    The Final Experiment

    ...views on YouTube and Tiktok videos and shorts generate money. And in the last couple of years LLMs have made it much easier to generate nutty new material with scripts, images and now video. Plus you can get extra screen time just reacting to someone else's content. With luck, you'll get...

    Totally agree. The hypocrisy in this can be rather nauseating

    Discussion of Metabunk's Politeness Policy

    A lot of us on here talk about how "nutty" some of these alien ideas are and people deeply believe those ideas. How is that different? How often is the term "woo woo" used on here? Why isn't the politeness policy used in those instances? It seems to me that religion, as it often does, is...

    Personally, I would not label anyone who considers "mind interference" as "less nutty". This is what the cliché tinfoil hats are supposed to protect against. The whole "group event CE5 meditation" thing is mind interference, but it has no alien source, it's you doing it to yourselves.

    Discussion of Metabunk's Politeness Policy

    Ridicule in the context of comedy can be quite effective. I spent years discussing how nutty the bible was with a friend (who similarly, comes from a catholic family). Nothing worked. Then he started listening to Ricky Gervais, and bing bang boom...

    I never said there are ideas beyond questioning. The original quote: That's not thoughtful discussion. That's belittling.

    Discussion of Metabunk's Politeness Policy

    Urban dictionary: woo-woo Woo-woo is a slang term used to describe those who believe in phenomena that lacks substantiated evidence to prove the claim of the phenomena. It can also refer to the explanations for the specific phenomena itself. It also describes the method a person uses to...

    we'll see. Do not insult people either directly or indirectly Do not call them names, such as "stupid", "ignorant", "uneducated", or "liar" Do not describe their theory as "stupid", "moronic", "idiotic", "delusional", etc ... The politeness policy is the basis for the nature of Metabunk.org...

    Discussion of Metabunk's Politeness Policy

    People have a history at how they arrive at convictions, and it doesn't behove me to belittle that when I'm ignorant of it. The placing of trust, especially, is not a rational thing. It is not obvious how to prove to yourself, from first principles, that Earth is a globe. (I have learned ways...

    ...but keeping it hidden away and private? For the sake of truth and sincerity, would we not be better to see your opinions naked and unvarnished? If you don't belittle this idea, well, some people may internally form the opinion that for a Metabunk leader not to do so would be a little nutty...

    Elizondo's Romanian Non-Human Mothership Photo [Reflection of a Light Fixture]

    ...he either believed it or believed enough of it at the time of telling to sell it. And just as Lue was in Intell, Tim was athletic and nutty enough to have tried something like that. There was a bit of credibility, at least as the storyteller. If no one challanged him, than the story stood...

    That's not the point. You cannot do it on Metabunk. It happens and when a moderator sees it, it is dealt with. We do not read every message. Nobody gets paid for what we do. If you see impolite behavior, report it.

    ...Mormans!! I dont know how life is in Scotland but here, if i and 3 others were saying the same type stuff constantly about Muslims and the nutty Quran (vs. mormans, catholics, christians) perhaps more members would be able to see why "nutty Bible" should not be allowed on MB and how it...

    ...than physical events. This isn't something I opine on one way or the other, although there is some discussion about it from some of the less nutty people in the UFO space. We were mindful in the group setting to attempt to rule out some form of group hysteria/delusion. We each gained definite...

    ...distinct possibility of all kinds of false flag and framing operations on all sides. To assume such a framing operation by Russian intelligence as a distinct possibility is perfectly reasonable rather some nutty excursion into conspiratorial territory. Even if it turns out not to have been...

    Bayesian argument to believe in aliens?

    ...shaped asteroids? no. all the local phenomena in the world are likely to be either man-made or natural things that some perhaps have not been explained yet, but by no means are they exhibiting anything i'd consider alien. i have, by number, many more billions of examples of people being nutty.

    A Tear In The Sky - Nimitz/Tic-Tac/Catalina UFO Documentary

    The UAPx team is a mixed bag. Some seem more serious than others. Some more mystical. Here's one already distancing them from the project (preceding tweet to the above) Source: https://twitter.com/OSIRIS_UAP/status/1511071298297872386 I think it's kind of making a deal with the devil for...

    ...that aliens are also real and the government meets with them. It's hard to tell if he's making it up or what. Bottom line, he can sound a bit nutty, thus, Shellenberger may have kept his identify hidden. Or they heard the story 2nd hand and are just passing it along without any due diligence...

    COVID-19 Coronavirus current events

    Concerning but keep it in perspective. "We" seem to have been affected by apathy following early success of "lock out" and "lock down". The current surge is still small by some comparisons even tho it contrasts with many months of zero or single digit case numbers at state level.
