Hi all, found my way to this forum via some of the analysis done on the US Navy UFO videos, which I'll look to contribute to. Backround working in IT, do quite a lot of random open source side projects and a hobbyist game developer (wish I made Tony Hawk's).

Hi, I am here to discuss science and ethics and how they collide in numerous situations. Most specifically of course is the current ... um ... 'event'. I really do not know how to name it, as I reckon most claims to knowledge are really just beliefs. My core thesis is in computational astrophysics, which I see as the benchmark of method.

I found this site when I was invesigating the plausability of man (humankind) having the power or ability to influenece or change the natural seasons. I could not belive (humankind) had the arrogance to belive that was possible.

Hi everyone, I found the site via Mick’s “Rabbit Hole” book. Actually I downloaded the audiobook and started listening to it today.
In the distant past I had the pleasure of working with James Randi and am a founder member of the UK group the Association for Skeptical Enquiry (ASKE for short).
I’ve recently become curious about conspiracy theories (and theorists) which seem to have sprouted up in response to the pandemic. Mick’s book will hopefully give me guidance on having more productive visits to Twitter.
Really looking forward to learning more.
Best wishes to all,
Tony

Hello all I’m started out as a chemistry major but went to France when my dad died because my parents were from there. She died when I was still a teenager and so I went searching (both literally for family and figuratively for ... ) as well as to reclam the language of my mother who had taken great pride in teaching in me (people ask me where I’m from in both countries lol) I read a book by Bill Bryson called Mother Tongue which set me on the track I’m on now. I taught English for many years in Montpellier and am now working on my Master’s in linguistics, ... I found this site looking about election fraud because I’m always skeptical about what the media is telling us. I see here that it’s much more evidence based - hard to find that these days. I eventually want to be a researcher so this site looks to have like minded individuals. My name is Justin ... pronounced [ ʒys.tɛ̃] or [Juice-tan] kind of, if you pronounce the j like in jeep the u like you’re sucking a lemon and the tan if you force the sound tan makes up your nose from inside your mouth and don’t say the “N” ... easy... if there’s one thing I truly care about and we don’t have it in France - it’s the absolute right of free speech which seems to be in danger sometimes.

FatPhil here - found this place via some Thunderf00t youtube vid debunking last year's "UFO" release. Maths/science kinda guy, with a high probability of approaching things with a Bayesian perspective, with no patience for illogic, and the throwing out of all the signal in order to join the dots from the noise (to make a 'Q' shape, bizarrely). I spend my leisure time surrounded by hobby coding projects, beer, and music.

Where can I post my virgin hello? Only in the REPLY box?

This is a super-excellent site. Especially so in this age of discredited journalism.

Hello! I found this forum through reading the book on Escaping the Rabbit Hole and looking for some debunks of 911 CTs. I am military historian with a broad interests in all kinds of global political affairs, especially when they overlap with scientific concerns.

Hi, everyone. I'm a former member, known as Jazzy. I stopped posting because my ego was beginning to outweigh the general interests of this community. (I used to be a werewolf, but I'm much better now-oooooo.) My family and I are doing fine on Tenerife, the lockdown hardly affects old hermits whose friends are mostly dead already. I still swim in the ocean except when it gets below 20 deg C. My only ambition left (Elon Musk took all the others) is to make an electric scooter with very fat tyres which will climb this volcano, which, as you can see in this photo, looks sensational. Cheers.

Hi, it's me again, with another picture, this time of La Palma. We're getting interesting weather down here:

 

[Sabino]

Hello everyone,
I am a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience in the field. I have been working as a school social worker for 22 years and also have a private practice. My main area of expertise is with adolescents and children though I work with adults. I came across this site in the past few days seeking information debunking "The Fall of the Cabal" and Qanon in general. I am a news and information junkie, and subscribe to The Atlantic, NYT, Slate, New York Magazine, and other publications, so I guess my political leanings are obvious. I never attempt to impose my political views on anyone. I am strongly influenced by William James as well as humanistic psychology in general. I truly value this site and particularly appreciate the focus on respect and compassion as opposed to attacking others.
I play various instruments, love every type of music and literature. My favorite modern writer is Don DeLillo. Favorite classic writer is Dostoevsky.
I am presently reading "Escaping the Rabbit Hole..." and find it fascinating and quite helpful.
I look forward to being a member of this community.
Peace

Hi all

Just got the book. Engineering background .needing help with a few friends.

Hi all, I found this site through the great book 'Escaping the Rabbit Hole' and have long been drawn to my own version of conspiracy stories. I consider myself almost dry now and like an alcoholic would say " I haven't researched a conspiracy story today" - if you get my meaning.

It was so easy to follow the likes of David Icke (go look at his tax returns and you'll see who really benefits) to a million and one other players all with a vested interest in having them join their own particular club! But no more, for the first time I am able to look at the world with my own eyes and formulate opinions with my mind and it is very liberating indeed. Now I consider myself standing outside the 'Rabbit Hole' looking in I can see what I have been missing, common sense and logic.

The next step is to help my stepfather, a hopeless addict to conspiracies who like a brainwashed religious cult member, will require a lot of 'deprogramming', everything in his life is a conspiracy and he point blank refuses to listen to any form of sensible, calm rational debate - but I'll never give up.

Thanks for a great forum and helping an old fart finally escape the Rabbit Hole.

Hey fellas! I recently found this site thanks to a bit of a wormhole starting at an AronRa video. After a bit of scrolling to figure out what this site entailed, I decided to join it.
I'm a college student from Mississippi in the U.S. and I often need help combating the misinformation that much of my family constantly shares on the likes of facebook.

Hi! I'm new to the group. I found my way here researching Qanon bc my sister is down that rabbit hole. Her behavior is unusual and concerning so I'm trying to get informed. I read a Psychology Today article (in 3 parts) that named this site as a good source for debunking Qanon claims. Thanks!

Hello, I stumbled across this site a few years ago and it has become a favorite of mine. As I have been an avid skywatcher for most of my life I have an interest in atmospheric phenomena that makes me bristle against conspiracy theories or just plain unfounded or idle speculation of natural or man made occurrences.
