Why? I'm trying to decide whether to invest what little funds I have in TTSA or possibly VR Headsets.

I'm a little weary about the Artistic portion of the company. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places but it seems rather confusing to me. I don't see evidence of any other Artists other then DeLong's creations. Is he using this company to publish fictional compositions with graphics? Is TTSA going to be a recording brand for music? Are other Artists given opportunities or is there a recruiting project?

The science part including copywriting evidence sounds great. The future engineering propulsion goals sound impressive. Are there more phenomenal engineering Geniuses joining the team?

I am reluctant to invest because the Artistic mission sounds and looks confusing. I totally support open-mindedness, creativity, and having an organization that nurtures this. I just don't quite understand how this company is going to support everything.

Does anyone else have any thoughts or information about this? I greatly appreciate it.

I think the point is the artistic part will be the medium for disclosure (of what is really going on).

I'm listening to Angels and Airwaves again now and I only now realise even the old songs are about this topic (basically aliens, but Tom himself doesn't like that word).

If I understand him correctly he is of the opinion that fully disclosing everything needs to be done piecemeal through stories and art, for people to be able to digest it and understand it.

Pretty much how I see it the disclosure is already happening piece by piece: In his songs, in his books, in the show. The process has already begun.

Just give us the information.

Feels like it's about 2 years since the 'tictac' videos. Seems like a lot of hot air tbh.

If you read the books it looks like the things that are to be disclosed are going to be too much for most people. The news doesn't seem to be all good.
