"presenting aliens as a priest class with ultimate control over Earth's power structures." I actually was talking about the (government / corporate special access programs / counterintelligence disclosure narratives) being the "priest class" gatekeeping the technology for everyone else, and how these "disclosure narratives" center them as (the source of confirming authentic information), it reinforces the (power dynamic / dependency) of populations toward the existing power structure (government corporate).
It also elided a lot of examples and details, but mostly captured it well I think, tho haven't gone over it in super detail.
Certainly much shorter and I think maybe cleaner than the original transcript (which I post for you here) but it loses the voice: https://pastebin.com/da726iQd
I actually don't know a good prompt to feed something long into it piece by piece and have it spit out a great, shortened, organized essay, but I'm sure something will emerge eventually.
