'We've seen how that ends': George Clooney calls out vilification of Meghan Markle
"More than half of American adults and more than seventy-five percent of young Americans believe in intelligent extraterrestrial life.
American Cosmic now available!? |
This level of belief rivals that of belief in God.
American Cosmic examines the mechanisms at work behind the thriving belief system in extraterrestrial life, a system that is changing and even supplanting traditional religions.
Over the course of a six-year ethnographic study, D.W. Pasulka interviewed successful and influential scientists, professionals, and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who believe in extraterrestrial intelligence, thereby disproving the common misconception that only fringe members of society believe in UFOs.

She argues that widespread belief in aliens is due to a number of factors including their ubiquity in modern media like The X-Files, which can influence memory, and the believability lent to that media by the search for planets that might support life.
American Cosmic explores the intriguing question of how people interpret unexplainable experiences, and argues that the media is replacing religion as a cultural authority that offers believers answers about non-human intelligent life."
Going Bananas and Food for Thought?
Clooney, Catch-22 and crop circles?-) |
I must be going bananas, because I'm seeing them everywhere now;-) |
There's probably a message here, but WHO knows?-)
Maybe the message is that this planet has always been f#ckin' bananas and that ain't gonna change anytime soon?
I'll have to ask Mike Clelland if a flying elephant could be considered a screen memory as well, just to bring up the "Owlephant" in the room;-)
Man Killed by Lightning Near Dubbo the Same Week the Royal's Visit Brings Rain?
Tim Burton and Albert Finney in Big Fish (2003) |
Then again, maybe it's the "Big Fish" in the room that we should be paying attention to here?-)
RIP Albert Finney?
We're gonna need a bigger boat?-)
