I really dig that concept, "experience-inducing informational rendering." I might have to steal it from you :P I perceive myself as a person with a somewhat gnostic mentality --probably the reason I liked The Matrix so much-- so to me these are all ideas that harken back to Plato's cave and all...

UFOs the cursors of our computer Overlords? If that's the case, then perhaps instead of the "Independence Day" arrival of the mother ship, what we'll get is a ginormous emoji in the sky :p I've been toying with the idea that most of the 'true' UFO sightings are not structured craft as we think...

My sincere condolences, amigo. "No estoy aquí yo, que soy tu madre? No estás bajo mi sombra y resguardo?" Descanse en paz

Jacques Vallee an 'anti-science' guy? If anything he was one of the first ones to point out our current materialistic Science would be incapable of truly grasping the reality of the UFO phenomenon, the same way it has failed to solve the 'hard problem' of human consciousness. That's why he...

That podcast I linked involved a joint exercise between Alex & Radford re. psychic detective Nancy Weber. Radford claimed that both of the police officers involved in a case in which Weber was able to provide very accurate information about a murderer, had told him that the psychic had been...

Not sure if Skeptiko's Alex Tsakiris would agree with that... http://www.skeptiko.com/transcript-69-psychic-detective/

This all boils down to the age-old debate between Determinism & Free Will. Do we all have a fate? Can we change our destinies or is it all written down? My own personal interpretations is not Either/Or. As many things in the Fortean world, I choose to see it as Both/And ;) So I think...

Wow. I find your disregard of this story quite telling. --And not that surprising, given your stance on the UFO phenomenon. But anyway, a couple of things (and this is the only time I'm going to address this issue, because it's not really that relevant to this particular thread): * Krakower...

Beat me to it! :P Yeah, perhaps in the future Science will finally catch up and will understand the 'mechanics' behind synchronicities, precognition & other type of phenomena. For example, notable parapsychologist Dean Radin had a personal synchronicity that is simply MIND-BLOWING, and he...

Fair enough. But I really think you should try to consider, that all those countless hours of outdoors skywatching, that drive that put you 'in the right place at the right time', and all those years you have diligently devoted into studying & understanding this mystery, might just have been the...

I'm a little behind with my Paracast listening. Right now I'm about to listen to this episode, but before I do, I wanted to offer my 2 cents with re. to Mike Clelland's article on Open Minds, which Gene & Chris commented upon in the intro. First, I want to state that I've been following Mike's...

I gotta say that 2014 has been one of the best years for The Paracast, so there's plenty to choose from ;)

I Tweeted him about the reasons why he chose to pick the people that made it on the UFO show, and he said because "these were the 'experts'." I don't see how that approach could be productive; yes, expertise by proclamation is a malady in this or any other fringe field, but that's why you go...

Well, I don't know the guy & haven't talked to him --only to a couple of his friends, Chris Ryan & Daniele Bollelli-- but it seems that, as with most alpha males, there are no inbetween with Rogan: either you click with him & become his brother forever, or you hate his guts. FWIW After the show...

I just listened to the show & enjoyed it. Having Goggs & Shane offer excellent comments was a big plus :) The point about the Uinta basin showing such high concentrations of ozone was particularly interesting. I think that's something deserving to be looked at more thoroughly --if nothing else...

The irony here is that Wilbert Smith, the Canadian radio engineer who tried to encourage his government to study the phenomenon in the 50's, was never a fan of using the term UFO; a term he thought had been coined by the American Air Force in order to add ambiguity & imprecision to the...

I remember something Whitley wrote, that one day he tried to formulate a question in his mind for the Visitors; he wanted to know the way they looked at the Universe. An image appeared on his head. The image was that of a closed coffin. That was a very interesting idea, to think how an...

Thanks for pointing this out! Just downloaded the free e-book :)

Now YOU are the one combining two of my favorite things :P

Exactly! It may not be just a problem of 'translating' from the alien language to English, or any other human language. The problem of expressing ideas & concepts between 2 differing minds who might be experiencing the world around them from vastly different vantage points, might be an...
