Ross Coulthart became crap the same time he started pumping out weekly content. Though I see that as a symptom of the cause rather than the cause itself.

It should be a basic guiding principle, anyone who makes more than one video or podcast a month isn't worth watching.

I guess if you have to pump out a youtube every single day, watching a rock slowly move around the sun can fill quite a lot of that.

The endless content is basically "if it does an abnormal thing in the next few weeks, it would indicate it is artificial"
Atlas 3i proceeds to move normally around the sun.

On a related point, I had to crimp on some RJ45 connectors this morning and I challenge anyone to name a worse standard in common use.
This isn't in the slightest bit interesting, but I'm waiting for someone to turn cloudflare off and on again.

I'm more interested in Moment of Contact V2, James Fox understands documentary making, telling the story and engaging the audience.
I fear AoD might be too dry a watch, and whatever it has to say will be retold everywhere this weekend.

^^^ very little going on.
Anyway, books are still good, go do some historical reading.
Anyone want to start a UFO book club on youtube? I'd watch the hell out of that.

But in general, those that have been a platform based on hype for "imminent diclosure" with the pressure for constant content have run out of steam. There's very actually going on.

Even Weaponised this month, I'd rather hear someone else explain if James Lacatski said anything new than listen to him because it's a slog.
Two hours of "I can't speak to that" with possibly one significant hint of something new if you can stay awake.

I don't think I've watched anything UFO related on Youtube in November so far, when I look at what's new in my subs It usually makes me groan.

The Daily Mail has quite a reputation, but the photo editor finding pictures to illustrate "Hitler had Kallmann Syndrome" obviously deserves a promotion.

Otter's doing a great job, it's trying to explain to the human they should use a ring spanner.

TBF, that might be a meaningless comparison. but I've always been interested in Teller's SDI research which we know little about. Without nuke testing it's remained in limbo, but it would be reasonable to believe the theoretical science has greatly moved on since the last practical experiment.

Sometime around 1985 there's another crisis and the A-bomb is fast tracked for completion.
With the resources of the federal Government and 40+ years of civil nuclear research, how long would it have taken to produce a working bomb using 1980's technology from scratch?

40 years represents a huge difference in potential.
Imagine an alt history where Japan surrounded in 1944 and the Manhattan project had been defunded and shut down.

They appear politically more useful than militarily compared to what they have. The steady and long term ramp up in warheads and missiles inside China is the issue of concern to the generals looking ahead.

First laser, 1960. First X-ray laser, 1972. Teller's Project Excalibur began in the early 80s.
There's 40+ years of classified R&D waiting to be put in a science package next to an underground nuke.
