Y'all know I'm not a conspiracy theorist; the Earth is an oblate spheroid; vaccinate save lives; and chemtrails are simply contrails...

But do you think man is really capable of the technological advances of the 60 years? Look at our leaders. look at the country's literacy rates -- we can't even stop murdering each other for 2 seconds! It is hard to believe a people so easily addicted to social media can also produce AI and Quantum computers. I don't believe it -- it must be aliens behind the scenes. 👽

I heard we shot an alien spacecraft with hellfire a missile and it just bounced off, still they did not destroy us. Maybe they are an advance human race trying to stop us from destroying the planet we share. 🤔

Absolutely. Only a small percentage of the population has ever been smart enough to do great things.

Creativity & innovation aren't tied to literacy rates. Same goes for basic human behavior.

Last week, a few astronauts returned from a trip around the moon supposedly.😉

NASA still uses a lot of the same engineering of 50 years ago to build the spacecraft. Heat shields prime example.

Computer & AI is derivative technology built up over the past 50 years & counting.😎

Of course that is true indeed modern computers are back by more than a century of advancement. But still the technological progress since I started this website has been astounding. The tech back then was from the stone age relatively speaking and so much more expensive.

The barriers to entry to creating something on the web back when I started were relatively high. Today the only barrier, besides the tech giants, is one's imagination. Perhaps that has always been the case.
