Today I had the privilege of interviewing Colonel Karl Nell
@SALTConference
on the topic of non-human intelligence ("NHI")
Karl didn’t mince words: he has “zero doubt” that a higher form of non-human intelligence (NHI) has been visiting Earth for a long time.
His pedigree

The former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence stating that we have recovered technology that did not originate on Earth...
The fact we aren't talking about this more is mind-boggling.
Christopher Mellon on NewsNation
“I’ve been told that we have recovered technology that did not originate on this earth by officials in the Department of Defense and by former intelligence officials.”

Trying to wake up NPCs seems like quite the high-risk hobby...
This is wild: watch this guy go around in the Matrix Awakens (!) game explaining to AI NPCs they’re in a simulation.
Remember, these are not scripted. They're not human voices. And this is not "some day", this is in Unity/Unreal now.
