I have nothing against harmless loonies. But I dont like you crazies in these forums because people will rightly wonder if you are crazy because you take psychedelics or you take psychedelics because you are crazy.

I believe it is the latter, but the crackpots are clearly overrpresented around here.

Ha, why, because we challenge the status-quo? Because you can't accept the fact, that you don't know everything about the universe? And other people have experienced things you haven't, that are beyond our understanding? Calling people loonies does absolutely nothing, except that it refers you back to your own ignorance and misunderstanding of the possibilities within this galaxy.

You call people "crazies" and "crackpots" because your very own consciousness isn't aware enough to realize the fact that your perspective is only as valid as everyone else's. It doesn't put you on a pedestal. It sheds light on your own ignorance.

Ok man, ok. Everyone can believe whatever they want, that is fine for me. Some of my best friends are total loonies, crackpots and crazies. I tell them often, but they wont listen We still like each other.

But people's beliefs have real world consequences, from research funds that could be spent, say, fighting cancer but are diverted to study 'paranormal phenomena' or ufo sightings, to the many lives of people that have been unnecessarily constrained or outright ruined by religion. So I feel we all have a duty to speak the voice of reason. But I realize people on the other side might think the same and then they become really annoying.

I think researching the abduction phenomenon is on the same level of importance as cancer research. Those lives matter also. Whether you believe it's real or not, it's been documented for eons in just about every culture you look into.

Just because it's "paranormal" doesn't mean it's not real. It's simply beyond our understanding.

I am 100% certain that you have NO FUCKING CLUE what science understands or doesn't. Still you make these deluded claims about what we do or we do not understand, with no knowledge at all.

Read and understand some physics books. It will take you time and effort, if your mind is able at all to understand it at all. Then talk with a little knowledge of the subject matter.

I'm just tired of know-it-all idiots that know nothing.

And contrary to what it might transpire I am actually in good mood

That's what I am talking about. Freaking loonies. As long as you keep your beliefs to yourself, I don't care. If you start to contaminate the public resources with stupid ideas, we need to fight against that.
