Nobody is saying things shouldn’t be discussed or debated. Why is it being distorted that way?
Speaking for myself, I find it all fascinating. I’m interested. That’s why I come to the thread. I enjoy thinking about the possibilities of UAPs being anything from extraterrestrial to space-time distortions to misunderstood earthly phenomena to human technology. I would say I most enjoy trying to find explanations for things based on what we do know, and find it a lot less interesting to shrug my shoulders and chalk it all up to things we can’t know.
The only thing I’ve consistently rejected or seen consistently rejected are absolute conclusions without evidence. Is anybody attempting to shut down discussions of what is possible? Why can’t those discussions include thoughts of what it would take to believe what seems impossible, or the possibilities of explanations that are less than the fantastic?
From what I’ve seen, the two groups that get pushback are those that state definitive conclusions without evidence, and those that ask for that evidence. From a scientific perspective, which is what this conversation should be grounded in, only one of those groups should receive any pushback. It’s bizarre to mock people who approach this from a scientific perspective. “Oh, some people just need evidence and will only believe something if there’s evidence!” No doubt, man. That’s science.
