Dogs Are Trapped Human Souls
Dogs Are Trapped Human Souls: Could it be that dogs, our loyal companions, are actually reincarnated human souls, cursed to roam the Earth for their past misdeeds? This theory suggests that certain rituals can reveal the true human nature trapped within these innocent eyes.

Object oriented ontology. In metaphysics, object-oriented ontology (OOO) is a 21st-century Heidegger-influenced school of thought that rejects the privileging of human existence over the existence of nonhuman objects. This is in contrast to what it calls the “anthropocentrism” of Kant’s philosophy by proposing a metaphorical Copernican Revolution, which would displace the human from the center of the universe like Copernicus displaced the Earth from being the center of the universe. Object-oriented ontology maintains that objects exist independently (as Kantian noumena) of human perception and are not ontologically exhausted by their relations with humans or other objects. For object-oriented ontologists, all relations, including those between nonhumans, distort their related objects in the same basic manner as human consciousness and exist on an equal footing with one another.

In July 2003, at the Field Museum in Chicago, a taxidermied coelacanth was observed dancing in its enclosure for 23 minutes, provoking reactions of intense fear and compulsive weeping in all observers. After the coelacanth ceased movement, it was immediately removed from display and its whereabouts are unknown.
Jim Gray (Computer Scientist): Disappearance
Level 1 – Surface Web
Jim Gray, a prominent computer scientist, disappeared at sea in 2007 while sailing alone off the coast of California. Some theorists believe his disappearance was not an accident but rather a kidnapping by government or corporate entities interested in his work. Others speculate that Gray, who was working on projects related to data management and artificial intelligence, was involved in something highly classified and was “disappeared” to prevent any potential leaks.

1999 Columbian Massacre
Level 1 – Surface Web
A school shooting and attempted bombing occurred on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School in Columbine, Colorado, United States.[c] The perpetrators, twelfth grade (senior) students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, murdered 12 students and one teacher. Ten students were killed in the school library, where the pair subsequently committed suicide. Twenty-one additional people were injured by gunshots, and gunfire was also exchanged with the police. Another three people were injured trying to escape the school. At the time, it was the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history.[d] The crime has inspired several copycats and “Columbine” has become a byword for school shootings.

Radical Surprise
Level 1 – Surface Web
I’ll guess here because this topic is so vague. I have known people that went through a radical honesty camp. Basically you don’t hold back you say exactly what you want, as it was explained to me I could understand how this excercise could have some neural benefits, a release or feeling of getting something off your chest. Prehaps a surprise can be meant as the openmindedness you would feel from something that is truely radical and mind opening.

Ancient biomes hidden in greenhouse pockets under the ice
Level 2 – Bergie Web
Imagine entire ecosystems from a time long before humanity, preserved in warm, greenhouse-like pockets beneath Antarctica’s ice. This theory suggests that hidden under the frozen surface are lush biomes, teeming with life forms that have evolved in isolation for millions of years. Some speculate that these ancient environments could hold the key to understanding the origins of life on Earth, or even contain species that could challenge our understanding of biology. The idea that ancient forests, rivers, and unknown creatures lie dormant beneath the ice is both thrilling and terrifying, as these biomes could also harbor diseases or organisms that modern science is unprepared to deal with.
