* * *Ciao Comradniks;
Sweet falacy & the Humanities:
This morning's caffeine & sugar rush is Great!
The Humanities are a lovely subject to contemplate as is Hard Archeology &
Anthropology.
When we do find 'temporally displaced' objects impossibly placed/out of place
in 'time' we tend to just BLOW IT OFF.
Enter the likes of master debunker J.Allen Hynek who no rational scientific
mind would be likely spurn in regards to scientific process nor integrity.
His ultimate stance is history and 'hard-evidence' is so tedious, bland, and
easily shoved off onto some back shelf.
How should history regard 'flying shields' that breach the impregnable walls of
the ancient island city of Tyre with 'beams of light; when otherwise the
Macedonian's siege would have likely failed. Well, thats just 'myth;' right;
but is duely recorded 'myth' all the same. And pretty much 'every other
aspect' to the Alexandrian chronicles are considered 'hard-historic-data.'
Those pesky 'flying disks' are always popping up like piss-ants at your picnic
anyway.
And oddly some centuries before that a deluded religious oddball by the name of
Jonah was swallowed/dead & survived/back from the dead having been in the belly
of a USO-oh crap-I mean a sperm whale in the Mediterranean Sea with bad stomach
gas. And when he got mugged by the Japanese turtle, well that was just the
frosting on the cake------------oh yea!
Aside: I've found that Japanese tourists with those nice-state-of-the-art
cameras are just as onerous as the turtles anyday.
But after the fish old Jonah just happened to predict the future 'Total
destruction of Tyre;' the fish told him, right? And which seemed just a bit of
a stretch at the time. And tenacious as the future Alexander indeed was, his
low tech approach would have required a bit more luck than chance was likely to
avail any plucky conqueror. Without massive modern artillary and hi-tech air
superiority a modern tank-division or two would have been hard put to breach
those ancient massive multi-staged walls of Tyre.
?And what in the bloody hell did Ancient Ysraeli Pre-Helenic myth have to do
with Macedonian-Greek Platonically educated WarLords and their belief
system---->?Belief in ancient USO-Fish predicting FlyingShield air superiority
back-up? Oh yea, right, Alexander went to India and heard of the good old
ancient 'Vimana' wars etc.; but oops oh crap, Al's India thing was after Tyre.
Oh hell; we've always got Swamp-Gasss; or maybe just over-educated into
oblivious-credentialitis-pedantis chondriasis, gas.
Whatever injects 'data' into the collective consciousness at any juncture in
history is, as usual, to end up as flying turtles or what-have-you. But does
this necessarily 'debunk' the 'exotic/but maybe exotically real' causitive
agent for starting the 'myth?' Can legends ever be said to have been rooted in
(not necessarily) prozaic fact subject to the poo-pooing of our erst-while
social scientists. And this stuff is NOT HARD SCIENCE but rather spongey &
soft science because I'VE NEVER MET TWO SOCIAL SCIENTIST-PRACTITIONERS who
AGREE on ANY PRACTICAL POINT. So what indeed are they 'expert' at other than
their own 'extremely humanly-quirky' MODUS of INTERPRETATION?
HARD EVIDENCE: Pilot's testimonies(often military), exotic accompanying
physical anomolies, hard-radar-targets, etc. 'ad infinitum' do yet fall within
the range of empirical credibility. And NO CONVENTIONAL THEORY has even the
SLIGHTEST HOPE of explaining the PROVEN(not myth) phenomenon of "Spooky Action
@ (impossibly vast)Distance" for instance and this IS hard evidence as well.
So much for the silliness of 'conventional/established' LAWFUL theory.
IRISH MYTH & FOLKLORE: There was a prince(likely a local warlord's kid) who
happened to be well known to his neighbors and also own a very cool white
stallion to ride. And prince & horse had a minor abduction 'thing' occur to
them. An exotic quasi-human female lured the princeling(white stud & all) into
a shimmering silver eliptoid floating 'thing/vessel.' Horney princes are an
easy catch. And the guy down in South America had it easy because he got to
come right back and got a 'new set of his own newly grown teeth' in the bargain
to go with his toss in the hay with the wierd-but-horney hyper-red head.
The Irish Prince floated away into a mist not to be seen again for a couple of
centuries when he was deposited back in his place but obviously not in his
'time.' Yea I know Irish Princes speaking outdated forms of their languange
riding White-Stallions & sporting anciently crafted garb, weapons, and
horse-tack are a dime-a-dozen in big old Ireland. And like Bram Bones these
guys spoof the locals all the time. Everyone knows that the Irish are B.larney
S. Artists extraordinaire and don't kiss the Blarney stone if ya' don't want
the dew of last nights after-closing 'pint's' drainage upon your lips.
Tourists are nearly as gullible as UFOniks!~;-)
AFTER NOTE: Budd Hopkin, I believe recorded, some (yea I know) odd post
abduction hypnotically regressed (yadda yadda) undecipherable language from I
believe Betty Andreasson of "Andreasson Affair" notoriety.
Purportedly the 'unknown jibberish/star language' was transcribed phoenetically
and later 'translated' as an ancient form of GAELIC by a credible/credentialed
linguistic scholar. ?Genetic Memory?Swamp Gas? More myth, poppycock, & B.S.
hysteria?
By the way; that Andreasson 'Gaelic/StarLanguage message' would make the hair
stand up on end with goose-flesh in the bargain. But every social-scientist of
any standing well-knows that we homo-sapiens-sapiens have a specific 'node'
within our cerebrum for housing Myth-B.S. and other forms of fireside
entertainment . . . Enjoy!~:-)~JH~

Let me just add one more example that it is not contentious or politically
loaded. Many Americans nowadays believe that sugar is a stimulant. For example,
they believe that if their children eat sugared cereal for breakfast they will
get a "sugar high" and race around the house causing commotion. I know some
well-educated parents who are convinced they observed this firsthand.
("Ignoring a common cause" logical fallacy.)
I believe this notion arose recently. In a few generations it will be forgotten.
