UFOs, Aliens, Antigravity & Government Secrets - Jesse Michels - #982

An interest with UFOs is maladaptive to most people. How so? Oh, yeah, you're quoting me on, I think, Danny Jones. I think in some ways, and this actually speaks to like, you know, we're on modern wisdom here, I think a lot of what people should be focused on is the lower end of Maslow's hierarchy. Like it's like subsistence living, you know, paying taxes on time, uh, uh, putting food on the table.

being basically healthy. And then I think at a certain point, then you start to care about this sort of more like existential, you know, who are we? What's our place in the universe? You know, what is humanity's place in the cosmos? And so that's why I think in some ways it's it's maladaptive because if you don't have that lower end sort of figured out, it's like, why focus on this sort of, you know, really crazy pie in the sky stuff.

That's so interesting that you think people have sort of taken the uh stair lift to the top of Everest. That's what's hierarchy of needs. It's like if you're asking, are we alone in the universe but you haven't got a steady job or you your health's in the toilet or you don't have a community of people around you, you're probably focusing on the wrong things. 100%. In fact, I think a lot of people focus on it as a circumvention of reality itself.
