If you are interested in learning more about the history of UAPs and claims of NHI abductions I suggest checking out the YT channel Eyes on Cinema. Some of the hypnosis recall videos on there are terrifying.

I also see a lot of interesting stuff on https://twitter.com/richgel999 He might even be on HN!

Additionally listen to some of the interviews with Professor Garry Nolan. There is a lot of nonsense and grifters in the UFO world, how do you know this or that isn't a disinformation campaign? It's hard to know what is genuine and who is just trying to sell their book or promote their podcast. Garry Nolan once said something like UFOlogy is not a science and to seriously study the UAP phenomenon it would need to become a serious field of scientific investigation i.e. creating a journal scientists can submit papers to for peer review. I would avoid people like Steven Greer or the History Channel's Ancient Aliens.

I have always been a "show me the evidence" type person. I was an atheist since I was really young. I hope this comment helps anyone who is curious about learning about this subject. I'm not trying to convince you aliens are coming to Earth or "make you a believer".

Anything I'm not currently hyper focused on, as someone with ADHD.

Ask HN: Who are young people doing important work not motivated just by money?

nameforuser — Sat, 15 Apr 2023 10:13:28 +0000

Who are young people today doing important work, and are not primarily motivated by money?

People who are passionate about social causes, data science, science or engineering, biology, internet activism, political reform, open access to information, and are NOT primarily motivated by making money. You have to earn a living obviously, I mean their primary motivation doesen't seem to be getting rich or making investors happy but the work itself or social cause. They don't have to be young people or know how to code. I feel like younger people tend to be more idealistic and less jaded, thats why I said that.

Two people that come to mind are Rebekah Jones And William Padilla-Brown

"Rebekah Jones is a data scientist who formerly worked for the Florida Department of Health. She gained national attention in 2020 when she accused Florida officials of manipulating COVID-19 data to minimize the extent of the pandemic. She was fired from her position shortly after, and defied Florida Governor Ron DeSantis by setting up her own COVID-19 dashboard to provide more transparent and accurate information to the public.

"William Padilla-Brown is a mycologist, community organizer, and advocate for sustainable practices such as permaculture and regenerative agriculture. He is known for his work on fungi cultivation and the intersection of social justice and ecological sustainability."

Some kind of significant progress for a custom gene editing treatment for a specific disease. That isn't based on anything I know about the research, just a wild guess.

I had TMS for anxiety this summer over a period of 5 days in several hour sessions as part of a study (there was no control as it was a trial to a larger study). I'm less anxious but at a cost. I feel my short term memory and executive function is around 10% worse at least. I had a ADHD diagnosis in childhood so I already had issues with executive function and memory prior to TMS. I wish I never had TMS. I'm hoping my brain recovers. They told me that TMS has no risks beyond a headache.

I was able to find the company on my regular internet connection. The secret was to use the Baidu search engine.

Good point. I'm trying to find the contact information for a Chinese company and haven't been able to find it so far. I thought maybe they had a website or business listing on a geo restricted site.
