Great UFO documentary

Reiku said:
ET-myth? You need to be careful. Thinking ET is a myth is a rather selfish claim in an otherwise, infinitely large universe with more planets than your puny little mind could fathom.

Your ignorance is the same as most skeptics. Thinking that because there is a lack of evidence is evidence against. It does not mean that no evidence exists.

Don't play stupid. You clearly don't have much to work with as it is, so I would advise against waste.

I did not mean that there are no planets harboring life outside of earth. That is not at all what I implied, and that was not at all the context of my comment. I was referring to visiting ETs, which are, in point of fact, a myth.

There is no evidence for them, despite thousands and thousands of claims to the contrary, and there is plenty of evidence against the idea that such a phenomena is even possible, let alone probable. Why should I take any position other than this?

Having an open mind does not include mythology. Are you open to the existence of leprechauns? Of unicorns? That's what UFOs are.

Myths are interfused with the unconscious mind, explaining away protracted psychological scenarios quickly and efficiently. The stagecraft of mythology is also infused with symbolic significance—symbols that interpret the nature of things almost meticulously. But a key proponent to the language of mythology is the collective unconscious mind that has scrupulously cultivated its language from across ancient millennia.

So, what myth could the protagonist ET be representing?

Want to try that again in English?
 
Aww, what happened to our Reiku? Did him get a timey time out?

Score one for the good guys. Pimps up, trolls down. Holla if you hear me.

As a scientist, I firstly dispute the use of the word "object" instead of "image", which can be the only assumption drawn without any material evidence. Likewise, the word "flying" (ie, propelling through the air) presupposes that the image is an object. Finally, the word "unidentified" is redundant in that it simply admits that they don't know what they're talking about. Thus, the combined term "unidentified flying object" (and its acronym "UFO") conveys no discernible scientific meaning.

very interesting
so when you look up into the sky and see something, it is an "image"
for instance a speck in the sky which is most likely a plane at high altitude can never be referred to as an object.......

gustav: hey, its a bird, a plane, its.......
cifo: nonsense, as a scientist, i can only attest that it is an image
gustav: image of what?
cifo: there is no material evidence for any further scientific assertions
gustav: do you wanna peer thru my binoculars?
cifo: it makes no difference. it is still an image
gustav: image of.......??
cifo: image
gustav: que?
cifo: IMAGE!

Reiku frequently says things which border on insanity, but he's never wrote anything as brazenly retarded as this. This post should actually go into the douche bag hall of fame.

"There are three men on a train. One of them is an economist and one of them is a logician and one of them is a Physicist. And they have just crossed the border into Scotland and they see a brown cow standing in a field from the window of the train.

And the economist says, "Look, the cows in Scotland are brown."

And the logician says, "No. there are cows in Scotland of which one at least is brown."

And the Physicist says, "No. there is at least one cow in Scotland, of which one side appears to be brown."

That can't be what you took from his comment.

all that whooping and hollering seems indicative of pathology

light is processed by the eye and sent to the brain where it is formulated into a image. it is an representation of something

now what?

absolute certainty in a world of provisional truths? how cozily religious. but yes. we cannot be sure that the other half of the cow even exists

/pathologically skeptical

What things do we really need to be certain of in order to feel at ease?
