This film is a comedy very loosely based on the US military's actual remote viewing training programs. It mocks the subject matter, but I'm posting it here for entertainment purposes. Don't expect any understanding of the actual history of the program or remote viewing from this film.
Is it a good film? It's not great, it's average. But worth a watch just for fun.
Russell Targ ran the remote viewing lab for the CIA and US military. Lyn Buchanan was also involved. This is not some obscure conspiracy theory. This information is widely acknowledged and well-documented with declassified documents. And it wasn't just some little failed side project. Remote viewing played a major role in US military intelligence operations for decades. Remote viewing intel was given up as high as US presidents. US presidents and the highest ranks of the military know that remote viewing is used to gather intelligence. For example, remote viewing was employed in the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, when 66 Americans were taken hostage by the Khomeini regime during the Jimmy Carter administration. This was called Project Grill Flame. Jimmy Carter was photographed holding a folder labeled "Grill Flame".
It is a fact that the CIA, US military, police departments, and large mining companies successfully employ remote viewers for espionage, counter-terrorism, counter-narcotics, criminal investigation, and mining discoveries. There is no disputing this fact. It is also a fact that psychic research is done by Russian, Chinese, and Israeli intelligence services.
Not only did the US military employ remote viewers, they created a remote viewing training program for military and intelligence officials. Hundreds of military people with top security clearances were enrolled in these training programs. This is a historical fact, not a conspiracy theory. These training programs successfully identified people with psychic abilities within the military ranks. Several extremely talented psychics were discovered and trained, and many others without talents yielded mediocre results.
Some of the world's largest mining companies have paid over $30 million dollars to a single remote viewer to help them find ore deposits. They pay $1 million dollars per remote view. Would they do that if it didn't work? Would they do it 30 times?
If you were a legit psychic you could charge $1 million per remote view. This has been done. This is a fact. So what's the catch? Why doesn't everyone do this? Because psychic abilities of such accuracy and clarity are extremely rare — a genetic gift.
I've studied this issue a lot and the research done on remote viewing is overwhelming, from many diverse sources. Remote viewing is largely a rare genetic talent — some people are exceptionally good at it — but it can also be trained up to some degree. The world's best remote viewers have an accuracy of 80%+. Yes, there is such a thing as legit psychics. Governments hire the best ones and pays them lots of money. They just don't openly talk about it because the optics of it are bad, as materialists would ridicule them because materialists are too stupid to understand metaphysics. So yes, materialist metaphysics fails to account for all these facts, which is why it is wrong. Metaphysics is not just armchair philosophy, it has empirical consequences. A wrong metaphysics fails to account for all the facts.
The only reason this stuff is not commonly known is because it cannot be explained by materialist metaphysics. That which the mind has no way to explain to itself, it denies and deems as "impossible". But once you upgrade your metaphysics all sorts of new phenomena become realistic and reasonable.
If you are interested in learning remote viewing, Lyn Buchanan offers video courses and trainings here. I have not taken his courses so I have no idea how good they are. Purchase at your own risk.
I really enjoyed this documentary.
This is entrepreneurship at Stage Purple. This is what human life was like for most of history. And it's still this way for millions today.
(Alternative link if that video is region-locked for you, but this version is missing translations of their language, which is not nearly as good.)
Prototype from game I was working on. Experiments for dynamic tail animations. Tails can move intelligently with fine-grained control, allowing for advanced dynamic creatures like snakes, worms, eels, tentacles, claws, etc.
Palmer Luckey is a brilliant tech founder. He is a Trump supporter, but he's got a great mind otherwise. I found these two interviews fascinating.
Note: I do not agree with his political views, but I don't have to to appreciate him.
