And so going back to your question, because I want to answer it, you know, it's like watching the, you know, the movie Arrival, which is based off of that Ted Chiang, you know, sci-fi story where it's like,

Time and these like cephalopods or whatever that like... And like time is a weapon.

And like, you know, the ability to communicate with that thing is going to be so primitive for us.

And they're going to be having to like...

understand our primitives and, like, adhere their language to us.

So you hear of all these abduction cases, like John Mack, who was the head of the Harvard psychiatry department in the 90s, started to systematically study alien abductions.

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.

Like it's like Descartes' demon, where it's like they have control over your sort of senses and your whole sensory apparatus.

And that's a very weird place to go, you know?

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

is the true architecture of what's happening.

And you can say there are classic motifs people do see.

These gray alien beings do seem to show up consistently.

These sort of perfectly chiseled Nordics seem to show up, which is really strange, right?

The reptilian thing, actually, there's some evidence out there that people experience abductions with these sorts of beings.

But, I mean, I think you're in really weird territory if you start to claim that, like, we know that these beings come from this discrete race from the star system.

I think you need a lot of evidence for that, and I don't think we have it.

So, like, all I can say is, like...
