You forgot part 2 of your maxim: Any social structure that encourages the predatory nature of humans will also fail. Capitalism and Socialism are in the same boat.

Awesome show. Now, what about this soldier that Peter mentioned who disappeared for a few days (possibly abducted) and has never talked about his experiences? I'd never heard this part of the story before and I was waiting to hear some follow-up questions, but I think the conversation veered...

I think the bottom line is that we're trying to make an analogy to remote viewing, correct? We've thrown out lots of examples, which of these examples would you consider a closer analogy to remote viewing: -Working the internet -Driving a race car -Creating a work of art -Running a...

Ok I understand your point of view a little better. And I pretty much agree. I think I react strongly to this subject because of the state I live in (denial, er, Houston). After college I moved to alot of different spots in the country, I lived in Brooklyn, Seattle, and New Orleans, and...

I think this is a case of terminology. The knife thrower does not "know" physics in the same way that the professor "knows" physics. One can talk about it but not utilize it, the other can utilize it but not talk about it. This is one of my favorite subjects, because to me it sorta...

Ugh, sorry to hear that. I can relate, when I was younger my favorite dog was bitten by a copperhead and he died really painfully. I haven't owned a pet since then, just plants.

This is an interesting subject, one I've thought about alot. I don't think I necessarily agree with the above statement. I think that in most cases, intellectually "knowing" how something works is not necessary to use something most effectively, and it is far less effective than simply direct...

Here here!

Well, I don't know how exactly you are taking a contrary position. Except perhaps to state that we are somehow being subject to "environmental extremism". That's a little absurd, I think. I acknowledge that people are using environmentalism to push other agendas. But the degree that the...

Thanks for the clarification, that makes alot more sense.

Yea I was on a bulletin board completely unrelated to paranormal stuff and this guy posts: "WTF! A 747 just flew past my window and our building's being evacuated!" So I looked into it and found this stuff.

Interesting story, a bit odd: Today a 747 flew very low over NYC. There was alot of panic, and many buildings were evacuated. This 747 was accompanied by a military fighter jet. It was explained later that this was simply a military photo exercise, meant to take pictures of the statue...

For anyone who hasn't yet seen this, it's pretty awesome: <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fH2JX32l9Uo&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed...

Yea Al Gore is a politician. Are any of us really surprised? My family are all christian right-wingers, and posts like this "10 Questions" post are generally passed around among them to reinforce their opinion that humans have no part in global warming, or that global warming itself is a fraud...

Devil's advocate: If there is a non-human plan to make sure that humanity dies out, then why do you think these non-humans have not simply exterminated us? If human beings were dead-set on making certain that horses, for example, died out, I would think that within a few years we could pretty...

Well, I guess this goes along with the idea that there is a singular intelligence behind many of the ufos/mutilations/crop circles, and the motivation of this intelligence is a long-range psychological project to instill into the mass consciousness the idea that "aliens" exist. If this...

I personally think the general idea of a fake "invasion" is not a paranoid lunatic idea. I think it's a very high possibility that some group within the gov/military has access to advanced technology. And it's being kept secret for some reason. It wouldn't be crazy for the keepers of this...

Wow that's cool, you've seen one? Well it's possible that this is just a case of an ordinary rare animal.

The subject of big cats is one I'm not terribly interested in, so I forgot about this story until yesterday. Many years ago I lived in a suburb outside of Houston, and at that time I worked at LaMadeleine (french restaurant). An old woman worked there with me, both she and her husband lost...
