Comments by "Hugh Jorgan" (@HughJorgan1) on "US Navy confirms UFO videos are the real deal" video.

The gullibility of the human species is only surpassed by its propensity for confirmation bias.

Darth Maul ..Not at all. Read my original comment again...slowly. I'm simply bringing facts and logic to a topic that's based on fiction and delusion. My apologies if that upsets you.

@backfatfairy ...There's two definitions of an "alien": 1. A foreigner, especially one who is not a naturalized citizen of the country where they are living. 2. A hypothetical or fictional being from another world. Which definition are you using?

Darth Maul ..Projection is always entertaining. Thanks for the laugh. Have a good one.

Thereo Romeo...I always think it’s better to address the meaning of a comment, rather than the characteristics of who said it. Use of ad hominem has become an epidemic. That said, my point is there’s a lot of gullible people who use any new grainy picture or wild story as confirmation of their delusional belief that UFOs are real. In doing so, they’re ignoring facts, logic and rational argument. I look around this comment section and just shake my head.

Anne Isopod ..Why do you think UFOs are real? When answering, be sure to state the factual evidence you’re basing your conclusions on. And remember, conspiracy theories aren’t evidence. Nor is listing a bunch of questions. I look forward to your answer.

Anne Isopod...That’s a ridiculous specious argument. You know what I meant. But it’s great you don’t believe in UFOs (piloted by ETs). That shows intelligence.

Anne Isopod...Let me explain in detail, going step by step. 1. My original comment speaks to the gullibility of the human species and their tendency to use confirmation bias. 2. I then replied to someone else, expanding on my point. 3. You subsequently responded, used some childish insults, and questioned my statement that UFOs aren’t real. 4. The underlying premise of me saying UFOs aren’t real, logically, is that I meant alien-driven crafts. 5. In your criticism of me saying UFOs aren’t real, you implied you believe they are. 6. Which takes us to my question to you: “Why do you think UFOs are real” 7. Your response was to say you were talking about UFOs in general (which could be anything, including weather balloons, drones, hoaxes, etc). 8. Your comment clearly implies you don’t believe in UFOs piloted by aliens. Moreover, since you didn’t try to answer my questions and provide any evidence for alien-piloted UFOs, I naturally assumed we were on the same page. I hope that helps clear it up for you. And again, I’m glad you don’t believe in alien- piloted UFOs. That shows intelligence. (If for some stretch of logic and reason you actually DO believe in alien piloted UFOs and are just playing games, please again read my original question on providing hard evidence, and respond)

Sander Ananas..You ruined your comment with brutal insults and ad hominem. I’ll never understand why people would insult random strangers on the internet simply because they don’t agree with them. Worse, its a completely useless way to try to make a point, or convince the other person, or win a debate. Google “7 levels of disagreement” and note the bottom 3 levels. That’s where your the vast majority of your comment resides. If I’m generous, you achieved level 4—“Contradiction”, which is still a very poor way to disagree. But don’t feel bad...You’ll note that “Anne” also used multiple insults. As well, you’ll note the first reply to me didn’t bother to address the central topic at all and just used an ad hominem attack. So you’ve made it 3 for 3. It’s perplexing. If you want to have an adult conversation, try to get up into levels 5 and 6. If you believe in alien-piloted UFOs, show the evidence. And remember the definition of evidence...it’s verifiable facts. Evidence is NOT conspiracy theories, unverifiable claims, presumption, or a long list of questions. Do not provide links me to some nutjob conspiracy site showing doctored photos or feeding ignorance with wild unproven theories. Lastly, you made another error in reasoning in your comment. The burden of proof always lies with those making a claim. Claims made without evidence do not have to be disproven. In other words, it’s nonsensical to ask a person to prove why they don’t believe something. It’s already implied...it’s because there’s no facts, logic and evidence. The best example of the burden-of-proof concept is with regards to the God delusion. You often hear believers say “You can’t prove God doesn’t exist”. Such a comment is completely nonsensical and an insult to intelligence. Bottom line, I fully understand the gullibility of the human species.

@VictorGyo ..I'm curious if you understand the principles of "burden of proof" and "Hitchens Razor"? Both principles require those making a claim to provide evidence to support it. And Hitchens Razor goes a step further by stating that anything claimed without evidence can also dismissed without evidence. The best example of Hitchens Razor is regarding the God delusion, but the principle fits in many other topics. My point is there's literally zero valid evidence of the existence of 'aliens'. Nor is there a shred of valid evidence of a UFO... that's being piloted by an alien. The latter part of this point is important; we all know there's often things seen in the sky that can't be identified. To loop back to my original comment....to believe in UFOs and/or alien life forms without a shred of evidence is the definition of gullibility. And those who seek out conspiracy theories and ludicrous claims to validate their gullibility are the definition of confirmation bias. I know facts are very upsetting to the naive. So I therefore understand why people are lashing out and/or projecting their own doubts and anger at me in this section. Such people have my sympathies. Bottom line, facts are important in life. I choose to go through life believing only that which can be supported with evidence.

@VictorGyo ..I respect your effort. But I hope you realize you've proven my point? For example, you begin by stating that the UFO was "clearly showing it had control over its flight". Um...no. There's zero evidence of this claim. Then you go onto to make ridiculous presumptions about what "could be possible". Using that logic, I could claim we're living in the matrix and this discussion is just part of the artificial world we live in. Can you prove my claim is wrong? Nope. Again, I respect your effort. And you show intelligence by understanding logic and principles such as Occam's Razor. But to claim there's alien's flying UFOs is ludicrous. It's also gullible and the definition of confirmation bias. Please don't reply unless you can disprove my claim that we're living in the matrix.

@VictorGyo ..Thanks for again proving my points. All the best.
