Everyone is looking forward. Almost nobody is looking back.
If an advanced non-human intelligence has been interacting with us, they wouldn't need to be far ahead of us to have left the signatures of their own artificial intelligence somewhere in our past.
Settle in for a relaxing ufology documentary, an atmospheric sleep story, and a long walk through four thousand years of objects that answer when you look at them. Together, we'll explore what a singularity actually is, a machine said to be sitting in the Atlantic building craft nobody ordered, an anonymous man dying of cancer who decided to talk, and two people twelve years apart who say they were put in a room with something that looked back.
Whether you're here to relax, fall asleep, study the strange corners of ufology, or simply spend an hour and a quarter inside a question that hasn't closed, I hope you enjoy your stay.
Check in. Tune Out.
