To me it's not hard to understand why some aliens might not have the same technological capacity or knowledge in certain areas as we do — especially knowledge specific to us that has taken thousands of years of experience and study being us here on Earth to get a grasp on. Their transportation...

Note that I didn't include the rest of your post because I take no issue with it. All valid speculation and everyone is entitled their opinions. This last bit ( above ) is a bit more interesting. I agree with you that in some cases the aliens want us to notice them, but in those cases that also...

The 33% represents those polled on belief and extrapolated out — that's full one third. Many more are perfectly ready to psychologically accept it with minimal adaptation because they've been so inundated with it — and the rest don't care one way or the other. The only people that couldn't wrap...

Thanks for your "two cents" — an excellent example of what constitutes constructive discussion. While your essay makes several valid points and observations, my takeaway from it is that it has more to do with how humans in general have historically behaved toward themselves and other species on...

Cynicism is an essential survival skill :cool:

I live in Calgary Alberta and for the record, voted Conservative, so my opinion doesn't in any way represent that of the political opposition in the province. The separatist rhetoric we hear in the west typically plays on how much of our economic wealth is siphoned off to eastern provinces, as...

In 2019, 73% of Americans said they believed in the existence of UFOs, while 33% said they believed in the existence of extraterrestrial beings. This indicates that a significant portion of the American population is open to the idea of alien visitation — and IMO most of the rest would either...

Well — certainly no disrespect to COB, but Chris' observations are more about the bad behavior of one species of wildlife ( us ) — than the "planet" itself. The Drake Equation suggests that the galaxy should be teaming with other civilizations, while the Fermi Paradox strongly suggests that...

I'm not so sure about that. We've been inundated with the alien theme to the point where many people are sick and tired of hearing about it. Not only are they familiar with it — they're demanding to see the real deal. The rest don't care anyway. Unless it causes them an inconvenience, it would...

To me, the value of The Paracast has nothing to do with what it would sell for. IMO it's a priceless piece of cultural history that should be preserved and made freely available to everyone. That said, a person can't be blamed for wanting to get paid for their work either. Ideally — maybe both...

Science has become heavily politicized and used in concert with a compromised justice system to suppress civil liberties, particularly free speech — and for some things, when that doesn't work, they payoff "influencers" to help them keep a lid on their corruption. Sadder still are all the weak...

The shows could probably be archived on Internet Archive: Digital Library of Free & Borrowable Texts, Movies, Music & Wayback Machine and maybe a couple other places. It all depends on what Gene wants to do.

Sure — I imagine some of that is the true in some cases, but I don't think it's safe to assume that it's all true in all cases. Even with something as familiar as our own species, every time I learn more, it just it makes me realize how little I really know. So I can't even begin to imagine...

Life? Hmm, not sure — I'm having trouble finding my pulse. Does anyone else sometimes wonder if they're living in an alternate dimension?

Maybe Maybe we should all try therapy :p

Maybe the "shows" have less to do with "conditioning" humans, and more to do with learning how we react to their presence, like testing our defenses by buzzing military bases. Maybe they have no "plan" at all and they're just following some standard "procedures" for studying the wildlife — and...

Ya — it's fairly safe to assume that "objectives" are part of any intentional action by any half-ways intelligent species, and that in each and every case, some degree of study is required attain them. So maybe moving away from the more general idea of "study" to the more specific idea of...

Ya, remember when they started calling Noory — "Snorey" :p. That wasn't really fair — because apparently George was a really good guy. Yet the show was never the same without Bell doing his thing. It lost its flavor, and Gene has his own indelible style too. Without him, it would be like trying...

Marjorie Taylor Green Calls Trump A Traitor Epstein's Brother Says They're SCRUBBING Files Of GOP Names

It seems reasonable enough to believe that familiarization is one real purpose — just not the only one, and not necessarily the one behind every incident. Besides — as soon as we ( in general ) start assuming that we have the answer, the phenomenon ( or something else ) does something to throw a...
