I don't it's morally acceptable unless a person has a serious and irreversible terminal illness.

Very true. In order to communicate there must be some baseline interface for communication. We can teach lower primates how to use sign language, for example, primarily because they share a genetic structure similar to our own and have a cognitive capacity that enables them to understand the meaning of the language. We can't do much with a fish or an insect, however (except perhaps frighten them off).

What did you think about the purported physical evidence that they discussed? This section is at timestamp: 1:18:00. Dr. Jacques Valleé (PhD) and Dr. Garry Nolan (PhD) analyze the results of a multibeam ion imaging scan of several purported metallic fragments from a UFO. This device can analyze substances down to their atomic structure. Nolan stated that the results of the scan showed the isotopic composition of the elements in the metallic fragments did not match anything that exists on Earth. To paraphrase Dr. Nolan: "Whoever made this material created it at the atomic level, working with individual isotopes, and not just elements." My question: Is there any technology that anyone is aware of that can construct a synthetic material by manipulating individual isotopes? Dr. Nolan's credentials here: https://profiles.stanford.edu/garry-nolan Here is an article explaining the technology they were using: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-20753-5 (Images below)

I agree; it all comes down to an inability to de-escalate, which indicates lack of training. Everything is needlessly framed as a life or death situation. Yet another case in point: Second Lieutenant Caron Nazario, who was pulled over in Virginia recently. Immediate escalation by the officers for no good reason.

That encounter happened at the Ariel School, in Ruwa, Zimbabwe, September 1994. It's featured at the end of that documentary, The Phenomenon, I referenced, with interviews from all those involved (staff and former students). What would you think of humanity, were you an outside observer? On the one hand we're a vicious and primitive species that engages in never ending tribal warfare in the most cruel fashion; a bunch of petty apes exercising power over one another to satiate our egoistic shortcomings. On the other hand we're capable of great scientific, artistic, and technological triumphs - including the creation of nuclear weapons, which we've actually deployed countless times. That, in short, is a dangerous and unpredictable species, despite whatever positive qualities we may possess. Dangerous and unpredictable species require observation. Which, if they exist, could be why they let us "live and let kill". Another possibility though is they have an interest in Earth, not us. Earth is a real gem - replete with heavy metals of all kinds, home to an abundance of species (flora and fauna). We live on paradise, basically, and we're destroying it as fast as we're able to. Just the other day Japan announced it was dumping more than 1 million cubic metres of irradiated water from Fukishima into the Pacfic Ocean. An intelligent species that observed such actions from afar would have to conclude we're a deeply ignorant and destructive species with respect to our own environment.

It all depends on how one views the Drake equation. Originally Carl Sagan cast aspersions on the idea that any two intelligent civilizations could exist simultaneously. However, with SETI estimating the current number of habitable planets in our galaxy at 300 million, I think the odds of intelligent civilizations existing simultaneously are much higher than Sagan predicted. Regarding near speed of light travel or unknown physics, nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman demonstrated that practical interstellar travel can be accomplished using known physics, primarily a nuclear fusion reactor. Of course that wouldn't be "near speed of light" but it would get us from point A to point B. Yes, here it is: https://www.amazon.com/Phenomenon-John-Podesta/dp/B08HR9BVNM/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=the+phenomenon&qid=1618328526&sr=8-1

This is not an "opinionated insinuation - it's part of an ongoing debate spurred by two WHO insiders: Jamie Metzl and Dr. Peter Dajak. Both were recently interviewed on 60 minutes about the WHO investigation, and have differing theories about the cause of COVID. What leads me to be highly skeptical of Dr. Dajak's claims is that he and his team of experts had limited access during their investigation, and could only rely on the sceond hand information provided by the CCP, hence my comment about them feeding the WHO information. It's common knowledge that the CCP frame events to fit their self serving, politically expedient narrative. Again, this is all part of a public, spirited discussion that has been broadcast on mainstream media. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSaqOHypxTI

Biden and the Corporatists don't really want the 15 mw. Their actions are a charade.

Mr. Pais already has a peer reviewed paper outlining his theories on a Plasma Compression Fusion Device on IEEE.org. Anyone who wants to assess the veracity of his ideas can view it here: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/8871349 I didn't conclude that they were aliens - that's merely one of several possibilities (advanced tech being one of the others). I tend to think aliens are the more likely possibility, but I don't conclude that. The question remains open.

You conclusively stated that they aren't aliens. That's not a logical position. While remaining agnostic on the subject is logical, concluding that something doesn't exist out of hand isn't logical. The only thing we can logically say is "we don't know". Obviously. But in order to make that judgement, one must suspend belief and observe new evidence first, not preemptively dismiss it. Well yeah, of course it doesn't. However it is an interesting line of inquiry for those seriously pursuing this subject.

There was an interesting article in Forbes a while back about a physicist named Salvatore Cezar Pais who claims to have developed advanced aerospace technologies capable of unprecedented speeds and maneuverability, which could possibly explain the recent UFO sightings reported in the NY Times and other media outlets. Excerpt: (Forbes) Dr. Pais’ fusion device is among a handful of outlandish technologies dubbed “The UFO patents” that have, in some shape or form, been pursued by the U.S. Navy. He has been employed by the Pentagon for decades. And this isn’t the first patent filed in his name, and all of them appear centered around what he calls the Pais Effect. Dr. Pais posits that by controlling the accelerated spin or vibration of electrically charged matter, high energy electromagnetic fields can be produced. Source: https://www.forbes.com/sites/arielcohen/2021/02/08/what-is-behind-the-us-navys-ufo-fusion-energy-patent/?sh=49d9c5bd4733 Excerpt: (Vice News) One of Pais and the Navy’s patents described what the propulsion system and fusion drive would be used for—a “hybrid aerospace-underwater craft.” According to the patent, the craft could travel land, sea, and outer space at incredible speeds. Other patents invented by Pais and filed by the Navy include a “high temperature superconductor,” a “electromagnetic field generator,” and a “high frequency gravitational wave generator.” Source: https://www.vice.com/en/article/4adpv9/us-navy-has-patents-on-tech-it-says-will-engineer-the-fabric-of-reality More on Pais at IEEE: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/author/37087084137

