Hey ma, I’m famous!

Quote of the Day:

A book is a dream you hold in your hand.

Neil Gaiman

  1. Greg,

    The RationalWiki entry is accurate for someone who lives on the surface of Reality. They are simply whistling past the graveyard.

    There are hungry things that find such people tasty. HA!

    “The universe we seeing playing out in space and time may be just the surface level, where we float like little boats while leviathans stir in the deep.”

    George Musser

  2. Decline in UFO sightings?
    1. People are now very technologically astute. Even if they can’t immediately identify what they see, they are more than likely to assume it’s just some new-fangled technology and shrug it off.
    2. The proliferation of drones. My neighborhood skies are now filled with personal drones. It’s very likely that people assume what they’re seeing is somebody’s drone (and they’d probably be correct over 95% of the time).
    3. Smartphones. Nobody looks up from a phone screen except to take a selfie. That’s the behavior of almost everyone under 40 years of age in developed countries. A guy stepped into the street while texting and full body slammed right into the side of my car while I was waiting at a stoplight. He bounced off and kept walking and texting without ever looking up. If he couldn’t see my big blue car right in front of his nose, I doubt he’d ever notice a UFO in the sky.
    4. Millennials don’t care about UFOs unless they’re in an electronic game (aliens are for game characters). I bet many would remain completely unfazed if they saw a UFO in reality. I doubt they would even make a mental note of it.
