Lumen? Ignoring evidence to fuel his unnecessary panic? No, it couldn't be.

Im not ignoring evidence at all. The Times article says some doubt the alleged artist made the monolith. How is that denying evidence?

Wrong artist. That guy denied it, but then some other guys claimed responsibility.

Some people doubt Biden won the election, does that mean he hasn't?

There are always going to be people to doubt things, Lumen.

How do you monetize random monoliths from across the world? No artist has even claimed credit as of now.
