China is on the far side of the moon, potentially mining helium-3, and the U.S. doesn't know the extent of their activities due to a lack of monitoring infrastructure. Helium-3 could power the globe for thousands of years and is crucial for cooling quantum computers. If China masters quantum computing first, they could break all encryption and dominate the information market. The speaker believes a superior strategy trumps better technology and that China is building a space strategy focused on logistics and infrastructure, while the U.S. is focused on building better satellites. Understanding China's cultural mindset is crucial to avoid being victimized. The speaker asserts that truth and free will are essential, but truth is being manipulated in the information domain. The speaker believes President Trump understood the importance of space and created the Space Force. If China can cool their quantum computers with helium three before the U.S. can, "the jig is up."

They want us to leave, and maybe the world would be better off if we did. Our enemies are always finding new ways to harm us, and so are we.

Speaker 0: Today we're gonna talk about the whole UFO alien thing. You see that right there? You see the German flying saucer right there? Let me read this to you. This book is a guide to the German flying discs. Yes. The flying saucers were created during World War two, in case you didn't be aware. And also, there has been no proof that there's ever been any aliens. Nope alien crashes by anyone except for inside and outside of the government. Same with Roswell. That's after they took the technology from the Germans. No alien bodies have ever been found. No culture. No alien technology has ever been uncovered by anyone except for the government. And here's Victor Schauberger's work in Austrian who worked for Germany, who created the first flying saucer right there made out of copper, and it was taken by the US military. And it's funny because even the Italians knew. Right? Old story says Italian about the flying saucers. German flying saucers. And here's just another one. German. And then the Soviets, after they got the technology, they started saying they have saucers, but it was a reality, just the Germans. So once The US Military got ahold of the technology, then they started publishing all the stuff in the tiny hat newspapers. And then next, they're gonna say there's an alien invasion. You get it?

A new investigation has revealed that the Epstein files show Epstein alongside powerful people like Bill Gates may have masterminded the COVID pandemic years before the pandemic hit, that they were planning, preparing, they were in ways that would give them more control, more money, more authority with almost no accountability that they would gain, they would be able to to to crush a dissent. They would be able to utilize emergency power in a way that never went away, and that this wasn't done in order to prepare for, oh, no. What if something happens? People may say, well, you know, it's always good to prepare for, you know, a disaster or something along those lines, but the new investigation and the Epstein files show that this wasn't about preparedness. This was about con that it wasn't, we'll have these plans in place just in case. It was, we'll have these plans in place so that at the opportune moment, we can trigger the trigger them and gain all of this power and control over not only the American people, but the world.

The speaker discusses “the whole ufo alien thing,” referencing a “German flying saucer” and a book described as “a guide to the german flying discs.” They state that flying saucers were created during World War II, and claim that there has been no proof of aliens or alien crashes except “inside and outside of the government.” They say the same narrative applies to Roswell, stating it occurred after the technology was taken from the Germans. They further assert that “no alien bodies have ever been found” and that “no culture, no alien technology has ever been uncovered by anyone except for the government.” The speaker highlights Victor Schauberger, an Austrian who “worked for Germany,” saying he “created the first flying saucer,” which they describe as “made out of copper,” and that it was “taken by the U.S. military.” They add that “even the Italians knew,” referencing an “old story” about flying saucers. They also mention additional German examples, then claim that after the Soviets obtained the technology, they began saying they had saucers. The speaker says that once the U.S. military had the technology, it started publishing related material in “tiny hat newspapers,” and then suggests the next step would be claims of an “alien invasion.”

Wernher von Braun emphasized a strategy of identifying enemies over time. Initially, the Russians were seen as the primary threat, followed by terrorists and then nations of concern, often referred to as "third world country crazies." He humorously noted that the ultimate enemy would be extraterrestrials, suggesting that space-based weapons would be necessary to combat them. Throughout our four years together, he repeatedly mentioned this "alien card," asserting that the entire narrative surrounding these threats was fabricated.

