What's your most outlandish belief? (Mine is, I believe crop circles are not man-made.)

I believe that we might actually be living in some sort of Matrix set up, that the world as we know it is actually some sort of simulation that we believe is real but we're really just experiencing a construction that's completely in our minds.

@Hercules3000 I was referring to the movie The Matrix to explain what I believe. I doubt we are used as batteries for machines, but I think it's possible that our physical experience is actually more a holographic experience that we believe is real.

@Hercules3000 I am reading a book that describes scientific evidence that our brains store memories like holographic film stores holographic images. My theory originated with this book which asserts that we may be experiencing a holographic existence. I don't believe the theory can be proven conclusively any more than the existence of God can, but I believe it's a possibility. It presents an explanation for things like telepathy and premonition, two things that I have personally experienced. It's a fascinating idea, either way, and made a great movie.

@Hercules3000 It's called The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot

@Hercules3000 I have no idea how. I'm open to both ideas, but lean toward a collective construction. If you were all a construction of my imagination, you would probably all be doing what I want . . . unless I wanted you all to not be doing what I want . . .

@Hercules3000 Sometimes in the mornings when I was a kid, I would get butterflies in my stomach, as though something exciting was going to happen, though I would not know of anything that was supposed to happen. In the afternoon or evening of that day, there would be an unexpected surprise, like an unscheduled visit from a relative. Sometimes the phone would ring and I would know someone had died. I was right every time. I moved to Korea and I was checking my email one day and I expected to see an email telling me my grandma had died. There was nothing. The next morning I woke up to find an email from my mom telling me my grandma had died. Once I was walking down the street and I caught a glance at my parents' vehicle but couldn't see inside. I knew where they'd been and where they were going and knew which of my two younger brothers was in the van with them. I walked to my brother's apartment and asked him where he'd been and was right. That was more recent. The premonitions have gotten more detailed over time.

Occasionally as a child I knew what people were going to say before they said it but that phenomenon has been most active over the past couple years. I will have an idea come to me only to have the person I'm with express that idea a second later. Other times I just know what they are thinking even though they don't say it. Those times are often confirmed through actions the person displays. I've been wrong sometimes so I've learned to be careful not to assume I'm right until I see evidence that I am. My first husband noticed this ability but I thought it was just normal female sensitivity to people. I've since learned it is far more in depth than most other women's sensitivities.

@Hercules3000 Lol. Surely not.

@Hercules3000 Wait until I can levitate and move objects through telekinesis before you start getting excited.

I don't think this is particularly outlandish, but I believe the dead can communicate with us from wherever their energy lies.

Ahhhh good one !!!! ..... But I guarantee you it is beyond outlandish. Just plain impossible and here is my rational take on it..... Some crazy things I have done along the way, if that is a possibility then my Mom would've come back to "communicate" with me a while ago ?

@Redcupcoffee Exactly!!

@IamNobody Maybe she doesn't want to communicate with you...…….

@AzVixen52 Maybe my own mother doesn't want to communicate with me? Ha ha ha you don't know my mom. If she could really see me from the other side (she passed years ago) then she would come back to give me the longest lecture any parent have ever throw at their kid. I have done some crap she wouldn't tolerate and pretty sure she would come back to set things right...... Nope, she is dead dead dead. ..... And @Redcupcoffee sorry I don't believe in any possibility whatsover, our love ones when gone they truly are out of bounds.

@Redcupcoffee no worries, I didn't mean to tell you how to feel about it. That's the last thing I had in my mind. If you believe in those possibilities that's ok with me and I don't see any problem with it. Cheers

@IamNobody Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if it's wrong.

@AzVixen52 absolutely, I think that's what I have said in my previous msg

That the Minnesota Vikings will win a Superbowl in my lifetime 🙂

You are truly a man of faith! LOL! 😉

@Hordo Tell me about it lol 🙂

This year! This year....

@absaluteviktory5 We won't if we don't get another kicker. What is it with us and kickers over the past few years. Walsh couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo either!

@ipdg77 Hey there is this great kicker...Gonzalez I think his name is....used to kick for Cleveland. He might be y'alls answer ??

@absaluteviktory5 @Shawappa44820 We picked up Dan Bailey instead Skol!

Here is an article that the origins were a scheme of two people in England.
[smithsonianmag.com]

@Redcupcoffee It is undoubtedly some type of people playing jokes, after these two started it.

@Skeptic66 like a crop circle secret society? I mean, they have been going for quite a long while now, clearly not a few desperate individuals. I find it more likely the cause is 'unknown' over red necks chosing to stomp out hidden concentric patterns in their corn...

@dellik People copy all the time. Some idiots did it and now periodically, others do it. There is nothing supernatural here.

@Skeptic66 You are half right. There is nothing supernatural. There is simply natural, but not yet understood.

@dellik ...and that is the reality of everything ever called supernatural.

@Skeptic66 but the only one calling these supernatural is you..

It's been proven that most crop circles were man made.

@Redcupcoffee Your absolutely wrong

@Redcupcoffee They've been explained in numerous documentaries.

@Redcupcoffee Most crop circle researchers admit that the vast majority of crop circles are created by hoaxers. But, they claim, there's a remaining tiny percentage that they can't explain. The real problem is that (despite unproven claims by a few researchers that stalks found inside "real" crop circles show unusual characteristics), there is no reliable scientific way to distinguish "real" crop circles from man-made ones.

@Redcupcoffee [telegraph.co.uk]

That there is at least 1 other planet out there with "intelligent life".

