Ugh. I have been with him for over a year, and I didn't know he even had an interest in any of this until a few weeks ago. One night he just started watching videos and documentaries on alien abductions and "greys" and "hybrids" and "reptilians", and then he started watching the Mythi videos. I'm not going to try and have him committed for it.

Ma'm, it pains me to say this, but your fellow appears to have become obsessed. And by that I dont mean a passing fad that he will shake off. Obsessive disorders can be harmless, but they can also have a darker side. Chronic schizophrenia can often be misdiagnosed as obsessive compulsive disorder, or ADD, and this can be hereditary. It often manifests in late puberty, or early adulthood. It can become dangerous when the psychotic element shows itself. Thankfully, this disorder can be treated with medication at that point, but it is recomended that one takes extreme care about such things.
With any psychological disorder there is the element of the unexpected, so even though your man might not precisely conform to the path I have outlined, it is still reasonable to assume that he has lost some vital element of his mental underpinning.
I do not say that because he has prepared himself for the possibility of high strangeness and danger. God knows the world is a worrying place enough to take almost any precaution against the trials it sends upon us. However, be wary, and consider getting professional assistance in this matter, I urge you most strongly.

STOP! Right there.
Get your boyfriend some serious help, instead of looking to ATS for help.
Is something wrong with you for not seeking logical help. first?
In other words to we have to read that some doomsday nut took you out with him?
Pack your bags, and run!
He didn't "take me out". Ugh. I have been with him for over a year, and I didn't know he even had an interest in any of this until a few weeks ago. One night he just started watching videos and documentaries on alien abductions and "greys" and "hybrids" and "reptilians", and then he started watching the Mythi videos. I'm not going to try and have him committed for it. I posted on here to see what people on ATS thought about these stupid Mythi videos.

Hello,
I would like to calm you by saying that your boyfriend is by no means insane, in fact he is onto something very important. He will most likely not be able to stop collecting information until he reaches a critical point where he realizes all of the answers are within himself.
If you would like for your boyfriend to calm down a little bit faster, I would suggest hinting to him to acquire information by the the social memory complex known as Ra.

There's nothing to fear because nothing will happen , 21st Dec will come and go with the only difference to the 22nd being its one day closer to Christmas and there's shopping still to be done .
All that occurs in this universe is related to the singularity thus not even our thoughts are free (random).
In a kind of spooky experiment, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences reveal that our decisions are made seconds before we become aware of them. In the study, participants could freely decide if they wanted to press a button with their right or left hand.
By monitoring the micro patterns of activity in the frontopolar cortex, the researchers could predict which hand the participant would choose 7 SECONDS before the participant was aware of the decision. “Your decisions are strongly prepared by brain activity. By the time consciousness kicks in, most of the work has already been done,” said study co-author John-Dylan Haynes, a Max Planck Institute neuroscientist.
