I think all -isms are an ego trap. I'd like to stop there. I don't care to be validated as an experiencer or as a skeptic, both are extreme points of view if you ask me. Some people jump straight to aliens, others jump straight to bullshit.
I would give this more time but I need to go to bed, I've spent more time in this thread than I thought I would.
- twiceaday 7y agoYou said very little, I asked you to clarify, this is a cop-out. You have a faulty definition of skepticism, it is an easy-for-you-to-attack caricature. Plus, you've made no claims that require skepticism. You only implied them. I asked you to make them explicit but you got cold feet or something. This, combined with your comments in the other thread about wanting to believe there is something greater and that we are not alone, is enough for me to stop engaging.
- rblion 7y agoNo, it's more a way to save time. People either dismiss things like with 'ball lightning' 'dogfighting' 'laserpointers' or they jump to 'aliens' 'secret machines'. I'm good on this discussion, it's not mission critical to what I am doing and I don't see the value of continuing it. Nobody knows what they are, they just have theories. I am okay with it being a mystery, I'm sure I'll see them again and I'll get video next time.