The discussion centers on six American scientists working on advanced materials and plasma technology who have suddenly disappeared, with a parallel pattern of missing Chinese scientists. The speakers debate where the technology originated (with sources suggesting it came from downed UAPs/UFOs) and why these individuals are vanishing, including both U.S. and Chinese scientists who worked on similar high-end military applications. Brandon Weichert outlines a sequence of events and connections: - In mid-March 2026, three Chinese defense scientists — Zhao Jingkang (nuclear weapons expert), Wu Manching (radar and metamaterials expert), and Wei Yiyan (missile systems expert) — were quietly erased from the Chinese Academy of Engineering’s website, signaling they are no longer among the living. - A few days later, hypersonics expert Yan Hong (a key figure in plasma aerodynamics) died suddenly at 56. - Weichert pairs these five Chinese scientists with the six American scientists who were working on related technologies, noting massive overlap in their work and suggesting that the Americans’ and Chinese’ programs mirror each other in advanced plasma and weapon systems. - He concludes that there is shadowboxing between the United States and China, describing it as a shaping operation in the run-up to a potential major conflict, with both sides attempting to eliminate the other’s brainpower—the human capital essential to sustaining high-end warfare. - He recalls historical precedents where nations targeted each other’s scientists (the Americans reportedly killing Soviet scientists and vice versa; Israelis targeting Iranian scientists) and argues this is not unprecedented. - Weichert cautions that the topic is not necessarily about aliens; he suggests that the systems discussed may be advanced technologies developed in the U.S., Russia, and China for years, potentially including non-alien sources and even Nazi-era technologies that were inherited, while acknowledging that alien explanations exist in public discourse. - He notes that there is a broader geopolitical dynamic at play, including the possibility that the timing of alien-related talk may be designed to distract from conventional advances in technology and the fact that China may have caught up to or surpassed the U.S. in some conventional technologies. The conversation also addresses satellites and space warfare: - There are reports on meteors or fireballs in the sky, but the speakers believe some debris could be from satellites shot down in low Earth orbit. - SpaceX Starlinks have suffered “an explosive fragmentary event,” potentially from being hit by anti-satellite weapons; Starlinks have previously been used for protests (in Iran) and supplied to Ukraine, and the Russians have developed systems like Klinka and TOBAL to knock down Starlinks. - There is a longstanding concern that electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapons on satellites could disrupt or destroy the U.S. electric grid, with a claim that one EMP detonated 50 miles above the continental United States could knock out 90–95% of the grid and take at least two years to restore, especially given reliance on Chinese-made restoring equipment. - The discussion returns to the importance of human capital and education, with a provocative claim that the Department of Education may be the single greatest national security threat due to its impact on human capital, alongside the national debt. The speakers acknowledge disagreement about whether the origin of the advanced plasma technology is extraterrestrial or terrestrial, emphasizing instead the strategic implications of missing scientists on both sides and the ongoing modernization and counterspace dimensions of the conflict.

In 1974, I was introduced to the late Doctor Wernher von Braun in the U.S., the father of rocketry. He would repeat to me over and over, and the last card, the last card, the last card would be the extraterrestrial threat. And they're all lies. There is no threat. It's all based on a lie. Space. There'll be a lot of things happening in space.

Speaker 0 argues against the existence of aliens: "Believe in aliens? No. I don't think there's any aliens roaming around. I don't think there's any grays." They frame technology as human-made, saying, "This is our technology right here. So this is us. Those flying saucers is Germany and now America and the Russians." They propose that if there are no aliens and there is no way out of this realm, thinking about a dome or firmament would profoundly affect people’s minds. It would be easier for authorities to tell people they’re going to the Moon or Mars and encountering aliens, because the alternative—being told this is the dome, this glass enclosure—would drive people nuts. The speaker suggests that claimed encounters with aliens or entities can be produced by psychedelic use, which alters perception and “frequency of your eyes.” They argue that removing emotion from logic reveals differing interpretations, contrasting this with emotionally influenced media imagery—movies about aliens and invasions (e.g., Will Smith and Mars Attacks) that skew thinking. They compare viewpoints to different social environments: a newborn perspective versus an adult, and offer Amish and shaman contrasts. The Amish, who lack television and radio, would provide a very different interpretation when asked questions, due to minimal programming. In contrast, a shaman might use mind-altering substances to convey different insights. The speaker uses these examples to illustrate how upbringing and substances can radically alter perspective, moving from the Amish to the shaman to emphasize divergent worldviews.

