The anonymous donor is probably not a medical doctor. Everyone local knows who it is, but they like the air of anonymity.
And, there are zillions of UFOs. Well, a lot of 'em.
That doesn't mean there are aliens in control of them, it just means we don't know what the fucking thing is.
But, yeah, some LSD would be nice.
I think I'm out for the night. It seems likely.
I went outside and looked but I didnt see anything in the sky except the moon and clouds
It's going to be weird not typing to COF every day.
LOL There's a hole in my schedule now! I usually planned on spending like an hour of typing and reading every day - unless one of us was busy. Some days, it'd be even more after my daily tasks were over - like what we often do.
Yeah. I don't know what to say. Nothing you can do about that, at least in regards to him. Maybe he will come haunt you
Probably 'cause you don't have any LSD!
LOL I once was a (paid) speaker at a 'ufologist' convention. This was back in college. Well, by paid I mean they flew me out, got me a hotel room for a weekend, and gave me a stipend while paying for all my food and alcohol. (Needless to say, they never asked me back a second time.)
It was at a convention hall/civic center in Roswell, New Mexico and the crowd was less than pleased with my talk. Man, I opened it up for questions afterwards and the rage was palpable. Frothy morons asked me questions while trying to not swear and have panic attacks.
Anyhow...
The odds of there being intelligent life on other planets: Near enough to be 100%.
The odds of that intelligent life coming to Earth: Near enough to 0%.
Math, logic, and evidence, and other factors (such as distance and desire) mean that there's zero chance extra terrestrial life has visited the planet Earth.
Those same things pretty much mean life is out there, but the list of reasons why there's no ET life on Earth is just too long and too strongly supported for there to be any chance of ET life in our lifetime or probably in any lifetime given the way we treat the planet and the eventual death of our home star.
They were right pissed.
The convention knew that would be my talk and my talk was a counter to another talk - basically a rebuttal or 'different opinion' talk.
Anyhow, I was on a roll. For everyone that got up there to bitch at my conclusions, I had an immediate response where I dished out as much snark as they did. My responses were so smooth and pointed probably because of my alcohol content. I was not drunk - I was just at that level where you give zero shits about being nice and really want to have another drink.
I have kept all that paperwork over the years - and all my journals. They're still sitting in storage. One of these years, I'll dedicate a room in the basement for them. I've kept my journals all these years. I still keep an academic and personal journal - but I've slowed down with both of them. I don't do nearly as much academic reading as I did just five years ago.
So they were mad that you were telling them even though they probably exist they aren't here and they're not coming?
That's funny
