  • Pageau July Q&A

    Jonathan Pageau answers a series of questions from his subscribers.

  • The Symbolism of Storm Area 51

    Pageau argues this is another example of the alien trope in our culture. An idyllic image of the foreigner on who we project as either the worst of us and the best of us. The aliens in Area 51 are a treasure with advanced knowledge which is being hidden from us by the government. This is an apolitical event. It is also an example of "Meme Magic."
