the Astro that came back in the past 2 years was a phony.

War and rumors of war…
I too wonder what is going on. Too many secrets. No over sight. Maybe the Elite have already left and they left behind their flunkys to watch the general population??
But that is assuming the Breakaway, which I still have trouble believing in. Loch Ness? OK. Bigfoot?? Sure, they can tag along! Big, black triangles we operate?? Yep. I seen something that exhibited really cool tech! But I baulk at an entire segment leaving us behind. It is like a limb that you need!
But if management is anything like the public sector then I am pretty confident in denying the Breakaways.
At least that is what I have come to understand about humanity. We may not like the mentally ill but we can still love them as individuals. I am being tested on this stance and I am being better than I was!

there is no color black.
black is the lack of reflected light coming from an object,
the only place in nature true black happens in nature is the singularity of a black hole, even that cool nanotube vantablack stuff is only 99% black.
you could use some animation tricks to make some thing look like the solid side of an aircraft.
i think you might be surprised what state holography is at today.
i don't deny they exist, i just don't think there are a lot of them and i certainly don't think they are coming and going off world as they choose.
We know that these people use altered memories and fake abductions to cover their tracks, why not mess with some ones visual perception and use holograms?
we'll know in a few years how true this astr0 saga is.

Because it's not by the virtue of your genes, but by circumstances. And if you go so far and achieve that by technology you per definition are no human anymore and would have to prove you're superior first.
And even if that'd turn out to be the case your first act as species would be to wipe out a species that made you possible. I don't know what you strive for but I have different dreams than being apex predator.
A lot of humans prefer harmony. So maybe you suffered from a parasite and are just a phase in it's always progressing stage turning the universe into a vacuum with electricity...
I got maybe a little carried away with that but: if you want to improve the human race it's about respecting human nature and enabling the next generation to build on that.
What would happen in such a tiny community is that they'd eat eachother because of a need to dominate otherwise they wouldn't be in this club that secures its position by arbitrarily declaring others disposable.

My problem is not being left behind or not picked. Because it is not about me. But if you ever saw a “handy capable” or homeless person enforcing rules on some other piece of throw away life then you know that individuals have purpose to their existence. And it is very arrogant to discount a life because “it ain’t as good as it should be/yours”.
By that standard most people that I interact with do not measure up. And I have no genocidal leaning on their lives.
So why me? So why have that attitude? Really, as just another feeder, I don’t think that I need money valuating my existence! I say “get rid of middle management”!
I believe that we do this as a species. Or not at all.
But who am I to say??
