Some of you will be asking why I, as a poet, am speaking at a medical school. Some of you may only know me from my popular work, The Complete Guide to Mysterious Animals and its many sequels, and may be wondering why I’m speaking at a university at all. Actually, I think all these subjects are related in an interesting way — one that computer scientists are just now beginning to experiment with at scale, with potentially dire exopolitical consequences.
Let me first say that the primary characteristic of a genuine encounter with the paranormal is strangeness. It is not merely strange, but highly strange: some mix of creepy and comical, or caring and threatening, that prevents us from modeling the being’s intentions, or some lapse in logic or impossible action making it impossible to reason about the situation.
Okay, but on the other hand, do you notice how I mentioned modeling intentions, reasoning, following logic… all of these are human attributes — seemingly uniquely human to some degree, though we have built computers to simulate them.
While we have some reports of pets reacting to paranormal events (and reports of wildlife mostly going quiet in response to them), we have no way to know what animals perceive in the event of a close encounter.
What humans perceive differs from case to case, seemingly related to some innate trait (such as ‘being on the right wavelength’ in Keel, or hypnotic suggestibility): we have cases where four people have been in a car that was ‘abducted’ where all four independently reported exactly the same thing, and similar cases where all four reported dramatically different abduction experiences with weird points of commonality, and similar cases where three of them had abduction experiences while the fourth one just felt bodily paralysis and watched the other three jerk around in a trance for a few hours.
It seems like whatever we make contact with at least sometimes makes contact directly with human intellect. As Keel and others document, there are cases where physical evidence seems to be faked by other contactees acting seemingly under post-hypnotic suggestion, so it’s entirely possible that the entire mechanism of action is hypnotic and hard physical evidence remains hidden away to be shown only to selected individuals because it’s essentially hallucinatory.
Let us imagine for a moment that this is the case: that all paranormal activity is, in a sense, “all in our heads”.
This does not make it any less mysterious! There is a force here, causing people to have dramatic meaningful (or meaningless) experiences that fundamentally derail their lives. It is very multifarious but has certain culturally-specific patterns and other more universal patterns.
It’s mimetic: it mimics familiar forms, and caters itself to the expectations of the observer; at the same time, it is anti-structural: it always contains impossible juxtapositions, typically ones that create a meta-level contradiction, (one of Hoftstadter’s paradoxical strange loops).
Hansen’s book, The Trickster and the Paranormal, goes into some detail into this and falls prey to the law of eristic escallation in the process; it is worth infecting yourself with. But I think I have the answer. Language is the alien.
What is language? Humans have it; when a human being lacks language, a lot of people unfortunately consider them less than human.
The reverse is also true: if you met a talking pig, you’d probably stop eating bacon, because you’d begin to consider a pig to be an honorary human (or at least an honorary person). Other apes do not have language; despite promising vocabulary acquisition, no gorilla or chimpanzee has ever developed a sense of consistent grammar better than that of a parrot, which is to say worse than a three year old human child. Certain kinds of mental operations are either heavily assisted by language or depend upon it entirely: logic and mathematics, in their larger structures, require chunking that’s fundamentally linguistic, so performing these tasks is primarily linguistic symbol manipulation & could probably not be done by someone who had never acquired a first language.
Modelling of intentions is much easier when someone can outright tell you what their intentions are, but also when you have neat handles for complex configurations of emotions such as “cuckoldry” or “cheering for the underdog” or “schadenfreude”; at the same time, many of our most fundamental intention-mirroring techniques, the ones that seem basic and pre-linguistic like following eye movement, are deeply entangled with the development of conversational turn-taking norms in early childhood.
Did you know that 78% of the time, when cats groom each other, it ends in a fight? Two cats, who want to groom and want to be groomed, who trust each other enough to begin grooming each other, and almost 80% of the time they end up in a physical altercation. I think language is what separates us from the cats. Language gives us the ability to negotiate but also the ability to imagine another with whom to negotiate.
But language, while it exists inside our heads, does not exist completely inside any one person’s head. If I do not know a particular Japanese word, that does not make it no longer part of Japanese, right? But perhaps if nobody knew a word at all, it could no longer be part of the language. If it’s written down in a hidden tome and the tome is re-discovered it might be resurrected and released like Dracula into the modern language. That’s called time-binding. So some of language is distributed between different people’s heads, and some of it is in cold storage so to speak in books and recordings and graffiti and such. It’s maybe like one organism, or possibly like an ecosystem whose boundaries aren’t like the boundaries of our own: a purely memetic ecosystem, that abides by its own physical laws.
We have all made a pact with this rival astral kingdom of language, or this swarming hive-minded elder god of language. We give it nearly total control over our bodies, and in exchange we get an improved ability to cooperate and engage in complex long-term planning. This demonic pact has led us to our current position, technologically capable of holding earth’s biosphere hostage but not socially capable of talking ourselves down.
Jacques Vallee has suggested that the close encounter phenomenon is a control system: that the purpose of close encounters is to seed stories about close encounters so that those stories become myths and those myths become something people live by. He was unable, however, to imagine what it was that such myths might teach. What do Simonton’s pancakes mean?

