I love researching here and on many other subs, but I've noticed a pretty strange pattern. Don't get me wrong, it's always been there, but it seems so prevalent now.
The weirdest thing about reading discussions regarding alien life is the absolute certainty displayed when stating strictly personal beliefs on the subject, whether founded or unfounded in concrete reality. It's quite bizarre to see, especially when many discussions seem to go as follows.
"I wonder if that video was legit? It makes me wonder how they fly."
"Watch this documentary (name here). They fly by punching holes through space, and they're piloted by (insert trope). They're from the planet (insert name)."
Like, dude, you're saying it like you're presenting proven facts, whereas, in reality, you know as much as anybody else, and if you believe you possess factual knowledge, you only believe so because of the media you've chosen to view.
I understand that some of us wish to believe we hold the keys to knowledgeable gates, and I get why that makes us feel good, but it's the equivalent of saying,
"Oh, yeah. I've met God. He's Korean, and he lives at 165 Pearlygate Avenue. Trust me, bro."
The strangest part is that this post, and many like it, are likely to get downvoted and buried because they don't provide a space for individuals to repeat what they perceive to be knowledgeable/privileged information. Which alludes to a likelihood that there's little interest in furthering the discussion beyond reaffirming one's own unfounded views and opinions.
