Anomalous Mental Phenomenon – Classical Criminology 9 Extraterrestrial the ET Effect 12/16/2024 11:56:07 AM
The essay critiques the tendency of pseudoscientific fields to appropriate the scientific method while lacking rigorous evidence. Gonzalez examines how human creativity and sexual impulses shape perceptions of reality, including belief in aliens and otherworldly encounters. He critiques the media and entertainment industry's role in perpetuating myths, likening the "ET Effect" to the "CSI Effect," where fictionalized narratives distort public understanding of science and criminal justice. In previous episodes of adventures in Gonzo Theory, the introduction is about the foundation of the current discourse. Once again, there is the necessity of reiterating the viability of pseudoscience. No disrespect, condescension and demeaning intent are suggested here. Instead, the word is used to describe the notion that some things cannot be proved as yet by the evidence at hand. There is no honor lost, nor impotency implied. On the contrary, pseudoscience is viewed as an ongoing search to prove the science. And by evidence, the conjecture is that of scientific validation, confirmed by rigorous measurement, testing, and eventual provability. As to that, the kind of evidence is relative to that which might be presented and tested in a court of law. In addition, Gonzo Theory is based on the tenets of the classical school of criminology. Where one might be curious about that, go look it up. Regarding pseudoscience in academia, the primary four quests in metaphysics are criminology, psychology, sociology, and theology.
In other sphere of investigative journeys, the “social studies arena” (i.e. criminology, psychology, sociology, theology) shares a close kinship with other pseudoscientific adventures. Of these, explorations include the paranormal, the parapsychological, and the interplanetary. Of both the “social studies arena” and the otherworldly, these are contrasted with the real sciences. In this spectrum, the inquirer encounters the scientific fields of biology, chemistry, quantum mechanics, and physics to name a few. From them, the so called scientific methodology is frequently heisted. All to frequently in the pseudosciences, the justification for claiming “scientific” relevance boasts the use of the “scientific method”. For the classical school of criminology, free will is a central aspects. Everyone makes choices by way of calculated premeditation, cost-benefit analysis, and targeted selectivity. For some classicists, no excuses, no mitigations, and no externalities of deterministic control justifies maladaptive behaviors.
Everyone is responsible for what they think, say and do. With this particular slant of classical criminology, the underlying potency reflects the depth of individual sexual impetus. Such is the carnality of the behavioral characteristics. So powerful is the ideation, especially from the streams of dreams to conscious states, that personal reality becomes uniquely interpreted. Such is exciting, a turn on, and potentially dangerously creative. Additionally, by way of purposeful efforts for self-serving needs, the advocacy and promotion of various phenomena is for the salaciousness of personal gain. Libido is credo and serves the amative necessity of existence.
Regarding the impetus, the ideation from fantasy to fruition, and the purposeful insistence for thoughtful anxiety, the power is in the primordial energies of willful salaciousness. As to the carnality of the self, individuality is all about the passions of personal prurience. For the sake of creative exclusivity, the intentions influence the quest. And for each, the necessity of the adventure is essential to self-evolution. Inquiries are built upon the scope and extent of the very essence of personal complexity. An aspect of the investigative process considers the amative primordial basis of motivational factors. Others will disagree and counter with alternate viewpoints based optional philosophies. Regardless, what does the claimant want from their particular perspective? Is it the various degrees of self-satisfaction in the perpetration of hoax, fraud, scam or scheme? Who stands to gain from the subsequent gambit? Is about the next podcast, blog, or self-flagellating vlog? Or is it more primal in order to satiate the weakness of sedentary gluttony?
The questions continue. Many expound upon their limited points of view, erroneous assumptions and debilitating inexperience. By latent levels of immaturity, the satiation lingers in the vacuum of a profound scarcity of evidence. While UFOs have captured the public’s imagination, it is important to remember that this fascination is largely speculative. Mainstream media (the vast corporate monopolies) enjoys opportunities to capitalize on the mythology. As the game is afoot, the money is on the hook. Schemes unfold in quickly marketing the alleged sightings of mysterious objects in the sky. Fantasies unfold with limited imaginative assertion as conspiracies abound based upon mere speculation. Fueled by the latest publicity stunts, congressional fascinations, and military reports, the majority of the public races to reinforce a diversity of believability. At the same instant, science fiction genre becomes reinvigorated as the entertainment value escalates for the time being. In 2021, a major international news source underscored the resurrection of public interest.
The author in this source again cites the lack of definitive evidentiary validation. Of particular notation in the forgoing article, was how easy “experts” are fooled by natural causality. That is, in spite of high-tech equipment, interpretations default to human observation and assessment of alleged data. As bias enters every potential conclusion, and the observer significantly influences the observation, error is a high probability. In the end, regarding selected case studies, the result is generally the same. That is, no conclusive evidence comes to light. Assertions spring eternal. Along these lines, the critical task is accepting opinion in lieu of physical evidence. An admonition from the skeptical community is to be wary of any conjecture that fails to produce proof.
For the investigative process by any configuration, the hunt for evidence is of primary importance. Despite the endless reports of sightings, opinions, rumors, gossip, and alleged “whistleblowers”, no definitive evidence surfaces. Added to that is the abundance of excuses that raise the specter of one conspiracy theory after another. Scientific validation requires vitality in the efficacy of evidence. Clear, convincing, and unequivocal courtroom viable evidence of a compelling nature is required. Outside that, conjecture defaults to opinion. From the world of scientific investigations, one publication asserts very quickly in its commentary that there is no evidence of life on other planets. Nonetheless, the author leaves open the door with the typical caveat: the “universe is a very large place”. Of course, that seems standard procedure and may serve to soothe the feelings of those who anticipate an imminent alien invasion.
For those adherents to beliefs in alien visitations, abductions, and so forth, perhaps they are hoping to get probed. Wishful thinking fosters all manner of ideations. All of which, as considered here, correlate to the innate intentional sexuality of each person. That is a central tenet in Gonzo's Theory related to the classical school of criminology. Behavior is an expression of human sexuality. While some scream and holler, rant, and rave about such salacious conjecture, they will eventually get over it. In the meantime, at the beginning of the last century, the historical figures of medical-psycho-social analysis were on the right track. Libido is credo. On the issue of extraterrestrials (ET), a definition of terms is essential. What does that mean to say that one claims there are ETs out there? Does alien encompass the wide variety of possibilities attendant to a diversity of life forms? Would that include microbial entities or something out of CGI designed for a sci-fi movie? Or is it more likely that an ET looks humanoid?
More often than not, the science fiction genre since the early 1990s has given the public a variety of alien forms. In some movies, it is a wonder that the “alien body types” could actually pilot a spacecraft. For the sleight of hand fraud of “reality TV shows”, there is no reality; it is all clever stage management. Another science oriented publication published a physicist’s viewpoints about the lack of activity throughout the cosmos. While the universe is extraordinarily massive neighborhood, one researcher’s efforts ponders the absence of lots of lifeforms busily traversing the galaxy. With billions of stars in the Milky Way galaxy alone, plus billions of years of evolutionary processes, the researcher wonders where is everyone? Speculation might ponder more importantly, why another “advanced life form” has not made an appearance in our solar system. As a sense of conspiratorial space silence ensues, any form of contact seems elusive.