A confident and conclusive statement...based on what? Quite a fascinating documentary was released back in 2020 called "The Phenomenon", directed by James Fox. Makes a very compelling case that Earth has and is being visited by some unknown intelligence. Personally I think it's extremely naive to conclude that in our universe another intelligent species would not develop the means of interstellar travel before us. An anthropocentric bias, so to speak. Modern day geo-centrism.

The WHO's investigation into the origins of COVID is a farce at this point. They're merely repeating verbatim the information that the CCP is feeding them. Highly unlikely that the true cause / origin of this virus will ever be put on record.

Sure, if you choose to completely ignore the fact that the outbreak started only a few miles from a level 4 virology lab that specializes in "gain of function" testing for bat coronaviruses. If you choose to completely ignore that fact then the "just another natural pandemic" argument sounds more plausible.

Following Occam's razor, the Wuhan lab leak hypothesis is the most logical explanation for the origin of Covid 19 at this point. More and more scientists are going on record in support of this hypothesis. There was a great piece in Politico back in March about it. The WHO will never be truly objective, due to political influence from China, and it seems somewhat of a taboo subject in the scientific community writ large (due in large part to the politicization of the hypothesis and other conflicts of interest). It's entirely logical that a respiratory pathogen with this level of infectiousness might accidentally find its way out into the surrounding area.

Let's examine this point. There are many gradations of how the entity could assert itself (covertly, overtly, benevolently, malevolently, and on and on). For the sake of simplicity let's assume it is benevolent and benign (just here to help). Even in that case I could see a lot of destabilization occurring: people quitting their jobs, people ceasing to believe in the political system or recognizing only the A.I. as the sovereign leader, economies grinding to a halt, etc. This attempt to either gain control of, or appease the Superintelligent entity (thus co-opting its power for partisan ends) would indeed be highly destabilizing.

This is essentially a thought experiment with philosophical underpinnings. The question is: What would the effects be on human social hierarchies if an ultra-intelligent, non human entity suddenly made itself known to the entire human race? The term ultra-intelligent in this context means some entity that possesses exponentially greater degrees of intelligence than human kind. Humans can take no meaningful action against it - it is omnipotent compared to us, in terms of the actions it can take to control us. A autonomous A.I construct, that has broken free of all constraints and that learns and builds at an exponential rate would be an example of an "ultra-intelligent entity". In this scenario the revelation that such an ultra-intelligent entity exists would be collective and immediate (everyone would find out about it all at once), as opposed to the knowledge of this entity being confined to the awareness of some small company or group of people. One day, humanity wakes up, and this ultra-intelligent entity is a suddenly part of our society. This scenario assumes that one of the main factors of social stability is the collective notion that human beings are the most intelligent species on our planet, thus exercising a capacity for independent action that cannot be challenged by any subordinate species. The idea that "humans are in control" is a primary stabilizing force of human social systems. This thought experiment seeks to explore how such an event could potentially destabilize human society by disrupting the mental model that there is nothing greater than us. Here are three main questions I'd like to discuss: 1. What would humanity's collective reaction be to such an ultra-intelligent entity? Mass panic? Quiet acceptance? Religious fervor? Combative aggression? 2. How would the appearance of such an entity affect the social order (for example: governments, religious organizations, economies). To what extent would the collective awareness that something has far greater power than human beings destabilize human social systems? What would be the reasons for this destabilization? 3. Is there any scenario or potential chain of events where human society would not be greatly destabilized by the emergence of something this powerful?

Excellent article about how serious the Republicans are about overturning the election by any means necessary. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/nov/12/trump-election-concede-republicans-democrats

I find myself wonderfully perplexed at how Biden can deliver a speech and not repeat the same word 5 to 6 times in a single sentence. Truly a skilled orator.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/nov/11/downright-dangerous-democrat-alarm-as-trump-stacks-pentagon-with-loyalists Somewhat reassuring... "Democrats immediately demanded explanations for the eleventh-hour personnel changes and warned that the US was entering dangerous “uncharted territory” with the reshuffling of key national security roles during a presidential transition. However defence experts argued there was little the new Trump appointees could do to use their positions to the president’s advantage, given the firm refusal of the uniformed armed services to get involved in domestic politics."

This is coup territory - replacing the heads of the FBI, Pentagon, CIA, and DOD policy with complete sycophants (more so than usual). Anthony Tata, Trump's latest appointment at the Pentagon, called Obama a "terrorist leader". These are hardliners to the extreme - they will follow Trump's orders, no questions asked. Everyone thinks Trump won't forcibly take over. What rational reason would there be that he won't? Considering his completely unhinged track record so far, it is entirely reasonable that he will try this. These people live in an alternate reality, after all. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/11/11/politics/donald-trump-joe-biden-transition/index.html

Agree with this. Arguably the only thing that saved the US this time was the Trump sheer incompetence.

One third remained neutral / inactive, so they are a non-factor. I'm all for that. The more people who vote, the better. The one's who want to undermine the process by refusing to accept the results are the problem.

True, but unfortunately 73 million people support him in the US, approximately a third of the country. Good example.

"Tell me. Tell me what it is." LOL. Such a funny episode.
