Britain is set to hold public hearings at which military personnel can disclose their close encounters with UFOs. The US-style hearings will allow RAF, Army and Navy whistleblowers to tell all about experiences they have been previously banned from revealing under military non-disclosure rules and for fear of ridicule.

Why the downvotes on every UAP article on Lemmy?

[–] codexarcanum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Lemmy users heavily fall into the demographic of middle aged millenials and gen-x who are severely online. Folks in that cohort largely went through the same atheist phase online, with a long tail of diversifying out from there where many remained atheists but stopped making it their whole personality.

This online, atheist debate bro culture had a lot of carry over effects though. One of them, as I see it, is severe skepticism towards most cryptic stuff. It's like we all grew up on X-Files then all took a hard turn away when we discovered that Santa Claus, good cops, and effective government were all myths.

Anyway, that's my theory. We all thought the Internet was going to bring humanity together and reveal the aliens to us. Instead we're all jaded and bitter, we know that most UAPs are secret military projects, and the internet is only good for advertising now.

Good god! You write as Hunter S. Thompson's ghost!

You outlined my exact trail, and it's freaking me out a bit.
