Because there was so much data from spacecraft looking at the Earth, moving around the Sun, that it was foolish to argue otherwise.

So the Vatican admitted that they were wrong.

So we want to get to that point where everyone would agree

that we are being you know if indeed we are visited by some alien technology there would be conclusive evidence beyond any doubt and how do you get to that point by collecting more data so that it would be foolish to argue otherwise so that is the path forward it's not by arguing on social media and saying we already believe in that that's not that's not convincing okay to most people the way to convince everyone is by having absolutely

uh no doubt uh in uh conclusive data now it's possible the us government has some and it's not being it's compartmentalized and it's not being shared even with the president you know that these are possibilities but we need to get to a point where the data the evidence will be clear beyond any doubt and even if it was compartmentalized

that doesn't preclude us from getting more data of higher quality so that we will flood the community with so much information and data that it would be irrelevant what was hidden from view before.

Last night, I had a Q&A on YouTube for two hours, people asking me, and the last question had to do with...

what should we do if we realize the government lied to us and we are being visited by aliens?

And I said, look, if we find that we're being visited by aliens, the last thing we should do is focus on who to punish, which bureaucrat didn't do their job and put them in the town center and hang them or do something.

This is the most

wasteful action that is completely irrelevant because once we discover we have to think about the future.

There are so many things.

It will impact the future of humanity in such a fundamental way.

Why would we

focus on toxicity hating other people you know punishing them for not doing that's completely irrelevant all of this is completely dwarfed by the discovery and it will bring us to a completely new future so let's the way i phrase it is very simply let's keep our eyes on the orbs

not on the audience.

And it's a paraphrase of what basketball players say, let's keep our eyes on the ball, not on the... So the issue is not what did some people do under some circumstances that prevented us from seeing it before and so forth.

That's completely irrelevant.

If we realize this fact, then the next question is how to adapt to it.

What is the action plan?
