This is a perfect example of not being skeptical enough, and of having confirmation bias. Because even a child can see that the first object in that video is a airplane or maybe a helicopter, yet somehow people manage to think it's aliens.

Then give me a link to that.

@Scholar You're showing us videos of stuff which has been debunked. The thing on the first video is a batman balloon. https://www.space.com/amp/26035-google-ufo-was-rogue-balloon.html

Lmao, funny how you think you are smart, and even talking about epistemic work. I have more reasoning than you. It's you who have dogma which tells you to believe in any woo-woo stuff which you wish is true. Your epistemic method is: "believe everything you hear or see, if you don't, it means you are closed-minded and dogmatic." It's claimed that 4 fighter jet pilots saw the thing, but only one or two of them have talked infront of a camera about his experience (David Fravor). There's a million red flags about the Nimitz incident. One is that the witnesses disagree with each other.

"I was a able to pinpoint the first phenomena of that night, which happened to be a something moving at a constant rate, that was the same size as the apparent size of stars in the night sky. (I now see this phenomena often)." That's satellites. "I’m open minded to dragons" "my brother was experiencing a state of rather ecstatic heightened consciousness (I’m guessing some degree of random kundalini activation of sorts), saying things such as “humanity is ascending”....”there is a global awakening taking place”" Those are warning signs. Maybe you were hallucinating. Or maybe you are lying. So, yes, I don't belive you. But I don't rule out the possibility that you actually saw aliens. But before I believe that I would need more evidence. And why didn't you take photos or videos of it..

Well, what did you experience?

This UFO-stuff has been a wake up call for me, because it shows how people in this forum (and also Leo) are too unskeptical. They buy basically anything which they want to believe in, without requiring any evidence. This UFO-stuff is like one big confirmation bias party. You guys want to believe it so badly that you're completely lost in confirmation bias/wishful thinking. If you are like this about this topic, then you probably are like this in all other topics aswell. So this ruins your credibility in other areas too. For example, of course you will believe any hallucinations which you experience when you are tripping balls, without demanding any actual evidence before you believe in your hallucinations. All the footage is completely useless. Period. Most of it are debunked and the rest could be anything since the "objects" are always super fuzzy. The most difficult thing to dismiss is the eye witness reports, but it's not enough. Many of them are probably lying. There's several examples of intentionally faked images/video footage, and of people lying, Bob Lazar is one example of someone who is clearly lying. And the rest is probably hallucinating or seeing some rare phenomena, like for example a optical illusion or something.

@Leo Gura Today I found some music which reminds of some of the songs on your playlist. But the ones I found are even better in my opinion. They are true art. Unbelievably good. https://open.spotify.com/artist/60R38DQv96zs6DPjhLQqVd?si=PdYsWntMSiChK1TowiZCXg&utm_source=copy-link

Hallelujah, it's a miracle, he came back from the dead. Sigh.

Damn..

Yeah, I've experienced that. My body also starts to shake when it happens.

? Good one.

"Suffering isn't bad, because if you didn't have suffering you would be dead." The problem with that argument is that it assumes that life is a good thing. It's true that without suffering you would be dead. But both suffering and life is bad. So, suffering is bad. "There are people who enjoy suffering, people who get pleasure from suffering." No. That turns it into pleasure. That's not what suffering is. That twists the entire definition and meaning of the word suffering. The "suffering" which a masochist (self torturer) likes, is actually pleasure, so it's not suffering. There isn't a single living being in existence who wants to suffer in the total/big picture. If you want to suffer to get pleasure later (for example lose weight), it only means that you believe that the pleasure later will outweigh the suffering which is required. So it's also just a attempt to avoid suffering.

Maybe. But I think there's so much stuff which we don't know. Maybe it's possible to die consciously by damaging the body, because maybe full control over the life force in the body is a separate skill. Or maybe there is no difference between unconscious and conscious death, maybe all deaths are the same. Food for thought (just a mind game): what if proper mahasamadhi would be easy to do? What if in average 1 actualized follower per month or something would do mahasamdhi, would you still support proper mahasamdhi or would you condemn it? I think you would then condemn it. You would be forced to.. Of course there happened stuff after the camera stopped recording. Maybe they checked his pulse. Maybe he continued living. Maybe he committed normal physical suicide after the camera stopped recording (maybe it was a normal suicide faked as mahasamdhi). Etc.

Well that video doesn't prove anything whatsoever. And it definitely doesn't prove that he died. And I don't understand why people think it's ok to committ suicide without damaging the body, but it's absolutely not ok to committ suicide by damaging the body.

@Arcangelo You're on the wrong path with this stuff. Those videos are not evidence of aliens. I promise. I could actually bet 100 billion usd that the things on those videos are not aliens. And George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell are either fraudsters or completely deluded. And Tucker Carlson and Fox News are idiots. Just a friendly warning, which probably wont make a difference, but whatever.

Loneliness. Unloved. Disliked.

Life is like something in a vise which gets squeezed tighter and tighter as time goes on. At birth it's loose, and then it constantly gets squeezed tighter and tighter, right before death it's at its tightest. And then you get reborn and it starts all over again.

I don't know. Time makes everything worse. Keeping your hand in boiling water for 2 seconds is worse than 1 second. And 5 seconds is worse than 2 seconds. Etc. I don't even want to think about how painful the future will be.

I think eternal recurrence might be true, and it's a horrific thought. But I stopped thinking about it because as far as I know it's unprovable.

Sorry for talking like that in my post above, but I'm sick of everything and I've had enough of life. I think I have never been feeling as bad as I do now..

That doesn't make any sense. But ok. @Eternal Unity It's possible to hallucinate and get voices in your head while sober too.. Pyramids aren't evidence that we have been visited.. Whatever..

And how could I explore aliens? The scientists are searching for aliens 24/7.

That's just belifs. And maybe stuff which you have hallucinated while tripping balls. Evidence please. Grainy fuzzy low-res pictures or videos of something which could be anything doesn't cut it.

They are forced to believe in anything (bs) so that they can fit in.
