  • Funny thing is, there are a lot of reports from experiencers that there really is a non-material world out there, and a creator of some sort, and the NHI here are well aware of that. You have to go into the occult/new age/woo side of the phenomenon to get that perspective, but it’s pretty firmly established in “the lore”.

    No one knows how official first contact with NHI is going to go, if it even happens. I’m just saying don’t assume this will be the death of religion because there is plenty of hearsay out there that claims the exact opposite.

    I think it’s going to be hilarious if NHI show up and want to proselytize to us.



  • Kids should never have been on Reddit, imo. Not because of their comments or the content they produce. But Reddit, and I guess social media in general, is for someone who can think critically and has some experience in life. Because there is so much garbage on there.

    There are absolutely kids under 10 using Reddit right now, and they’re getting introduced to the adult world by some of the sleaziest dysfunctional adults around. And even if they don’t get that deep into Reddit, it’s still not a healthy place for them. It’s not healthy for adults, we all know that, but kids on Reddit are growing up with it as a major contributor to their worldviews.

    You know, it’s basically GIGO. Adults can, in theory, understand that what Reddit says is opinion (often extreme and bizarre opinion) and not fact, but kids won’t.

    It’s a little disgusting, but completely in character, for Reddit to leech off those apps for over a decade and then stab them in the back.

    And by leech, I mean I question whether Reddit would have grown as much as it did without the 3rd-party apps. Hardly anyone uses Reddit desktop.

    … it’s probably a good thing that I don’t have Reddit on my phone now, to be honest, just wish it hadn’t happened this way.