Trevor Coppola and Deborah Tavares discuss a NASA “war document” that they say was publicly accessible on the NASA website. They highlight that the PowerPoint, presented in July 2001 by Dennis Bushnell, chief NASA scientist at the Langley Center, is titled Future Warfare Circa 2025 and asserts “based in all cases upon existing data trends analysis technologies, no pixie dust.” They contend the document’s premise centers on robots, cyborgs, and humans, and note a startling contrast between its stated near-term reality and its actual content. Key claims and findings they emphasize include: - The document’s page 93 allegedly states: “capture, torture Americans in living color on prime time,” followed by plans for terror attacks within the Continental United States using binary biologicals to take down critical infrastructure, an EMP, and the use of radiation frequencies against brains, along with serious psy war and collateral damage, and exploitation. It also mentions “exploit CNN syndrome.” - The document allegedly involves agencies including the US Air Force, DARPA, CIA, FBI, Southern Command, Atlantic Command, Australian Department of Defense, and other corporate/government entities; the speakers claim the US has become a corporation (USA Inc.) and that the constitution has been bypassed. - It is claimed that the document references the use of frequencies and beam weapons, micro-dust as a weapon (micron-sized mechanized dust distributed as an aerosol that bores into lungs), and the manipulation of public perception via mass media propaganda (the “CNN syndrome” appears in the text). - Page 66 is cited as saying humans are “too large,” “too heavy,” “too tender,” and “too slow,” requiring huge logistical trains and implying humans have a rapidly decreasing value. - The document allegedly notes that routine smart meters and frequency-based warfare will affect 100% of the human population, with some as “canaries in the coal mine” experiencing health effects such as ringing in the ears, heart palpitations, skin rashes, and sleep disruption; frequencies are said to jam the immune system. - It is claimed that elites shield themselves from such weapons using advanced technologies, including cancer cures, chip mechanisms, and transhumanist pursuits; they discuss chemtrails and nanofibers as phase one of a multi-layered program. - The speakers connect the NASA document to a broader framework including the Iron Mountain and Silent Weapons Quiet Wars documents, arguing these outline a plan to depopulate, mind-control, and subjugate populations through electronic, environmental, and societal manipulation. They mention that the document foresees educational and social control via computers, telecommuting, and a rewritten history/education system. - They discuss the oiling of global governance by elites (Bilderberg, Trilateral Commission, Skull and Bones), and claim individuals like John P. Holdren, MITRE, Leon Panetta, and others operate without a constitution to move policies toward this plan. - They argue that climate-change rhetoric and geoengineering (chemtrails) serve as cover for population reduction and control, including deforestation, food supply manipulation, and a global shift toward corporate dominance (Monsanto, seed control, and bio-terror strategies). On solutions, they advocate rapid public education through source documents: Silent Weapons Quiet Wars, Iron Mountain, and New World Order Exposed 1969, all available via stopthecrime.net. They urge a revelation rather than a revolution to avoid martial law and to counter weaponized frequencies, smart meters, and surveillance mechanisms. They advise looking at the NASA document to form a new reality based on these truths, enabling informed action. They conclude by directing listeners to stopthecrime.net and smartmetersmurder.com for access to related materials and videos, including Barry Trower’s work on frequency weaponization and the deployment of disguised cell towers.

