Mr. Hellyer, I'm going to post these questions also as a top level comment, as a private message and and through all of the websites you listed you are on I WANT THESE QUESTIONS ANSWERED and I want to make sure you see them.

I REALLY want to believe you are telling the truth, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Additionally, your quote below makes me skeptical of the legitimacy of this entire AMA:

They also enhanced my ability to communicate telepathically.

Is this a "natural" telepathic communication without any technology? Or did you elect to receive implants devices to enable you to do so? (To be fair, the latter actually sounds plausible, even with today's technology.)

My remaining questions are as follows:

1: Why haven't these species publicly announced their existence? Is it a galactic rule to avoid broad contact with an alien species until they reach a certain point of technological advancement on their own in order to preserve their own culture? Are we being "quarantined" because we are too violent? Are the human governments withholding their existence on their own for their own motives? If so what would those motives be?

2: Why haven't they shared their technology? (Faster than light travel, efficient energy production, etc.) If according to your wiki you say they don't believe we are good stewards of our planet (which is entirely agreeable) then why don't they help us?

3: According to your Wiki page, you claim some of these species are living on Mars, Venus, and one of Saturn's moons, so why haven't we found evidence of their habitats?

4: Have you met them in person or seen pictures of them? Are they all humanoid (ie bipedal, head on shoulder, two eyes, two arms, two legs, etc.) Or are some pf them wildly different in biology like oh say the Rachni from Mass Effect? If they are all humanoid, then what traits of a humanoid biology make it so special that it's the only body type that can allow for a technologically advanced species?

5: Can we eat the same food as any of them? If so, are they able to eat as huge of a range of foods as us humans? (A highly underrated ability of ours, IMO.) I am a huge foodie, so if this is all true and if we can eat their food, I would be in heaven.

6: I'm led to assume that if you are openly talking about this on Reddit, then that would mean that their existence is unclassified, because otherwise you'd be thrown in prison for the next ten years. Why is this unclassified, yet the governments won't talk about this?

Since it looks like I got your attention:

1: why haven't they broadcasted themselves over any of our TV stations, or websites, or contacted any of the major news stations to fully announced their existence to the public? EDIT: If they announce their existence to the public, and publicly offered to everyone that they are willing to share their technology with us if we get rid of our nuclear stockpiles, then perhaps massive public opinion might force our politicians to do so. Based on how popular the responses are regarding extraterrestrial life, assuming that you are telling the truth of course, I think that Community is more ready to join this supposed Intergalactic Community than what many may think.

2A: Is the fact that we have our nukes the main reason they haven't interacted with us fully? If so, then why aren't they aware of the fact that probably the best way to convince us to get rid of our nukes, is to begin economically and technologically interacting with us in order to gain our trust and prove to us that they in fact have peaceful intentions?

2B: Have they taken notice of the fact that we actually HAVE made significant progress towards peace, and in fact we are living in our species most peaceful era yet, despite what the mass media likes to mention?

3: What are the types of technology they employ in use of their faster-than-light travel technology? Warp drives? Wormhole generators? Alcubierre Drives? Woodward Effect-based engines? Something else?

The problem is Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world; that quarter teaspoon that the recipe calls for will cost about $4.50

Fun Fact: Iran exports roughly 90% of all Saffron, so honestly I'm not surprised that OP likes it.

In all seriousness, though, if we did have that natural ability and he did reply to me, I would have edited the above post with summaries of the responses.

EDIT: However, if we did have that natural ability, I have no idea of knowing how to tell the difference between my own thoughts and someone else's.
