And so you get this idea of like,

If you give, you know, a rat like an irregular drip of a thing, they're more likely to become like rabidly chasing the drip than they are if it's like this irregular thing.

And that's how Jacques Vallée discusses the phenomena.

You're like, you're always chasing this thing that you never quite grasp.

And it's almost like this control system, which is using these intermittent reinforcement techniques and synchronicities, which we now know synchronicities do create dopamine, which leads you through life in this specific way that maybe you were supposed to lead or whatever.

And so, again, it brings this whole new cut on the UFO story, which I do think becomes...

a little more personable and actionable than like, you know, crafts that, you know, have anti-gravity or whatever.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's a great question.

I mean, the outer limits thing is interesting.

And sometimes I wonder, I mean, if this is all shadow play, if you take the Don Hoffman thing at face value, which I'm not saying that's necessarily true, but say it is.

And so you have some sort of higher platonic reality and like a lower reality.

in that kind of worldview, you'd have like guardians, which are, you're seeing this sort of, you know, the shadows on the wall.

You're seeing the simulacra of the objects.

You're not seeing the objects themselves.

And then you get into this thing where,

you have these memes in your head.

And how do you gain a meme library?

How does that occur?

And are those meme libraries just based on organic things that you're seeing in reality through life?