Speaker 0 (anonymous whistleblower): Government seems to be involved. They’re definitely some kind of nonhuman sentience. We’ve recovered the vehicles and have physical proof. I was partially cleared into those activities and had access to the data, reading intelligence reports resulting from those programs. Speaker 1: And with your own eyes you’ve seen it. So when people say this is kooky, there’s nothing to back it up… Speaker 2 (NASA): NASA is open and transparent with our data. Do you believe what Mister David Crush said, or is he lying? Whatever he said, where’s the evidence? Speaker 1: What do you say? Speaker 0: Members of this administration are very aware of this reality; the current president is very knowledgeable on this subject, and I trust his leadership. I think he’s assembled a cabinet, and I believe if Trump wants to be the greatest president and the most consequential leader in world history, he certainly has the knowledge, the capabilities, and understanding of some of these sensitive government transparency issues. Speaker 3: I have access and have spoken to people about it. I’ve had meetings with very smart, solid people who believe there is something out there. It makes sense there could be, but I’ve never been convinced, despite that. It’s not my thing. Speaker 1: So you think, one, he knows, and two, he’s open to transparency on UAPs? He’s very well informed on this issue. Leave it at that. I don’t want to get ahead of what the president might want to reveal. There’s been a role to cover this up through administrations. Speaker 0: I was physically threatened even before I sent in my intelligence community inspector general report under the previous administration. I had to seek legal protection because I was fearful professionally and personally. Speaker 1: And when you mention recovering pilots or remains nonhuman, that’s something you saw in the intelligence with your eyes? Speaker 0: Yes. There were pictures. It’s uncomfortable to discuss because it’s outside a normal worldview to understand there is a biological sentience that piloted these crafts and does not necessarily look 100% like us. Speaker 1: Were there pictures? Speaker 0: There were. Speaker 1: When I said from another planet or outer space, you said you don’t know where they’re from. Is it interdimensional? What are we talking about? Speaker 0: I’ve talked to a lot of graybeards about the origin. I leave an open mind. There is an extraterrestrial hypothesis, and they could be coming from elsewhere off Earth, but I didn’t see that data. I’m not conversant in the high-confidence theories the US government had. I’m not aware of any remains the department has of extraterrestrial beings or technology. Speaker 1: Do other governments know? Do they have programs? Speaker 0: They have their own programs. Two and a half years ago we’ve been in an arms race with peer competitors—Russia and China—and they have their own programs. I viewed a body of intelligence that discussed adversarial programs. Speaker 1: We’ve recovered things—bodies and physical remains. Was there a sense of their motive or whether it’s peaceful or not? We’ve seen a mixed bag of motives. Speaker 0: Activity and motive vary; the reasons for visiting are not fully understood. Could it be because we have interesting genetic material on Earth and we’re a Jurassic Park tourist attraction? There could be a myriad of reasons. Speaker 1: For other people coming forward, what do you say about intimidation? There are reports of harassment. There’s hope. Congress values whistleblower information now, and there’s appetite to do the right thing. There are things happening behind the scenes that the administration may discuss when ready. Speaker 1: We’ll follow every element. It’s fascinating. Speaker 0: Thanks for having me. Speaker 4: Sean Hannity here. Subscribe to Fox News YouTube pay.

The speaker proposes a scenario in which the “old world” is still present beneath or within modern structures and institutions. They argue that an advanced civilization built major monuments worldwide—specifically citing the Milan Cathedral, Cologne Cathedral, the Parliament Building in Budapest, and the United States Capitol Building—and that much of this civilization was wiped out by a powerful event within the last four to five hundred years, leaving leaders who survived in “catacombs” and “necropolises.” They claim surviving leaders are the ones who prepared for the event, and that certain large underground spaces, including a ballroom described as a protective shield, extend “about six stories deep,” implying unusual construction for a ballroom. They connect this hypothesis to UFO/UAP narratives, stating that beings described as coming from far-away galaxies may instead be from here, potentially having been present before humans. They contend that modern explanations are supported by “dumbest narratives” and lack documentation. They also claim advanced technology was “dripping… back to us over the past two hundred years,” pointing to the car, plane, train, phone, internet, computers, and AI, arguing that society is not evolving or advancing but receiving previously existing technology. The speaker links ongoing destruction and restoration of historic structures to covert activity, citing plastic covering (as seen in France) and questioning why restoration would involve fires and unexplained causes. They say fires appear repeatedly and they are “never given a cause,” raising the possibility of attempts to restore systems that are not properly understood. They reference events in space policy history by recounting a meeting with Dr. Werner von Braun (introduced in 1974 by “Dr. Carolin”), who allegedly warned about lies surrounding the weaponization of space, describing a sequence of supposed threats (“the evil empire,” “Russians,” “terrorists,” “third world countries,” “rogue nations,” “asteroids,” and finally an “extraterrestrial threat”). The speaker claims von Braun also discussed suitcase bombs and chemical, viral, bacterial, and biological warfare as part of the deception framework, using this to support the idea that “there is something going on” beyond stated reasons. They argue that UAP origins may be tied to the Book of Enoch, interpreting it as describing the fall of angels, a precursor to early civilization, and technology given to mankind. They state that these beings allegedly do not follow scientific laws “as measured by people,” and that evidence suggests they are “under the ocean and under the ground.” A recurring theme is sanitation and architectural planning: the speaker claims many monumental buildings were not built with toilets, citing “episode one hundred and twenty-six,” and argues this suggests either the old world did not need toilets or had sanitation methods misunderstood today. They claim the absence of toilets from blueprints was deliberate and that waste disposal stories do not align with advanced construction capabilities. They also discuss resonance, stating they believe the “organ in these cathedrals” resonates with bones below floors. They further argue that “FL Ames” (or “Flames”) could not have built such palaces, and that the scale and skill imply an advanced civilization. They mention the Department of War’s 2021 UAP file releases (described as “May eighth, two thousand twenty-six”) and claim the ongoing disclosures have multiple meanings. They question where technology comes from, contrasting “space aliens” with the idea that “Johnny from Walmart” could not figure out complex chips, and claiming current production on mass scale raises questions about sources of innovation. The speaker frames modern UAP disclosure as possibly involving survivors rather than new visitors from space: survivors from the same cities now called home, who never left, are familiar with Earth, and may be controlling or influencing the timeline. They conclude that the old world—an advanced group—has been present continuously, is still here, and is connected to technology being returned to society.

