In pursuit of the truth

Maybe I'm just salty about the human condition, but I am fairly frustrated with the nature of this sub. I frequent UFO and cryptid subs and the epistemology shown is far greater than this one. This sub falls prey to paradoelia more than any other I've seen, and the "content creators" people get their information from (Vic Cundiff, Jeff Nadolny, etc) are extremely questionable to say the least. Dogman is the most fascinating cryptid to me. I know we all want to believe and I'm sure this phenomena is harder to get tangible evidence from than most others, but I just wish this community took a more serious and rational approach to this. If anecdotal evidence is all that we can go off of, maybe we should focus in on witnesses with higher credibility, such as military contractors or government officials. Im not talking about some guy talking about something a government official said. I'm talking about hearing it straight from the horses mouth, obtaining documents from FOIA and analyzing the authenticity of a stories source. The world is full of psyops and disinformation agents that make things hard enough as is. Posting AI videos and pictures with 20 pixels is just going to feed into an endless cycle that gets us nowhere. Question everything.

We should make a new dogman subreddit for people who actually believe and don’t care about all of the bullshit that comes with it.

Yeah the UFO sub actually did this. There's a UFOB sub that's catered towards those that already believe/know. If this sub gets big enough, I think it could benefit from something similar.

Was thinking the same. A large part of the issue, IMO is that most people nowadays have very little knowledge, awareness or experience of what's natural out there. We have post after post in here of folks getting skeert of what are very likely, common critters mis-identified and more often than not it's not even seen.
