And then the whole thing just kind of breaks.

E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
And the way it often breaks is the anomalies.
Know Thyself
E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
So the anomalies sort of build up, the anomalies don't work within the model.
Know Thyself
E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
So they're empirical observations that don't make sense within the given framework.
Know Thyself
E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
And those sort of build up, they accumulate, and then the dam just sort of breaks.

And so I think if you kind of are systematically at the forefront of those three things,
Know Thyself
E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
I think there's something to all of them, but you don't have to think there's something to all of them.

E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
You could think they're all 50% likely to be true or whatever.

E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
And then in aggregate, you end up with a much higher probability that we're on the verge of some sort of paradigm shift.

E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
Yeah, so I'll give you the modern history of UFOs because you can go way back to, you know, Sanskrit epics talking about Vimanas or, you know, yeah, various wonders in the sky that, you know, Dogon tribe.

It's amazing, right?

So, you know, the star system before, you know, regular astronomy did.
Know Thyself
E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
And so, yeah, you have all these kind of, you know, ancient civilizational kind of, you know, possible pieces of evidence.

You have, you know, the wheels of Ezekiel and the Bible, of course.
Know Thyself
E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
You know, so there's a lot of example in antiquity around this stuff.
Know Thyself
E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
But I'd say the modern history, you could kind of date back to Roswell and the start of, like, the American intelligence agencies.
Know Thyself
E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
And so that history would go something like basically the advent of the nuclear age.