Wernher von Braun outlined a strategy where the initial enemy was the Russians, portrayed as a threat with killer satellites. Following them, terrorists were identified as the next adversary, then "third world country crazies," now referred to as nations of concern. He humorously mentioned asteroids as a future enemy, and the final threat would be extraterrestrials, which he called the "alien card." Throughout our time together, he emphasized that this narrative was a lie. He warned that the push for space-based weapons would accelerate unexpectedly, reaching a point where it would be too late for people to comprehend what was happening.

At age 16, while in the Chinese military, the speaker was told that China's strategy to defeat the U.S. should avoid traditional warfare. The reasoning was that China was too poor and technologically behind, making a conventional war unwinnable. Instead, the suggested strategy involved the full use of bioweapons and chemical weapons. It also included working to turn Americans against each other through divide-and-conquer tactics to weaken the U.S. from within.

Werner Von Braun died of pancreatic cancer on June 16, 1977, in Alexandria, Virginia. On his deathbed, Von Braun warned of a false flag fake alien invasion. According to Von Braun, the United States would present this invasion to the world. The purpose of the fake alien invasion would be to unite mankind under a single governing body known as the New World Order. The speaker suggests an outside universal threat could make worldwide differences vanish. The speaker believes there is an opportunity to forge a new world order. They state that when "we are successful, and we will be," there will be a real chance at this new world order. This new order would allow a credible United Nations to fulfill the promise and vision of its founders through its peacekeeping role.

In 1974, Carol Rosin met the late Dr. Wernher von Braun in the United States. During their first meeting, which lasted about three and a half hours, he told her, “Carol, you will stop the weaponization of space.” He stated that there is a lie being told to everyone that the weaponization of space is now first based upon the evil empire, the Russians. He said there are many enemies against whom we're going to build this space-based weapon system. The first of whom was the Russians, which was existing at that time. Then there would be third world countries, which we now call rogue nations or nations of concern. Then there would be asteroids. And then he would repeat to me over and over: “the last card, the last card, the last card would be the extraterrestrial threat.”

William Tomkins, who worked for US Navy intelligence during World War II, participated in top secret debriefings of navy spies embedded within the Nazis’ most advanced aeronautical projects. He disseminated a summary of the debriefings to US aviation companies and think tanks to help them study the many German projects underway. In his autobiography Selected by Extraterrestrials, Tomkins provides documents supporting his claims, including a copy of his mission orders verifying that he was tasked to act as a disseminator of aircraft research, and copies of passes to enter and leave the naval air station in San Diego with multiple packages, substantiating his claim that he was carrying intelligence briefing packets to select US corporations and think tanks. The Navy spies revealed that the Nazis were receiving assistance from an extraterrestrial race described as reptilians who were acting as consultants in various German aerospace projects. In an exclusive interview, Tomkins publicly revealed the role of reptilian extraterrestrials in Nazi projects. The SS had many meetings and formed an organization; reptilian consultants assisted all of these different things that it takes to design and build spacecraft carriers and propulsion systems, an extremely well developed program documented like crazy. They were openly connected at the upper SS level, yet compartmentalized. A statement alluding to an agreement with extraterrestrials and Germany described a program where hundreds of thousands of Russian girls were brought to facilities; groups would get them pregnant; the aim was to produce babies and parallel a reptilian Navy battle group program to go to other stars. The operation spanned thousands of engineering groups, with some building water-plate steel UFOs, 200–250 feet, and others reverse engineering vehicles. The mission was to take over the planet, tear off all the ones that are a problem, the rest of them make slaves out of them. Then second phase was to leave the planet with large squadrons of UFOs after you’ve got them all built and do the same thing to other stars’ planets. Next episode will cover how Nazis developed flying saucer technologies that operated from secret bases in Antarctica capable of traveling to the moon, other planets, and distant star systems.

