E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
And you hear about all these abductions, and I think you can't take them at face value.

I think the only thing you can take seriously, you look for patterns, of course, but you almost have to say, like,

whatever's going on has this like 360 daemonic control.

And that's a very weird place to go, you know?
Know Thyself
E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
But I think it kind of, it leads you there, at least in that moment in time where a person's experiencing a thing like that, or they experience an abduction, who knows whether what they're seeing
