Lue Elizondo was asked, “Did NHI have any involvement in the evolutionary history of life?” I find it profoundly annoying when anyone preemptively says, “If information ever emerges that non-human intelligences influenced human evolution, it’s a lie designed to challenge religion.” This would be equivalent to me saying, “If information ever emerges that proves God is real, it’s a lie designed to get people to become religious.” When preserving your worldview becomes more important than facts or truth, you've lost me entirely. And you will never persuade me of your beliefs. Intellectual integrity requires being open to the possibility that we’re wrong, and being willing to change or modify our worldview accordingly.

Jeremy Corbell was told by an intelligence agency that there is a credible hit on his life “I was told by an agency, they brought a sincere, credible and urgent threat to my life, to me.”

Japan has built a $2,500 cardboard drone. It actually flies fast while avoiding radar! At first, the military thought it was a joke. A plane made of… cardboard? Yet, this drone can travel nearly 80 km at over 100 km/h. And the craziest thing is that its material becomes an advantage. Cardboard reflects radar waves less than some conventional materials. As a result, it's harder to detect in the sky. Japan can even transport hundreds of them in a single container and assemble them in minutes. While some countries are building drones costing millions, they're focusing on machines that are practically disposable. Perhaps this is the new technological warfare: Simple, ultra-fast weapons… produced like Amazon packages. Subscribe to discover incredible human advancements in five minutes a day.

Ancestors did not manage ADHD, depression and anxiety without meds; they suffered all that morbidity, crushing distress and dysfunction just had to tolerate. I see it every day in my patients & families carrying generations of untreated pain through alcohol, asylums and early graves until meds finally gave them some peace. Treatment is not weakness. It is progress.

If you’re seeing this shared, it’s because it’s the one thing you should absolutely read today. It’s a little long and it may seem a bit academic, but it explains so much about all the crap we’re dealing with in the social imaginary.

What We Do in the Shadows (2014) is genuinely one of my favorite comedies but finding out they hired a friend to be IT on the set and tricked him into being the main character with no idea right up until the dude saw himself on a poster at Sundance is diabolical.
