Friendly reminder that:

The concept of starseeds promotes ableism by minimizing or denying ADHD and autism.

The ancient astronaut hypothesis promotes spiritual colonialism and destruction of other cultures by twisting other people's mythologies and sacred texts to fit their narratives.

The reptilian alien mythology is based on conspiracy theories historically used to justify oppressing and murdering real people. Loosh/blood/adrenochrome harvesting is just repackaged blood libel.

New Age mythology is chock full of repackaged right wing conspiracy theories, the same kind pushed by QAnon.

It's also full of repackaged racist pseudoscience about genetic superiority/inferiority and the function of evolution.

Ascension to 5D was supposed to have happened back in 2012, and the prediction failed.

New Agers are recycling their predictions over and over to catch new waves of people who don't know the movement's history.

Belief in Atlantis is strongly motivated by white supremacy.

Looks like it's time to talk about starseeds and the New Age movement again.

How the mythology of starseeds, indigo children, crystal children, rainbow children, etc. harms kids

New Age YouTube channel caught recycling claims of imminent "first contact" for three years

Is the spiritual person a conspiracy theorist? A list of red flags

What is spiritual eugenics?

New Age beliefs that derive from racist pseudoscience

RIP Mr. Erich von Däniken

A world-famous Swiss author and researcher best known for popularizing the ancient astronaut hypothesis. He passed away at the age of 90 on Saturday 1/10/2026.

I am very sad to hear of the passing of Erich von Däniken (1935–2026). The man who made millions of people look up at the stars and ask bigger questions has left us. He passed away yesterday at the age of 90.

Whatever your position on ancient astronaut theory, his impact is undeniable. Chariots of the Gods became a global phenomenon, selling in the tens of millions and sparking a worldwide conversation about human origins that continues to this day. He gave us permission to wonder.

Like many people, I first encountered him through Chariots of the Gods. But reading his subsequent work opened me to something deeper: he had a far more developed and expansive view of the ancient past than many critics ever acknowledged. Too often he was judged only through the lens of one early book, or through an old academic perception that hardened into caricature. There was much more to him than that.

He will be remembered as a pioneer, someone who walked so that others could run. Those of us who continue exploring these questions will try to carry the torch forward, toward whatever waits among the stars.

Rest well, Erich. Your questions will outlive us.

youtube narrator: why was ethiopia never successfully colonized? it must be because they really do have the ark of the covenant, and it contains ancient alien radioactive technology

sure, you know, or maybe it's possible for an african nation to kick a european invader's ass without the aid of something supernatural or of alien technology.
