I have 20/20 vision. In fact, sometimes I can see things like signs on buses from really far off. I used to smoke a lot (now I only have the odd one) and back then was when I saw the dancing lights a lot. I sometimes thought that it was linked with health in some way.

I don't think it was that bad.

I actually used to see something similar! little black dots would float into my field of vision sometimes, and other times I saw what was like little bolts of lightening, which would kind of dance in front of my eyes! Kind of strange, but I never thought too much about it. I just figured that it...

There are a lot of scientists very annoyed with Dawkins and how he presnts this to the public like a grand battle between the believers of God and the believers of non-belief. The way he pops up on science shows about evolution, talks about some really great stuff, and then at the end goes...

One of the founders of Israel has a quote. I don't know it exactly, but it goes something like this. Jews were persecuted in Europe for centuries, culminating in the atrocity of the Nazis, and the Jews returned to Israel, which was not a Jewish state before 1948. But the muslims who lived there...

Uberdoink, you seem to be taking an ideological stance against the current scientific understanding of where and when we came from. When someone says "there is evidence to show that homosapien sapien has been around for longer than the current understanding suggests", then there needs to be...

Perhaps another general theory is the time-travel hypothesis. Perhaps that would explain their interest in nuclear weapons, and their apparent random actions could have a lot of meaning with hindsight. And, if they knew about history in any way, perhaps they have access to UFO reports and...

Excellent post. That last part rings true especially for me. The fact that we think we are powerless in the face of society as a whole like telling a child about the boogey man, only to have the child scared for months after of what's in the closet. It is a scary bed time story which a lot of...

THe words "Too good to be true" spring to mind....

A religion of the future, projecting hopes and dreams and fantasies onto what the future may bring ie. alien contact, robots (those two seem to be the most prominant). And then there's the whole conspiracy thing which has also entered into the mythology of our day, regardless of the validity...

Talk about just being a wanker.

Zeener gate 5 off Orion shlep, always good for a spot of fishing shlep, you hear of those big-headed monkeys? Shlep, you have, shlep-de-shlep-de-shlep-shlep-shep, always good for a laugh, don't you think? Dingbatbraterslatyallwat! Shlep, I left my forgarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrnitenin at Risus 12. Shlep!

This is one of my biggest problems. Why can't people view this, or attempt to view this sort of thing, in a positive light? Does that somehow discredit what they are saying? Really, I am very interested in this, because I think fear and awe are mirror images of one another, in the sense that...

Interesting. "Big and good." Hmmm.....

The first thing I did after listening to the whole episode was download the episode with David and his brother talking about their experiences in Venezeula. I respect the fact that David likes to keep certain things to himself, but when he described talking with his friend about their...

Neo-cons gone crazy, with cheney as their champion, whispering in the ear of an increasingly under pressure president who was on a crazed "with us or against us" buzz. Thank God this stuff is even coming out, if you accept the glass is half full... On the plus side, Bill Clinton just pulled...

That's not real, is it? Or, does someone claim it is real?

Veerrrry interesting. I especially like the Terminator music at the end. Just to play devil's advocate, could it be space junk from different angles, as it floats in space? I don't think this myself, but before I jump to the conclusions that I want to jump to, could it be space junk? We need...

Thanks for posting this. I have been thinking about similar possibilities myself recently (though I think the possibility of a complete and utter dystopia brought about either directly or indirectly by machines is about as remote as a a complete and utter utopia). I think we may end up merging...

that's pretty funny... no offence schyuler, you have always been a good "furum friend"
