"Cray crazy"?

Is that a reference to the Kray brothers?

ya know.. people may fluff over this and no.. I don't believe everything that's being said by mainstream media.. however.. Nostradamus has some pretty compelling predictions for 2026/27 plus he's been correct at least 85% of the time.. PLUS I'm worried about our future as well, just by watching what's currently happening around us in the world & economy today..

-Global warming, floods, rising waters - it's predicted several large coastal cities will cease to exsist soon enough.. currently there are islands with inhabitants that are being forced to move elsewhere because their 'homes' are underwater.. plus we've been experience hotter summers and colder winters.. a definite sign the world around us is changing, and not necessarily for the better

-the rise of AI technology being a valid threat (predition: Men will create souless minds that think faster than 1000 wise men. But the day will come when they will ask "why should we serve our creators?"..)they have no built-in morals.. which will inevitably bring the need of our very exsistance into question.. they will control EVERYthing IF we allow it to happen..

-the exsistance of Aliens finally being confirmed (predition: A significant event in November 2026 may involve humanity's first contact with extraterrestrial life, as foretold by nostradamus & other seers.) anyone who thinks we are alone in the vast universe of ours AND those beyond ours.. is totally niave..

-predition: when the bear(Russia) from the north and the dragon(China) from the east join forces, the Eagle (USA) from the west will lose 1/2 it's power (this began happening in Feb. 2022 and continues to this day)
-the 7 month great war (current war) - He also hinted at the rise of a new leader and warned against false idols in society.


so make jokes all you want folks.. if you can't see what's happening, right in front of your very eyes.. regardless of "preditions" or not.. ya need a good boot in the arse'n a slap upside da head.. IMO

Nah, cray cray is just Gen Z slang for crazy, hence the need for the modifier "batshit".

The most recent discussion surrounding "Aliens" is "How" they could travel vast interstellar distances.

I follow science to a degree & lately there is a debate underway about some new physics that seems to indicate the possibility of creating (for lack of a better term yet), a "warp bubble" that would allow for interstellar transits within reasonable time constraints - by using what's being deemed "negative energy".

Nobody knows HOW to make negative energy yet but the mathematics seems to indicate it's a real thing - and often times knowing something is possible is already more than half the battle to making it realize in ways we can utilize it.

Like all new ideas this must be tested & confirmed or disproved - but the evolution of the understanding of physics and mathematics seems to make a lot more correct guesses than wrong ones these days.
That's the beauty of the scientific method - a constant challenge to everything we THINK we know & as new science comes to light sometimes we have to revise what we thought we knew.

The Hubble Constant (rate of expansion of the universe) is another such thing scientists thought they had down pat only for new discoveries to throw a spanner into the works by finding TWO different rates of expansion.
Reconciliation is currently underway and the next thing "we know we know" will replace what we thought we knew about the rate of expansion of the universe.

Concerning the current "Aliens-are they real?" flap, it seems to center around 2 schools of thought;
1.) We "know" they exist because the gummint has concrete physical evidence & has been researching it for close to 80 years, trying to reverse-engineer both material & energy science and come to understand the mathematics & physics underlying whatever makes the reality of that physical evidence possible.

2.) We, as humans, are constantly testing cutting edge technology - usually in secrecy so we can gain a military advantage over our competition for global control of the planet.
Because, by its nature it is shrouded in secrecy, the general public and all but a select few gummint & civilian contractors know nothing about the ongoing work & its testing that exposes the products of that research on occasion.
Those rare occasional public exposures that cannot be avoided if the research is to be put into real, usable, machinery - account for the vast majority of "unexplained" but documented "proof" of aliens existing and visiting our planet.

Furthermore, the debate still rages as to whether these appearances are true "Alien" contacts precipitated by a species not of this planet & non-human - or whether these contacts are humans from our future who have somehow resolved the complexities of time-paradoxes & the time-travel that would involve.
Einstein himself had to admit that his relativity equations DO allow for the possibility of time-travel & nobody has yet disproved that assumption - thus leaving that door open as to the nature of recorded "Alien" encounters.

