While it might seem like that, that's because not a single thing posted here has ever convinced me of anything. Sure, I can't give you an explanation for everything, but that doesn't mean there isn't one that doesn't involve extraterrestrials and/or their technology. Same with the supernatural. As Mulder said, people WANT to believe. That doesn't mean they are right.
The sad fact is that I am one of those people that would absolutely fucking LOVE it if (benign) aliens made their appearance known. Hell, I might even be ok with hostile ones if they somehow were capable of getting here but not able to immediately enslave us or wipe us out, because it might actually unite the fucking planet instead of all this divisiveness we currently have. And on a more cynical note, do you think we're going to be hiring for diversity in the tech sector if we know that an alien armada is on its way? Fuck no, diversity and wokeness will die a sudden and glorious death. Bring on the motherfucking aliens, at this point I'd welcome an intergalactic war over fucking clown world.
The difference between me and most of the people in this thread is that it would take a lot, lot, lot more evidence before I will consider that literally the most extreme explanation (aliens) is the only reasonable one left. And so far, nothing has produced that level of evidence. Eyewitness accounts, insider leaks, videos...none of them rise to the level needed to make me exclude the fact that people are unreliable observers or just straight up shitty people. I've said it for years since MFF made me watch that awful video about Bob Lazar...show me the fucking Element that he claims to have hidden away, prove to me that it is really is what he claims, and I'll start admitting that perhaps I was wrong. But until that happens, Lazar and everyone associated with him is nothing but a fucking con man. Or perhaps just massively delusional, because I know it is completely possible that some of these people think this shit actually happened to them. If Oprah can have people "hypnotized" and suddenly remember childhood trauma that didn't exist before, and is probably completely made up, then I'm sure some loser like Lazar can make himself believe all the shit he says actually happened. Doesn't mean that it did. And that's why he's a "crackpot." Not everyone who allows for the possibility of aliens is a crackpot despite what you say, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong for disagreeing with them either.
