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...

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.😁😎

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.

@umbrarchist My original question in regard to your ongoing crusade was, is it possible that you are out of touch with reality in thinking your concerns will be addressed.

Your response was beside the point because it didn't address the "you being out of touch with reality" issue.

I think that in a Capitalistic society your particular gripes are a waste of time. Without "planned obsolescence" there would be no industy. Admitting construction and design mistakes is not profitable. It's all about the bottom line. (Life isn't fair.)

And, so it goes...

The planet cannot sustain the planned obsolescence so some peculiar things will happen before the end of this century.

I just watched what I regard as a very funny video about automobiles. A White woman was complaining about the idiotic cybernetic features in overpriced automobiles.

She was supposed to pay a subscription for the remote start to preheat her car. 😆🤣😆

The funny thing about the Economic Power Game that people keep calling Capitalism is that the economists are technological illiterates and the system is built on hiding information. I worked for IBM and had to write my own benchmarks to find what IBM was not telling its own employees.

I never even saw the word 'benchmark' in IBM documentation.

The WTC problem is that middle school kids should figure out that skyscrapers must have more steel toward the bottom. So the problem is the delusional people who have not expected to be told.

So all of Gen-Z is an issue. The oldest were 5 on 9/11. I read a post of one complaining about his kindergarten teacher on 9/11. So what is the story with Zoomers who can think their way out of a paper bag?

Just because the words 'building' and 'collapse' are there does not mean that they are similar.

As far as I can tell the Florida collapse was a combination of flawed design and bad maintenance. Water undermined the foundation. With proper design and bad maintenance it would not have happened. With good maintenance it would not have happened even with the design flaw. Mass falling on and destroying the structure below had nothing to do with it.

The WTC destruction was not about water and the top came down onto the lower portion which had to get stronger and heavier all of the way down. Which raises the question of why lots of "experts" don't demand the data though some experts have a problem.

Yes....I defend the video because I respect the credentials of the Scientists involved

Can they be wrong...sure they can be

I do not believe they are wrong......because this information is not new but old

The Video is a recording of scientists sharing their discovery using science and as such is then scientific.....

So what are you saying that Prof James Gates and Prof Seth Llyod are wrong in their assumption and assertions?

I welcome disagreement....but what scientists science arguments or reasonings do you use to support your disagreement?

@frankster below I have embedded the video you shared. There are several tells which gives me pause when consuming content online. I would have normally stopped watching 5 seconds into the video, but since you shared it and it was only 5 minutes long, I watched the thing twice (once when you first posted it and again just now).

I would have immediately skipped it after 5 seconds because the voice over said Professor Gates Proves the voice over said we live in a virtual reality simulation. This is simply false on it's face.

Dr. Tyson was respectful but clearly was not buying into Gates' theory -- again, Gates himself never said he had "proof."

Sure, it is a provocative notion and sure to garner some views (34K in 7 years), but you also have to consider the source: Who is "Simulation Secrets" and what is their motivation?

Their YouTube presence is marginal, small even when compared to mine only 164K total views on the channel. It is used to promote a self-published book, Simulation Secrets: Don't Be Afraid by Casper Stith.

Now the question becomes, who is Casper Stith. and why should we believe him? Again, when an unknown and uncredentialled person makes hyperbolic claims, I am very wary of what they have to say and generally don't invest my time into what they are sharing. There are simply too many vetted and reputable sources generating fascinating content to be dealing with fringe lunacy.

@frankster you seem like a reasonable person why do you trust anything Stith is sharing? Did you know that he is also a Flat Earther? Stith also wrote a book entitled, The Earth is Flat: Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid. Does this give you pause?

I eagerly await your response.

I am not interested in what the voice over is saying or what the title of the video is

What is important to me is what the Professor are stating

True Gates never said he had proof.....

But he did say he was led to that conclusion thus far based on his research

I am not a follower or a supporter of Simulation Secrets...Nor I am acquainted with his motivations - be they what they are

I used his material because it had a clip of Prof Gates making the relevant statement....that is the only reason I used his video.

It tangentially support what @aka Contrarian mused.....my aimed was to let her know she is not alone in that thought or type of thinking

I did not intend to promote any book.....Only the statements made by the Scientist as it relates to our discussion.

I do not know of Casper Stith.....Nor do I believe him

I know of Professor Gates.....I give great weight to anything he has to say in his field of study and expertise

As you should....

I do not trust Stith

I trust Gates....as I have seen him make these statements in other official scientific circles

No I did not...

There you have it

The Simulation Hypothesis has many correlations going back yrs....in short it is not new - just a different way of saying it

Adinkra which he mention is an African divination pictographic language....not unlike hieroglyphics
