”and it's also some kind of psychological, spiritual experience occurring and originating perhaps in another dimension."
First of all, I’m not much for appeals to authority (which that is), and that goes double for anyone from Harvard.
Second, “some kind of psychological, spiritual [not to mention entirely subjective] experience” isn’t science. Just because people believe something isn’t proof of anything. The Son of Sam believed the barking dog next door was telling him things, but that doesn’t mean his neighbor had a telepathic English-speaking dog, it meant that David Berkowitz was a raving, homicidal lunatic.
And finally, appealing to the authority of a psychiatrist (from Harvard, no less) about the reality of alleged alien abductions is like appealing to the authority of a plumber when seeking enlightenment about the human cardiovascular system.
Here’s a question for you: why is it that all of these “abduction” “victims” are always unaccomplished nobodies, and usually very eccentric/borderline mentally ill.
Good grief. What a stupid effin comment.
I wasn't debating with you. I was introducing information into the conversation. That's not an "appeal to authority" just citing a source that I thought might be interesting.
Don't bother commenting to me again. I'm done with you.
