People, we have got to talk about framing and cognitive biases (again). If you lead with the frame you are trying to debunk, you strengthen that frame.

I feel each of my guests who I talked with earlier this year were equally wonderful to speak with, and I've learned a lot from each of them over the years. I wanted to highlight Erica's interview though, for how incisive her answers were, especially regarding ufo b.s. I truly feel honored.🙏

While Avi Loeb gets attention from groups ranging from critical peers to credulous UFO buffs & even potential donors, don't overlook the IC. In early 2024, EFR shared heavily redacted FBI records on Galileo Project. They always follow the money. www.expandingfrontiersresearch.org/post/foia-re...

Why are planetary scientists, astrobiologists and and SETI scientists so negative (pissed off, even) about Avi Loeb’s repeated claims that 3I/Atlas may be an invading alien spaceship?

In defying Ford's request, Sen. Church said "the national interest is better served by letting the American people know the true and complete story."

Publication of the report in 1975 effectively outlawed targeted assassinations of foreign leaders as a policy instrument for 50 years.

Astrophysicist Mario Livio says there are an estimated 100-200 billion galaxies in the known observable universe, per Space dot com.
This is part of our universe.

An area of sky about the size of a grain of sand held at arm's length.

The spiked features are stars in the Milky Way.

If you submitted a completed quote form to NARA for records responsive to a #FOIA request prior to the shutdown but have not yet received the material, you might choose to follow up. We gave them a friendly reminder yesterday & were provided the records today.
