Yes, when it comes to this story I intuitively can't decide whether it's "too weird to be true" or "so weird it must be true"! It's just so outlandish.

Good for your daughter. That's excellent. And I'm sure it happens for others, too.

I hope you do.

I think that Bob Lazar is a (probably semi-unwitting) disinfo agent. It's clear that Lazar's a flamboyant personality (jet engine car, brings multiple dates to public events, et c) with a big mouth. He's exactly the kind of person who'd be terrible at keeping secrets and might also fill in any...

Kevin Randle has always seemed like a very solid researcher to me, and very diligent about following up on extremely minute details. You can read some of his latest work at his blog; it's one of a few worth keeping up with. Randle's work makes me keep an open mind about the possibilities of the...

A young friend of mine was recently told by a recruiter that, after the experience of serving in the armed forces, she can expect to start out making $60 per hour in the private sector right away. She believed it. My friends who are military vets were pretty amused by that one.

Yes. I thought we were all supposed to be becoming more and more visually sophisticated, but the fact that videos like this get any serious attention at all makes me wonder. Hollywood is spending entirely too much money on special effects if people are willing to believe stuff like this.

He's written about the kid in some of his older journal entries. I don't recall the peeing alien story. Supposedly he knew the visitors have read his books because his publisher ran into some in a bookstore, all bundled up in hats and scarves, talking about everything he'd gotten wrong. I think...

That sounds like a remarkably human response.

The Obama discussion is a can of worms that I probably shouldn't approach, but I feel the need to speak my mind. Our political system is beyond corrupt, bought and sold to corporate fascists in 1963, if not before. Our national "debates" are false dialectics controlled by a corporate media. All...

Indeed! Also, one can have an extremely high IQ and at the same time be utterly lacking when it comes to insight. I think Hawking may be like this...

My understanding (gleaned from whoknowswhere) is that it's not necessarily the size of the brain-meat, it's the number of active connections between the neurons. A big brain offers more potential room for circuitry, but it doesn't mean anything's necessarily connected. I may be using the words...

When you said "robot," I assumed you meant "earth robot." And I didn't realize there was so much going on robotics-wise. Interesting.

Wouldn't it be difficult to make robots that skinny? I found the security tape footage strange but unconvincing. It looks like there was something wrong with the tape. The South American footage is more compelling, but the "creature" in it walks with a sort of Shaggy-like slouch that reminds...

If the document is genuine, there's only one motive for AIG to create it: to beg for more money from the federal government. It's natural that such a document would suggest that the economic health of the whole world depends on AIG getting more bailout money. And they may even be right; I'm...

Hmm. This sounds a lot like World of Warcraft.

Bassett always reminds me of Tom Cruise in this video. I actually found the "George H.W. Bush was going to disclose in his second term" theory potentially plausible. Intelligence types would have to worry less about being scapegoated, both as individuals and as a profession, if one of their own...

L. O. L. I have no experience with this, but I'll take your word for it.

The only advantage I can think of would be psychological. I have heard of armies projecting religious imagery (such as the Virgin Mary) onto fog as part of psy-ops. (I think this was during World War I, though I forget where I read about it.) Having a big, silent, well-camouflaged screen in the...

I knew nothing about this, and it's exactly the kind of stuff I really get into. Thank you.
