Ok let's see more universities around the world put these claims to the test, ones perhaps with more prestige.

How many doctors and researchers will you need to accept this isn't a normal biological find? They have had others already investigate them, and at what point do we accept their findings? If you think this doctor's credentials do not meet the criteria for respectable what is respectable? I am honestly curious, I can shrug and say ok so that's interesting and move on, my life literally doesn't change.

Lots, more than a university nobody has heard of. There's a number of prestigious universities and medical sciences facilities out there. Peer reviewed and properly critiqued. That's how science works, more professional people the better.

Ok, so all the best and most favored colleges study it and say it's real, then what? Then what happens, your reality implodes life changes? Or it doesn't matter and you continue on. Just like exactly what happens now, with these doctors studying this and saying it's real.

If the evidence survives a rigorous peer reviewed process and a plurality of scientists agree, then i'll believe it.

Ok so it is found to be an NHI, and then what? Will your world implode? Will you pivot to ghosts and cryptids to rail against in your quest to dismiss things that you don't like? I think it's interesting, but it's not going to change my life, if we meet NHI and they give us free energy then I will care.

No, i think it is healthy to have a questioning mind and not just accept anything somebody says. I don't believe in ghosts, big foot, ogopogo , or visiting aliens. Do i think life exists elsewhere even though i have no aliens on hand to prove it, yes. I believe it's likely life exists elsewhere because all the components necessary for life to exists exists here and throughout the universe. If life can evolve here it can evolve somewhere else.
The problem i have with the idea of visiting aliens is the time and distances involved. It just seems incredibly unlikely any machine or life could survive for such long periods in the vastness of space. Does it mean i think it's impossible, no, just unlikely. So if somebody comes to me with a tale of thousand year old corpses of aliens, i'm going to be skeptical and demand proof.
The UFO world is full of grifters and delusional people and being skeptical of outlandish claims is natural and a sign of a healthy thinking mind.

Ok so why do you care? What if all of that is real, and you are very wrong, then what? So, you are wrong and it's all real and your life doesn't change. Why do you think it necessary to worry about this in the first place and try to dismiss or debunk anything? Real or fake, it doesn't matter, but you are wasting real time in your life on this tilting at paranormal windmills.

I think finding the truth of things is important.

[–] MuuuaadDib@lemm.ee -5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So part of any discovery is being objective, do you think your bias would allow you to be objective, or are you dismissing things with bias before the data comes out? Such as personal attacks on the people investigating such as respected doctors? How do you stay objective and look at things while also announcing you do not believe in anything?

[–] FreeBooteR69@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So this is a religion to you isn't it? You feel that i should have some kind of blind faith and accept propositions without rigorous scientific investigation and debate. Do you always accept what somebody tells you without question?

[–] MuuuaadDib@lemm.ee -4 points 1 year ago

No, it's research and how do you think any researcher is going to find answers going into research with bias? People on here are moving goalposts, dismissing with no evidence or information on the subject other than their opinion. Nor from these responses do they have any background in science or anthropology and just making claims only relevant to their bias. Papier-mâché seriously.... and they want to be taken seriously?

Aliens are made of wet toilet paper? Galactic conquest will be easier for humans than I initially thought. PREPARE THE GENERATION SHIPS!

Well, I guess those cakes are just out of this world.
