And: Random people keep putting more in the pile making the task indefinite in duration. Marbles that are not dirty are easy to sort so no one talks about them. A few are actually ball bearings. A few people put dice in the pile, insisting they...

Funny you should post that. I thought from your posts that perhaps you and @boringrealit were the poster children for "no amount of data would change their mind". ;)

Oh, ok, then someone passed by and told you: one might be red! Which color would you bet the next marble will be now? Do you think saying 'one might be red' raises the probability of actually one of the marbles being red? Magically?

Personally, I think "might be" should be avoided in these circumstances. After all, many things might be. One of the marbles might be solid gold—that would certainly be nice. But until that golden marble turns up, one probably shouldn't quit...

Why do these folks demand disclosure if they can just summon aliens any time they want?

Imagine you have a big pile of dirty marbles, so dirty you cannot tell which colour they are. With some effort you manage to clean one and you see it's black. Then you manage to clean another and it's black too. You go on in your cleaning effort...

This, and the thought that science only makes advances when it proposes things that have not been considered or discovered before, so we should always consider the existence and presence of NHI or aliens. The common analogy is that people didn't...

"Starlink Summoner" still looks pretty cool on th' curriculum vitae...

There's no problem with saying "a realistic depiction". The difficulty comes when you add "of an alien", when technically it really should be "of an imaginary creature". @JMartJr 's point is valid.

Thanks for that. Although, I'm not really sure what the difference is in the two statements. I started this thread because the chatter about the Amorco alien figure has come around again (probably in the lead up to Disclosure Day's release) and...

(slightly off topic but kind of related to the art imitating life imitating art loop). I just realised that Max Headroom is a character played by Matt Frewer, who played a government insider character in the Spielberg related UFO abduction...

The Amoco alien was meant to be a "realistic" depiction of an alien conforming to popular culture depictions/ "experiencer" reports of that time (which are much the same now). At approx. 37 mins 33 secs into the video Bob Ochsler says The fact...

The problem with that is you can't tell who can actually have their mind changed. I've seen plenty of people who appeared to be genuine true believers, but who eventually realized they had been fooled, sometimes after years. There are many...
