Hey there! Thanks so much for doing this AMA. My master's thesis last year (in data science) utilized social media data of users engaged with the Secret Space Program/Super Soldier conspiracy theory online. I recall coming across your name last Summer while I was in the thick of it! :)
So, my question(s):
It appeared to me that individuals identifying as starseeds, indigo children, etc. could gain quite a bit of clout and influence within their communities.
Any insight from your work on how such individuals rise to prominence? Is this similar to how other religious figures (such as prophets) have formed historically? Any notion as to why certain ideas gain traction (e.g., arcturians, blue avians) vs others?
Aside from your new book, are there any other works/scholars you'd recommend for those interested in learning more about this area?
