In regard to human expansion beyond Earth, this session will identify common limiting assumptions around 1) the nation-state system as currently configured and 2) global capitalism and other scarcity-based economic structures in practice today. The session will outline alternatives to both in the forms of 1) cultural bio-regions and 2) abundance-based synergistic interchange respectively. Within these two broad integrated contexts, the UFO/UAP coverup-discovery dynamic since 1947 will be addressed in response to ongoing contributions to UFOlogy among Richard Dolan, Michio Kaku and Jeremy Corbell.
