Any sufficiently advanced technology.
...is, yes, indistinguishable from magic. That does not mean all that cannot be distinguished from magic is therefore advanced technology. Bald-faced lies, if demanded to be true yet contradicted by evidence, would also be indistinguishable from magic.
The human capacity for reasoning and deduction has been relativly unchanged for a long time. The ancient greeks proved this.
The ancient Greeks, namely Aristotle in his On Sophistical Refutations, soundly repudiate the means by which you and the UFO enthusiasts go about their business. Those methods were wrong then, and they're still wrong. The human knowledge of good reasoning and deduction need not change when it is shown to be correct.
These are evidence that some manipualative memory screening technology is capable of playing into the current belief systems.
It may also be evidence that people trying to make a buck from gullible UFO enthusiasts are capable of coming up with pure speculation that incorporates contemporary trends in thinking. I might just as well say that Nargles interfere with my computer by mimicking software and hardware failures. Would you like me to sell you a Nargle Protection Plan for your computer? Only $1,000 a year.
The question is, does this false memory screening originate within the human psyche or is it external?
No. The question is whether the space aliens are doing this. There is a specific hypothesis on the table, if you intend us to follow Karla Turner as you originally requested. Defend it, not the vague, handwaving properties of the huge class of hypotheses from which it was drawn.
Our advancements seem to originate from the hard work of dedicated researchers.
Thank you. I hope you continue to enjoy them. Kindly refrain from ridiculing the methods we use to bring them about.
There is ample evidence that defense research has taken some unusual turns. Remote viewing was one. I do not think any possible avenue would be ignored.
Yet most have been ignored. Just because some pseudoscientific directions were once briefly taken does not mean all should be. The value to defense of remote viewing was proven to be zero, and the military has been generally laughed at by the public for having even considered it.
All such research by definition of purpose would be classified.
Thus explaining the absence of any evidence for that research -- argument from silence. Unfortunately such an absence would also be explained by the absense of the research itself. Affirmation of the consequent.
It all again comes down to one question. Are the extraordinary reports that just keep coming in of internal or external origin?
No. It comes down to whether aliens are abducting humans. You're shifting the goalposts.
I grow tired of these rhetorical games. You hijack a dead thread on alien abductions to post more evidence supposedly of alien abductions. Then when the source is shown to be the charlatan she is, and the topic thoroughly refuted, you try to fall back to some more general and more apparently reasonable position.
As I said before, you draw your opponents out into an extended and exposed position, then you abruptly fall back in order to convey the wrong impression that they have overextended themselves because of ideological reasons. Then you convert the discussion solely into one of ideology.
You have adopted this same approach on every single controversial topic you have raised here. You say you're here for "answers," but I see none of that in your approach. Your pattern of behavior has been repeated, by my count, three times always with the same result. What evidence can you provide that this is not your calculated intent?
