Debunking the new UFO religion is one thing I’ll be doing on Substack, I can already tell.

One problem I can already see is that whatever know. record of glitches the observational gear in military planes has will be classified.

Pressing far-fetched narratives onto a Jeopardy winner’s OK sign, or political organization’s stage design, requires the same kind of cognitive error you see in New UFOnanists.

But only the latter sit adjacent to ppl who have spent a decade inveighing against the same errors

One thing I want to do on Substack posts is keep my eyes on the epistemic crisis that liberals are liable to recognize when it appears in election fraud claims or anti-vax theories.

Liberals are less good at recognizing the same crisis thumping along inside their heads.

Liberal gullibility takes different forms from MAGA gullibility. But its basis isn’t much different.

UFOnanism offers a promising window into the epistemic crisis because it draws the gulls from both groups.

I will close today by asking you to join me in laughing at John Podesta. He actually thinks these are two different groups.
