Joe Rogan presses JD Vance over his claim that UFOs may actually be demons. The vice president does not walk it back.
Rogan gave him three separate exits. Vance took none of them.
ROGAN: "You said something that I thought was very odd. You said that you thought that they were demons."
[Vance starts laughing]
VANCE: "Okay. I did say that."
ROGAN: "What did you mean by that?"
VANCE: "If we're talking about an extraterrestrial being that is human-like but not human, that contains effectively infinite powers and is torturing human beings, you can call it an alien if you want, but I think there's a lot of historical precedent to call that a demon."
After Rogan describes an alleged encounter in which the beings healed a man, Vance flips the frame.
VANCE: "Extra powerful beings, in this case communicating telepathically helping people, sounds like an angel."
VANCE: "There's no real difference between me and God to my dog. I can literally walk into a room and turn the light on. I can make food appear instantaneously. I can transport myself across time and space very, very rapidly."
VANCE: "If it's real, is there really a meaningful difference between an angel or a demon and a space alien with super technology?"
VANCE: “To our perception, they would largely just look like the same thing.”
@AnthroguyMFC Honestly that guy taking about “some poor construction working catching tetanus” sounds like a massive faggot.

We built Jikipedia, a new wiki that compiles Jmail data into exhaustive reports on key figures in the Epstein scandal.
It lists all recorded visits to Epstein's estates, each person's possible knowledge of Epstein's crimes and laws that they may have violated.
Here is Epstein's executive assistant, who sent >100k emails to him and was shielded from prison via a 2007 non-prosecution deal.
I'm about to do something I think I've never done before, which is assert every bit of whatever authority I have as the person who discovered and wrote down the rules of open source.
After ten years of drama and idiocy, lots of people other than me are now willing to say in public that "Codes of Conduct" have been a disaster - a kind of infectious social insanity producing lots of drama and politics and backbiting, and negative useful work.
Here is my advice about codes of conduct:
1. Refuse to have one. If your project has one, delete it. The only actual function they have is as a tool in the hands of shit-stirrers.
2. If you're stuck with having one for bureaucratic reasons, replace it with the following sentence or some close equivalent: "If you are more annoying to work with than your contributions justify, you'll be ejected."
3. Attempts to be more specific and elaborate don't work. They only provide control surfaces for shit-stirrers to manipulate.
Yes, we should try to be kind to each other. But we should be ruthless and merciless towards people who try to turn "Be kind!" into a weapon. Indulging them never ends well.
