The S-4 Project: The crazy sub-text of Ufology

Here is a link to an aspect of the UFO phenomenon that shows just how convoluted and insane the topic is:

And when one accesses the link above, Google will accommodate you with a myriad of images that confirm the underbelly (and maybe the overbelly) of the phenomenon is too psychotic to deal with intelligently.

After some time had passed in observing this phenomenon, I realised that the observer and the observed had a major issue that everyone denied. What is it? Some phenomenon we cannot measure and like many things it is unpredictable so we want to assert a control which then becomes divisive and creates chaos becomes no one wants to accept this, the incomplete nature of thought, theories etc. It ( the phenomenon ) is numinous, charismatic and unpredictable so to control it make order out of it based on our incomplete knowledge base, we naturally end up with one lunatic idea, concept theory etc after another to assert order which are in reality chaotic. Your image base the link to it attests to this. Thought being an incomplete base is prone to errors and one error compounds the next, squared cubed, etc. The theories (as in your example ) then become nearly psychotic. As a whole Ufology has created one explanatory mythology after another which an astute skeptic always points out. At the same time, the phenomenon does exist. For me, at this point, you could say this has been a learning curve that taught me an unexpected lesson. I look back on my thoughts I have expressed and most of them are as nutty as the others. And so, you are not alone in this. far from it. We are all in the same boat although nearly everyone denies this...and it ( Ufology ) gets so abstracted as to be meaningless. This is called crazy wisdom. Over time some become skeptics, some run out of material, some just weary of it without accepting it is “magical” and not amenable to thought as it’s constituted.

Nice Bruce,

Love the "crazy wisdom." Had to review that with Wiki and noted the …“Ajrayana term with the trickster-type behavior of teachers…”

-Now that is funny under recent circumstances.

And yes, weary is it.
