Noticing a pattern (people who went to SOL Foundation Conference)

Ok, I have noticed a real tone change in people who were at the SOL Foundation Conference. I've listened to several podcasts where people are recounting their conference attendance experiences and also noticing a shift in both tone and how much background they will divulge.

• solemn to a person... even Dave Foley was having a hard time with levity

• on Spaced Out Radio Dr. Michael Masters (did not attend conf. afaik) discussed an abduction experience that he had previously related in a very somber way... sounded like a man who knew this sounded crazy but wanted it out there (is this a mental health crisis or a person who knows his revelation will make sense to everyone soon?)

" the Good Trouble recount was very serious and Matt Ford discussed how he was involved in getting a document into the congressional record, something he'll cover in a future episode

• is it just me or have insiders become much more serious lately? It really seems like a change in tone, an increase in sharing details on things they would have only hinted at before, and generally a greater sense if urgency to bring the general public up to speed...

Thoughts?
