Is it time to reconsider our support for UFO personalities?
As someone who wholeheartedly believes in the phenomenon, my perspective is shaped by the many credible voices discussing it—especially with a new film releasing soon that features numerous respected individuals sharing astonishing insights.
I have a deep respect for many figures in this field, including Dr. Gary Nolan, David Grusch, and Ross. However, the recent shift in the conversation towards psychic abilities has caught my attention. While I remain open to exploring extraordinary claims, we must approach these topics with a critical lens.
Until now, I understood the reluctance of reporters and individuals with security clearances to disclose evidence or reveal sources; I recognize the nature of journalism. Yet, with discussions of psychic abilities becoming more mainstream—especially from a respected Stanford scientist—we in the community that consumes and shares this information must hold these influential figures accountable. It’s important to maintain a standard of inquiry, rather than uncritically accepting their statements.
I’m not advocating for a boycott because they are inherently wrong or malicious; rather, I urge us to reassess our support to differentiate ourselves from groups like QAnon that follow any narrative without scrutiny.
In today’s attention-driven economy, if we are going to invest our trust and focus on these personalities, they need to reciprocate. While Ross may argue that he provided valuable information through his exposure of Jake Barber, I would still emphasize that more is needed.
Until someone provides undeniable, unedited video evidence of a UFO summoning, witnessed by numerous credible observers, it’s vital for us to raise our voices and demand more. No more vague conversations on podcasts without concrete proof. This is akin to democratic participation—our attention is our vote, and we must treat it with respect.
You raise some excellent points about the responsibility we have as a community to critically engage with the narratives surrounding UFOs and related phenomena. The shift towards discussing psychic abilities within the context of UFOs adds a layer of complexity that deserves careful scrutiny.
It’s important to differentiate between healthy skepticism and outright dismissal. We should be open to extraordinary claims, but that openness needs to be balanced with a demand for evidence and accountability. Just because someone has credibility does not mean we should accept their assertions blindly, especially when they push the boundaries of conventional understanding.
Boycotting personalities in the UFO space could be a way to signal that we want rigorous, evidence-based discourse rather than sensationalism or unverified anecdote. This could help elevate the conversation and encourage those in the field to uphold higher standards. After all, as you mentioned, we live in an attention economy where our support shapes the focus of these discussions.
Ultimately, it’s about fostering a community that values critical thinking and transparency. If we can advocate for that while still allowing space for exploration of new ideas, we can create a more robust framework for understanding the UFO phenomenon that doesn’t veer off into uncritical acceptance or conspiracy thinking. Your call for accountability is a constructive way to navigate this complex landscape.
