Astonishing how so many committed to science, in practice or in praise, simply cannot accept rigorously derived findings which would offer a gateway to a new era of scientific discovery.
We tell a diversity of stories about our kind, dubbed "humanity", even though we can't know what that is. We present humanity as a character in a cosmic drama, even though the set of all living humans is not a cohesive system unto itself, much less a being...
Have you heard anyone propose that an organism must be conscious in order to acquire intelligence? Isn't this likely the way it works in humans?
Carnivorous rocks are said to be quite dangerous when thrown with accuracy.
But QAnon backfired spectacularly, firing up conservatives re child trafficking. Also, it's perhaps more a disinformation or "perception management" tactic, vs public relations.
You'd get a sense of my methodological rigor & intensity from this interview (which is only partly about UAP):
I never use LLMs, only ever read work produced by a named author with relevant background, and watch only films/interviews featuring scholars/investigators with appropriate training & experience. I regard gen-AI as useless for the fields I study, including mainstream science.
Eliciting coherent, consistent responses from spirits re why-embodied-life is challenging; we'd really need a survey of thousands of randomly chosen ex-human spirits to make progress on this Q! Maybe when science one day embraces data collection via astral travel ;-)
Re embodied lifetimes, or human psyches & societies in general? I haven't spent enough time with the literature in sociology, psychology, etc to comment on the latter. But it's clear that colloquially, human potential (in the positive sense) is overestimated.
Physicalism has been wholly falsified by abundant evidence of super-physical phenomena, rigorously documented by scholars & scientists for over 100y. Many have ignored said evidence hoping it would go away; it has only become stronger.
I don't "believe in the numinous," but I can name a variety of well studied super-physical experiences and entities which might qualify :)
It's not "skepticism" to be disdainful of evidence and accounts that one hasn't reviewed. Skepticism is the habit of asking Qs re specific cases.
I've dug into these fields at some length; I'd not take the effort to comment otherwise. I imagined you'd assume so, given our previous thread. If you'd like to make a study of the evidence, I can provide pointers (e.g. Meldrum, Psi Encyclopedia). If not, ok, but pls know that I've done so!
Science has no established protocols for the study of beings that are more intelligent than humans and that do not wish to be observed!
See the "Psi Encyclopedia" (edited by scholars) and compare its entries with those on Wikipedia. It's obvious that the latter's content has a materialist agenda. Btw, to understand reality, one must set aside faith in mainstream science, and get reading. It's a long project.
They seem to have the capacity to navigate spacetime in ways that humans don't. The "wild-man" presentation may well be camouflage.
After what I showed you re UAP, this shouldn't be a great surprise :)
Why bother: the beings seem to be a non-human intelligence; acknowledgement of such is contrary to long-standing US Gov policy. Funded science was therefore mostly impossible; scientists considering the available evidence (mostly tracks) conclude it deserves study. See talks by Prof Jeff Meldrum.
More like 100 years... quite plausibly!
How? Methane spike.
Dr K, you've recorded chats with parapsychologist Jeffrey Mishlove over a dozen times, so surely you're aware of the extensive empirical evidence for super-physical phenomena, documented by scholars & scientists for over 100y? Why isn't that evidence essential to metaphysics?

Another Wikipedia topic controlled by organized disinfo operators, as with UAP. A dive into good-faith Sasquatch investigations reveals that there's something unknown at the root of the phenomenon, probably more intelligent than humans, i.e. not merely a "relic hominin."
Capitalism actually reduced inequality in many parts of the world, but then began consuming the biosphere everywhere else, leading to the current meta-crisis... which will end industrial civilization as we know it.
It is not "capitalism" that is the root of inequality. It is hierarchical society, which became inevitable after humanity descended into endemic warfare & slavery over 5,000 years ago. IOW "civilization" is the problem, and we are now trapped therein.
But take note, "improvement" need not furnish fulfillment, nor peace. Although we can be certain than pursuit of external things precludes peace.
"If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid with regard to external things."

Do you have the patience to wait
Till your mud settles and the water is clear?
Can you remain unmoving
Till the right action arises by itself?

Is science as institution more malleable? Perhaps, but we can name topics worthy of study that are taboo. Scientists who venture into them are typically savaged by colleagues, and their careers curtailed. At least one can leave a religious tradition without being fired & blacklisted ;-)
Yet another quote that sounds good but isn't true. Ppl abandon religious traditions and political tendencies all the time.
Isn't the intent to obtain decent meta-data from the phone, and then correlate multiple witnesses' photos of the same event?
