I don't like the term 'crackpot' for someone who's earnestly trying to figure out the mysteries of life and the universe. But, well, "the first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.", said some guy.
The solution appears to follow a numerology path: perform arbitrary transformations until you get something which coincides with what you wanted to find.
That said there was a concrete prediction: a star 3x Proxima, or 12.7 ly. A concrete direction, or constellation even, would have been nice to call out; maybe an archeologist could identify a mythical constellation from all the icons in there. Anyhoo, there are several well known planetary systems around 12 ly, including Teegarden's, Luyten's, etc.
Impossibly, unbelievably stupid. On the level of the Bible Code. The Mayans were not visited by aliens. This is so dumb. What is this doing on this site???
This is art. I think this community has the capacity to understand what the author is believing and evaluate the, uh, credibility for ourselves. We can all appreciate it as a deep dive into a completely bonkers line of reasoning. Talking about it also helps us all understand our own versions of this pattern. Enjoy the beauty and relax.
No, no. Can’t do that. Meeting aliens, or “gods”, was only the most transformative event of their history, one that shook their cultural foundations to the core. You wouldn’t engrave that for posterity and for all to know, right? You would devise some fairly stupid encoding scheme with the hope of fooling everyone in the future, hoping that a delusional blog writer from 2023 deciphers it. Now _that_ makes sense.

Heh, what a fun read.

This is a conspiracy theory in a fancy web animation.
