It does, but it's accomplished that over the past century by prioritizing short term growth, long term consequences be damned.
As those debts are starting to come due to collect, while it is still accurate to say that there's been an unprecedented good run, that doesn't mean the fast approaching wall ahead that has everyone else worried is a mirage either.
Both can be true.
Overshoots a bitch. Soon the land will be unable to feed the people and our artificial fertilizer will no longer work. It was fun while it lasted!
We’ve had market corrections. We’re coming up on some global population correction for sure in the next century or so. I guess we’ll all find out if that’s the Great Filter, or if it’s something else we haven’t found yet.
The "Great Filter" premise assumes that there are no other "advanced" civilizations in the galaxy. Seems like that might not be the case, if the UAP news is not some massive psy-op lol
Aliens probably exist somewhere, but space is unfathomably large. They have never been here. UAPs generally fall into two categories: faked or oddities not understood at their time of capture.
Listen to Cmdr. Fravor and the three other pilots that witnessed the Nimitz UAP in the early 2000s. A tic tac shaped object, darting back and forth like a ping pong ball, that travelled from ~80,000 ft to ~20,000 ft in seconds on radar, and went to their cap point, "60 miles away in one minute". If it isn't NHI it is almost certainly some zero gravity tech completely unknown to the average person and is very unlikely to have not leaked at some point.
Or, much more likely, something was going on that they didn't understand, such as this: https://youtu.be/jHDlfIaBEqw?si=_wPWoNuzIRa2CrGw&t=548
Right, cause the leaked, top secret, and confirmed real video is a fake? i don't trust the images, but i do trust the stories and people behind the videos. I know its hard to believe, but the truth truly is out there
Who said fake?
The title of your video says debunk ie faked
Debunking can also mean to expose something as exaggerated, which is what these are.
They're just aerial phenomena that the government can't or doesn't care to explain. It absolutely does not mean any of what they released is of extra terrestrial origin, nor does it imply there's any crazy advanced tech going on. It's typically misinterpretations or weird tricks of light occurring in camera, which are initially classified as the cause is unknown, then are later deemed safe to declassify.
