Huh, somehow Carter being at all associated with UFOs missed me entirely, that's wild. The coordinates especially, I've never heard a president talk about anything even remotely approaching that poo poo

read "Phenomena" by Annie Jacobsen

the Pentagon definitely believes they are getting ROI on psi research.

on the other hand, we need not wonder how the director of the CIA could possibly have had foreknowledge of the coordinates.

I'm listening to Weinstein on Rogan now, I don't recommend it, these are two of my most hated pop culture public figures at the moment, Weinstein is such a loving blowhard,

https://open.spotify.com/episode/7MDxyrrhD7gC7XMRwB0ulv

But I need to read the subtext here. I need to understand what Weinstein's handlers are telling him. I need to know how his attitudes have shifted as a result. I need to slot this into the bigger picture in the ufo world today. And so i must listen to Rogan waxing poetic about the muscular vigor of driving a car :jerkbag:

*ohshishtohman its the president... how am I gonna explain this to him?*

"Heeeeeeey there buddy. Uh, yeah, yeah. I just heard about it. Awful accident, terrible, yeah. Okay, so we don't have aaaaaany possible way of knowing annnnnnything about this plane or where it crashed, buuuuut I do... uh.... know this psychic lady. Maybe she can help?"

The Tao folks, am I right? Tao. "Dahh-ow". They love their non-action. Know what they call it? Wu Wei. Oh believe me. "Woo-Wee". Many are saying that Woo-Wee means that things unfold naturally. Look, sometimes the best thing you can do is nothing at all. That's what the Dahh-ow teaches us with Woo-Wee. Sometimes you gotta just sit back, relax, and let things take their course.That's the best way to achieve true success

The NatGeo UFO series that just came out is surprisingly good, and the first episode contains an animation of the Nimitz tictac glitch hopping all around Fravor's F18 during the encounter that underscores how insanely these things maneuver.

Wild to me that this is on television right now (but also streaming on Hulu)

Holy Jesus. I'm only halfway through this thing.

What Weinstein is saying, in a bloviating, over-inflated way is a variation of what Ive been saying in this thread. If antigravity exists it points to physics beyond the standard model & GR. We know that we don't understand quantum gravity and that is by definition physics beyond the standard model and GR. If we understood quantum gravity perhaps we'd see a novel way to achieve antigravity effects although it isn't a guarantee. If we truly are seeing UFOs zipping around with extreme accelerations, visiting from distant star systems, then we can probably conclude antigravity exists and this gives us both a hope and a clue toward new physics. This is exactly what I've been saying about the black triangles, and trying to estimate how strong is the evidence of extreme accelerations in those cases.

It's hard to pick a most irritating part of the whole presentation but right now what bothers me the most is Weinstein's embarrassing masculine posturing. Talking about "cowboy scientists", how physics used to be better back in the 1950s when "hard-drinking, skirt-chasing" scientists weren't bogged down by string theory and diversity & inclusion (oh things were better back in a mythical golden age? i've never heard that one before from a crypto fascist), offhandedly mentioning street fights and "picking up chicks" in a bar by talking about spacetime, jesus loving christ, I wonder if anyone buys this poo poo

Anyway besides the physics content, the other thing to listen for is him talking about being approached by unnamed insiders who keep promising to fly him out to Colorado Springs and show him stuff that will blow his mind. He says three times they said they were gonna do it and then pulled back. He says Sam Harris got sick of this and backed out after the third time. He says they say they have 100% conclusive perfectly clear video. He says he talked to Eric Davis. He also says he's had a hard time talking to any physicist on the inside, only Eric Davis and Hal Puthoff, and he has a low opinion of Puthoff.

He also is still going on about his "geometric unity" theory and he really believes it is his life's work.

I don't physics but I'm reading a book right now about quantum physics and according to it the whole field was hamstrung by the Copenhagen agreement for like...all of the 20th century.

when i had OG covid in 2020 i had wild feverish episodes for an evening and ended up laying in bed having interminable hallucinations and dream-like states, and just insane shivering to the degree it made my bed-frame rattle. 100% do not recommend, drink extra water + electrolytes, and remember that any entities you encounter in a feverish or delirious state are not to be trusted in the slightest no matter what they offer

If you didn't know by now that Joe Rogan is almost exclusively a disinformation launderer who brings on nutjob dunning Kruger faux scientists that blather on about their scientific discoveries big government doesn't want you to know about as he nods sagely about how crazy that is but it's always just junk science that was proven wrong decades ago and it's someone just trying to grift, you shouldn't be getting into ufos.

~5 years ago i was at an internet research conference and probably the world's most well-known social scientist of internet stuff said in one of the breakout rooms i was in that the relationship between male supplement advertising, reactionary political radicalization, and audio content that resisted traditional forms of moderation (e.g. harder to evaluate and take down than the well-oiled photo/video moderation systems of fb and instagram etc) would be one of the most important-to-study and socially-devastating emergent phenomena. rogan is a perfect example, as is e.g. andrew tate
