|content=Respectfully. Here is what I think is going on.
I) Independent breakthrough science is in a long wind down starting with the [[Mansfield Amendment (1969)|Mansfield amendment]], and is being partially decommissioned. Why? Because it was found to be too powerful and redistributive.
II) The National Security and National Interest folks now use science, journalism,  academe etc to dump their cognitive sludge. [[Jeffrey Epstein|Epstein]] cover stories, [[UAP|UAP cover stories]], Assasination cover stories, COVID cover stories, Inflation/Money Supply cover stories, etc. That is, the organs that kept us partially free in 1975 are now used to attack our ability to think, every day of our lives.
III) Anyone not going along with I) and II) sticks out like an absolute sore thumb and is targeted for [[Image Cheapening|“Image Cheapening”]]. This is abhorrent abuse of power.
IV) @RepLuna isn’t stupid. If she can talk about Physical Law and “Interdimensional beings”, she can place a phone call or two to our physicists or differential geometers/topologists.  I’m happy to help direct her to good folks.
V) The [[UAP|UFO]] community is way too recreational. What ever is hidden behind the [[UAP]] curtain is serious business. It involved high level physics as recently as 50 years ago. Then that connection got buried. I just don’t know what this about. And I have *zero* proof it involves aliens or interdimensional beings.
VI) Adults who would never discuss the Tooth Fairy in public should not discuss alien equivalents of the Tooth Fairy. Alien life and higher dimensions are both super serious subjects to me. And they would be too you too if this wasn’t made into a cheap farce. Space opera is just dumping cognitive sludge in the middle of a central scientific question. And I don’t take kindly to it.
VII) I personally believe there are 4+6=10 =(d**2 + d)/2 for d=1+3 additional dimensions available for travel. But that would make **US**….humans….just as interdimensional as alien life. And we don’t evaluate any such ideas for our own travel. We just run out the clock listening to decades of the same 20 Octogenarians and Septuagenarians discussing how they are going to solve [[Quantum Gravity|“Quantum Gravity”]] when they grow up. And we let them destroy all competitors so they can take down the field of theoretical physics and die in piece pretending they were the [[The Only Game in Town (TOGIT)|“Only Game In Town”]]. Which is total pure unadulterated anti-scientific bullshit. Think about it.
VIII) Nobody but nobody is this dumb. Not even the government on its worst day. This is national security cognitive sludge being dumped into science. We are 40+ years into a string theory fairy tale about [[Quantum Gravity|“Quantum Gravity”]] without asking “Is this all bullshit?”
IX) Science needs to be in a dialogue with NatSec. And it needs to tell them to play nice and cut it out or we use our vast tools to figure out what is going on because this COVID level bullshit is too dumb to be believed. We are just one or two rogue billionaires away from being able to immunize our scientists from USG cutting off all funds and destroying their reputations. Breakaway science in the public interest. It can take as few as one personal fortune in the service of science to cure this. Just one. This whole post-WWII
system of journals, peer review, grants, gatekeepers etc in fields like physics, economics and math is entirely vulnerable. We need to own
X) Lying about COVID and UAP is a modified NIMBY issue for all scientists: Not in our back yard(s). I’m just tired of scientists and technical folks being fed cognitive sludge by NatSec and national interest types we can’t see. Interdimensional or otherwise.

|content=I’m a big fan of yours.
But isn’t it a little much to expect a politician to not speak plainly on a podcast but use “scientifically precise” terms?
Regarding the propaganda element of all this, here’s what I believe. The level of discourse recently about UAP’s and potential alien activity is refreshing whether or not it’s murky.
The fact that we have Government officials going on record to validate that SOMETHING is out there is progress.
Compared to a decade ago where people were demonized and destroyed for even speaking out about this, I see progress.
Respectfully. 🙏🏽
