The Dialectic is a Trickster, or the Trickster is a Dialectician - Skunkworks

Scholar-poet Bryan Sentes argues that most "ufological discourse" reflects a technological, and one might argue western-dominated anthropocentric, view of the world and beyond. He expands upon this point, considering two sides as to how this set of ideas and the predominant capitalistic system affect our notions about putative intelligences outside and inhabiting this Blue Planet. Interesting ideas, in spite of occasional unfortunate general characterizations of those not entirely sharing his views and paragraph-long concluding sentences. Some of Bryan's topics appear in Anthony Bragalia's UFOs and Their Secret Connection To Climate Crisis Revealed. With When a Sighting Report is Not, Bryan argues convincingly that "temporally and culturally distant narratives concerning anomalous aerial phenomena" have to be understood in the context of their own times, something absent in the vast majority of ufological "historical writing." He provides an almost-stunning example in one of the "favorite" medieval CEIII cases. Our Sky is Their Sea briefly returns to that story, then launches into an evocative look at a grand old city. More combining of UFOs and art comes in Bryan's Phantom Airships, After the Fact. (WM)
