Like I wonder if there's a correlation between intelligence and losing your natural environment protection in favour of worn garments, or if it's a quirk of our particular matrix of environment and monkey chassis.

Id always assumed it's a result of evolving over the course of several extreme climate changes, we lost a bunch of our hair when it was hot for a long time, then figured out "mm, deer live in snow, me take deer fur" when it got cold again/we moved to cold places The aquatic ape theory is enticing too, we learned how good fish were for us and the best swimmers got to have the most kids since they had slightly less hair and got the most fish, fast forward a bit and all the sudden there was way less hair. e pleased to google and find out the aquatic ape theory is given about as much credence as ancient aliens lol Inspector Hound has issued a correction as of 03:01 on Dec 12, 2021 |

I don't think the soft version of Aquatic Ape is too crazy implausible ie groups that got comfortable around the sea opened up fishing and shell-fish diving for themselves and did well, reinforcing adaptations that helped with swimming, diving and sailing. People tend to think of evolution as taking place over millions of years but I always like to point out that things like dairy and alcohol tolerance are from the last few thousand years. There's evidence of folk eating whale and shellfish at least 150,000+ years ago. Ratios and Tendency has issued a correction as of 03:38 on Dec 12, 2021 |

Riot Bimbo posted:I have thus far more or less refused to interact with lue content; what's actually there that makes a patron of a straight up fascist worth listening to? well he's one of the two guys responsible for the entire UAP thing breaking into the public with any legitimacy and all the developments over the past few years leading to where we currently are at with the US congress signing a bill into law creating a new office specifically for the purpose of investigating and reporting on UFOs since, again due largely in part to this dude's actions, members of congress and the senate on intelligence committees have been repeatedly briefed with classified information demonstrating that oh poo poo UFOs are real. also to indirectly answer your question, yes tucker is an insidious fascist but to the vast majority of people who haven't conditioned their brains in leftist echo chambers he's just a dumb reporter with some bad politics who's willing to give a platform to this issue without openly mocking it, and not literally everything he does is in service to some higher evil purpose, he's just a person like everyone else  was involved at a high level at gitmo, was a trained interrogator and thus almost certainly did some waterboarding and the like, and is also in large part the reason that this information regarding a phenomenon which has been around far too long for it all to be a completely made up op has been getting slowly pushed out into the public spherethe world is not black and white regardless of how easy and enjoyable it is to shitpost like it is

what's this guy's reputation in the ufo community https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmaa-PtVCkI (5:37) "That the historical evidence indicates they've been with us a long time, and I've concluded that we've had what I'd like to call an intimate interrelationship with at least one of those groups, the group that looks exactly like we do. And that point is I don't like the word "alien". I don't think the term alien is appropriate at all here. I like to refer to them as family. We're related to them. I think they had a hand in our being here. And I think the time has come where we're about to meet our extended family. It's gonna be very soon." Also, I feel like NATO's top security clearance being called "COSMIC TOP SECRET" is something I should have learned sooner somewhere, somehow chairface posted:viva posadas!

is like if they took Carl Sagan or Brian cox and told em to just talk about aitee for as long as they want. that's his role and that's why he's fascinating and, even if you recognize what he is (and I think all of us in this thread do) - he's a great storyteller with a personal hook. If storytelling is a big part of what makes humanity great then of course the powers that be are going to find the best bard they can manufacture to pass it along to us.

Fashionable is our racial trait and we're here to dress up the universe I kind of love this idea. Maybe they're just watching and waiting to see how our fashion evolves. Or maybe they're already here. Do you *really* think the armadillo boot was designed for a human foot?

The confusion stems from a number of statements made by a retired United States Army Sergeant Major named Robert O. Dean.

my bony fealty posted:he's charismatic and says all the right words to generate intrigue, like a perfectly grown avatar for the current state of UAP discourse. in addition to everything posted above I think that's it. when you watch and listen to Lue you really feel like he's letting you in on a little secret, a little bit of the truth. he'll never give you more than that, and that's the appeal. in other words I take Lue at face value in that I believe he really is a patriot (in our grandfather's sense of the word) who would never ever break his oaths of silence under any circumstances, a true believer in the post-war American ideal. It's not that he's only giving us a little bit of the truth to keep us hooked on purpose, I really think he is giving us as much as he can and still feel true to his duty and oaths to keep the secrets he swore to uphold. I think the whole "only Nixon could go to China" thing is a great analogy. Anybody else would have just leaked the classified videos and been immediately put in the same bucket as anybody else who is supposedly disclosing classified government secrets and met with a solid wall of denial. Instead, Lue did everything by the book in getting those videos declassified then resigning in protest with enough evidence for the New York Times to take him seriously and in a position where people like Harry Reid could actually publicly back him. It took somebody like Lue to break this whole thing open my bony fealty posted:
I think there is an op, but it's not an op born from a government in lockstep who sent him on a mission. It seems pretty obvious to me there are at least two factions with opposite opinions about disclosure. I don't think Lue was chosen as an agent of disclosure by the faction in favor of doing so and sent out with marching orders, he strikes me much more as one of the main people behind it, not just taking orders but originating and planning this out. In fact, if anything this was not a government sanctioned op but a Lue Coup, and it's resulted in him dragging those opposed kicking and screaming into the current paradigm. The Chad Jihad posted:I have 0 doubt lue is a grifter, but it's an easy position to hold because if I'm right I'm right and if I'm wrong alien disclosure uap discourse etc wrx You are very wrong, but Wheeee already said it best: Wheeee posted:He's almost certainly an op, but he is not a grifter; that's about the most asinine possible interpretation as to what he is if you've been paying even the slightest attention, thinking that someone with his career and connections needs to collect tiny paycheques from History Channel appearances and some day years after he entered the public realm sell some copies of a book that doesn't even yet exist. The same thing applies even moreso to Christopher Mellon!

Lue's father was a Cuban exile who signed up to go fight in the bay of pigs, guy was raised in a traditional old school household in what was ingrained into him was an adoptive nation that had embraced his family in the aftermath of a devastating revolution in his homeland. No poo poo he turned out a true believer patriot, and as mentioned, he's the kind of person who actually gets trusted with the most insanely secret and important information within organizations. Reddit is full of the sort of dipshits who swear if they ever had this sort of information they'd totally leak it all out drat the consequences, and that attitude is precisely why they are and will always be nobody worker drones who aren't trusted with anything important.

*knowledgeably* the egyptian priest was trying to explain to solon that prior advanced civilizations had retreated to the bottom of the ocean to avoid solar fluctuations, leaving only the rude people of the mountains to repopulate the surface of the earth, and now that we're loving the ocean up for them with underwater nuclear tests and acidification, they're getting annoyed
