he takes a couple pages to explain why he know that sightings of UFOs aren’t alien because he can simply infer how superintelligent beings will operate + how advanced their technology is. he then undercuts his point by saying that he’s very uncertain about both of those things, but wraps it up nicely with an excessively wordy speech about how making big bets on your beliefs is the responsible way to be a thought leader. bravo

    Did Yud pay for Twitter, or is he blue-checked for some other reason?

      Both! He was verified before, but you have to pay for long-form posting. Which he really shouldn’t given how much dumber, rambling and incoherent his long form posting reveals him to be.
