I'm too lazy to build a full essay on my meta-theory of UFOs so i put down a few ideas and got ai to build it for me. I'm happy with it.

> let's build a theory of ufos based around the ideas of:

- open-source, accretive, iterative narratives and myths

- motif grafting

- a narrative structure where each building block is in amorphous forms suchs as witness testimony, so there's no way to tell what is a psyop, what is true, what is hoax, what is hallucinations/sleep paralysis dreams.

......

You’re basically sketching a meta-theory of UFOs as a living narrative ecosystem, rather than a question of “are UFOs real.” That’s fertile ground. Let’s build a framework that integrates your points:

1. UFO Phenomena as an Open-Source Narrative System

Think of the UFO mythos like an open-source software repository. Anyone can “fork” it — add new motifs, expand the lore, reinterpret old sightings. Each witness testimony, military leak, YouTube video, or Reddit thread is a commit to this shared narrative codebase.

• Accretive & Iterative: No single author. UFO stories are constantly revised, reinterpreted, merged. Roswell leads to Area 51 leads to Bob Lazar leads to Tic Tac UFOs.

• Distributed Authorship: Witnesses, hoaxers, intelligence agencies, experiencers, and filmmakers all contribute “patches.”

• Versioning Without Ground Truth: Just like an unmoderated codebase, contradictory versions can coexist. No central authority merges them into a canonical release.

This structure explains why UFO narratives feel both self-similar and constantly mutating.

2. Motif Grafting as Evolutionary Mechanism

Motifs (disc shapes, abductions, hybrid babies, telepathy, government coverups) are like memetic genes. They graft onto one another, mutate, and recombine depending on cultural context:

• 1890s airships → 1940s saucers → 1990s triangles → 2020s “black cubes in spheres.”

• Contactee movements borrow from theosophy, Cold War paranoia, sci-fi imagery.

• Government disclosures inject “official” motifs (Tic Tac craft, AATIP) into the ecosystem.

Each new motif enhances the myth’s adaptive fitness — making it resonant with the fears and hopes of the current era (nuclear anxiety, climate collapse, AI, etc.).

3. The Narrative Structure as Amorphous, Non-Falsifiable

Here’s the core: UFO narratives exist in a liminal epistemic space. Each building block — witness testimony, leaked memo, grainy video — is amorphous. It’s impossible to definitively label any piece as “true” or “psyop” or “hoax” or “dream.”

This amorphousness is actually structural, not accidental:

• Ambiguity is a Feature: The myth survives precisely because it’s impossible to falsify or verify.

• Dream Logic & Sleep Paralysis: Many contact experiences overlap with known liminal states of consciousness, creating powerful but uncheckable stories.

• Psyops & Hoaxes as Inputs: Even deliberate disinformation becomes “source material” that believers and skeptics both use to expand the mythos.

In this sense, UFO lore operates like a hyperobject (à la Timothy Morton) — too diffuse, distributed, and contradictory to be pinned down.

4. The Meta-Theory

So we can frame UFOs as:

A self-organizing, open-source mythos whose motifs are constantly grafted, iterated, and remixed across amorphous sources of testimony, where ambiguity itself is the engine of its endurance.

This doesn’t deny that something unusual may happen — it just says the UFO phenomenon we can actually study is the narrative ecology, not the underlying reality. In this model:

• “Real events” are just one input among many (like a kernel in the codebase).

• Hoaxes, psyops, and hallucinations aren’t bugs — they’re features.

• The myth evolves like a coral reef, built from millions of small, uncoordinated deposits.

5. Implications

• Sociological Lens: We study UFOs the way anthropologists study religion — as an emergent cultural phenomenon with no central authority.

• Narrative Warfare: Intelligence agencies can seed or shape motifs, but once released, they can’t fully control their evolution.

• Endless Iterability: Every new “disclosure” or “debunking” adds another layer. The myth never collapses, it just forks.

I was all in on ufos but have been reading a book about skunk works and how they developed shit like the SR-71 in the 60s. If that was the level of tech we were able to achieve back then, our shit today would be UFOs

Is there a good open source cashu lightning address sever

At what point do you put it on ios or will it always be 2 separate code bases

Is there a spec or anything for bolt12 zaps

Can't on nostr either, can bot everything easily
