The Entaus nonsense

I almost hate to bring up the Mike Cifone/Bryan Sentes promotions of that Entaus thing but …
 
I like the grueling pastiche that is called philosophy. I have books and books about the “topic” (as you know).
And then there is the voluminous gaggle of science tomes, and other academic-oriented writings.
 
I try here to refrain from plastering content from any of that.
 
Only because such thinking in that material is for this “normal” life we engage in on this planet during our existence here.
 
But UFOs are only connected to this life, this planet, as a myster- ious adjunct.
 
UFOs fall into the realm of Plato’s forms and other reality outside our “cave” – this world, this life.
 
To engage in and try to make the UFO phenomenon conform to our personal existence is a folly for fools. The enigma transcends argu- ments about consciousness, ethical behavior, morality, things in themselves, and all the other clotted thought referenced as Philosophy.
 
Bryan Sentes – a guy who wants to be a full-fledged academic – he isn’t one – is constantly trying to wend his way into that stultifying arena of vain practitioners of bullshit.
 
Mike Cifone is an academic who wants – for some odd reason – to make a mark in the UFO (and now UAP) community.
 
His “entaus” effort and ramblings have put him so far outside the UFO community that he’s a wanderer in the woods of irrelevancy.

(See the heap of his written rhetoric I’ve linked to, below here.)
 
The entaus material is fine, tediously presented as it is, for rumination after a long bout of bourbon induced gatherings, but for UFO debate it is terminously boring and suffocating.
 
That my pal Mike Murphy links to “entaus” material is understand- able. Bill is a rational academic and, like me, likes to ferret material from academia – see my Academic.edu pages.
 
But to push the kind of fulsome fluff that Cifone, and his UFO helpmate Sentes, push into the circle where we UFO enthusiasts dwell is boorish and irritating.
 
Yet, this is America and all commentary is sacrosanct, no matter how stupid or even offensive, so there it is …
