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

    The intersection of UFO nuts and rats should be glorious. The fact that Yud takes this seriously instead of just ignoring this idiot is proof that SF brainworms are the foundation for this community’s worldview.
