They should though. I directly link YE creationism to the beginning of the rise of all antiscience underpinnings to a lot of modern MAGA conspiracies/manipulations. Once you believe one impossible thing, like YE, then climate denial is easy to accept, and then you are ready for the Big Lie.

There is the kind of conspiracy guy who, once his trust is shattered in above board reason and those who peddle it, breaks their own ability to work thru stuff, or maybe they never had it, and so all outsider povs become more valid than ones held by insiders no matter how dumb or insipid or stupid as gently caress

My dad is in that camp and tbh i think the only reason we are on speaking terms is i actually believe in some of the same stuff, mostly what i get into itt thats not just a shitpost

I think it's a fine line to walk and most people don't have the internal rigor to keep their sanity while treading it

Yeah sadly I have to count mine in that too. After living through the real politic cold war shenanigans of the Congo Crisis (with real implications for his family) Rwanda and the western response to it broke his brain. Mind, he was always a Reason Magazine subscribing Libertarian, but now, oof.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

Linda Moulton-Howe makes me sad because after listening to her for some time it became apparent that she just cannot accept that people (most notably Doty) would lie to her. I'd like to think it's a positive quality but it comes off more as ego.

Hey yall i was trying to see the eclipse, but the weather was too poor. My girlfriend DID discover a huge loving outer range style pit in my backyard during the peak about 20 mins ago, however.

I'm not even joking i guess this house really is haunted because theres 0% chance someone just did this and sinkholes arent a normal thing for this part of the country on the top of hills and away from water lines no less

i wonder for those who work in astronomy and spend lots of time on telescopes and delving thru radio and other data if theyre reluctant to report any odd things. we have sightings from every type of person up to and including top gun types AND their supporting vids these days but we rarely seem to hear from anyone other than Loeb whose actually in the relevant space watching fields.

some of these ppl surely keep a WTF drive even if they dont wanna risk anything by investigating formally, well i like to think they do anyway

There was a recent interview where :tinylue: was being asked by students various questions about UAP. One of them wanted to know about the most typical shapes that have been seen. Lue mentioned five very common shapes, and the last one is apparently a super massive boomerang shaped craft with numerous lights. This person might have spotted one. https://www.reddit.com/r/HighStrangeness/comments/uqnvjn/sunday_14_2022_944pm_ca_sky/

Also, famously, both the Phoenix Lights and the Hudson Valley UFO sightings.

Those are cool pics though, at first glance I'm pretty baffled as to what it could be

I did a deep dive on Broad Haven awhile back, when I'm not phone-postin' I'll try and dig up what I read! Lots of weird lights, a lot of electrical disruptions, and IIRC a giant spaceman(?)

Also, if you're not already aware, tomorrow there's going to be a House public hearing on ufos tomorrow at 2 PM BST! Who knows what will (or more likely won't) be revealed, but could be interesting...

On the subject of Broad Haven, that area of Wales was pretty strange in 1977. I found the following summary of cases in a British UFO journal published in 1978, so this information was fresh:
