Do you support disclosure?

Personally, I think disclosure by governments confirming the existence of non-human intelligence as well as admitting there was recovered craft and biological material would be really cool, but I also think the cover ups actually make sense and that it's probably for the best to never have any disclosure. Even Bob Lazar I think said on Joe Rogan he regrets coming forward and said this stuff should probably be secret!

Now I believe the ufos are demonic and / or fallen angels related, but even if they weren't and are actually from another planet, it seems like the reality is less like Star Trek and more like some trippy mind-bending thing anyway. It's probably for the best the public never knows the truth and never has anything confirmed, even though it's extremely interesting. The reality may involve something very dark and unnerving to society that hurts the economy without yielding any positive outcomes... otherwise why would the secrets be so intensely protected and intensely troubling to folks who know them?

Even if the main reason the ufo truth is kept secret is due to something more mundane like countries wanting to keep advanced tech from each other in an arms race or not wanting to undermine "too big to fail" institutions, there too is merit in keeping it secret even for reasons along those lines.

Folks instead of pushing for disclosure should think of the message of the film "Men in Black" and encourage the government to better hide the truth from us, rather than reveal it! Clearly, whoever is supposed to be keeping this under wraps has not been doing their job effectively lately! Unless all this recent disclosure is of course part of the plan...

What do you think, however?

What are your thoughts on the em dash?

Personally, I am not a fan of the em dash. I think it's too powerful a piece of punctuation with its ability (correctly or incorrectly) to successfully function as a comma, semi-colon, colon, parenthesis, ellipses, and / or general container for all manner of sentence fragments. Whenever I've tried writing with an em dash saved to a shortcut or clipboard for easy typing, my writing has ended up sloppy and clunky—there are indeed times and places for the em dash rarely I suppose, but too often its overuse leads to undisciplined and stringy prose!

What are your thoughts, however? Are you more a fan of this piece of punctuation? Does its commonality in AI outputs affect your attitude?
