  1. Once you have accepted we are in a simulation, be it God's vivid imagination or a giant computer, the next question is: are we a product of the simulation or are we creatures from outside the simulation currently playing the game?

  2.  @HANKHILLFORTXGOVERNOR  More likely the real you is in a giant room, lying on a bed, with thousands of other people, wearing a headset; metaphorically speaking.

  3.  @reginat595  It's a more authentic experience if you don't remember it's a simulation. It would border on the pointless if you could remember.

  4.  @MrJest2  If you could not carry the gains of previous lives forward into future lives the "game" would be pointless. So some memory leakage is probably unavoidable. But knowing with certainty you were in a simulation would also make your current life pointless.

  6. I suspect some authors are remote viewing inadvertently. Psychography (automatic writing) is a thing.

  8.  @glenbateman5960  The universe being a simulation doesn't prove we don't exist. We may be in the simulation but not part of it. Obviously we don't remember our lives outside the simulation so that makes it seem real to us.

  10. I read the story of a little girl who was taken by her father to a classified air show. People objected to her being there, but her father said, she's only nine, she won't remember anything when she's grown up. But now she's grown up she remembers just fine. There were flying saucers floating above the ground.

  11.  @jughead18sp  It's probable you don't have real legs; the real you is pure thought. People who have had out-of-body experiences say they floated around bodiless and moved just by willing it.

  13. Peter Wright revealed that nothing happens at MI5 in the morning until everyone has done that day's Times crossword. Btw, MI6 doesn't do crypto; in the UK it's done by GCHQ, aka NSA (UK) Inc.

  14. Some of what he says is crap. He said the moon's density is 1% of Earth's. It isn't, it's 60%. With 1% density Armstrong and Aldrin would have gone into orbit with every step they took.

  15. In case anyone is thinking 43,200 is an obscure number, remember they used base 60 back then. Convert 43,200 to base 60 and you will find it's an exact round number.

  16. Neil Armstrong did not "release his own transcript". The "other spaceships on the rim of the crater watching us" story comes from Above Top Secret a book by Tim Good in which he makes clear that Armstrong's hotel room was bugged by someone Good knows, at a classified conference while Armstrong was talking to someone who had the clearance to know.

  17. One factor in modern human survival that may be far more important than generally realized is the domestication of dogs. They provide the night vision and sense of smell that we lack. In films it's always the dog that knows the stranger is a danger. And dogs seem to have a fear of tall dark hairy strangers. Dogs are our early warning system, especially at night. The size of Neanderthal eye sockets indicate they were nocturnal, as most predators are. Night is the danger time for humans.

  18. Yes, then there's the stripping for the polygraph, and you have to wear glasses that make you shortsighted while you're on the base.

  20. This also implies the moon's builders want you to know it's artificial. The orbit is "in your faces, Earthlings!"

  21. The books make it clear that they choose their flight paths and times to avoid being detected by human radar or seen by human observers. I guess natural light from the full moon means their craft don't have to have their lights on.

  22. I would have fully explored for treasure before telling anyone.

  25. The moon's density is 60% of Earth's, not 1%. It's volume is approx 1% of the Earth's volume. It's a pea to an orange.

  27. I'm a software engineer and what may not be obvious to the layman is that almost all software is built up from other software, like bricks in a wall. A vast amount of this "other" software, known as "middleware", is available for free (known as "shareware") to software developers just to download and use for their own commercial products at no charge. Supposedly all the shareware is made by "enthusiasts" who are happy to contribute their time for the good of the world. !!!BS!!!! There is certainly intel money all over the place compromising the shareware. And we developers have built this comprised code into every piece of software we made because we never have the time to write all the software from scratch. No amount of user caution or air gaps can save you if the malware was built-in at the factory.

  28. There seems to be a lot of correlating data about Tall Whites in the public domain. The Serpo files report a planet which is dark and very hot. Earth is too bright and too cold for TWs so they are only seen outside at night in the desert. The 'glow' which surrounds their bodies is a force field described by Charles Hall in his books. It keeps them warm and can be used to travel over ground by levitation. The 'ghost horse' is a line of TWs. They seem to zip along the ground in a conga line for fun (may be the kids doing this.) The faster they travel the brighter the glow from their force fields. The Teacher told Hall that their planet is always hot, overcast and dark. Hence they are albinos. They didn't even know there were stars until they developed flight and got above the clouds. Mt Zeil in Australia near Alice Springs is also associated with UFO sightings and alien contacts. By shear coincidence it has a secret America spy base near it (Pine Gap). Halls reports that TWs are not naturally telepathic but they have equipment that can be used to send and receive thoughts. They are not hostile but are very protective of their children and would shoot a human as a precautionary measure. TWs have offered to help establish human colonies on other planets but they won't share their FTL technology - all transport would be using their ships. Hall seems to think the government has mainly declined this offer, also there was a military mission to Serpo which was largely unproductive. Some of the humans died getting there; some died there; at the end of the ten year mission some refused to return; those that did return were effectively prisoners for the rest of their lives. Halls is also clear TWs do not consider their presence on Earth to be a secret. They are happy for humans to know about them and meet them (be careful - they are very cautious creatures and will shoot.) The secrecy comes from the government and the TWs tolerate it most of the time.

