- reilly3000 7y agoI’m not personally convinced about the veracity of all of that, but I’m amazed at the scope and specificity of what they discuss. The reality I see is several hundred thousand people can believe virtually anything, and all agree with each other. Look at the anti-vax movement, which today compared itself with the civil rights movement. Also, flat-earth and creation science come to mind. I can’t say if any of these are right or wrong about their respective claims, but their tactics and communications styles are largely similar. The group’s metaphorical center of gravity becomes so dense it manufactures its own credibility from within.
- rblion 7y agoI couldn't listen all the way through, it was interesting at times but just a lot of the same circular arguments and assumptions. I'm pretty much done with the UFO topic unless something revolutionary or unprecedented happens. It's a diversion, a distraction.
