It’s one giant antenna. Your ribcage, your arms, your brain, the whole thing’s an antenna. So this hypes up your antenna. Then all of a sudden, what do you see? You see a bunch of creatures that are very old, very powerful, that are more synthetic. That are AI. That don’t have the feeling, the emotions, they don’t have the love, the capability of love. They don’t have the capability as a soul that understands what love is, and love is what created the universe. But let’s just take that word “love” out and just say “unified mind.”

Think I just saw something burn up in the atmosphere. Even called a friend to confirm he could see it (he did). 6:42pm mountain time, 37.5°N central San Luis Valley, CO moving ENE. Line of lights, relatively equidistant between each other. Burned/faded out after watching it for 2 minutes.

Probably just space trash burning up but I was halfway through a joint, which is why I called my friend and couldn't be sure.

I really don't know what it could be besides space trash. It covered such a large distance, from the horizon to beyond above me, 110° or so, in two minutes, and just kinda faded away. Maybe 30-40 lights, relatively equidistant from each other moving at the same speed, faded out from the front first, tail last, over a couple seconds. Absolutely spotless sky, not a cloud in sight, Venus maybe 10° off the WSW horizon, hour and a half since sundown.

Rationally, it's space trash, but it was just so loving weird.

It's the 50 satellites launched yesterday, which are both "functional" satellites and also space trash.

I saw space junk reenter and burn once a few years ago (upper stage of a Long March rocket decaying from GTO), and you would absolutely know if you saw it because it breaks up as it enters the dense atmosphere and leaves trails of plasma behind all of the pieces. It's really loving awesome.

For a particularly spectacular example since it was planned to be recorded rather than spotted on the fly:

Early 2020 I was in the middle of nowhere along the Marlborough Sounds of NZ’s South Island doing some astrophotography, when one of the starlink satellites came hurtling along. Unreal to see it in such dark, dark skies but it also ruined my photos. Not a bird, just a fuckwit’s satellite. :(

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

totally unrelated to aitees and peanuts but wandering over for a gander at the book barn reminds me, poster General Battuta is a published author and his first(?) novel The Traitor Baru Cormorant is pretty good; sort of a materialist take on fantasy without the typical dragons and wizards poo poo and instead focused more on empire and colonialism, economics and identity

Did you finish the trilogy? What are you thoughts?
I haven't even finished the first book but I like it a lot so far. Definitely has some very cool ideas.

Anyway this is my theory on what's happening with disclosure:

The Elizondo-Mellon crowd is part of a PR operation designed to salvage the government's legitimacy. "There were some really bad people in power who were hiding the truth from you. Thankfully we've beaten them with your help. You wrote to your legislators, and it worked. The good guys are back in charge!"

The whole tug of war that will play out between the old guard and the rebels is just theater and the end has been pre-determined. The op designers hope the public will feel like they successfully reformed the system instead of howling with rage when they learn the truth. The whole thing seems scripted.

Another possibility(not mutually exclusive) is that the information is so shocking they want to drip feed it or people will lose their poo poo. I think people are so burned out and focused on themselves that's not a concern, but maybe the government refuses to take any chances.
