The Profound Artform.

"The most profound way of learning to think is to learn to write, and edit." 


Wise words from Mr. Jordan B. Peterson Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and author. Wise words that certainly apply to social media, and by extension, a good deal of the UFO subculture.

Take a cursory scan of the various platforms on social media. What quickly becomes apparent is that there is not a great deal of actual writing going on. Rather, the sharing of unsubstantiated links is the norm; the lazy sharing of information gathered by others, information which may or may not be accurate. The situation is common to personal accounts, the various groups that are attached to the main platforms, and even to blog platforms, which are supposed to be avenues for thought expressed through writing, with most not delivering on that opportunity. 

The process of writing allows the author of the piece the chance to conduct some dogged research, to use some critical thinking, and to carefully consider each and every written word, all in an effort to convey his/her opinions, feelings, and conclusions accurately, to ensure that nothing is lost in translation. In the UFO subculture there are still some researchers that write powerful pieces, postings that are thoughtfully written and meticulously researched. A few of their platforms are listed below: 

Curt Collins' and Claude Falkstrom's blogspot, entitled "The Saucers That Time Forgot" can be reached at https://thesaucersthattimeforgot.blogspot.com/?m=1
Kevin Randle's blogspot, entitled "A Different Perspective" can be reached at http://kevinrandle.blogspot.com/
Robert Scheaffer's blogspot, entitled "Bad UFOs: Skepticism, UFOs, and the Universe" can be reached at https://badufos.blogspot.com/?m=1
Jack Brewer's blogspot, entitled "The UFO Trail" can be reached at https://ufotrail.blogspot.com/?m=1.

I have found outstanding information on all of the above platforms, content which is informative and well scrutinized so as to ensure it's validity. I strongly encourage my readers to take a look at what these platforms have to offer. I believe you will not be disappointed. 

The search for accurate information is vitally important to the effort, the effort to improve one's self, the effort to learn. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.
