I call it the “ship it anyways” mentality and it is the result of operator error, not anomalies.

“The modern scientific ’status quo’ doesn’t like anomalies to get in the way of expected results especially when it deals with this thing called ‘funding’”

You are confusing politics with science and now you know why no great scientific discoveries have ever come from the military or government.

“You’re absolutely correct than I have no proof of PT’s but to deny their possibile existence without serious investigation is simply throwing out the anomaly that doesn’t fit with your expected result”

The problem when it comes to the existence of angels, paraterrestrials, and extraterrestrials, is not that there is any anomalous data, but there is no data whatsoever. If there are no leads to investigate, there can be no “investigation”. And don’t confuse storytelling for data — they are not the same thing — and storytelling is the only thing we have to go by when it comes to angels, paraterrestrials, and extraterrestrials.

I document anomalies on a daily basis but I also understand exactly why management chooses to ignore anomalies. It is because there are two kinds of anomalies: those that are reproducible and those that are not. It would be very counter-productive to sit there and chase your tail all day long, trying to investigate something that is impossible to reproduce. For an anomaly to be useful or educational or financially viable, it must be reproducible — or from a practical point of view, it must at least be reasonably reproducible. Statistics 101 considers anything that cannot be reproduced more than one-in-thirty times to be insignificant, but I have seen companies consider something as low as one-in-ten to be insignificant and to these people, “insignificant” means “unreproducible”. That is politics and production for you — and the military and government are no different in this regard. Still, if the anomaly is reasonably reproducible, the process is always shut down and someone will promptly investigate the anomaly, so it is not like they are ignoring anything.

Besides, this is all irrelevant. Neither the military nor the government are taking in data regarding angels, paraterrestrials, or extraterrestrials. Where there is no data, there can be no anomalous data as well.

Which point didn’t you understand?

Genetic modification goes against everything that evolution represents, most notably, natural (as opposed to artificial) selection, and people like Stephen have this delusion that artificial selection will somehow magically work better than natural selection. Magical thinking is not the same thing as scientific, rational, or logical thinking.

I want you to take a look at the kind of things you compare your genetically engineered superhumans to — Angels, paraterrestrials, ETs, etc. It is very fitting that you would use these kind of things to compare your genetically engineered superhumans to, because they are all just alike since they all only exist in your imagination. You cannot prove the existence of one imaginary being by citing the existence of other imaginary beings.

“Don’t you think a bit strange that ET would come from halfway across the galaxy to study human reproductive systems?”

What I think a bit strange is that anyone would believe that ETs are here, that they have come from halfway across the galaxy, and they are studying human reproductive systems. What was the name of the ET who told you this? Do you have anything real life whose existence isn’t in dispute that you can compare your make believe genetically modified superhumans too? I didn’t think so.

And what would Stephen Hawking know about that? There is a difference between evolution and genetic modification — and they are not the same thing — and what Stephen is talking about is genetic modification, not evolution. Evolution is about the idea of one species transforming into another species, and in the process, hopefully making the species more fit for its environment. Genetic modification is not evolution, it is experimenting with things we don’t understand. I don’t mean humans don’t understand genetics, I mean that humans don’t understand the consequences of the things they tinker and meddle in, for example, like the tinkering and meddling they have been doing with the environment in the last 100 years. Remember how the Industrial Revolution made the same promises about how it would transform humanity into a new and better species; that life would be better for all and peace would rule the world? Well it didn’t happen. Instead humans have bloated CO2 to record levels, polluted our air and water to the point of creating dead zones within them, decimated entire forests and ecologies and as a result, creating so many mass extinctions of life that 70% of biologists are calling this the Sixth Big Extinction event. Humans have yet to learn that, “An organism that thinks only in themes of its own survival will invariably destroy its environment and, as we are learning from bitter experience, will thus destroy itself”, yet they still are arrogant and ignorant enough to believe that they are capable of doing a better job at managing their genes than Nature can.
