@AlchemyAmerican Well - let me ask you this - how would you change your mind on this topic, given the mounting evidence - if you were Tyson?

@AlchemyAmerican I think it may be the mandala effect but not many of us have forgotten the version where Neil made us all feel like we had three heads whenever we mentioned extraterrestrials. 👽

@Kekius_Sage We have lived many times my friend. We have been alive more than we have been dead. We have been in bodies more than we have been without them.

You have already been dead for far longer than you have ever been alive. For 13.8 billion years before you existed, the universe existed in perfect peace without you. No one was waiting. No one was missing you. No one felt your absence. That void didn't even exist, because you were never a prescheduled piece of the puzzle.

@rand_longevity Yup. For so many people that is so true. It’s interesting though how many podcasters don’t find this to be a good thing. They think people will lose meaning. This point is always made by a small minority who love what they do for work. They forget the millions who hate their jobs

On Monday I used the most extreme form of my protocol yet, and subsequently went further beyond the construct of spacetime than ever before. Words are insufficient to fully depict what I saw, experienced, and knew, and coming back was more discombobulating than ever. I may make a video—or a series of videos—to start unpacking it. The first thing I’ll leave you with is that there are overseer intelligences so far beyond this low-fi, linear reality that our world begins to resemble the earliest 1970s-era computer graphics and computational logic by comparison. #consciousness

A note to my former colleagues in the media booking Neil deGrasse Tyson this week: He is the loudest, most high-profile dismisser of people who report alien encounters. He has spent years mocking them. And now he's selling a book about alien encounters. Ask him about that.

It’s still just concepts that we are attributing to what reality is. Whether it’s ‘code’ or biological or divine or whatever it is. It’s just words trying to describe the experience. It doesn’t matter what it is. What matters is whether it feels real or not. If it feels real and it’s code it still feels real.

🚨 What If Your Entire Life… Is Just Code? In 2003, philosopher Nick Bostrom published a paper with a question so unsettling that it still echoes through science and philosophy today: What if our entire universe is actually a computer simulation? At first it sounds like science fiction. But the idea is surprisingly logical when you think about the direction technology is heading. Look at how far we have already come. Just a few decades ago, computers could barely display simple graphics. Today, video games create entire worlds filled with cities, forests, weather, and characters that react to our actions. Virtual reality can make our brains feel as if we are standing somewhere else entirely. Now imagine technology thousands—or even millions—of years in the future. A civilization that advanced might possess computers powerful enough to simulate entire planets… entire histories… even entire universes. Inside those simulations could exist conscious beings who believe their world is real. Beings just like us. Bostrom suggested something called “ancestor simulations.” The idea is simple but chilling. Advanced civilizations might run simulations of their past to study history or understand how their species evolved. These simulations would contain billions of simulated people living normal lives, completely unaware that their reality is artificial. If a single advanced civilization created thousands or millions of such simulations, then the number of simulated minds would become vastly greater than the number of real biological minds. And this leads to a disturbing possibility. Statistically speaking, a randomly existing mind would be far more likely to be inside a simulation than in the original reality. In other words… the odds might not be in our favor. Think about your daily life for a moment. The sky above you, the ground beneath your feet, every star in the night sky, every memory you have ever experienced—what if all of it is simply information being processed somewhere else? What if reality itself is being rendered like a giant cosmic video game? Some scientists have even wondered whether strange features of the universe could hint at something deeper. Why do the laws of physics follow precise mathematical rules? Why does the universe appear almost perfectly tuned for life? And why does space and time seem to have limits at the smallest measurable scales? To some thinkers, these questions sound eerily similar to the rules of a programmed system. Of course, none of this proves we live inside a simulation. Many scientists remain skeptical, arguing that simulating an entire universe would require unimaginable amounts of energy and computing power. Others point out that the idea may be impossible to test. But the mystery remains. If advanced civilizations somewhere in the cosmos eventually develop the ability to simulate conscious beings—and if they choose to run these simulations—then billions or trillions of simulated worlds could exist. And in a universe filled with simulations, the most unsettling question of all appears: How do we know ours is the original one? Right now, you are reading these words, feeling the world around you, believing this moment is real. But somewhere, far beyond our understanding, there might be a machine quietly running the code of an entire universe… including you.

@KaiXCreator You can be the founder. Instigator. But not creator. You ‘find’ a specific version of reality and explore it through prompts.

We live in a very dualistic world. It’s as if the government has been left behind in another era and we have moved forward. Or that it is in another parallel reality not quite in synch with us. But who knows maybe the secret they are holding on to could produce ontological shock. I just think they can’t be so oblivious to the state of our minds. That most of us already believe we are not alone and we have never been. I guess they are treating us like children trying to hide the fact that Santa and the tooth fairy are lot real. Not sure what’s up.

To be clear… @RepLuna just told me… “The new director of AARO is actually fully complying with us now and working at the direction of the White House. We are in process of reviewing part of the videos set to be released next. Have not asked for any audits but can confirm that the 40+ videos will be released.” THIS IS WHAT’S UP. YOU DONE BEEN TOLD 🫡🛸 LFG @G_Knapp!!! 🥷
