I have stated quite clearly on this thread that I am perfectly willing to believe we have been visited if presented with verifiable evidence.

Perhaps you have difficulty understanding my earth-based language.

Willing is better than some.

It just seems that you insist on a level of proof at this point in time that is highly unlikely. This may well change any day but at the moment--seems unlikely.

And the unlikely probably has little to do with the realities involved of the existence of such stuff and a lot to do with other issues surrounding those realities.

It has been said that extraordinary phenomena require extraordinary proof. Fine, to a point.

Toooooo rigid a stance of toooooo narrow a position in such directions automatically walls off early alerts to contingencies which can be devastating.

Lots of things are . . . unlikely to be evident until it's too late. Actually, it's already too late.

But learning to cope with new paradigm shifts likely happens best out of a super crisis context. Dealing with these realities at an unknown point in the future may well be overwhelming for a lot of people who have taken comfort--unwise comfort--to me--in a seemingly mindless cleaving to a TYPE II error vs a more balanced attitude and approach.

Actually, skepticism is not only wise, on the whole, but essential in this area. There's far too much disinformation and chaff compared to bits of fact puzzle pieces. We must be skeptical. We, imho, especially have to be skeptical of claims that ET's et al are benign or our saviors.

I just get weary of the seemingly knee jerk dismissive and especially the knee jerk derisive attitude that plays so well the pied piper tune of the puppet masters. Those jokers are not anyone's good and reliable friends. They would sell each other to satan in a flash for higher rank. They certainly have no affection for the rest of us.
