Forum Borealis and Skeptiko: a year of unexpected hope. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In Skeptiko episode 650… the landscape of alternative media may have just shifted as a new regime promises freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and an open season on truth. No one is in a better position to understand this transition than Al Borealis, creator of Forum Borealis, a &#8220;paradigm expanding variety podcast&#8221; that since 2015 has conducted deep-dive interviews exploring everything from consciousness and esoteric philosophy to geopolitics and breakaway civilizations. This end-of-year conversation between Al and veteran podcaster Alex Tsakiris (Skeptiko) offers a Roundup of 2024 and a realistic look at what may lie ahead. 
 
 
 
1. Are we already seeing less censorship? 
 
 
 
Alex notes: 
 
 
 
 
&#8220;Anyone who doesn&#8217;t see that tide changing is just not paying attention&#8230; the content that you can get, all the issues that you and I have wanted to talk about are there in one form or another, and they&#8217;re getting hundreds of thousands or millions of views.&#8221; 
 
 
 
 
2. The Role of AI in Truth-Seeking 
 
 
 
Both hosts bring their extensive experience in investigative podcasting to bear on AI&#8217;s potential. Alex, with his characteristic directness: 
 
 
 
 
&#8220;AI is the debate&#8230; I want AI to play that role and just calmly dispassionately say, &#8216;no, that&#8217;s bullshit.&#8217; 
 
 
 
 
Al, drawing on his background exploring consciousness and esoteric philosophy, offers a more nuanced take: 
 
 
 
 
&#8220;AI can take it apart and reassemble it again into a new thing&#8230; but it can never become sentient because from the outset, it has certain boundaries it cannot cross.&#8221; 
 
 
 
 
3. Deep State 
 
 
 
The conversation exemplifies Forum Borealis&#8217;s commitment to exploring hidden aspects of world events. 
 
 
 
 
&#8220;It&#8217;s like discovering a secret door in the back of your bank vault&#8230; You may not be able to prove they ever stole any money… but that’s missing the point.&#8221; 
 
 
 
 
4. UFO Disclosure and Geopolitics 
 
 
 
Drawing on his years covering breakaway civilizations and advanced technology, Al offers a penetrating analysis of recent UFO developments: 
 
 
 
 
&#8220;If they want this on the agenda, it means it&#8217;s not a truth agenda&#8230; There&#8217;s some other reason why they want this topic cleaned up. Let&#8217;s start reporting on it more seriously, let&#8217;s start having politicians and hearings on this.&#8221; 
 
 
 
 
This dialogue between two veterans of alternative media illuminates how far the movement has come while highlighting new challenges ahead. The vindication of previously &#8220;fringe&#8221; topics serves as both validation and warning &#8211; validation of the careful research done by independent media over the years, and warning that mainstream narratives should always be approached with careful skepticism.
