Guessing is all well and good, but rarely yields the desired result.I'm guessing you have not read that much scifi?
I've read some that have never been translated into English.

I misunderstood, apologies.
Had he been a physicist or a philosopher you'd have had a point. In fact, he writes horror novels, but is most famous for his book 'Communion' which recounts his experience of being visited by NHI.
Yes, it's from back when they hadn't yet mastered not crashing their saucers into the desert.Oh. Communion. I remember that.
That book is old enough that it predates the aliens' acqusition of drone technology, doesn't it?![]()
Irrelevant to the topic at hand.Guessing is all well and good, but rarely yields the desired result.Some of those SF books are considered eternal truths for billions of people.

Alright, I replied to your question. Maybe that question was irrelevant? The ancient books were talking about UFOs, even though that name wasn't available then.Irrelevant to the topic at hand.
Again, you're moving goals posts. Ancient stories via books, paintings, etc of UFO phenomena are irrelevant to the claim he became a prolific writer due to experience with NHI. If you were a regular reader of high quality scifi, you'd be well aware no experience with NHI required to (1) be a prolific writer of Scifi and (2) writing non "...typical human thinking."Alright, I replied to your question. Maybe that question was irrelevant? The ancient books were talking about UFOs, even though that name wasn't available then.
Good, leave it at that.Sounds like you're not familiar with scifi genre/authors by your comments/claims.
That's a concept many here appear incapable of understanding.I'm not sure that considering something to be interesting is to be automatically conflated with accepting or endorsing it.
Well said.There was a show on UK television back in the 1970s called 'Arthur C Clarke's Mysterious Worlds'. Each week a different topic considered - Aliens, Bigfoot... you get the picture. Nowadays TV is chock full of that stuff but that show was the first. I found it a fascinating watch.
I still watch shows now like 'Ancient Aliens'. That doesn't mean I think Bigfoot is real. I am just as sceptical about that stuff as I am about improbable audio-related claims. However, it still interests me.
What interests me and what doesn't is beyond my conscious control.
Oh so gold. ThanksAliens have perfected the combination of procedural generation and wave function collapse algorithms to be able to travel vast distances in short periods of time inside craft that appear to have minimal exterior dimensions while having infinitely large interior dimensions.
I'm not going to go through 3700+ messages, but just in case as a thread on this topic wouldn't be complete without a link to the infamous and hilarious video of Rev Robert Short channeling Korton. Probably a sane and intelligent fellow by contemporary American standards.

A more Orwellian Newspeak phrase was never uttered in cause of complete bullshit. (Well done.)"... sane and intelligent fellow by contemporary American standards.."![]()
I didn’t say that.A more Orwellian Newspeak phrase was never uttered in cause of complete bullshit. (Well done.)
That's what I get for skipping over the previous 185 pages... mea culpa to you and Orwell.I didn’t say that.
Don't want to ruin it for you but the take away is there's a lot more nutters in the world than you'd hoped.
Well that whole series is on BBC Iplayer - gonna go watch...
