The origin of the dirtybenny moniker

As those of you who know me in real life, my given name is not Benjamin, Benny, or Ben. I specifically don't renounce the "dirty" characterization in any way, though. The only Benny I have ever known is Benny the Ball from Top Cat. The moniker does not refer to an obscene act or a plate of eggs. It is, in fact, a tribute to my paternal grandfather. When we were children, my grandfather did not curse. Instead of saying "that no good son of a bitch", he would say, "that no good dirtybenny." Years later as I relived my time as a child with my grandparents, I remembered that term and fondly, I rekindle it each day through this blog. I also find it revealing the that the abbreviation, db, that I use as a sigil is a reflection of itself, a palindrome. I think this indicates my Gemini sun sign.

Outstanding discussion on the illusive nature of consciousness. I particularly enjoyed the discussion of plant consciousness. As this is a mediated discussion by the New York Times, I remain extremely skeptical of these entities revealing the real truth. He never reveals the true extent of the deception happening here.

I present this to the readers of this blog as an alternative to my model of this reality. Michelle treats this place as "real" which I do not embrace. I am more in synch with Matt of QOC...this place isn't real. It is an illusion. My revelation occurred when I realized that "the" sun and moon were local apparitions to my physical body. I was on the phone with FF in Florida thousands of miles away and "the" sun appeared local to both of us. I had the same experience with my Mom when she was still here in Oregon while I was on the East cost. We simultaneously perceived "the" sun as local to our physical bodies. https://dirtybennywrites.blogspot.com/2024/02/technology-has-revealed-simulation.html https://dirtybennywrites.blogspot.com/2023/11/is-your-sun-and-moona-local-phenomenon.html
AI as Alien Intelligence: Jacques Vallée and the Techno-Terrestrial Threshold

For years, Jacques Vallée has pushed back against the idea that the UFO phenomenon can be explained by simple extraterrestrial visitation. His work consistently pointed toward something more complex: intelligence operating through systems, belief, perception, and long-term influence rather than arrival and contact. That is why his recent clarification matters. Following comments made at the James Fox–hosted Varginha press conference, Vallée described the phenomenon as “an extraterrestrial phenomenon empowered by advanced artificial intelligence.” In a subsequent email exchange, he explained that this does not contradict his earlier views. The models are not mutually exclusive. Vallée suggests that entities reported in cases such as Trinity, Socorro, Valensole, and Varginha may be artificial biological constructs, designed to operate in Earth’s environment and interact with us indirectly. These are not the intelligence itself, but intermed...
