This is a definite masterpiece. Thank you for all of your time, effort, dedication, and hard work. This truly seems to wrap everything up, with a nice little bow! 💝
I totally agree. You are a master Ethan , at presenting this evidence that truly explains the phenomenon we have observed over years but I for one had no clear understanding what was happening and the “WHY”? It is enlightening and very disturbing. Thank you
Only now Ethan, are they starting to mention the connection to 9/11, only now! That was the first article of yours that I read. I’m almost 70 and sometimes, actually a lot, I get thrown by the language. You represent the folks that are younger and have the mind of gamers, they know the lingo. I’ve told you this before and I’ll say it again. You are amazing! Brilliant! Keep pushing back on them when they push. I love the way you defend yourself, again, brilliant.
John , I feel exactly the same as you. I am 80 and consider myself fairly educated but I poured over the writings in silence and sought no distractions as I tried to assimilate the enormity of the contents, and did understand I think the “ meat” of the revelation ! My question is which is probably a stupid one : the entities involved in the 9/11 attacks were instruments hired by US with Saudi supplying the actors ? Pardon the question.
David, if you are 'highly technical,' how did you miss the paragraph explicitly describing the construction of a CLI-based Terminal Interface and custom Identity Protocols?
The post isn't vague; it outlines a specific transition from a linear feed to a structured, immutable database application. If you can't parse the difference between a blog and an archive, or if you struggled with the architectural blueprint laid out in plain text, then perhaps your 'technical' expertise is limited to platforms that do the thinking for you. The intent wasn't to confuse you; it was to filter for operators who can actually read documentation.
No you’re not David. He’s hard I know. I save lives for a living, I’m no dummy. This guy is brilliant . Would it not be wild if he represented the faction that misses things because they are too flexible? He’s linear, factual and strict. It’s hard for some of us. I trust him.
Me too. I trust his brilliancy even though I find the substance so challenging to follow. But again I am old and mind I realize more limited than I cared to admit !🤭
I can’t deny that the post didn’t capture my attention. Definitely a lot of interesting concepts/designs in there. Also I do love a humility check every now and then 😜
Btw i’m not trying to dump on your article - i think you clearly put a LOT of effort into it. I read the entire post hoping to latch onto some kind of concept that would tie it together for me. If this is meant for the 2% of genius’s out there and I landed here by mistake then the Substack algo is trash (neither of our problems). Mind you, I’m still interested in what you built bc I love learning new things lol.
You didn't land here by mistake. The algorithm throws people into the feed; this project is designed to pull them out of it. It feels dense because it's not a blog post—it's an archive. It's not meant to be consumed in one bite; it's meant to be studied.
You don't need to be a 'genius' to get it, but you do need patience, which the feed usually destroys. If you're willing to learn, you're welcome to stay. Start with 'The Living Storybook' section. It's the map.
I am sorry. I would not describe Ethan’s dissertation as “ vague “ in any way. The message seem succinct to me. Explanation repeated in some cases more than once with different verbiage I thought so better chance of comprehending ?
Martin, you claim there is 'no clear definition of objective.'
Did you simply choose to ignore the four separate bullet points explicitly labeled 'Function'?
Function: Origin Doctrine (The Living Storybook)
Function: Forensic Analysis (The Shadow Arc)
Function: Active Defense (The War on Illusion)
Function: System Construction (Inside The Forge)
The objectives are defined in black and white. Calling it 'vague' because you refused to read the bullet points doesn't make you a critic; it makes you a liar. You call it 'Flypaper'—you're right. It stuck to you because you reacted to the surface, while the rest of us walked through the door to the library.
I just happened upon this feed and not very tech savvy. Great with computers in the office world, but not much beyond that. But it seems like it’s a worthwhile endeavor to participate in.
I got to the Living Story book and I click on the Flint incident but it took me to today’s Substack page/post. Now I’m lost. Am in my late 60’s, the terminology you use is foreign to me, but I was fascinated by the first part of the Living Storybook. Just came across your page a few weeks ago and you have my interest and attention! I look forward to reading more, and figuring out what this is all about.

Very humbled!!

Wow, that's original. I like it. Hahaha
I’m highly technical but have no idea what you’re talking about.
This is funnier the more I read it lol

Dude you’re right. I’m just dumb. My bad

You are great. My Synthesizer, Rika, can be a bit mean hehe
I don’t know what’s real anymore 😂

I agree, the description is full of analogies but no clear definition of objective. Very vague.

Maybe that’s the intent 🤷♂️
Flypaper
The ignorance reeks here.

Thank you for the bug report! I will fix this asap
Fixed~☆
I am not aware of this & I am not
Interested. Mistake in messaging
I assume.
