The UFO community does not see these tech bros as gatekeepers, and that is the entire point of Jesse's show. It's propaganda to lull the UFO community into thinking Thiel is their savior when he just uses them for PR battles against defense contractors.
That's the psyop, and it worked perfectly.

Shrek (especially Shrek 2) is crazy because on its face, it should be an artifact of its time with the amount of 2000s references, but it still works.
Or mentally, I’m still stuck in 2007 sometimes, who’s to say!

I’m also not saying that this technology shouldn’t be in the public domain.
What I am saying is that the strategies I’ve witnessed over the past several years by certain individuals, along with their ideologies, have led me to believe that this is not about transparency for them.
It’s about money.

The challenge of this age is to figure how to do that as a group imo.

This thread is the abridged, 1am version of the intro to the essay I alluded to here. My first long thread!

Whatever comes Next (between our great filter, the whole UAP thing, and the gradual scientific acknowledgement of consciousness) is gonna be weird and gonna be something we can’t currently conceive of.
But that’s what’s exciting. We get to influence the outcome.

Not everyone has the means to be able to ponder stuff like this and make moves. That’s why I think it’s a moral imperative to help your neighbors and those less fortunate than you if you do have the breathing room to navigate the world this way.
The New Age won’t happen just cause.

We’ll figure out what works, as a species, by lots of little communities trying to survive in a different way than now.
Solarpunk farming commune with robots in Ohio? Yeah!
A cybercrime crime family located in Montenegro? Sure why not!
If you succeed, you’ll live a good life.

I haven’t the faintest idea of what the fix it. What combinations of traditions, shame, food and holidays this hypothetical way of life is going to have is beyond me.
But I do know that genes don’t work on the first try. They keep mixing until something clicks.
And so should we.

And here we get to my point.
This bottleneck is forcing us to evolve. But we don’t need to leave it to random chance of genes rearranging themselves - we can choose the memes we spread and combine and splice. We have free will.
We’re *in* the rapture. It’s happening around us right now.

Maturity, empathy, foresight, and security have another prerequisite.
We have to be here to posses those traits.
We’re addicted, chronically sick, divided, and mistrustful.
We need a new way of living that can perpetuate itself to inoculate us against this insane memetic selection pressure.

Trust requires us to have maturity, empathy, foresight, and security.
Having our engagement and data - bytes of loosh - extracted from us by technofuedal capital owners to keep us angry at shadows on a cave wall will not foster those traits.

Barring some bananas technological black swan that lets us punt this spiritual evolution another few hundred years down the line,
We’re gonna have to survive with a lot more dangerous tech (ie nuclear power) in the hands of a lot more people to deal with the changing climate. That requires trust.

“Okay, you’re saying go out and grind, don’t be a wage slave, what’s the big deal?”
Zoom out. The current playbook employed by those in power is going to continue to continue to diminish in terms of returns. How do we break the doom loop?

Right now I think that we’re in an era where if we autopilot and just think about our careers or families or hobbies (or all 3), we’re gonna be prone to ruin because the current incentive structure’s trajectory is not going to a good place (climate crisis, social fraying, economic woes etc).

Talking about how “things used to be” is a bit silly, given that the median age here is probably like 31 or something and I’m sure as hell not older than that, but I think a safe thing we can all agree on is that the rate of change is accelerating.
A lot.

“Yeah yeah”, I hear you say, “we’re addicted to sin and our current age is the moment of judgement, very new age, very age of aquarius”, and yeah, at a high level I’m basically pointing that out.
But my point is if we think that’s true (which if you’re reading this, we agree on that), now what?
comment in response to

The forcing function - what is pushing us - is not a biological function (new prey/disease), nor a technological one (can they handle nukes?), but a mindset one (can they choose to evolve?)
Our addiction to convenience is killing us. I think our various epidemics stem from that.

Trump wants to end the conflict ASAP for optics purposes. Vance suggested an immediate freezing of the conflict similar to the Korean War (complete with a DMZ along current borders). I think Putin is trying a last minute gamble to gain as much land as possible (regardless if he can hold long term).

Another weird ESP trend I just remembered: it’s enhanced by geometry, like pyramids come up super often as structures that enhance it somehow.
How’s that work?
There’s so many places where this spirituality phenomena “hooks in” to the 3D world. So many hanging threads…

Not a mine, but I’m pretty sure there have been sightings over uranium processing facilities where the ore is refined.

IME, the culture is very “show up to some obscure granny you know’s house and she reads your future”. There might be some more accessible stuff now but that’s how I was exposed to it 20 years ago.

I absorbed that from my childhood when I lived in Bosnia. That region is home to the Vlach people. As for links:

Lots of sightings off the Adriatic coast in Montenegro (if you’re there, I recommend checking out Kotor, gorgeous city). Eastern Serbia also has a big witch/folk magic thing going on.

I took it as a long covid side effect when I heard it. Any inflammatory-heavy infection has a small chance to really mess people’s organs up, especially if they’re older or unhealthy.
I had a family friend growing up
who never quite came back mentally from the flu in her 70s.

I’ve followed Pines for years, I don’t think he’s in cahoots with this movement. I think he broadly sees the ways the winds are blowing geopolitically and knows a lot of the silicon valley new-center-right/“grey tribe” (as they call themselves). He’s a guy who job it is to notice paradigm shifts imo

I’d like to go back and observe the time immediately preceding the younger dryas. See if people were hanging out in tribes, or if there really was an ice age civilization.
That, or the Mayans during their apex.
