"Man's unfailing capacity to believe what he prefers to be true rather than what the evidence shows to be likely and possible has always astounded me. We long for a caring Universe which will save us from our childish mistakes, and in the face of mountains of evidence to the contrary we will pin all our hopes on the slimmest of doubts. God has not been proven not to exist, therefore he must exist."

Hooplah posted:can you provide a possible cosmology that excludes the possibility of what we call god without invoking a tautology? i don't see how it's possible. I think this might be the point. Rather than fudging one or a set of numbers, perhaps the issue is fudging something incomplete within our understanding itself. I read something a long time ago that talked about how Oliver Heaviside's "editing" of James Maxwell's equations can be traced as the direct cause of most of our current misunderstandings and inconsistencies within our own prevailing theories. This is not to suggest some grand conspiracy among cosmologists, by and large I don't think anyone is willingly trying to conceal anything. You practice what you know earnestly, even if you have been taught wrong as a joke like Wimp Lo

I was looking at some jolly west files on archive.org the other day (big cia file is neat if you haven’t seen it) and I clicked open the FBI file. the fbi file is them investigating why he filled his time cards at the end of the month and if he was scamming the government $40 an hour at a time to give lectures or sit on a board or something. i think they sort it out in the end but you can see the downfall of academia under American capitalism there …

Whether or not you believe anything else this guy says (because as the title indicates, it's a little "out there"), if you're already perusing this thread you may as well watch from the timestamp for some interesting words on the cosmological constants. If he's right, it has big implications for the stuff we're talking about : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKHUaNAxsTg&t=599s

I listened in on a call with a priest yesterday and he started talking about UFOs. He said they are demons. Doesn’t seem impossible to me. He described seeing one in Arizona, a green tube about 200 yards away. Then, poof!

It's all filled with fundamentalist Christians who believe talking about demons is to invite them in and give them power. Which is funny because of the thread we're in.

well theres at least one account about how a ufo appeared and all the nukes in the area went offline simultaneously, and another where one shot down a rocket theyre pissed the ufos arent allowing them to end it all, and it tracks cause satan said something about wanting to have earth or whatever so satan and the demons wouldnt want them to do it

all of this talk is the conscious brain pattern-seeking. it’s what our minds are best at. it’s what schizophrenia does to an extreme. it’s even what lets us know about our own mortality by observing others. like yes it’s good to be open to ideas and perceptions beyond what we see because it sparks creativity and new thought. but it turns out that subconscious brain activity and electromagnetic phenomena and changes in temperature and drug use and lack of sleep have all been studied and we know that they lead to what you could either call insights or just failure of perception. anyone can hallucinate if they don’t sleep long enough. or if they take the right drugs. I know some drugs can promote “ego death” or what have you that create certain insights, but in general it just sounds like very individualistic experiences that are as open to interpretation as dreams if not more so. the very material interpretation of this is that it’s a group of people mostly using drugs to try attaining new insights in the view of a world that has a very bleak answer at this time. it’s fun to think of the nonsense and deconstruct it but it’s still nonsense.

Like do you think qanon is real because millions of people believe it? I know we’re talking about witnessing an event but I’m bringing up people who witnessed trump talking and were later convinced by other parties interpreting it. there’s a lot of science pointing out how the Fatima people could be wrong. there are a large series of events that need to happen for this to be suppressed that are deeply unlikely.

like we have a perfectly good and thread appropriate paranoid explanation for UFOs that they are promoted disinformation possibly to discredit certain actors (Betty and Barney) or to distract from drone technology testing. but folks wants to go with the explanation that was part of a tv show 30 years ago that had government actors colluding with it.

I get that we’re all in a weirdo area. “mothman was an ethereal being sent it warn us is equally as valid to most people as “mothman was us govt mind control project of a population no one cares about.” the difference is that the bird thread is based on local sightings with little to no government confirmation (or confirmation that it leaked ufo disinfo) and this thread is based on various government leaks including confirmation of past doings.
