Is it just me or do you think aliens had anything to do with it?

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 backed 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.

Speaking of conspiracy theories and computer technology and Aliens, the longer I live, the more convinced I am that there's more to "Life" than meets the eye, that what I once thought were delusions or hallucinations or dreams, are different forms of reality, vibrating at a different frequency; I definitely believe in a multi-verse and that I shift between parallel worlds.

I also see images out of the corner of my left eye and sense that I have a spirit "guide" who looks out for me. Whether these are extra-terrestial or divine phenomena, they are super-natural and outre.

I have also had some weird things happen in regard to computers deleting things on their own; especially when I went on a tirade about something better left unsaid; these rants would suddenly disappear from the screen as if I was being monitored. And then there was the "duplicated phrase" quirk as if, while typing, I shifted from one universe to another in the middle of a sentence causing an overlap which resulted in a phrase appearing twice in a sentence... Like just now, when the words "twice in" for some reason became underlined in yellow??? 🤫

Also, I always thought a lot more attention and investigstion should be given to the possibilities raised about other beings living inside the Earth. There are places in the South Pole that have never been explored by Man, and restricted areas there where pilots are not allowed to fly over...

Whatever. Once I decided to just go with the flow when it came to the inexplicable, Time seemed to stop existing; now, - I just am.

I might be dead and don't know it.😗

I've never been into conspiracy theories so I never questioned whether we actually went to the moon before, but now when I see the old photos of the astronauts on the moon, they look - phony. 🤫

And speaking of "phony", why aren't we given more specific images and info about the U.S. pilot who was supposedly rescued from the cave he was hiding in after being shot down in Iran? No name no actual picture of him. Nothing. I would think they'd be parading him around to justify the millions of dollars the rescue operation cost to pull off...

the "duplicated phrase" quirk

That happened to me this week. Shifting between universes did not occur to me as a cause, I chalked it up to some autocomplete feature that happened too quick for me to notice. I do sometimes imagine/feel one can shift from one universe to another, so you never know.

Absolutely. I also believe we probably are not capable of comprehending all there is that is out there.

The universe is a mysterious place.

What is a Conspiracy Theorist?

The Term is used to dismise and discredit individuals who promote Ideas contrary to the mainstream or that which is not intend for public consumption or consideration..

As a result most Conspiracy Theory and theorist start out as Whistleblower's and the information they are divulging and those who believe them

In Reality Most human Endeavors that are kept secret is a Conspiracy among those who know....It remains a Theory until they are forced to admit it existence.

I Have never denied that Vaccines save Lives....especially when it was first introduced to Western Civilization.

Today and in the recent Past this has change as many rich and powerful individual saw where it could be used to make money and maintain greater control over the Globe.

You are entitle to your opinions and beliefs

I have seen in my lifetime doctors and companies knowing the evils of smoking cigarrettes recommending it as good for your health

So I do not trust The Official Mainstreams news to tell the truth....when one individual have more many than many countries and nations...

From My understanding .....

They do not consider the earth ours nor do they consider outright war/hostile take over progressive or beneficial.

They are here trying to ensure that the specie and the Earth survive

The Nations States Countries or even Human Civilization is not important to them

According to some Ancient Scriptures we Human of Earth have manage to destroy our civilization.....seven Times already and had to start over from scratch

Prison Planet.....yo do not need a specie that believe that war can lead to peace or solve issues becoming too advance - The only logical end to war is Mutual Destruction

We are Sims...

Hence our goal is Enlightenment - Self Realization - Awakenment.....break free of the Simulation - Self Awareness

In short we are the ghost in the machine

University Professor PROVES We Live in a Virtual-Reality Simulation

Idiot Quotient statistics are a curious thing.

75% score below 111, 5% score above 124.

On the Conspiracy Theory business the amount of "Silence" about the Distribution of Steel down the Twin Towers among people who should regard it as a relatively simple Physics Problem is a rather interesting phenomenon all by itself.

I have decided to refer to AI as SIS.

Simulated Idiot Savant 😆

Less than 0.00001% of the population cares about it.

We are all dependent upon Physics no matter what we think, believe or care about. Part of why the world is so screwed up is people out of touch with Reality.

Months ago I asked a SIS to do a steel distribution estimate:

The distribution of steel in a skyscraper more than 1,000 feet tall is generally such that the majority of the steel is concentrated in the lower sections of the building. This is because the lower portions must bear the weight of the entire structure above them, requiring more robust and stronger materials. Here is a generalized breakdown of how the steel might be distributed by percentage in each 10% segment of the building's height:

1. Bottom 10% (0-10%): Approximately 25-30% of the total steel

2. 10-20%: Approximately 15-20% of the total steel

3. 20-30%: Approximately 10-15% of the total steel

4. 30-40%: Approximately 8-10% of the total steel

5. 40-50%: Approximately 7-8% of the total steel

6. 50-60%: Approximately 5-7% of the total steel

7. 60-70%: Approximately 4-5% of the total steel

8. 70-80%: Approximately 3-4% of the total steel

9. 80-90%: Approximately 2-3% of the total steel

10. Top 10% (90-100%): Approximately 1-2% of the total steel

These percentages are illustrative and can vary depending on the specific design, structural requirements, and architectural choices of the building.

Human survival is dependent on oxygen too.

Yet, the average person does not think too much about &/or knows scientifically what it takes for them to survive.

Being out of touch with reality is subjective. It is dependent on that which is important to a person or a group of people.

For example, rich people have no idea of what other people are talking about when it comes to their reality of the cost of groceries, gas, healthcare, etc.😁😎

When did people see oxygen?

At this point the issue is how/why didn't authoritative sources bring up such an obvious issue 24 years ago? And how can they be trusted in the future to not let something that significant slide?

Add paragraph

@umbrarchist Is expecting experts in the field of Physics who continue to ignore or expose the twin towers enigma you describe and attach importance to, an example of YOU being out of touch with reality in thinking what you have exposed is important?? Especially since not exposing the discrepancy about what amount of steel was poured where, has not had an impact on the 20+ years since the twin towers collapse. What big difference would knowing what you know make to a population already cynical about its Government. Being deceived is nothing new, something I'm sure others have called to your attention.

You are obviously out of touch in attaching great importance to this quirk you are fixated on. The reality is: it is what it is.

After all these centuries, engineers are still trying to figure out the meta-physics of HOW the pyramids were built. Who ever has their priorities together enough to figure out the answer to that puzzle, could win a Pulitzer Prize!

OTOH, maybe you could share the truth about the construction of the twin towers with the Trump administration. That information is on a par with the Epstein files and could prove to be yet another finger in the dyke. 😜

I never saw realtime video of the construction of the pyramids and voted against Trump Three Times without ever thinking about the Epstein files.

I have suggested dozens of times on BlueSky that the Air Force is guilty of "Dereliction of Duty" for not using an A-10 Warthog to add a few holes to a golf course and relieve the country of a "Domestic Enemy".

How many Executive Orders has he signed that violate the Constitution? Haven't military officers taken oaths to defend the Constitution?

But then there is the really important issue which is also related to Physics. And another case of "Experts" not dealing with Relevant Data. Automobiles depreciating due to wear and tear but the data not being incorporated into the Net Domestic Product.

A few weeks ago I watched a video of a Black Woman crying about having to give up her BMW because she could not make the payments. Useless variations in over priced garbage since WWII fighter planes could do 400 mph.

Physics is Eternal. Consumerism will totally crash before this century is out.

Physics is a B____!

The question is something that is so essential to human existence yet very people feel a need to know eveything about it.

Maybe they enjoyed living more than being unalived.

They are doing whatever it takes to survive & take care of their families & enjoy this ride called life.😎