  29. Any mention of Zeta Reticuli is suspect. It was deduced by an amateur astronomer (Marjorie Fish) who analyzed a "star map" on the wall of a UFO seen by an abductee (Betty Hill). Fish herself of course never saw the map. An interstellar spaceship would not have a map on the wall to help the aliens navigate. It would be so imprecise as to be useless. Our own sea ships do not navigate by charts on the wall. They have everything on screens with update whenever there's an internet connection. Nope, forget Zeta Reticuli, beloved of true believers. It always indicates fabrication. Next, the concept of alien survivors at Roswell is a recent invention. The original interviews only mention bodies; the Majestic-12 presidential briefing document as leaked to UFOlogist Tim Good only says bodies, not survivors. Empirically, one alien surviving a crash when all the others died is unlikely. The craft was shredded metal, metal so strong human tools cannot cut it; flesh would not survive. Then, mainstream UFOlogy knows a lot about "gray" aliens. They are not a civilization in their own right. They are cloned workers of another civilization. They don't speak; they communicate telepathically. They have tiny mouths but their necks are too thin to pass food. Nutrient liquid may be possible. How do we know this? We don't really, but there is a high degree of consistency between contactees. These are things they all agree on. These things are believable. Ebens may be real, but they are not "grays". Some aspects of the Serpo story are more convincing though. The film Close Encounters of the Third Kind features a group of humans embarking on a voyage to an alien planet. The film had J. A. Hynek as a consultant. Hynek was also a consultant to the USAF on UFOs. He may have inserted some true facts into the film, in a deniable form of course. Also, the original leaked Serpo documents are highly detailed, to the point of being boring. Not what a Science Fiction author would write. Last, some aspects of the Eben behavior are both weird and yet consistent. It's weird to clone dead humans so less likely to be inserted into fictional writing. The author wants to be believed after all. Yet the UFO phenomenon consistently shows trans-species genetic experimentation; exsanguination, organ removal. This unethical behavior seems to permeate the alien phenomenon. Aliens seem to have none of the concerns we would have about the quality of life of their creations. So there may be some underlying truth to "Serpo".

  31.  @snapsna  Maybe when you join the simulation you choose the IQ of your character, and people who seem gullible are just those who decided to be low IQ in this life. Remember, if you make your life harder you gain more from being here.

  33.  @ivodepivo21  If you know it's a simulation you aren't going to take it completely seriously. At the back of your mind all the time will be "this isn't real" so you won't have the opportunity to really grow.

  35. The alleged remains of Sumerian Queen Puabli that you show are actually from Bolivia. Her real remains, with headdress, don't show skull elongation.

  39. The theory goes that the moon has a thin layer of soil (about 5 miles thick) over a metal shell; probably 100 miles thickness of titanium. Craters can get wider but they can never get deeper because the meteor hits the shell.

  40. Lunar craters are even more of a smoking gun than AJ said. If you plot crater width vs depth you find, up to a point, wider craters are also deeper craters, as you would expect: bigger impactors make bigger holes. But after a depth of approx five miles craters get wider but not deeper. A crater a hundred miles wide is still only five miles deep; and the crater floor starts to look convex! On other moons wider craters are also deeper craters - look at phobos. On the moon it seems like the bigger meteors are passing through a rocky outer layer and hitting a much harder shell, or hull, possibly a hundred mile thickness of titanium. The interior could be a zero-gee void, maybe with breathable atmosphere, or the hull could be attached by pillars to an interior world; ie, a smaller planetoid was "roofed over".

  41. If someone builds a giant face looking up to the sky, then they are trying to communicate a message; and not communicate with fellow Martians, communicate with people arriving or viewing from space. The message they are sending is obvious: we were here and here is where you need to look to see what we left behind. I speculate they were a post-apocalyptic remnant of the Martian civilization and, knowing they were going extinct, they built the face to house a library/museum which contained whatever they had left after the war. Their equivalent of the Mona Lisa is there; their great works of literature; a history of their people.

  42. The UK uses imperial except where the government forces us to use metric. There have been some quite passionate court cases; google Metric Martyrs.

  43. Whenever I comment on this channel it gets deleted. AJ? Probably not. I put extra information about the subject and someone deletes the comment. This time I put a link to a video interview of someone mentioned in this video, not on YT though. The interviewer used to to have a YT channel but it got taken down, now all his vids are on his personal website.

  44. I've seen channels like this before. They go away suddenly and then a new channel with the same or similar name pops up but it's full of nonsense.

  45. Don't overlook the fact there are several AIs. WW3 will be between AIs, with humans as collateral damage.

  46. Fifty light years away isn't the outer solar system. It's many solar systems away.

  47. The killer fact for me is that the craters get wider but not deeper. Plot width vs depth and you find that the small craters are proportional - wider means deeper. But there's a maximum depth of five miles so the bigger craters are very wide, hundreds of miles wide sometimes, but not deeper. This gives the craters a "painted on" look. It seems the meteors are hitting a hard shell about five miles below the surface so craters can never be deeper than that. Other airless moons in the solar system, eg phobos, have craters which are proportional.

  48. They can't stop aliens communicating directly with us via circles, so they just make 10x circles so we don't know which ones are real.

  50. I'm sure Elon Musk wants ZPE for Tesla. If you have a working prototype give him a call - he'll spring for a couple of billion. After he has paid up, say btw I also have anti-grav so no-one will want cars anymore, so long sucker!
