Stop assuming everyone who is speaking into a microphone is lying in one form or another, or too stupid to be trustworthy.
Thousands and thousands of people have experienced extraordinary things over decades and multiple continents. All people here are willing to consider is that there is financial gain to be had, etc. Not that they are actually being truthful, and seeking nothing more than understanding.
Plus come ON. There's a chance that we possess something that can negate the Higgs field. That's huge beyond words.
- hakunin 3y agoAre you asking for good faith, or just faith? A million debunkable/explainable-with-something-else cases is equivalent to zero cases. I mostly see people ask for one, single, hard piece of evidence. In all of the millions. Something that can't be explained much more plausibly.
- tjoff 3y ago> Thousands and thousands of people have experienced extraordinary things over decades and multiple continents. And there are very reasonable reasons for why they think they experienced that. Just go back a hundred years and read what many people believed in back then. Most of which are trivially false (from our perspective). Heck, religion is still a thing today. More religions than can fit together so if nothing else we know most of them are wrong.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoYou seem to think the only two options are they're lying or they magically know exactly what they experienced and should be trusted implicitly. There's a lot more to it than that. People hallucinate and confabulate. People see patterns where there are none all the time. People unintentionally modify their own memories in all sorts of ways whenever they recall them. People believe things with no evidence just because they want to. People embellish their stories to fit the conclusion they want.
