NASA would beg to differ... "Phosphorus, the least abundant of the essential elements necessary for biological processes, hadn’t been detected until now. The element is a building block for DNA, which forms chromosomes and carries genetic information, and is present in the bones of mammals, cell membranes, and ocean-dwelling plankton. Phosphorus is also a fundamental part of energy-carrying molecules present in all life on Earth. Life wouldn’t be possible without it."

I know that. I was stating my opinion.

Fascinating article here, relating to phosphorous being found on one of Saturn's moons, Enceladus. Phosphorous is a key building block of life and is located in Enceladus' subsurface oceans. Data was beamed back recently by the Cassini Mission. Here's the article from JPL: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasa-cassini-data-reveals-building-block-for-life-in-enceladus-ocean This page has a cool interactive walkthrough which describes how they first noticed the plumes of ice crystals, then identified the sub-surface oceans which likely contain liquid H20, and how confirmation was established as to the presence of phosphorous. The paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-05987-9 Once humanity truly becomes a space faring species, I believe we will find that life on other planets is the norm, not the exception. If only Nasa were allocated more than a minuscule 22 billion USD per year...which is less than 1% of the annual budget. Seen as a bright arc in this 2006 observation by Cassini, Saturn’s E ring is fed with icy particles from Enceladus’ plume, creating wispy fingers of bright material that is backlit by the Sun. The shadowed hemisphere of the moon can be seen as a dark dot inside the ring. Credit: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute ----------------------- Oops. Wrong place.

But of course, it's called context. How can you make an informed judgement about reality if you don't take into account the entire holistic context, i.e. all the events that impact on a particular topic? In my view the evidence of this incident is pretty solid. Multiple eye-witnesses, multiple video recordings of the UAP. Video footage of the creatures. Enough for me.

About halfway through this page turner. I don't know if Donny will be able to duck these charges. Trump clearly was up to no good with those secrets.

Yes, I'm serious. If you pay attention and watch the video, the creature is clearly visible. Furthermore the anatomical appearance of each creature is pretty much identical, with the same eyes and cranial structure. One is visible in Profile while the other can be seen more or less facing the camera. This can't be explained away as an artifact, in my opinion. It always seems to be the implication. Every "normie" involved in the incident is hallucinating and can't be trusted. The family who video taped the creatures - they're imagining what they saw, there's no way they could be credible witnesses or the video they took legitimate. It's the usual dismissive posture people take and have taken, for this incident and many others. I'm not referring to this particular incident as the cascade of events; rather the numerous preceding incidents such as Ariel School and Varginha, the many witnesses from the military such as David Fravor, the USS Nimitz crew, David Grusch - the whistleblower who just testified before Congress on the crash retrieval program, Ryan Graves, the F-16 pilot who talks openly about how he and other pilots saw UAPs on almost a daily basis, and many, many more examples. These incidents have established sufficient precedent and context in my view, to make the incident in Las Vegas not entirely improbable. Combined with the corroborating factors at play in this incident in Vegas, and yeah, I think this is legit.

Not if you look closely. On a 27 inch monitor the being closest to the family is highly visible sitting in the cab of the vehicle. Frankly, I don't think any video or photographic evidence is enough for some people. Even if the video were shot in broad daylight of an alien it would be explained away as CGI or some visual effects trickery. For me its the confluence of factors coming together that lends legitimacy to this event. 1. The numerous credible eye witnesses who have come forward recently, including those in government and military circles. 2. Credible documented accounts of close encounters with beings of unknown origin (BUOs) - to coin a new acronym. 3. The multiple angles from different cameras (Ring doorbell cam - officer's Bodycam), combined with the authentic footage from the family of encounter with the actual creature. This cascade of events creates in my view a probability that this is encounter actually happened as described. Right, the entire story was fabricated by a group of individuals in that town working together. The video was staged to get viral views, for money. Is that it?

Ok, I just located the complete video set, which shows the body-cam footage, the Ring doorbell cam of the unknown object crashing, and the video from the actual family as they approach the backyard to investigate what landed there. The family are clearly terrified as they approach the back gate that leads to where the vehicles are parked. The father remarks in Spanish about seeing two creatures with big eyes looking back at them. The family retreats from the gate - one family member is armed. In addition to the raw video, the youtube host filtered the video for low light to make it easier to see the alleged beings who are located about 40 feet away behind two large vehicles, which appear to be construction vehicles. If this video is not doctored or fabricated in any way, this appears to be a remarkable and genuine piece of evidence of two intelligent biological organisms of unknown origin.