There must be simultaneous disclosure and engagement of benevolent extraterrestrials against malevolent ones. This will lead to visible conflicts in the sky, witnessed by everyone globally. No nation will be able to ignore it, and the United Nations, along with all world leaders, will be involved. This collective involvement is essential for the situation to work effectively.

If Russia owned it, the conflict in Ukraine wouldn't exist, as Putin's ego would prevent it. If China had control, they would dominate us even more than they do now. This leads back to my main point: it could either be extraterrestrial or technology we are reverse engineering from our own secret projects.

"China is clearly developing something similar. I'm sure Russia is as well. Other state actors are probably developing something." "And if they get it, it will be far worse than if we do." "Game theoretically, that's what's happening right now." "If you can't control superintelligence, it doesn't really matter who builds it, Chinese, Russians, or Americans." "It's still uncontrolled." "Short term, when you talk about military, yeah, whoever has better AI will win." "But then we say long term. If we say in two years from now, doesn't matter." "You need it to control drones to fight against attacks." "Right."

Speaker 0 discusses Wernher von Braun’s warning about a potential hoaxed alien attack on the planet. He says the idea is “it will trick and fool almost everyone,” and that those with certain technologies could stage it, fooling the public for decades. He notes that people have long been misled into thinking alien events are real, while military or covert aerospace programs are behind what’s observed. Speaker 1 asks what the goal would be in staging a false alien attack on the world. He inquires what would be accomplished by such an act. Speaker 0 explains the objective: to unite the world around a military junta and a totalitarian system. He asks how to get a single race, ethnicity, or nation to stop fighting each other, suggesting that creating a larger external threat would unify everyone against a common enemy. He asserts that such unity could allow the imposition of totalitarian controls during a supposed world war rather than in peacetime. He cites a seventy-year plan and claims to have a CIA document from 1953 or 1954 stating that the UFO issue can be used “to great advantage for its quote psychological warfare value.” He says that after mastering the technology in the mid-1950s, there has been a long-term program to brainwash the public into believing there’s a threat from space. The discussion then shifts to whether this brainwashing could also affect political leaders, including President Trump, noting there are “devils on these deep state operations around the president giving him the opposite perspective.” Speaker 0 continues by describing the tension between true narratives and false flag narratives, and notes that with a very busy president who receives a one-sheet summary amid many duties, it would be easy for bad actors within the system to influence him, portraying them as “foxes in the hen house.” The overall claim is that there is an ongoing, deliberate manipulation of public perception regarding extraterrestrial threats, with the potential to steer political decisions by presenting a false flag scenario as real.

Speaker 0: The discussion centers on bells, specifically the Die Glock, a giant German bell used for levitation. Nick Cook and many other scientists believe the bell discharged some sort of radiation connected to levitation. Inside the bell were cylinders that spun in the opposite direction and also contained mercury. Not just any mercury, red mercury—the kind the government tells you to stay away from. Mercury, or quicksilver, is shown here, with electricity involved. So we have mercury creating voltage, and then uranium or radium present, which would emit the radiation. The sounds coming off the bell were described as beehive-like, and there was a bluish phosphorus glow from the bell. The text notes that this form of levitation and other inventions were similar to the Vril Society, which people should look into, along with Wotan. Also mentioned are Schauberger's work, Tesla's work, and the bell itself. The narrative also references the United States government claiming that Germany was developing nukes, and posits that this helps explain why they were invaded.

I haven't seen any evidence of aliens. SpaceX's StarLink has about 6,000 satellites, and we’ve never had to maneuver around a UFO. If anyone has clear evidence of aliens, I’d like to see it, but I remain skeptical. This lack of evidence raises concerns. If any civilization in the Milky Way could last a million years and travel at a fraction of the speed of light, they could have explored the galaxy by now. The absence of such civilizations suggests they are rare and precarious. We should view human civilization as a fragile candle in a vast darkness and strive to ensure that it doesn’t go out.
