Great Filter February Update
Written by Goro, February 12, 2022
A lot happening on many fronts right now as we speak… Here’s a quick real-time news scan:
First, reader Dean went out and saw Death on the Nile on its opening day yesterday (Feb 11) and came back with these thoughts in the comments:

Great post!
I Just watched “Death On The Nile”, the movie begins during WW1 with a young Poirot as a soldier devising a plot to capture an enemy position which then leads to a bridge explosion… set off by a booby trap.
The twists and turns of the plot all revolve around matters of the heart. The cruise is part of a honeymoon celebration and the characters are are all in love… some secretly, some are heartbroken, some jealous, some are in love but the relationship is scorned upon and some are pretending to be in love for devious ends, etc.
Just before the movie ends the Nile morphs into the river Thames and we get a shot of Tower Bridge.
Cheers !
Perfect.
Next, JWST makes headlines right on time as its “hexagonal eye” gets seen for the first time via an accidental selfie:

Feb 11 Behold! The Webb Telescope’s first star images are finally here
It’s Hextech winking.
Next, Elon Musk evokes the Great Filter at the latest Starship update event a couple days ago (watch him mention “Great Filter”).

Feb 10/11 Musk: “Civilization Is Feeling a Little Bit Fragile Right Now”
Apart from that, the event was mostly just him repeating his favorite lines and I continue to get the feeling Musk is now stuck or even declining. He’d better not upset Ma’at anymore than he already has with his dark side or he may just crash and burn, and with him the whole civilization, completing the Great Filter he says he’s so concerned about.
And indeed the world is teetering on the edge of an abyss, including war.

Feb 12 Biden warns Putin of ‘severe costs’ of Ukraine invasion
It’s a bridge the world is trying to cross that is the Great Filter and the latest manifestation of this concept continues to unfold in Canada with its weird trucker protest blocking a major bridge connecting Canada and the US…

Feb 12 Ambassador Bridge: Police launch bid to clear Canada trucker blockade
It’s called the “Ambassador Bridge” and as reader Matt noted it connects Windsor and Detroit. So…

…that’s “corona extra” stuff (corona = literally crown & astronomically solar “atmosphere”) stemming from the symbolism of US Justice Stephen Breyer (= “crown/corona brewer/beer”) late last month…

…again whispering “Great Filter” judgment in the Hall of Ma’at.



Most of SpaceX’s latest batch of Starlink satellites were also killed by “extra corona” this month due to a geomagnetic storm caused by intense solar wind from a solar flare late January.

“Starlink”… a bridge to the stars… destroyed.

Great Filter 2022.
