Yeah, being a "data professional" doesn't guarantee that you aren't a conspiracy-snorting crazy person, even if you manage to get through daily life.

I am a data analyst and work with others, including one who is "normal" in any way you can define....until one day he started in about covid vaccines and depopulation and Bill Gates and 5G. I was gobsmacked. It was the type of shit my relative would say off his meds (and sadly he has severe schizophrenia). I thought it was a joke but he managed to convince me that yes, he seriously believes garbage like that.

I met other people who were convinced that hospitals were empty during covid, that doctors were taking government money in some kind of scam. Tell that to my brother and others I know who were working overtime in area ICUs risking their lives, you simpleminded ignorant fucks.
Yup. I managed someone in IT that was great at their job until one day a conspiracy theory led them down a path that ended up involving the national media, FBI, threats against me & others, media training and a court case I followed very closely

I think the only thing that disproves "lizard" people (or any other type of alien presence quietly living amongst us) is that if one them eventually dies why aren't anomalous bodies with strange anatomies found in hospitals or by morticians? Surely one of them has to have been found somewhere in the world by now.

The lizard people have been taking over planets for half a billion years and have adapted to all manner of contingencies. They have thoroughly adapted thousands of earlier detections and have evolved countecounter-measures to them including the one you suggestged. I am not at liberty to tell you what it is as that could blow my own cover which is to serve mankind.

Im a science fiction fan and watch all versions of Star Trek. In one episode two humans are caught by a pre-warp civilization. They were there to retrieve lost technology. Since they did not want to contaminate the culture with proof of alien existence they confessed to being spies. Eventually they are discovered to have organs in the wrong place and iron based blood, which to that civ would be poisenous. They then claimed to be artifically created military prototype soldiers and were therefore sentenced to execution before being rescued.

It was a good episode:


Because the bodies of the lizard people were retrieved by people from the future, so they wouldn't be found in hospitals or by morticians.

We are still talking about Star Trek, right?

I visit another forum that has 3 or 4 members that believe every conspiracy out there. They are absolutely steadfast and unshakeable. Space lasers burning Maui, Biden is a clone of the real Biden, Trump is still the president and running the country from the shadows, the U.S. is a corporation that owns all of us, aliens living on the back side of the moon, mind control nanobots in vaccines, and the military is going to take over the nation and install Trump as president.

They're all successful businessmen, and they get really pissed of at me when I have a little fun at their expense.

That degree of idiot self-certainty is scary.

Puts me in mind of that old Caucasian Spiritual:

Oh, blinding light!
Oh! Light that blinds
I cannot see
Look out for me.

The lizard people conspiracy is just antisemitism on acid. Invariably, the lizard people are jews.

Never heard that one. Seems like not having the whole reptile thing going on would lead one to think there was no connection.
Or maybe there shouldn't be any thinking involved.
