UFOs, God, and the edge of understanding
The Gray Area with Sean Illing
Studying the processes of belief
The speaker talks about studying the processes of belief without being committed to believing the same things. They mention the example of mathematician Ashunya Vassen Ramanajan who believed his math calculations were whispered by the goddess Lakshmi, highlighting the importance of studying such experiences without necessarily endorsing them as true. The speaker advocates for studying phenomena like creative impulses attributed to aliens or angels, emphasizing the exploration of these beliefs without requiring objective evidence. Additionally, they discuss encountering mind-blowing anecdotes, such as a pilot's experience of seeing a human face-like figure during flights and UFO sightings, which led to physical discomfort and a reluctance to share the experiences with others.
