🐸🗓️ october 13 - "international skeptics day"

[jribera777]

Never be afraid to answer questions from the skeptics. That's how you prove your beliefs to be true and the gainsayers won't be able to say much after that.

John Halvorsen (Vorsen) was not part of the recent Bailter Space tour (Micah went to the SF show and said it was fantastic). But "A World On Fire" represents material from the early 1990s to the present. It definitely sounds like it was spawned from the sound of his three bands - The Gordons, Bailter Space and Skeptics. I would throw in Snapper as well.

But this really has an early to mid 1980s alternative sound too - think of The Chameleons UK, or early U2.

Leather Jacket Records is quickly earning a reputation as a label that brings us old New Zealand acts through reissues or new music. Halvorsen is from Wellington, New Zealand.

The resurrection show.

I feel like people that believe in ghosts/cryptids/supernatural stuff need to familiarize themselves with basic nature and science because a basic understanding of just about anything disproves this junk.

“I saw a huge furry create on two legs! It must have been Bigfoot!”

You saw a bear. It was a bear. The reason people all claim that Bigfoot stinks is because bears smell terrible. Bears often stand on their hind legs. Their footprints look vaguely humanoid. Bigfoot is just bears.

“I saw a creature that looked like some kind of emaciated and sickly deer with glowing eyes!!”

Your flashlight/headlights caught a sick deers eyes. You didn’t see a monster like a sick deer you just saw a sick deer.

“I heard screams of the undead from that field!”

Please google what animal sounds are in your area. Rabbits and foxes just to name a few make sounds that could easily be mistaken for human cries.

“My doors and windows shut by themselves! Wood creaks and I hear knocking/footsteps!”

You need to understand that houses shift and make sounds. Friction and moisture and air currents all change constantly. A window that stays shut when it’s humid may contract when it’s cooler and slam shut. AC vents may blow a door open. You’re hearing footsteps/knocking from impossible places because human ears are absolutely horrible at localizing sound.

“I saw something/a ghost/a demon in the shadows!”

Look up pareidolia.

“I saw a monster/ghost/demon right after I woke up!”

You experienced sleep paralysis

Like I am begging people to just learn about the world around them.
