Well put.
Got a piece of it? If not, you have nothing. If you have a piece of it, call Art Bell. Call Hoagland, but he doesn't believe in these things so he'll probably hang up.
Will be interesting . . . would be interesting . . .
to see the line your gums and lips form when you see such up close.
And you will.
for the ping list, I think.
Oh, I think I have quite a lot more than you . . . a construction on reality much broader; less rigid; less narrow; less brittle; more applicable to what is.
I have been watching the sky for 60 years, amateur astonomer. Every day, every night. Seen a lot of things--no UFOs. Present any hard evidence, an ashtray, a handtowel, a pillow mint, anything.
IOW, no hard evidence.
You sure sound like a high priest of the religion of Scientism.
Fascinating.
You keep right on being super cautious about them thar TYPE II ERRORS. I hear tell it's much more fun to die from a TYPE II error. Some rumors are that absolute dismembered, decapitated death from a TYPE II error doesn't REALLY leave you dead. But, then, you know how rumors are.
If you have hard evidence, present it.
I could probably think of a few thousand folks I'd rather present it to first.
I'm not overly fond of chipping through the hard outer layers to get info in. If it doesn't at least seep in--even if slowly, I'm more likely to decide it's not worth the struggle.
But, like I said . . .
You go right on keeping that DEATH GRIP on your preferred way to die--via a TYPE II error.
All the while saying louder and louder in your own mind your favorite beloved mantra:
"THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A TYPE II ERROR!"
"THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A TYPE II ERROR!"
"THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A TYPE II ERROR!"
"THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A TYPE II ERROR!"

Please God, let there be no such thing as a TYPE II ERROR. My pride couldn't stand it.
Oh, that's right. High priests of Scientism don't believe in God either.
My error.
No hard evidence. Case closed.
The case is far from closed.
Now minds are another matter.

It's one thing to have an open mind, and quite another to believe ridiculous crap.
To reject ridiculous crap is an internal mental assessment of the evidence.
Rejecting nonsense is not evidence of a closed mind.
Oh yeah, and that moment was witnessed by a Senator who happens to be a vampire.
Have you ever examined George Kelly's ROLE CONSTRUCT theory etc.
There's the issue of personal constructs. No individual nor culture has ever been found anywhere which used more than 26 constructs with which to construe, define, channel reality.
Permeability is an interesting concept within that body of data.
So is the breadth of . . . scope of applibility of the primary constructs.
Anyway--have been quite happy with mine on all such scores.
I might hazard some guesses about yours. But you're only interested in tangible evidence.
Not sure what you do about loving other people . . . that pesky intangible stuff . . .
I'm not familiar with George Kelly or his theory.
It sounds as if he, and perhaps you, believe that reality can be tailored to your personal taste. Is that accurate?
And I'm not sure where the "loving other people" angle fits into this thread at all.

-- - - - -
NO! NOT AT ALL in the sense that you seem to mean. 0.00% accurate.
Perhaps you're that accurate in your assumptions about UFO's, too.
Loving people . . . perhaps that one's worth pondering some more.
Not waiting for a response, I went ahead and did some research.
Kelley is correct that each of us creates our own reality, but even he isn't saying that it changes physical reality. In your reality, UFOs and other psychic and prophetical things may be real, but that doesn't make them real.
I believe there's a one reality. Whether or not one is able to discern it is a different matter.
