Cloud Seeding, Conspiracies & the Texas Floods | BONUS EPISODE!

Hey everybody, I thought I would start a Spaces to talk about this whole cloud seeding brouhaha. I happened to stumble into. So Lon, uh, you probably saw my tweet last night, like um when I and then the the crazy response to it, which um was kind of crazy. People are passionate about the idea of uh of seeding clouds, especially uh, I guess Santiago Pliego is this guy who got back to you. You know, there's actually like it's interesting.

I didn't realize there was like a whole, I didn't realize the whole backstory on this, but um, I guess people are literally blaming um this founder for um causing the floods. Right. Augustus, I didn't know they were like uh actually people thought where there's like a whole conspiracy theory that Peter Tiel is flooding um or attempting to flood and kill people. That's obviously insane and deranged. Just so people know that was not my intent with my tweet.

I was just saying, hey, I wonder if we should do this. Right. Uh I think you were you were speaking very generally as a lay person. And I think people maybe were assuming that you were speaking as some sort of an insider. You were trying to rely on, you know, is this is such a topic that is surrounded with conspiratorial thinking, you know, weather machines and people controlling the climate and, you know, I think there's there's so much psychologically behind that idea.
