Yet I've got some ideal forms right here in my hands"

Plato was a big dude, a wrestler. the name �Plato� is a nickname which translates to �wide boy�

plato never in his own works articulates a proper theory of forms so much as he just nods and gestures super sincerely while discussing forms—“so like the Idea of a thing precedes and is more perfect than the thing, ok, so”—'hence to the twisty braid of interpretations that usually make less sense then any given work of plato does on reading

I had a dream about Birds and their distaste for Home Owner�s associations last night. basically the Birds were able to inhabit multiple bodies at once (12 bodies being a soft limit) and were trying to integrate some of their human bodies into human society. They came up against the local HoA at a certain point and were very loud about how much they despised the concept.

Also the lore of dune played a major role.

This is cool as heck. I have no doubt that my Birds also hate the concept of HoAs, lmao

You're both exactly right. I have been realizing and accepting truths exactly like this since sleeping on things. I am just in a very difficult part of the path I've chosen. I will keep going. Thank you for reaffirming that.

It's interesting that the aliens seem fascinated with our nuclear development at a time when we're largely pivoting away from nuclear power, at least in the US. I could see how an outside group might look at nuclear power/weaponry as a hub of our progress as a civilization, but as a culture we don't really focus on our nuclear capabilities much.

As a culture we don't perhaps, but our militaries and higher levels of government are still quite obsessed with nuclear capability, even after the cold war. Maybe especially after that, with all the "non-proliferation" efforts and such.

The weapons still fill the deterrence role that maintains the whole global order and have the potential to wipe out life on earth (big deal), but we probably won't even build another nuclear power plant in the US after the Vogtle boondoggle, and the existing ones are hardly hubs of population centers and development anyway. What I'm saying is that an outside observer might think nuclear power represents more to us than it really does. The same could be said of our space program too, really. The tools that could best propel us to the next level of development as a species just aren't that important to us.

quote:

I was therefore pleased when I stumbled upon a rare interview with General Alexejev in which he provides startling additional details on Soviet efforts at UFO-baiting.

This interest specifically expressed itself in certain experts being sent to investigate, especially to those places where UFOs, let�s call them that, appeared quite frequently.

I know a whole number of military bases in that category. As a rule they are objects of strategic significance, rocket complexes, scientific test establishments, in other words the places where there is a high concentration of advanced science and, to some degree, danger. Because every nuclear rocket, every new airforce installation represents a breakthrough both in science and in military terms; it is first and foremost a peak, the summit of human achievement. And that is where UFOs appeared fairly often.

Moreover, individual officers and commanders on the spot who knew about the phenomenon and had no official instructions on the matter, acted on their own initiative to investigate UFOs, recording data, and so on. I know that in some places they even learned to create a situation which would deliberately provoke the appearance of a UFO. A UFO would appear where there was increased military activity connected, say, with the transportation of �special� loads. It was enough [to artificially simulate]* or schedule such a move for a UFO to appear.

In other words, some kind of conditional relationship emerged. And they detected it. We�re an intelligent nation, nothing escapes us. I know that at certain testing ranges � I won�t name them, although it�s no longer a secret � they even learnt to make contact of a kind.

What did that consist of? First the UFO appeared; in most instances it was a sphere, but there were other kinds. Contact was achieved with the help of physical indications of behaviour � pointing your arms in various directions, say, and the sphere became flattened in the same direction. If you raised your arms three times, the UFO flattened out in a vertical direction three times as well.

In the early 1980s, on the instructions of the then Soviet leadership, experiments using technical devices (theodolites, radar stations, and others) were carried out as a result of which the unidentified objects were firmly recorded as instrumental data.

Couldn't you just like....put a gigantic cardboard box over top a nuclear site and do a bunch of nuclear things until an alien shows up and knocks over the gigantic stick? The box would need to be massive, like the size of a sports arena but also be sturdy enough to be tilted up at a 30 degree angle and to collapse down from that angle. The stick would need to be strong enough to hold up this box but light enough to pull it out of the way with a bunch of tanks or whatever.

Kind of lazy UFO community. Just need a few billion to make their own nuclear test site and bribe the right red state officials to zone it out there and to commission a gigantic box and fashion the materials for it that likely don't exist. I hear job creation.

There's been persistent rumors that they've shot down multiple UFOs doing essentially this, but instead of a box they used a shitload of missiles.
