You can say the same things about all religions.

Its more about the architecture of the chimp brain defaulting to, manufacturing story as a hack, when it cant explain/predict or understand what it experiences.

As philosopher Charles Taylor work has shown, the big shared stories of the chimp troupe (religions/ideologies etc) cant keep up with the rate of change, so chimp brains start searchimg for and latching on to what ever is available around them. And since the buffet table of available stories has exploded there is a splintering or lack of commonality in all stories. Every story looks silly to someone cuz they have already latched on to some other story. There are hard update limits to how frequently the brain can update a misguided story.

Its just shit hardware architecture everyone has.



Yep, and as I pointed out in my other comment, 40% of Americans think some number of UFOs are alien craft. A huge number of people have really dumb opinions.

So when you hear that some people in the military are also trying to repeat the same myths, you have to remember that they’re just a cross section of the public at large, and they certainly don’t all have clearance to know what’s going on with foreign adversaries’ espionage and military craft.


Still waiting for David Grusch to come through with that paradigm shattering disclosure that will make fools of the skeptics and unbelievers. His integrity is above reproach, he can't simply be a liar, or have been lied to.

Any day now.


It reminds me of early 20th century Egyptologists who can dispassionately talk about Ra and Osiris but take Jesus seriously.

Men of science who perfectly understand why religion exists but their mind just has a BOSD that prevents them from attaining atheism.


BOSD? Or BSOD?
