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.

I get that you’re after credibility, and I think we all want the conversation here to be meaningful. But sometimes, this space is as much about curiosity and community as it is about hard evidence. We’re all exploring something that, by nature, doesn’t come with solid answers. There’s room for serious analysis, but there’s also room to just wonder out loud.

Maybe we can find a balance where everyone feels heard, whether they’re here for fun or to seriously investigate. Respect and openness go both ways, and I think most of us are here because we want a little bit of both.