Beyond "Alien" excuses for the rest of this conspiracy nonsense, there is no need to ascribe to outside forces to believe unhealthily wealthy people can get up to all sorts of depravities.
In FACT recorded history is replete with accounts of the perversions, evils, & downright immorally disgusting behaviors that only the filthy rich & powerful can get away with because their wealth shields them from the negative consequences of such behaviors.

Could you or I get away with killing 600,000 children around the globe by cutting off their USAID funding?

Could you or I get away with raping 13 year old girls & boys and still get elected President of the United States?

Could you or I get away with committing multiple mass murders with gigantic bombs dropped on schools, hospitals, old folks homes, apartment buildings, & energy production utilities that strand people to freeze to death in the cold winters in Ukraine or die of thirst in the deserts of the Middle East?

No, of course not, because we couldn't afford the lawyers to litigate our way out of the bevy of charges a "normal political State justice agency" would level against us - but filthy rich people can! - do DO[/] - every single day & they get away with it because they now control 98% of the media on the planet & can scream their innocence far louder than any responsible authority can proclaim their guilt.

Never ascribe to outside forces that which can easily be explained by the depth of depravity that human beings with the proper resources have already committed in our past

I didn't read ALL that Coot, however.. I do have to say.... (maybe you wrote it here, maybe you didn't)

just cuz WE (humans on Earth) haven't figured chit out.. doesn't mean that other worldly "aliens" haven't.. they may well be much farther advanced with technology and space travel than we simple humans can fathom.. maybe they're all AI.. or maybe they've learned how to control their AI..

all I do know is.. anything is possible, and that we are definitely NOT alone..

For someone who has repeatedly disclosed to me that you carry a measurably high intelligence, you seem to spend an inordinate amount of time complaining how disinterested you are in putting the effort into learning complex subjects.

In MY experience, in order to more fully understand the complexities of the world and the people in it around me, it takes a lot of effort and persistence to read and try to comprehend things which I do not yet fully understand in sufficient detail to qualify as "knowledgeable" about those subjects.

Koans & homilies are easily stated in a sentence or two but those understandings did not come from thinking short thoughts with few words.
They are distillations of CENTURIES of deep philosophical pondering which rare unreasonably insightful human beings have spent more than a second or two contemplating.

Either you have a lust for understanding or you do not.
If you can't spend the time, maybe you shouldn't make the claim that you have it?

For me to more fully understand my wife's kidney disease and ensuing transplant health care I spent approximately 1,500 hours studying medicine and every human bodily system - just so I could track what her doctors were asking us to do (blind faith in experts in white lab coats was never my strong suit).

Reading a couple of Swedish studies on acetaminophen only to find out modern medicine's RDAs (4,000 mg. - p.i.d.) are off by a factor of 3 (the Swedes came to the conclusion that 1,400 mg. -p.i.d. should be the MAXIMUM allowable daily dosing) allowed me to not only convince her doctor to prescribe oxycodone without Tylenol but by doing the conversion off the added acetaminophen in that medicine allowed her to stop taking the little purple pill - Nexium (esomeprazole) - entirely.
No stomach upset from the Tylenol = no need for a PPI (protein pump inhibitor) to quell the queasiness induced by the excess Tylenol.

But to read those 2 studies and fully understand them as well as the testing protocols, took up the better portion of an entire day.
Or, I could have blindly accepted their findings and then tried to get my wife's lazy-azzed personal physician to study up on it instead of going water skiing and playing in his semi-garage band.
Lots of luck with THAT one.

that's only because I needed you to stop man-splaining everything I already knew so I could get a word in edgewise if you recall.. you were pretty repetative about your hi-IQ



when I need or want to know about (OR more about) a topic.. I do relentless hours of research too.. if it's not something that interests me.. I shrudge and move on.. I don't know everything.. nor do I need to.. and no.. I don't blindly accept when anyone tells me something medical that affects my person or someone I love.. I too do extensive research and I'm not afraid to discuss/challenge my findings with a medical professional as I have numerous times on prescriptions and treatments..