Other? What's for first example?

@PolyWolf Good point, but that's why I put intelligent life in quotations lol

@Piece2YourPuzzle I know, I loved it. ?

I believe there multiple 1,000s. Just to far away to ever prove

3

I believe the origin of life on Earth was extraterrestrial.

Cite your evidence

@jwd45244 "outlandish" precludes evidence claims.

We are stardust. Ask any supernova. ?

@Redcupcoffee Same here.

1

That World religions may have been influenced by an aggressive and controlling Alien race

How about Atheist/Agnostic humans may have been influenced by a progressive and well evolved alien race?

@patchoullijulie interesting idea for sure

@patchoullijulie, @Hercules3000 perhaps if they were behind our creation ,we are an experiment

1

That I exist

@Hercules3000 or are you experiencing a hologram as reality....

@Meili some scientists theorize that due to the mathematical nature of the universe that we are actually in a computer program

@Drsmash253 Well, that would explain a lot.

@Hercules3000 pretty awesome to think about huh

2

If i saw a crop circle in a field tomorrow I would know that people are trying to fool someone. How would a crop circle be other worldly? What could possibly be the message?

@Redcupcoffee Yes, but crop circles have been proven to be man made in the past so I don't think people on other planets have taken it over afterwards.

@Redcupcoffee I gave up on Fate magazine years ago. I respect your views here but your argument is like saying all religions are not false. Mine is the true religion. Google something like "The truth about crop circles" to understand what I am saying.

Maybe they just like to fuck with us. I know l would.

It has been well documented that close examination of crop circles identifies some crop circles as definitively NOT man made.My most outlandish belief is that most people recognize me as being attractive and clever.

OCJoe Level 6 Sep 17, 2018

It would be nice to have some back up for that statement. I believe that the documentation is the opposite. [en.wikipedia.org]
Wikipedia has a long list of references to read.

@Hercules3000 OCJoe says that it is well documented that they are not not man made. If you look at my link there are lots of references to say that they are man made. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

0

Who or what do you believe made the crop circles?

@Hercules3000 Humans create them as a large art project.

that our whole universe is a holographic simulation inside a black hole.

It is a high school kid proyect gone wrong ?

@IamNobody I thought it was on a shelf somewhere but got a C-... lol

The problem with that is the computational power requirements for irrational numbers. Nice idea, though.

1

I do not have any "outlandish beliefs". I believe the most outlandish claims should be investigated. That includes crop circles, UFO's, etc. THEN I go with the preponderance of evidence and am willing to entertain any evidence to the contrary.

@Redcupcoffee I am not here to entertain the foolish.

I came here expecting intellectual stimulation from people with superior intellect. What I have found is something very different.

1

I believe that good will prevail despite all evidence to the contrary.

@Redcupcoffee That is what I keep telling myself, but Drumpf...

Wow! Now that is outlandish! ?

0

I believe in aliens, that make most of the crop circles, ghosts, seen and experienced them and bigfoot, yet to see.

@Hercules3000 No personal experiences, but I've seen t.v programs, documentaries, read enough books and can't see how there could not be. I think the government know they are real, and its now just a waiting game. I think there are all kinds of them. I hope I live long enough to see them make themselves known.

I do not believe in aliens from outer space. The distances involved would require beings essentially immortal to make the journey, and time is relative to the journey--35 million light years distance is a journey of 35 million years to get here at the speed of light. I just don't buy the whole little green men scene.

I am a bit surprised no 911 conspiracy theories yet...

@Redcupcoffee uuuuuffff where do I start... Here it goes, as of today I have never seen footage of the plane crashing at the Pentagon, neither a picture showing any airplane parts. That's the outlandish thing, it wasn't a plane what hit the Pentagon

I believe my dog knows which people are bad people. She has only growled at 3 different people the entire time I have known her, I do not trust any of those people even though one of one was somebody I already knew.

Are you saying that your dog is smarter than you are? Ask'en for a friend.

@dahermit well she does have the entire family completely dedicated to feeding her, petting her, and cleaning up her poop! I don't have people to do any of those things for me!

I believe my washing machine eats my socks. Pairs go in and there are always odd numbers come out, How many of you have a collection of single socks like me? Where do they go, it’s been happening for years and I still haven’t found the answer!

I'm told when a sock goes into the laundry to die, it's born again as a Tupperware lid that doesn't fit anything you have. #TrueFacts

@PolyWolf There is a lot of evidence for this, lol.

1

I believe the earth is alive and will kill us all one day.

Based on the fact that over 99% of all species that once lived on this earth are extinct, and that we are quickly altering the environment, your belief is a well founded. The earth has an active biosphere and it is reasonable to assume a time will come when it will no longer be hospitable to human kind.

@Redcupcoffee I do also.

2

I don't think I have any. I believe in aliens that's for sure though lol

They seem to have taken over our government.

@kltuckmn Therec are aliens in the WH. They come from the planet fuck you

5

That my dogs understand every single thing I say to them or around them ?

0

that there is good in the world

@Redcupcoffee as delusions go its fairly wide spread

1

Here is one really out there.... After the first heavy retaliation bombarding in Afghanistan, Osama Bin Laden was never seen again. After the fact, there were audio tapes to pretend to prove that he was still calling the shots (which kind of proves to some extent that he was already missing in action)....all that being said, Obama operation to get him and kill him was a theatrical BS and that's why it was "decided" to dump his body at sea where no one would find it. If this is not outlandish then I don't know what is...

@Redcupcoffee I can't prove it as no one can prove me wrong either
