We're not going to like throw this out.

Then all of a sudden you get, you start to, you can have a science of like explaining a lot of these synchronicities, a lot of these sort of, you know, mass experiences that seem otherworldly a la what happened in Portugal and, you know, the Fatima sighting of, you know, the Virgin Mary or whatever.

And, you know, 1917, like all, all of these things become, become more realistic in that sort of world model.

E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
Yeah.

E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
So I find that to be an extremely intriguing inroad into whatever's happening in reality.
Know Thyself
E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
And UFOs would be a byproduct of that.
Know Thyself
E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
And then a lot of other weirdness in reality would be byproducts of that.
Know Thyself
E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
But it ends up in a...
Know Thyself
E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
plasticity to reality that I don't think a lot of people really want to face.

E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
It's like sort of a very jarring thought.
Know Thyself
E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
And I understand that.

And I also don't think there's a great... So it's like we were talking about a buildup of anomalies break the paradigm.

So like blackbody radiation in the 1870s, it broke electromagnetism, classical electromagnetism.

in a way that you needed quantum mechanics to explain.

E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
Same with the orbit of Mercury.

So I would say the parapsychology stuff is data that breaks general relativity, quantum mechanics, basic materialist reductionism, but in a way that will be explained by future theory.
Know Thyself
E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
But the reason we don't accept it is because we don't have a theory that neatly explains it.
Know Thyself
E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
And until you have a theory that neatly explains anything, it's just...
Know Thyself
E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
yo, it's an anomaly, you know, and so you can explain it away.
Know Thyself
E178 - Jesse Michels: What UFO Sightings Reveal About Power, Technology, and the Unknown | Jesse Michels
But I would say we systematically discard those.
