The biolarp is pretty well done but does have bullshit in there. The "junk DNA" thing is a huge red flag, as we know now that those non-coding sequences are crucial for biological function. The other red flag is the lack of an anus: deuterostomy is such a hard-coded, early embryonic development that we can use it to class organisms on earth, and it evolved before notochords and brains did. One way digestion is much more efficient than two way, and I straight up don't buy the "engineered organism" explanation for that.

Dude needs to post dat genome FASTA file.

It has long been known that some noncoding DNA has important functions. (This was known even before the phrase "junk DNA" was coined.) However, there is good evidence that much DNA has no function:

Sections of DNA can be cut out or replaced with randomized sequences with no apparent effect on the organism (Nóbrega et al. 2004).

Some sections of DNA are corrupted copies of functional coding DNA, but mutations in them, such as stop codons early in the sequence, show that they cannot have retained the same function as the coding copy.

The fugu fish has a genome that is about one third as large as its close relatives.

Mutations in functional regions of DNA show evidence of selection -- nonsilent changes occur less often that one would expect by chance. In other sections of DNA, there is no evidence that any changes are selected against.

I'm watching his interview now and I'm going in extremely skeptical for several reasons right off the bat

1. greer association
2. story is about secret human trafficking, perfect synergy with contemporary rightwing conspiracy bugaboos
3. story implies humans are flying reverse engineered ufos, even if you buy the upcoming revelations that's still a hell of a stretch
4. ex military guy reveals the secrets of cosmic disclosure has been a cottage industry for Gaia TV / corey goode / david wilcock types for a decade, tried and true formula, all the more suspect with greer involved

speaking of which while cleaning out my closet i found a sealed bag with ~5 grams of magic mushrooms, but they've got to be four years old at this point, they're probably pretty weak now so maybe i should just eat them all at once?

i have some followup questions for the "whatever" i talked with the last time i tripped balls

Was it...you know, was it actually your son? Did he look like him/act like him/talk like him? Or did you just see a generic "son" figure?

'Cause that's f'n wild

Not quite similar but at one point I had a psychedelic experience where I thought I was dead and I was choosing my next incarnation. I chose to be reincarnated in one of my cousins family because he's someone I really appreciate and I thought they would be a great family to grow into. Then the experience ended and I woke up.

A few days later he sent me an email to announce his second son was born and had a name quite close to mine. I had not seen him for a long time and had no idea his wife was expecting.

Not as personal and disturbing as your experience, but I found it funny and strange.

It also happened when I was getting very deep into the idea that we all are the same consciousness field incarnating into different bodies, so of course it kind of reinforced that belief a bit.

I can't tell if he was trying to say "aliens are harming humans" or "gov is harming humans" here?

Another possibility is that he trotted out all the big famous stories because they were actually real, and that's why they became famous in the first place.

lawfare dropped an hourlong interview with Shane Harris, its UFO want-to-believe but also extremely well-connected and respected hard national security journalist, who I bet dollars
to donuts was who LK and RB were working with on the piece that went to the Debrief. he had interviewed LK on his podcast earlier in the year. so color the comments with all of that in mind

well i might describe him as ufo adjacent in that: in his podcasting hosting work, he is clearly an aliens/et i-want-to-believe-er, and he has sympathetically interviewed leslie kean. but he's incredibly disciplined and rigorous in his reporting (and incredibly well-connected), and i think the story he tells in this podcast is extremely compelling and digestible.

i think people in this thread will also appreciate some of the subtle digs and distinctions he makes in this podcast, too — i.e. it's notable he calls grusch "dave" (unlike "graves" or "fravor,"), and says "i've interviewed dave for many hours" which is why i think he was the unnamed collaborator on the post story that LK/RB bailed on, and could also explain, if you are so oriented, why he seems clearly frustrated by grusch (though he also calls him a serious professional with impeccable credentials).

its good eatin is what i'm saying
