Hearing on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena

David Grusch, whistleblower and former Defense Department employee, testified alongside former military pilots about their firsthand accounts of UFOs or UAPs (unidentified aerial phenomena). They appeared before a House Oversight and Accountability subcommittee. Topics included threats to national security, government transparency around UAPs, and reporting UAP encounters.

Two thoughts

• What a paradox of life it is to feel fully alive when you accept that you will die at some point in your life. 
• What would change, if anything, if it is proven that we live in a complex simulation? What attitudes, beliefs, mindsets, etc. would thrive after realizing this?

The Musician's Tale; The Saga of King Olaf I. The Challenge of Thor

I am the God Thor,
I am the War God,
I am the Thunderer!
Here in my Northland,
My fastness and fortress,
Reign I forever! 

Here amid icebergs
Rule I the nations;
This is my hammer,
Miölner the mighty;
Giants and sorcerers
Cannot withstand it! 

These are the gauntlets
Wherewith I wield it,
And hurl it afar off;
This is my girdle;
Whenever I brace it,
Strength is redoubled! 

The light thou beholdest
Stream through the heavens,
In flashes of crimson,
Is but my red beard
Blown by the night-wind,
Affrighting the nations! 

Jove is my brother;
Mine eyes are the lightning;
The wheels of my chariot
Roll in the thunder,
The blows of my hammer
Ring in the earthquake! 

Force rules the world still,
Has ruled it, shall rule it;
Meekness is weakness,
Strength is triumphant,
Over the whole earth
Still is it Thor's-Day! 

Thou art a God too,
O Galilean!
And thus single-handed
Unto the combat,
Gauntlet or Gospel,
Here I defy thee!

 - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
