This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
Tucker Carlson, underwater UFOs attracted to nuclear power, head injuries and a cover-up?
That's all in this interview: https://youtube.com/watch?v=kAaFEOCHE4I&t=4258
It looks pretty legit, it's a long interview. I'm not the best at discerning AI fake lip movements from real speech but it seems right. It seems difficult for AI to do such a long video, with expressive facial movements and hand gestures. (Maybe Mussolini-style really expressive posture and hand gestures will be a way to express authenticity in the near future?)
Anyway, Tucker starts off with the whole legitimizing preface about how he lived in Washington for ages, he worked with the government, never one of those 'conspiracy theorists' who believe fluoride causes brain injuries. Then he describes how this Stanford Professor wanted to talk to him. Apparently he's a big expert on head injuries and the US Department of Defense was consulting with him, trying to avoid making payments to families of 100 servicemen who had traumatic head injuries from UFOs. Some kind of mysterious energy scrambles their brains. Tucker affirms that these UFOs are really interested in nuclear power, visiting A-bombs, nuclear subs, carriers and missiles. This matches up with what I heard for a long time about their interest in nuclear activities, though I'm sure people will point out that nuclear power is often near our best radar/investigative apparatus on airbases or carriers.
I guess it begs the question of why this elite professor didn't come on the show, though I suspect the US military has ways of putting pressure on people. Many professors aren't willing to become massive media figures over night, maybe he reconsidered. Maybe they wanted more proof, to ironclad their story. Tucker doesn't mention it, though he says he was strongly persuaded that the professor's credentials are real. He says Lockheed Martin and Raytheon have some of the UFO wreckage and have been studying it. He implies it's alien. I would've thought with all that they could come up with something more exciting than the F-35 with that tech.
There's also something going on underwater, these heat sources that aren't rising in accordance with physics, weird moving signatures at hundreds of knots underwater, UFOs there too. He sneers at Prince Harry too, as part of his argument that most people aren't going to be freaked out by aliens arriving on the basis that they'll just be reading about celebrity drama the next day - they're too pacified. It's sort of correct on a meta level since he only talks about UFOs at the end of the interview, the first hour mostly seems to be about Canada, Onlyfans, trans. I skimmed through the transcript (and highly recommend you do the same if like me you're unwilling to watch long stretches of video).
I'm predisposed to agree with Tucker that there's something large-scale and serious going on like aliens. I already thought that the standard anti-alien-UFO arguments were somewhat weak. It seems you could explain away anything if you try hard enough: radar glitches, sonar glitches, advanced targeting systems getting confused by clouds, sustained human error from military professionals... That could almost cover up a small war! I think the whole 'priors' argument is overstated - its like a circular argument if we dismiss things that look like non-inertial movement as non-inertial movement is impossible. Priors are supposed to be updated both ways. Likewise with interstellar travel - it might be very hard for us but perhaps it's much easier for very advanced civilizations. We have no idea how far the tech tree goes, we certainly haven't completed our basic understanding of how the universe's forces operate. 95% of the universe is 'dark'. Maybe you need a staggeringly powerful stellar-scale particle accelerator to get to the next level and do crazy things. Or strong AGI. The US military also filed patents on some powerful technologies a few years ago - https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/30256/scientist-behind-the-navys-ufo-patents-has-now-filed-one-for-a-compact-fusion-reactor
Still, I suppose Tucker could be trying to sow confusion as part of some 5D chess gambit - he does by his own admission have a long history with govt and mainstream media. To his credit he apologizes for being part of the problem, defending the Iraq War (towards the end of the video). There's also the whole Tucker text messages story which came out recently which implies he might not be entirely honest. I'd like to hear about the context in which he called Trump a 'destroyer' and 'demonic force' though, on that matter.
Opinions? Thoughts? Predictions on whether Tucker will make a big official announcement about aliens?
Maybe aliens really are that different, but the thing with human exploration is that there really wasn't any doubt about contact between an advanced and a less advanced civilisation. Cortez really did show up in Mexico. The Pilgrims really did settle in New England. The Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch and pretty much anyone who could get a ship did end up in South America and India and Africa. Heck, the reason South Korean kimchi has chilies in is because the Portuguese landed in Japan, brought chilies from the New World, and introduced them to the local cuisine, and they passed on to Korea via Japan!
So while maybe a tribe in the interior of what would become the United States of America had heard rumours about alleged landings of strange people with odd devices, but never had direct contact until much later, there was real contact with some early tribes. No messing around with "we think this could be a sighting", the foreigners were right there on the doorstep.
Why don't we see that with our alleged alien visitors? Stop hanging around nuclear power plants disguised as swamp gas or weather balloons, land on the White House lawn and ask for Sam Brinton's successor to give you a tour of the facilities!
This is now my favorite theory for UFOs.
