I'm pretty much with you, but one thing that I've thought about is that automated probes and flesh and blood visitors aren't mutually exclusive. In fact, the first makes the second more likely, not less; the presence of automated probes proves that a) there is other intelligent life out there and b) they have an interest in us. If both of those things are true, then (provided some form of warp drive is actually possible) it would be entirely possible for a civilization to send long term automated probes, then follow up much later after the probes had made the trip the long, slow way with manned craft using more recent technology - or, of course, for there just to be different civilizations at different levels.

It's not a guarantee, because only one of those two scenarios uses technology that we know is possible, but it's certainly not worth ruling out entirely.

edit: Bonus dumb speculation: Actually all three are true, and the aliens are as weirded out by high strangeness as we are. "Oh poo poo, you guys get bigfeet too??"

Yet another world of giant apes that doesn't turn out to be the Sasquatch home world.

I have a similar thing going on sometimes. My most recent one is an alternate reality version of the bay area, with a very specific street that i always end up walking down, lined with commercial buildings. It's always the middle of the night, and the end goal is always the same: take a bus home. But the details of what i do are different every time (sometime i'll go inside a building, get some food, whatever), and while dreaming i remember the previous dreams in the same setting and think "oh i'm here again". So far I always wake up from that dream world before i get home.

Same here. I've got dream places that I keep returning to. Occasionally I'll go lucid and realise mid-dream that I've been there before, but usually that makes me wake up.

Does anyone else get serial dreams? Where you keep returning to the same place and there's a story that develops over multiple nights? Sometimes I get them in multiple nights in a row, other times I'll return to a storyline months or years later.

writing career politicians about issues that they/their owners are ideologically opposed to, such as relieving the pressure of capital’s boot upon the necks of the working class, is a waste of time as they will not and/or cannot do anything about that

this whole ufo thing is about as bipartisan and outside the borders of contemporary political reality as it gets, and so is an issue on which public opinion and appeals to reason may actually work

just look at the support for gillibrands bill

When my representative was a Republican I tried to argue that it "took Nixon to go to China" with respect to Universal Health Care. It...didn't get a response other than to get my email added to a bunch of right wing lists, but it was still a lot of fun to write it, and cathartic as a result

Canadians like to project the stereotype of obsessive politeness but our true national identity is one of mindless and unearned smugness mixed with extreme small-c conservatism

That said I still instinctually apologize to people when they bump into me

Hi all. Thanks for the best bird discussion around.

Wanted to share some old favorites.

The ancient, abandoned blog Rigorous Intuition: rigint.blogpsot.com

Most of his writing is more suited for the Epstein thread, and it's unsourced, but he's a good storyteller. The Brazil post is a favoite:

https://rigint.blogspot.com/search?q=brazil

quote:

Brazil is different. In Brazil, UFOs maim and kill with purpose and intelligence. Do you remember the "chupas," refrigerator-sized barrels or boxes skimming roofs and treetops, shooting concentrated beams of radiation at hunters and villagers? Vallee has traveled to the region and interviewed survivors and witnesses. One doctor he spoke to had seen no fewer than 35 patients, all telling the same story of being struck by beams of intense white light and exhibiting similar burns and symptoms of dizziness, headaches, numbness and anemia. Vallee writes in Confrontations that:

Nobody has ever ridiculed these people. Their intelligence has never been insulted by the pundits of the New York Times or the arbiters of rationalism of Le Monde. They speak in simple, direct ways about what they saw. The admit to being scared, and when they speak about illness and death it is in the same calm, even voice with which one speaks about the reality of all the mysteries around us.

So if you see a UFO in Brazil, best to hide.

some guy was talking about the men who stare at goats, which isn’t the same as this thread

however, the concept of NDT brain coming from people who believe in garbage psychology studies from the 60s and think Daryl Bem “ruffled feathers” is laughable. there’s interesting stuff happening but some of you need to be a bit more discerning, because a complete unfamiliarity with the very basics is a recipe to get fooled by charlatans like Bem and people who sell videotapes in popular mechanics. this is one thing I do understand and can talk about. a charlatan among psychologists is extra special, because you need to be in that league to be a successful psychologist to begin with.

unsurprisingly it’s the anarchists who make a beeline to the trashiest scientists there are, because they love the smell of trash. distorted ideas about the government go hand in hand.

if you want to talk about stuff outside this thread, it be cool if some of you spent more time reading about Chinese people rather than grays — the one aggro guy Kramers into other threads to talk about how much he hates the Chinese. there’s a lot of overlap between mysticism and racist ideas, ultimately stemming from idealism (also the source of anarchism). these are separable from birdwatching.
