Yep — same. So many of the actors are gone now — Mira Furlan (Delenn), Jerry Doyle (Garibaldi), Richard Biggs (Franklin), Andreas Katsulas (G'Kar), Jeff Conaway (Zack Allan), Stephen Furst (Vir Cotto), and Michael O'Hare (Sinclair) — have all passed "beyond the rim." Indeed. I'd like to see a...

My Top Ten — Not necessarily in order of preference: Star Wars Star Trek Babylon Five The Matrix Hunger Games Close Encounters Contact The Day The Earth Stood Still 2001 A Space Odyssey Dark City Yep :cool: B5 is most excellent and underrated. I have the full DVD set and just finished...

It's not bad if you could get used to sub-zero winter temperatures. At one point I almost moved to Corpus Christi, but life issues at the time made it too complicated. Personally, I love it here. But that's just because I was born here. I've seen travel videos of many awesome places. If it...

✅ TIP: I feel for you — t sucks when that happens. After it happened to me a few times, I learned to highlight and copy longer replies before hitting "Post reply" so that if necessary, I can paste it back into a separate post along with a link to the original. That has saved me many times now...

I just did a Google AI search for the emotional context of the word "bracing", and that's what it said — but now I see that it mentions your intended context as well. Thanks for clarifying :) !

Persinger — The Genius Scientist the CIA Wants to Keep Secret Dr. Michael Persinger, a pioneering neuroscientist who delved into the mysterious connection between the brain, geomagnetics, and consciousness.

The God Helmet: Can Science Fake a Spiritual Experience? A bit to wade through — but some interesting archival footage Like a Russian woman with telekinesis.

Probably the most solid scientific evidence for a link between consciousness and the paranormal comes from the work of Michael Persinger. Another thread: https://www.theparacast.com/forum/threads/philosophy-science-the-unexplained-main-thread.14196/ Another link...

I'm not seeing any way to unpack that "belief" without making some vague assumptions. Perhaps it would help if you could elaborate on the concept of "the original consciousness", what you mean by "we" and what ( objectively speaking ) the "part" that you're referring to consists of. Right now...

I'm still working on a Win7 4 core AMD PC. People are practically throwing them away.

True as that is — humans are still a contributory factor. The things is that we're not as big a contributory factor as climate politics would have us believe. Just like with COVID, they claim there's a scientific consensus — when there's not, and the real driver is the political power and money...

An interesting usage of the word "bracing" — the act of preparing oneself, often unconsciously, for an anticipated negative experience, such as disappointment, criticism, rejection, or emotional pain. It is a psychological self-protective stance adopted to soften the potential "impact" of a...

That's the gist of it, but I think the phrase "owed a living" also implies a certain attitude on the part of the user, not too far removed from other phrases like, "Get a real job." or "Do something useful with your life." It suggests an undeserved air of entitlement. In this case, it's that the...

You have been playing in it all along :p Yep. I mean okay sure — maybe familiarization is on some alien's priority list someplace. My point is still that we don't really know. I've read a couple of his books, but don't recall anything about that. The Google AI says Strieber thinks that some...

Well — Musk might not have seen any aliens, but I don't have much doubt that they've seen him — or at least that Roadster he launched into space :p

Just curious — Who in your mind is "owed a living" for anything? Why?

Agreed — I was just keeping in context of the immediate discussion ( study vs. familiarization ). If we want to widen the goalposts, management is a distinct possibility in which case, study and familiarization both might play a role in an even larger picture. Again — Like Stanton Friedman...

I looked into the dissent against Gene before agreeing to be part of the show and never found any of the claims to be substantial. That said, there are still some people who think my reasons for resigning aren't substantial either. The difference between them and me is that I've always welcomed...

The "phenomenon" ( as distinct from UFOs per se ) isn't too difficult to define. What's difficult is getting some sort of consensus on it. Probably the most widely accepted approach in serious ufology, is that of CUFOS, and As you suggest, the interdisciplinary approach is certainly the way to...

Just a head's up on a post that I'd like your feedback on. The full post is here. The most relevant question is reiterated below ( with minor changes for clarity ). Earth's geography and human physiology hasn't changed much over the last few millennia. So a race as advanced as is being...
