Quite interesting - Mayan day/nights and earth periods

[zenmaster]

One thing you are most certainly imagining is that I was somehow dismissing that Q/A.

...But you are.

But I'm not. There is a difference between acceptance of correlation of some recent events or someone's mystical interpretation of Mayan calendar with timing given in the material, and acceptance of the material itself. There is a logical fallacy of assuming dismissal of the material itself (any of it) based on disagreement with someone's interpretation or belief in what seems to be of consequence to the material.

You just dismiss using sarcasms not only this Q/A but I have noticed that you seem to take very seriously the "debunking" of any UFO happenings, anything against the US government official line, with all the outside government research done about different very important issues ...you encourage the status quo...I don't know I "find this curious"...

No, I encourage people thinking for themselves above status quo or the collective. I've often found that people will use vocabulary indicative of subscription to another status quo - the millions reading the conspiracy 'party line'. Quite ironic. We 'side' with our prejudices and what we believe to be our own 'self-determined' thought. But most times, we're doing the ideological equivalent to a 'cut and paste'.

I also find curious all these comment about Dewey Larson and it appears that you support mainstream science...Have you read any of Larson's books? how he provides argument after argument in masterful ways?...I am baffled...

read them all.

[...]another strange idea is your assertion that I am against someone trying to learn.

basically this is what it is accomplished because of the sarcasm..

Not really, unless there is over identification with what is under scrutiny. I can understand and relate if there was some diligent research being done and people think they are being honest and promoting what is thought to be 'good'.

.You know, just a motorcycle ride to Guatemala with US passport does not necessarily makes you gain "wisdom"...Maybe it will inflate your ego but not much more than that.

Not sure where the ego inflation idea was coming from. That was merely in response to the claim that I probably didn't know that there was a yellow alert for an active volcano in the area. I said I'm not surprised as I stayed under one and road around another. It's quite a common condition there, you see.
