I am teaching you serious epistemology.

The resemblance to your Nazi neighbor is superficial.

The point is that your mind holds gross double-standards and biases in is applications of proof, evidence, and reasons. You are unconscious of this double-standard so you take something like the existence of Napoleon as a fact but not UFOs, even though in fact the evidence for both are of the same kind.

99% of what you know is unverified hearsay. Yet you don't act like it and you criticize others for lack of verification in their worldview. That's the self-bias you're overlooking.

This is the topic of skepticism. Skepticism is badly misused by the ego-mind. I am always pointing out the double-standards and biases in the mind's application of skepticism. If you are going to be skeptical about UFOs then I get to use that same skepticism against everything you believe. When we do that you will see that your worldview cannot pass the test.

This UFO topic is precisely one of bad epistemology. But bad epistemology on the part of the normies, the UFO deniers. They deny UFOs on the basis of being careful, rigorous, and scientific, but in fact they are being sloppy, lazy, closedminded, and unscientific. Again, because people do not understand the epistemology of science properly. There is nothing unscientific about aliens visiting Earth.

Thanks a lot for this response Leo! I will deeply contemplate on it because you have said things in that reply that shook my whole epistemic foundation. Thank you!

Many besides Lazar.

Plenty of credible whistleblowers.

I have several good UFO books in my book list.

The Roswell crash basically explains everything. The US gov has bodies from that crash. Study Roswell.

I found this guy yesterday talking about crazy shit namely the project looking glass bob Lazar mentioned



I would be really cool tho if we can build an element 115 space ship and visit other star systems

so is your alien consciousness discovery linked to aliens we are seeing in the news or what?

These comparisons make me laugh at times. Leo can correct me if I’m wrong here. But I’m pretty sure that his labelled ‘alien conciousness’ is not that of some alien like being who might be walking around on another planet in this physical universe, or flying ufo’s to earth or whatever. From states of consciousness that I’ve found myself in, it seems quite clear to me that what he means is a state of consciousness so alien to what you can process from an ordinary human state, or even from huge degrees of awakened states. A completely different level, a completely different dimension of consciousness, that there is no physical being, there is no walking around, no physical universe. So beyond that, so incredibly clever, gymnastics of a mind that’s so in sync, doing its own shit, that I have no idea what is, hence why it’s so alien. But it’s all just so incredible on levels that unless you directly experience it, you just will not at all understand. I feel I can gain this limited understanding of the direction it goes mind wise, because of my previous awakenings and how they work in a sense. Literally off to a completely different dimension. Explanation is likely near on impossible. But the memory and a knowing will just sit within you. Anyway, yea that’s much more aligned with what I imagine alien conciousness to be, rather than the mind of a physical alien being that’s knocking around flying spaceships and that to different planets. Although a mind that is doing that, would obviously be more advanced than our own, but I’m certain that’s not what he means

Serious epistemology doesn't seek to flatten all claims. It asks that we adjust our confidence based on the strength and coherence of the evidence.

The key distinction in Napoleon and aliens on earth is to be found in the evidentiary weight and corroboration of the two claims. Napoleon: massive convergent corroboration - thousands of consistent records from independent sources. UFOs: no corroboration or weak at best, unverifiable anecdotes, blurry media, no physical artifacts confirmed by independent analysis.

You can rationally believe Napoleon existed without direct evidence because the network of corroboration is overwhelming. You can rationally reject "aliens visiting earth" because it's not and you have not empirically verified it.

This is not a double standard. It's a proper respect for evidentiary weight.

Leo may have proven it to himself, but he has shown no proofs, and when asked for them, he simply says the proofs are in the various books he's recommended. The problem with this is a collection of books is insufficient to arrive at his conclusion, because you would need his interpretive frame to arrive at it, which books can't provide. 

You can read fairy tales until you're blue in the face. Just stick with it - sooner or later you'll know the dragons are real.
