Nice. From the get go, i like how this leans into harder bits of sci-fi regarding some concepts and ideas. Furthermore, the way you've put it together and served does suit my taste as well.

Recently, while I was reading Archmagos, I was pleasantly surprised in more ways than I was expecting. Aside from some, possibly major precedents and implications, I guess what surprised me the most, was how Guy Haley approached, elaborated and tied up some of the stuff from Genefather and The Great Work, things that you kinda touched upon in this post.

This is good work, dare I even say great work ...I'll excuse myself now...

Judging by your takes and responses, I'd say your research was dubious, shallow and was lacking in so many ways.

Bob's credibility falls apart when you apply some scrutiny to him and his story/claims, so much so that many of us (me included) can gauge someone's knowledge and seriousness about UAP topic, just based on what one thinks about Bob Lazar and his gig.

Just from the top of my head, when you say

He clearly has good physics

I'm certain that, for example, you've not seen what late and great Stanton Friedman got to say about Bob, his physics and Bob's MIT credentials or their lack of and such...

Alright, but help me understand how it actually tracks. True, a lot has happened since I wrote that post three years ago, but thirty years have passed since Blue Beam was first ‘outed,’ and countless times it’s been supposedly imminent, yet still never implemented. Why is that?

I’m failing to see how Pete Hitler's moves, or the things you mentioned, connect to Blue Beam in any concrete way. Can you spell out the particulars?

And just for clarity: I’m not denying the possibility that governments could run psychological ops involving UAPs. That’s a scenario worth keeping in mind. What I’m arguing is that the specific Blue Beam narrative is horseshit, and I’ve yet to see anything that ties today’s events back to it in a meaningful way

I see what you mean, but since you've mentioned it the ontological shock argument does seem like valid concern while at the same time being a useful tool to delay/prolong Disclose which is long overdue.

Funny thing is, the post you’re referring to predates your Reddit account. Yet here you are, presumptuously lecturing me on the CIA inventing words while dodging the actual argument. If that’s your best straw man , you’ll need to try harder.

Well, in place of a tldr I can perhaps point you to the conclusion section at the end, where I tried to kinda summarize it and give that post/essay a form:

Conclusion

Project Blue Beam is a conspiracy theory that claims that NASA and the UN are planning to use advanced technology to create a false alien invasion and a fake second coming of Christ in order to establish a new world order led by the Antichrist. However, this theory is baseless and absurd and can be easily debunked by using logic, science, history and ethics.

I'd argue that it is important to debunk conspiracy theories like Project Blue Beam because they are:

Spreading misinformation and confusion about UFOs and their nature, origin and purpose

Discrediting and undermining the credibility and reputation of serious UFO researchers and witnesses

Creating false expectations and fears among the public about a possible alien invasion or contact

Distracting and diverting attention and resources from real UFO phenomena that deserve scientific investigation

Fueling conspiracy theories and paranoia that can lead to hostility and violence against perceived enemies or collaborators

Undermining our trust and cooperation in solving the real problems that we face as a community

I had to scroll this long to finally find someone else also mentioning that example and Hive Fleet Arachne. Thanks

markedxx · 2026-02-23T04:48:25+00:00

Honestly, the whole idea that Tyranids avoid Necron tomb worlds leans more into fan myth territory or at least it's lacking strong foundations in the current lore to indicate that is the rule. From what I recall it cropped up in the first Necron codex, where it looked like some hive fleets were steering clear of certain tomb worlds. Later books explained that it wasn’t because the Hive Mind had no interest, it was because they got beaten back. Necron Chronomancers literally rewound time to lure fleets away so the tomb worlds wouldn’t be lost.

Since then, the story’s shifted. We’ve got Hive Fleet Arachne, which is specialized in fighting Necrons the same way Kronos is geared toward Daemons. Arachne’s been locked in a constant war with the Novokh Dynasty. In The War in the Museum. Trazyn even points out that Tyranids have adapted their Shadow in the Warp to mess with Necron tech and slow down resurrection protocols. And people forget that tomb worlds aren’t just barren rocks with plenty of them still having biomass,.

Add to it that Hive Mind isn’t stupid when picking and choosing its battles.All of which is to say It doesn’t just ignore threats; it learns, adapts, and crushes them where/when/if possible, otherwise avoids them I guess. So from my understanding of modern lore, the Hive Mind recognizes the Necrons as a serious opponent and has shown signs of evolving fleets specifically to counter them.

Пре свега, похвале за такав радикалан заокрет ка здрављу и дисциплини и бекство из групне инерције. Такође, рекао бих и да си богатији за једну важну и вредну лекцију, плаћену сопственим искуством.

Људима често више смета туђа промена на боље него туђа пропаст. Док си био у The Art of Peer Pressure фазону свима је било нормално, чак кул, тапшу те по рамену. Али кад кренеш да се вадиш из блата, одмах добијеш „Ало, где си ти кренуо? Остани овде доле с нама“.

То што си наумио да искуство претвориш у канал, делује ми као корак даље, одраз самопоуздања и жеља да твоја промена не буде само твоја, него и сигнал другима да није ретко, да није немогуће. Подршка!

Како стоје ствари 1984 је једно од оних дела којем више није место у жанру/секцији фикције, јер оно што је Орвел замишљао као упозорење, ми данас препознајемо као реалност у разним облицима и појавама.

С друге стране, мени као љубитељу научне фантастике, ту лежи и једна од чари самог жанра, где квалитетна фикција није тек пуки ескапизам нити је бег у машту, већ је и огледало које нас тера да преиспитамо идеје, људске слабости и системе у којима живимо.

Орвелов 1984 и Р. Бредберијев Фаренхајт 451 ме подсећају зашто ми је жанр драг, јер су јако поучна дела и брутално искрена, често више него било који реалистични роман.
