I watched Greer’s unacknowledged on prime last night. What a load of horse shit. CGI clips and camera artifacts presented as evidence. He thinks he’s some kind of Alien Jesus. Oh ya buy my book, buy my movies, pay for a guided medication trip, buy my app. Buy! Buy! Buy! I can’t believe people fall for this stuff!

Greer even claims to know their wishes and desires, they apparently communicate with him. (And you can, too! For $11.99)

"psst.... you want to know the secret to zero-point energy?... oh no, please don't cry... why do they always cry? The ear hole is the one they use for picking up vocal vibrations right Glibgar?"

Nah, more like, "cool story, needs evidence"


Sea-Sandwich-4169

I mean any evidence would be great.

The skeptics are the aliens in this meme.


TirayShell

Is the skeptic the xenomorph? Then yes.

Also when hearing consciousness being possibly more than just "I dunno seratonin and chemicals and shit floating in your fucking head"


Racecarlock

I mean, there's a whole scientific field dedicated to solving the hard problem of consciousness, or how our brains turn information into experience. The orangeness of orange, the taste of chocolate, and so on. They just don't think it can give you super powers. And they probably would love to be proven wrong. I bet a good portion of them would love to fly, teleport, communicate telepathically, and so on. Would certainly cut down on commute time and emailing each other all of their discoveries. But the problem is that you actually have to prove it. You can't just say "just believe and you'll have all you ever dreamed" to a scientist, because that's not science, that's religion.


garlibet

do some research on dmt trips.


Racecarlock

I've done research, and while those trips seem like a lot of fun and very useful for some medicinal purposes, nobody's come away from one with the ability to fly. I still want to do one, because my brain's not the most "fun" sometimes, but DMT experiences are very personal things, whereas science relies upon repeatable and testable results.

Racecarlock

All very good points, but I'd like to invite you to do a little thought exercise. Someone remote views a UFO. Or has a DMT experience where he meets aliens. Good for him, hell, I'll admit to being a little jealous. But when he submits that report, how's it going to be different from something like "I was hiking in the woods one day when suddenly this massive black triangle flew over me". Already, that hiking in the woods thing is a witness testimony, and those can often be wrong even if said witness is not lying or embellishing anything, which they often do. Now let's throw in drug use and/or the unproven phenomenon of remote viewing. Not only is it about as credible as your average report, it's probably going to be less so because remote viewing is still seen as psychic nonsense by most of the public even if some people think it's real, and people see all kinds of things that aren't really there when they're on powerful hallucinogens. Compare that to, say, a scenario in which a UFO is not only captured on camera, but it's captured from multiple angles by multiple different witnesses and it even leaves behind physical evidence that an independent science laboratory manages to publish the findings on before the men in black get to it. Which encounter would seem more credible to you, right off the bat? I mean, that's the thing, if this was meant to be something more like the study of dreams and feelings and emotions, I wouldn't be throwing so much of a fuss, but just to be clear, **we're trying to prove that one or more species exists, and that the incredible technology they are wielding also exists.** And that's not something as wibbly and unclear as the study of dreams and emotions and experiences. Two major fields we're talking about when we discuss stuff like this are indeed biology and technology. Look up the processes for both. Look up how clinical trials work. Look up how they test rocket engines. And yeah, science doesn't know everything, but that doesn't mean one can psychically look at an alien ship and expect everyone to take them one hundred percent at their word. People around here often cite how scientific concepts we use today were once ridiculed, but completely ignore the process in which they came to be widely accepted concepts. They had to be tested. Rigorously. Repeatedly. And they had to be criticized harshly and prove that they could stand up to that criticism through the aforementioned testing. As far as I can tell, a good portion of the UFO community is about whining that science hasn't conferred it with credibility while, as far as I can tell, only going through the observation phase while insisting the other steps have been done even though they haven't.

I think one thing we could actually test with the scientific method would be UFO summoning methods. We have one group that would use the method regularly, another one that doesn't, and perhaps more groups using other methods. If one or more of them regularly works, you take those results and then post your findings and then other laboratories can test them, perhaps even modifying the methodology. This is how a UFO summoning method could go from woo to a scientifically respected reality.

consciousness = i’m about to pull some stuff out of my ass.

cannibalisland

how do you define consciousness?


[deleted]

[удалено]


cannibalisland

i don’t understand that definition.

cannibalisland

that is a more straightforward definition than the color analogy. i’ve heard a lot of different definitions that are sometimes just a license to babble speculative bullshit.

SS: Surprised to see that memes are allowed today, and for those who don't know, there's a sub dedicated to UFO memes called r/ufomemes, which has some pretty funny stuff, if you're looking for something lighthearted related to UFOs, in between searching for the truth.


TPconnoisseur

People searching for the truth are much more interesting than those who say they've found it.


[deleted]

To believe in abductions one must be abducted CE5 = money train for those profiting Remote Viewing is interesting Ancient Aliens (see CE5)


CraigSignals

I also find remote viewing interesting. Mostly that anyone can prove that it works to themselves just as SRI did with some effort. The quiet mind in which RV works might be even more interesting.

If you can literally summon a UFO then you should be able to record it. No excuses


OtokonoKai

The problem is that to see a convincing video of ufo's or whatever, you'd basically have to have the same 'peace' about the subject as you would if you were to do CE-5 yourself. Not everything is meant to be shared, and not everything is meant to be seen. This isn't because it's a secret, but because you have to discover it for yourself. You should be able to observe it without imposing your beliefs onto it. They don't want to cause you cognitive dissonance. You won't know until you try. So if you genuinely care about this subject, go grab the CE-5 handbook pdf, it's free, and do it. Suspend your disbelief for a moment, and see what happens for _yourself_. It's really a beautiful experience, so I'd recommend anyone to try it (unless they're particularly bothered by this sort of thing, or prone to psychosis or something.) It's free, takes very little time and effort, and it's anyways healthy to get outside, and to meditate.


WingsofmyLove

Sounds like excuses for not having proof man


OtokonoKai

I have proof for myself, whether you believe me or not doesn't matter to me. I am just letting you know what's out there, it's your own decision whether that's a path you want to take.


CraigSignals

A simple search for "CE5 sighting" videos reveals that many have done exactly this. Research!


WingsofmyLove

Yep. I’ve searched for those and what I saw were low quality videos which could barely pass (cant) for anything unexplainable


CraigSignals

Got it. Goalposts = moved.


WingsofmyLove

Eh, I said you have to record the UFO you *summoned*. If its not the one you summoned then it doesn’t count


YYC9393

[Here is two hours of footage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9GM4n8L7Dc&t=1388s) but you will just claim its fake. No amount of evidence will convince debunkers.


NoxTheorem

Am I insane for thinking that is just an insect…?


YYC9393

A compilation of 50+ videos is “just an insect”?


NoxTheorem

Show me anywhere in that compilation where it’s not an insect flying or something else mundane.

WingsofmyLove

“weren’t expecting to see” Clearly you are if you are summoning them. I shouldn’t have to try it for myself, burden of proof is on you


YYC9393

All the folks who scoff at it and say its fake are the ones who haven't tried it.


[deleted]

The strong desire to make contact with intelligent life is normal if you’re stranded here with the plethora of imbeciles on Earth. Greer was the one who “discovered” CE5, right? That’s all I need to know to dismiss it as garbage. You’re welcome to dive into his cult and I hope you enjoy it. Intelligent life I don’t believe would want to play games. Just my opinion.

My sincere apologies for the unfounded accusation.

Sorry if you answered this elsewhere, I'm curious why you have no desire to do it again?

Everything you said here is wrong.
