I rarely look at YouTube because I consider YouTube to be one of the many, many enemies of 21st Century writers. People go to You Tube to mezz out in front of a video screen and not to read. If they read anything there it’s mostly horribly written comments by You Tubers who have no clue whatsoever about grammar or spelling or manners.
Anyway, I was there at YouTube the other day, just to see what all the fuss is all about. I searched You Tube for topics like aliens, UFOs, political conspiracies, outer space, and so on. Most of what I got after searching was collection after collection of nonsensical videos faking the reality of everything I was looking for. After a while, I came to the conclusion that YouTube is a website for people who want to post fake videos and videos with no redeeming social value whatsoever. I really wasn’t surprised, considering the state of the world today.
But I happened on to one video that made me want to bookmark the page. It’s sort of an explanation of a vision I had as a teenager, watching the summer night sky in my Pennsylvania back yard. Around 1968 or so.
I didn't swallow this doomsday theory hook, line and sinker when I saw the video on YouTube. Doomsday stuff just makes me tired. But this one at least made me think. I'd post the link to this video but YouTube removed it for "violation of terms of service".
Unh, hunh. Right.
Anyway, here's the link to a previous Thinck Tank posting about this subject. It was posted months before I ever ran into a YouTube video about it and forty years after I experienced a vision about it:
The YouTube Video was about a cosmological phenomenon called Nibiru. However, I do not subscribe to the veracity of the website from which this video originates because I'm basically immune to the hype surrounding so-called biblical prophecy.
Still, you can well imagine my surprise when I saw this video on July 8, 2008, after all these years with that 1968 memory still intact. And I thought I’d take the time to share this experience with you, right here at Thinck Tank.
You never know.