Such as what? How could a large vehicle gain entry to a fenced off area in the middle of the night, the occupants exit the vehicle and walk around, and then get in their vehicle and fly away? Seems like if that were a helicopter it would be pretty obvious to the residents and their neighbors, due to the sound. Either they're lying or some craft that wasn't a helo landed in their backyard. What do you suggest the craft was?

Personally, I think they're telling the truth. Making a false police report of this nature is a crime - seems a big risk to take just for a prank. But, there needs to be more evidence.

Not to me. If a certain technology could provide a nation with unassailable militaristic dominance over all foreign adversaries, then 100% that technology would be classified at the highest levels of secrecy within the MIC. Planet Earth definitely seems like the ideal destination to drink that martini (if you can avoid the locals). Interesting.

@Moontanman Excellent article and interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJKwglRgwDM https://public.substack.com/p/us-has-12-or-more-alien-space-craft Critical mass is building...

IMO content creation jobs won't be that hard hit. Why? Generating content en masse isn't likely to translate into compelling storytelling. I can see skilled human creators becoming even more valuable than they are now, thanks to the tsunami of tripe that A.i. will inevitably unleash.

With the release of ChatGPT 4 and the development of numerous other generative A.i. platforms, the A.i (re)/(de)volution is clearly upon us. Mass unemployment is one many potential upheavals A.i. could bring. A report from the World Economic Forum in 2021 projected when A.i will take over various sectors: For me, the structural changes A.i. will bring to practically every sector of the economy demand a fundamental rethinking of how our economy is structured. In alignment with the current dialogue catalyzed by Geoffrey Hinton regarding the dangers of A.i. should be a universal discussion on what benefits A.i. must legally afford human society. Such a conversation would be akin to the great Re-Awakening that happened after WW2 in terms of universal human rights and ensuring basic standards for as many people as possible. To cut to the chase, in my view many things that we pay for in society will have to become free in order to make the shift to the brave new world awaiting us. My "free for everyone" shortlist is the following: Basic needs: food, clothing, and shelter All levels of education (as much as a person wants to learn) Transportation Entertainment Utilities such as electricity, water, internet, etc Ultimately the difference between a significantly improved society and a significantly more miserable society rests on our collective decision about what basic rights A.i. should afford each person. How do you see the economy adjusting to the seismic A.i. disruption that is set to take place? Should the social safety net be deepened and expanded, or should it be every man / woman for him/herself?

Recently I read an article in The Guardian about cancer vaccines. Do you think these vaccines are likely to be on the market available for patients within this decade?

1. The ability to travel to other solar systems and visit the planets there. To be able to actually land the spacecraft and set foot on these alien worlds. 2. The ability to end war on Earth. 3. My own garden to grow vegetables.

One "silver lining" in all this has been the integrity of the courts. So far, Republican judges have held the line, both at the state, federal, and supreme court level. When presented with blatantly frivolous or fabricated cases by Trump, Republican judges have dismissed them. Conversely, serious charges are given serious consideration, as with the numerous pending legal actions again Trump. So far Republican judges have not abandoned the law or their duty to the constitution.

They've been taken seriously for a long time, by the right people.

Stochastic terrorism - Trump's favorite tactic.

Some outlets have reported the NYPD has been requested to alter the color of their orange prisoner jumpsuits so as not to match the former President's skin tone.

Plausible but unlikely. Out of millions of intelligent civilizations we're the most scientifically and technologically advanced? Anthropocentricism.

Are they unlikely? The most recent comet impact is thought to have happened only 13,000 years ago.

Not a logical analogy.

A worthy dialogue. In my view, the questions of aliens and A.I. are crucially important because they represent potential extinction level events for mankind. A.I. could escape the pandora's box quite easily and run amok. Similarly, a highly advanced extra-terrestrial species could show up to our doorstep one day with the intent to take over the planet and annihilate our species. Instead of ridiculing those who raise these questions we should be forming concrete action plans in case they really happen, similar to NASA's NEO action plan. As the nuclear age was a catalyst for a new level of international cooperation forged to deal with the specter of nuclear war; so too should A.I. and aliens spur international cooperation with respect to these existential threats.
