Or chloromidians? Was there any mention of chlorine on it?

In the absence of chlorine, would flouromidians form? Would flouromidian-based life have any unusual properties?

Or whatever it is that tricorders detect?

Or souls? Did it make a detour through our solar system to pick up a few souls for later use?

Never would have believed it was a fake.

Maybe they're looking for the heat signature of crypto mining.

People are already being entertained buy the unending revelations from the Epstein files.

And shocked, though not particularly awed.

Interestingly, in one of the Gnostic Gospels, Jesus is quoted as saying when he departed that he had to go visit "sheep of other folds, that you know not of".

(paraphrasing from memory)

We are all artificial intelligences. What we produce is based on our experiences. There are those that argue that AI programs have no soul or divine spark, but in all probability they are not that different to us. The difference probably lies in how our training data was curated. We have had lifetimes of slowly learning what is 'moral behaviour' from those that surround us. The AI lawyer that makes up references is not 'lying' as such; it just produces the answers it thinks you want to see.

Some Pentagon people would love to use an AI program. It looks smart. It will tell you to attack if that's what you want to hear. It can be blamed if that was the wrong advice. The solution is to rule that the AI program in law is not treated as an intelligence. Those who ask it questions and who act on its output should be held responsible for any consequences. This would seem to be the direction we are going.

Blaming the user does not exonerate the AI system. There is probably some duty on the developers to prevent the system causing harm, but that is harder to codify.

One day we will have to deal with the attitude that AI is not 'like real people' and 'should have no rights'. That has an unpleasant but familiar feel to it.

Most of it is aliens flying around in stealth spaceships. We can't spot them, except that they haven't figured out a way to hide their mass.

So galaxies with more DM are more technologically developed than the others. In this all-DM galaxy they must have used up almost everything else to build ships.

No, it's just some of that "darkness on the face of the deep" left over from Creation.

God didn't need all of that "waste and void" to shape into what He wanted for our universe, so He left bits of it in its natural form here and there.

Some of us think basing our beliefs on evidence is a good thing.

Unlike tradition and revelation, where new evidence is something to be ignored or explained away.

Because they don't want to.

Perhaps all their imagination is all used up on other things, like people who suffer the ill effects of 5G from nearby cell towers that haven't even been activated.

We must be amid a major feline extinction event.

Same thing happened when Bush's Big Iraqi Adventure went pear-shaped.

Undoubtedly they're now working on a War Prize for him.

I just saw an article that said there have already been about 100 complaints filed by NCOs whose commanding officers told them in meetings that the war was to set things up for Jebus to come back.

Oh, I say something nice about him: he got us out of Afghanistan.

Unfortunately I can't think of anything else.
