I enjoyed the interview. It was the thread on TFTRH#4 where I commended Mick for his good teaching ability. On this one I give him an A for his good interviewing skills. I was also impressed with Dan's self-awareness and ability to explain how he become so immersed in the prepper mindset.

Interesting. The video you posted says that what they previously launched back in 2014 was 1/10th the size of what they want to launch for passenger flights. So maybe what I saw was a prototype somewhere between the size shown in that photo and what their final goal is. I don't have a good...

answering my own question - it is a stratospheric balloon from World View. I Googled the call sign from FR24 and found a Twitter post about it: Source: https://twitter.com/stratoballoon/status/1129928681923710978

On Saturday, May 18th, I was a passenger in a car just on the outskirts of Tucson, AZ about 15 minutes past sunset when the driver noticed a large metallic object in the sky out the driver side window. It appeared stationary and so I thought maybe it was a large airplane heading towards us. I...

Same here. I learned a lot listening to this. Mick's really good at explaining things. I was particularly impressed by the use of spanner and wrench in the same sentence (54:28), so no matter what side of the pond you're from you'll still understand what he's talking about :)

I hear about that one nearly every week. It's difficult. I usually try to change the conversation to a non-conspiracy topic that I know is of interest to my family member. Good luck.

Okay. Please delete my post if not appropriate.

I listened to an NPR interview with a technology reporter, Casey Newton, regarding an article he wrote about employees at a company in Phoenix, Cognizant, that Facebook contracts for content moderation. A link to the NPR interview and transcript is here...

A Google News search for Qanon brings up several hits for this month. A Guardian opinion piece talks about its spread into Europe: Stop the online conspiracy theorists before they break democracy I found this article particularly interesting because (1), it was mildly reassuring to me that the...

Freakonomics (podcast) recently had an episode of "Tell me something I don't know" where invited guests are interviewed about a topic of their expertise and the audience picks the winner. The winner of this episode was a climate scientist, Kate Marvel, (bio here) who discussed the role of clouds...

Now I'm curious as to what a 10 would be on this scale :) Another compound CT that someone I know believes to be true is that the fire in Paradise, CA was started by a directed energy beam to prevent the aliens who were living there from their impending Disclosure. I would have called that a...

I don't really consider myself a "debunker" since I don't do it as a hobby. I do it mostly just on occasions when I'm presented directly with misinformation. My first experience with it was soon after 9/11. I was on a distribution list for group emails from a former co-worker/friend that...

Here's an article from HuffPost on how Youtube uses algorithms that suck people down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole. It describes "5 of the wildest conspiracy theories YouTube promoted in 2018". I have a family member that will mention "watching the news", and I know that it means watching...

Finished it. I really liked listening to the accounts of former believers and how they escaped the rabbit hole (gave me a bit of hope) and learning more about AI and bots. The one area where I have expertise (patents) was really well-written.
