Hi Everyone, 

I don’t know about you, but I would not be surprised if you do what I do when you scroll through your YouTube, or X, or Instagram, or TikTok feed — or whatever social media platform you use. For me, it’s really only YouTube, but I find myself scrolling and scrolling, and then scrolling some more — all in the hopes of deciding upon a video that I believe to be genuinely worth my time. 

Of course, there are some ol’ reliables, probably just as you have. But there is so much hype, so much urgency, basically everyone trying to convince me that THIS is the video I MUST be watching right NOW. 

It’s an ocean of urgency,, every day. 

But that’s just part of it. So much is unreliable, even completely false sometimes. It raises the obvious question of how to navigate this information sludge and develop a proper understanding of the things we care about? 

I don’t have an answer in this video. I just raise the problem. It affects the UFO/UAP field to a very great degree. It’s basically one part of a much wider problem, but we deal with it. Increasingly we are siloed in our self-reinforcing bubbles of ideological purity. 

Not a good place for us. 

Anyway, it’s good for about 30 minutes of talk. I do hope that *you* think this *is* worth a half hour of your time! I can promise you there’s no fake news in there. 🙂

Richard
