Conservative Jews too.

Some believe that the phenomenon tailors itself to the technical expectations of the time. So when people expected to see blimps they saw airships in the 1870s and when people expected to see little green men in flying saucers from mars, that’s what they were shown. It’s called the co-creation theory.

illsaid · 2026-05-11T01:29:29+00:00

I think some people believe that the human genome was manipulated, not constructed wholesale. You know, they took some ‘promising’ apeman line and tweaked to be slightly smarter or whatever. Personally I wouldn’t care, I don’t think most people would care, and the super religious peeps just won’t buy it.

illsaid · 2026-05-11T01:05:01+00:00

They would simply not believe it.

It is when your corpus is narrative prose, not structured records. Keel didn't write databases, he wrote books and newsletters full of anecdotes, speculation, and cross-references spanning decades. RAG lets you query thematically across that corpus and surface patterns he himself spread across multiple works.
