That was an outstanding documentary, thanks for bringing it to our attention. I had been chatting with a friend earlier this afternoon about the dynamics of power, economics & class struggle, and we both wondered about what the solution could be - in watching this video - some information from which I already knew, yet the presentation clarified the clear signal line of what it all means, the implications of the technology leaps made in the 1950s, etc - I think we've found that solution.
It's all about energy. Fix the energy scarcity problem, give everyone access to the best energy production devices, and the world will be reborn fully within a hundred years, renewed and refreshed within a couple of decades even. Abundance as a mindset for societal progress, scarcity a completely forgotten trait of our ancestors, persecuted as they were by the controlling corporate & financial interests of the times, as the inventions were born, again & again crushed.
If only we could all get behind this call for a release of the hidden patents & papers & an open-sourcing of the technology. The world could be clean, free & beautiful once again, and our newly enlightened mindset would enable us to conquer any challenge we put our minds to.
Here's hoping that we can do it, somehow..

I'm one of those crazy flat earthers, who firmly believes that the world we occupy is an enclosed system - I know nothing about what lies beyond, only that the skies we witness - the stars & planets beyond - are likely a sort of holographic projection within the semi-solid dome of the firmament above. We can gauge real astronomical observations including distance, chemical composition, spectra of light & so forth, but we could never actually penetrate the firmament itself to journey to the many worlds which seem to lie beyond our own biosphere.

Had me until that nugget. However, you do make some good points as far as breakaway civilization(s) existing under the oceans.

Were you the same guy posting that he 'knew' that there was a solid glass dome above the earth? Or perhaps sphere depending on if you are flat earth or not?
That was wild lol.
It was based on how light bent which was all basically demonstrated to be false using normal atmospheric physics (gases) .

I have always looked at these are Time Travel from the future. A little ship you can rent and if you look through history, there is a trail of orbs or spacecraft. Look at some of the leaders of tech that suddenly came about. Interesting thoughts.
There are also larger ships, which, why not a Time Traveling cruise? are there aliens, yes, but i think they would just be watching also.
Still waiting to see that Delorean....

Not necessarily. Perhaps the strength of their reality is tied to the probability of us doing as they request.
They may have the technology to traverse timelines, as per the sliders show.

Thought of this scenario just a few nights ago.
How old is this planet we inhabit?
The age of Earth is estimated to be 4.54 ± 0.05 billion years.
How many extinction events have occurred in the past?
There have been five mass extinction events in Earth's history. At least, since 500 million years ago;
And now, there are conspiracy theories suggesting underground chambers capable of harboring alien species we supposedly know little or nothing about.
What I'm getting at here is, what if all the UAP, or other unexplained sightings being reported is not from another far off distant planet, but rather a far advanced civilization that thrived before one of these extinction events and forced underground because of it? Is it possible we may have an alien species living, literally, under our feet?
A species just as common to earth as humanity is, but predates us by thousands, maybe even millions of years?

You lost me with "I'm a flat earther".
