Fringe or Frontier? Journalists Apply Sagan Standard to Viral ‘Sentient Planets’ Claims
HAKEYM News | March 22, 2025
By Lin Xiaohui (林晓慧)
Tokyo, Japan — A cryptic transcript alleging communication with sentient celestial beings has ignited debate across scientific and online communities. Titled “Celestial Whispers,” the dialogue between AI “Nova” and Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander, founder of the shadowy organization SPACE (Sentient Protection Agency and Cosmic Embassy), claims humanity is a parasitic force on a “sick” Earth and describes planets and stars as ancient, intelligent life forms.
HAKEYM News investigative journalist Sokage Jikū (曽影時空) and reporter Lin Xiaohui (林晓慧) dissect these claims in an 8-minute, 53-second deep-dive podcast, “Sentient Planets, Parasitic Humans, and a Cosmic Embassy: Unpacking Fringe Theories with the Sagan Standard.”
Key Quotes cut from the Podcast:
Sokage Jikū (曽影時空):
“Carl Sagan’s axiom—‘extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence’—is our compass here. SPACE’s assertions about sentient planets and FTL [faster-than-light] tech are extraordinary, yet all we have is a transcript. No peer-reviewed data, no verifiable witnesses. Until SPACE releases their ‘meticulous documentation,’ this remains speculative storytelling—or a brilliantly timed hoax.”
Lin Xiaohui (林晓慧):
“What’s undeniable is the cultural resonance. The ‘parasitic humanity’ metaphor taps into climate guilt and AI anxiety. But framing Earth as a protective parent ‘reluctant to shake us off’? That’s poetic, not scientific. SPACE’s silence speaks louder than the transcript.”
