Librarian here: Good news is that many libraries are standing up AI literacy programs to show people not only how to judge AI outputs but also how to get better results. If your local library isn’t doing this ask them why not.

From my conversations with mainland Chinese, they often tout the line that the US was somehow involved, so it was partly an excusable defense of the homeland against dangerously co-opted students. That said, most acknowledge that it was pretty bad. But these are also well-educated Chinese working abroad, so I assume the majority of Chinese don’t know much.

One story I heard retold by an English teacher working in Nanjing that I used to know was about the experience of one of the people involved in the protests…or at least they were an academic in Beijing at the time of the massacre. They were really depressed 20 years later and felt that nobody around them, particularly their students, knew anything.

except some of the pilots note the objects ‘move side to side’ and starlink will form a consistent linear pattern maintaining the same distance.

second part of interview drops tomorrow.

I’m starting to feel like some kind of disclosure is coming in the coming year. Grusch seems to hint as much. It may not have the wow factor of a presidential address, but maybe a more sudden kind of event that gets us there faster.

Unfortunately a sudden rush of info may be too much for people. A kind of cognitive dissonance worse than we saw with covid or 9/11. People may not respond rationally or in the healthiest way.

but bring it on anyway!

zero knowledge proofs, like those being deployed on blockchains recently, have the potential to be the killer app for this tech. Imagine you want a library card which requires proof of residence. With a zero-proof identity system, you could get your library card without revealing any personal info, like your name or address. Your wallets would simply prove to the library that you are a resident as credentialed by some local/state authority.

This also could have profound implications for the web like universal logins to web services, online privacy while still providing attribution, ownership and rights to digital content, copyright, etc.

I’ll play.

Either McMurdo or Palmer stations in Antarctica. Would fit lots of threads that have been planted out there (looking at you Fox Maulder and John Carpenter).

And would definitely cause an international incident given its international legal status.

Not the first time apparently: http://www.ufoevidence.org/cases/case5.htm

I skipped to the beginning of this Q&A session and was intrigued by Rosco’s assertion that 1) he’s been told what form these NHI come in, 2) that he can’t say what that, and 3) he will soon reveal this.

Makes me wonder if this will be part of the Senate hearings and so this will free him to say more.

The good news is that this story is buried online and most comments from subscribers are critical of WaPo’s decision to publish their article.

Those DOE contractors…interesting bedfellows there…particularly in Nevada.

i’m just over halfway through and should say this is an excellent interview. Nolan starts off slow but eventually gets into the state of his research findings, his personal UAP experiences and also discusses the biological circumstances that allow some people to perceive UAP more than others.

well the combo of a witness to the Gimbal incident who then learns about how many sightings the navy sees only to be visited in his bedroom by NHI…that’s got my attention!

yeah, that was an interesting moment. I think he was purposely being vague so only he really knows, but I’d wager it has to do with the weirder, reality-bending revelations that are floated out there:

1. the DNA sharing thing
2. we’re all a hologram
3. they’re dinosaur gods from an alternative timeline (joking)

essentially the thing or things that will make us say: “I wish it was just aliens!”

This was a pleasant departure from the negative news and counter attacks that have dominated this topic lately.

I’ve been a fan of Danny Sheehan since the 80s. He was one of the principal people that revealed the Iran Contra scandal among his other feats revealing hidden truths.

I do hope he and Basset are right that Disclosure is all but a given and also very imminent (according to the Schumer timeline that Sheehan cites).

2024 might just be the year!

These two are both involved in the Invisble College, and speak fairly often. I like this video because it shows us that there’s a consensus forming among those who know more than they can share.

We shall see but don’t underestimate people’s ability to bury their heads in the sand rather than face an unsettling reality.

Coulthart has previously reported that there is coordination between the Five Eyes intelligence agencies on UAP matters. Since he mentions the Vatican also has an intelligence group (and is engaged on the subject) then it suggests they too coordinate and possibly have long-standing agreements with its peers. Don’t forget, Grusch claims the Vatican turned over the US’s first captured UFO.

It seems with the contractor route, they pick you. And from my distant observations they only pick people that have zero interest and zero belief. Total squares that don’t ask a lot of questions.

There’s an easter egg in the slides pointing to Area 51. ha ha.

The 2023 RAND study on the tendency for UAP to be seen in remote areas is interesting. But then again, it could also be a case of seeing things more clearly since there is less ‘noise’ in the sky outside population centers.

Moreover this article strikes me as just applying humanity’s latest tech to the UAP problem.

Personally, I’m tending toward Vallee’s hypothesis that the stealthiness has more to do with extra dimensionality of the phenomenon. That is, the way UAP blink in and out of sight and the often reported combining of multiple objects into one, or vis versa, is better explained if UAP are multidimensional in nature. They might still be extraterrestrial probes, but they could be something far weirder.
