Re:Pentagon UFO disclosure: The case for taking these videos seriously on Friday May 08, 2020 @09:46PM (#23121451)

"Sean Illing: What’s the Occam’s razor explanation for these UFO sightings?

Alexander Wendt: To me, the Occam’s razor explanation is ETs."

This guy really wants aliens to exist, and/or he doesn't understand what Occam's razor is. The simplest solution is that the things in the sky that we cannot identify are star-faring craft built by otherworldly beings...?

The navy videos are weird, don't get me wrong, but it seems like such a jump to say 'alien lifeforms in spaceships are the most likely cause.'

The male pronunciation is 'EVE-lin' versus the female 'ev-A-lin.'

It's borderline irrelevant. I'd want to see things like rent/mortgage payments alleviated or suspended for the duration.

I am not a farmer, I fix sewing machines- but I see people still buy Singers, based on brand perceptions that are 50 years out of date. Modern Singer sewing machines are cheap garbage, but people remember their grandmothers or great grandmothers using these old, reliable machines, and accordingly, they buy Singer.

Same thing is happening with John Deere. It may take a very long time for the anti-consumer actions of the company to burn through decades of goodwill.
