A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear:
โIt doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.โ
Itโs extremely hard to โdo a little disclosureโ and avoid the tight scientific/societal questions. The only way this has worked has been starving smart technical people for any detail at all.
What I will be watching:
Everyone: โDid the government psy-op us all with BS? If so: Why????โ
Biologists: โYou said the government has alien biologics? Do they have eukaryotic cells? If so what do we know about their histones, matrilineal mitochondrial dna, hemoglobin atp synthase??? What is their placement on the phylogenetic tree? Tetrapods??? Isolates?? If not eucaryotic, how are their cells/tissues organized? Do they use proteins?? What are their body plans??โ
Linguists: โWhat is the structure of their communication schemes? Can it be mapped onto a generalized human grammar? Or are our languages not expressive enough to cover their languages? Do they use sound or light or some other wave to transmit/receive? Do they have an analog of music??โ
Physicists: โHow do the standard model and general relativity appear as effective theories/lagrangians of the alien understanding of the cosmic waves, media and fabric for lack of better terms? How many dimensions are there, are they engineering accessible and how many new ones are temporal? Are there new forms of energy corresponding to these new degrees of freedom? Is the speed of light gameable?โ
Civil Libertarians: โHow many innocent lives were ruined keeping this secret? Did we fake a lot of this?? Who authorized the lying, discrediting and possible wet work?โ
NatSec: โAre we owned by an unknown force? Will it now be trivial easy for everyone to make WMD from new discoveries?โ
Etc.
This is not going to stay controlled if it is at all specific. As soon as there are any specifics I guess that the game changes character instantly and goes into high gear with totally different players.
