Some speculate the dark side is aliens created us. If true, of all the religions, I believe Buddhists will have the least problem with this since Buddhism accepts any and all forms of sentience no matter how it arises. Full video here. ABN
UPDATE: My partner strongly believes this is just the next episode in the ongoing world-conquering psyop. I believe that is a very credible interpretation, but also believe it is possible aliens created us and even more possible they are here and also possible they are in control. If they are in control, I wonder why they seem to be doing such a bad job. Yes, it could be worse, but it could also be better, especially if you are a sentient being more intelligent than us and far more advanced technologically. If they are not in control, why not?
To my partner, I made the point that this revelation is significant because Carlson is saying it, to which she replied he is obviously in on it too. In response, I said whatever happens there will always be people working the psyop, vying for money and power; the key point is this is coming from a prominent person now.
I do enjoy this topic and the many avenues of speculation it offers. Like many others, I have had significant experiences involving what I believe were aliens.
An important objection to aliens-are-here is it looks staged, looks HoWo, looks too scripted or cartoony. My response to this is sentient life itself clearly has a very large dramatic component.
That is to say, drama very clearly inheres in sentience itself on our plane of awareness. I do not believe sentience is a mere material function, a material abstract nothingness with an ersatz appearance of self-awareness. Thus, if a new layer of the human drama is being revealed, it cannot but appear dramatic; and that means we will tend to view it through the lens of the dramas we know best. ABN
