  • I don't know for sure, but it would surprise me if Shermer did not think it possible for life to exist elsewhere in the universe. However, unlike some people, he actually wants some real evidence first.

    To just want it and then decide it's true based on wishful thinking is wrong.

  • 83 straight hours of sleep deprivation???!!

  • @inertialcapacity Definitely. I know what you say is true because (1) It makes no sense and (2) It's unverifiable. Keep the faith, brother. Only by perpetually repeating horseshit may we convince others that rationality is worthless.

  • @SinfulMessiah seriously? is this like a conspiracy theory? so that guy isn't Shermer? the government placed a proxy? wtf ?

  • Just read about this in "Believing Brain." Great book.

  • Just checked this out after reading about the encounter in "The Believing Brain". I HIGHLY recommend you pick that one up folks. Great read.

  • 'Thinking' your crew wants to abduct you, is indeed like a psychotic episode. Actually EXPERIENCING such a thing - real or otherwise - is not. Most scizophrenics don't SEE things, but imagine them - ie, they have crazy ideations, not visuals. Very impressive endurance cycling, however!

  • @inertialcapacity That, or it's an anomaly taking place in the brain due to chemical reactions and electrical impulses.

  • doesn't look like him. Thin lips, hook nose...

  • An alien abduction is a symbolic message from a higher consciousness. The message is intended to show us the truth about ourselves (why it scares people) in the hope we will repent of what we think we know and search for better answers. Only if we become like little children asking their father questions again can we hope to find enlightenment and freedom from pain. My Space has highestprecision.

  • delusional from lack of sleep