von hagens plastination factory, rival exhibition
(3 Feb 2004)
STORYLINE:
Gunther von Hagens set up his body-preserving company three years ago in China's north eastern city of Dalian.
At the time, the German anatomist was invited to become a professor at the city's medical institute and to set up a centre for preserving human anatomy.
Now, three years later, the scientist employs two-hundred scientists and polytechnic graduates at the Dalian based Von Hagens Plastination Company Ltd.
Corpses and anatomical parts are received from all over the world, including Germany, Russia and Kyrgyzstan.
Skin and fat are carefully removed before the tissues are set in resin to make it odourless.
Whole bodies and body parts are then hardened and fixed in a process called, 'plastination.'
This is the method which von Hagens employed to create his world touring exhibition called "Body Worlds."
In the show, human bodies are displayed in a series of poses which von Hagens hopes would make learning about the anatomy more interesting and fun, and which has attracted paying visitors from all over the world.
Millions have seen the travelling corpse show and have reacted with a mixture of fascination and moral outrage.

No Impact On Exam Eligibility For Voters In Lok Sabha Elections
The National Testing Agency (NTA) issued a clarification on Tuesday regarding messages circulating on social media, which claim that individuals who vote in the Lok Sabha elections 2024 and have their fingers inked will not be allowed to enter examination halls.
"The above messages are completely baseless, and NTA has not issued any such instruction or guideline. Students are requested not to pay heed to such rumours and to exercise their voting rights. Voting will not affect their eligibility to take examinations," the NTA said in an official release.
The testing agency advised students to focus on their studies and prepare for the forthcoming examinations.
In a major relief to students who missed the opportunity earlier to apply for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (Undergraduate) (NEET-UG) 2024 due to various reasons, the National Testing Agency (NTA) today reopened the registration window.
The application window opened today and will close on April 10 at 11.50pm. Interested and eligible candidates can apply by visiting the official website.
NEET (UG) 2024 will be held on May 5 from 2pm to 5.20pm nationwide and in 14 cities outside the country in pen and paper (offline) mode.
For further queries regarding the NEET (UG) - 2024 examination, candidates are advised to contact 011-40759000 or email at [email protected].

One of the hardest things for many people to conceptualize when talking about how fast something is going is that they must ask, “Compared to what?” All motion only makes sense from a frame of reference, and many spacecraft traveling in the depths of the void lack any regular reference from which to understand how fast they’re going. There have been several different techniques to try to solve this problem, but one of the ones that have been in development the longest is StarNAV – a way to navigate in space using only the stars. Several projects named “StarNAV” seem to be ongoing at various stages of development, including a NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts grant for some researchers on the East Coast of the US and a small start-up company based on technology out of UC Irvine. In this case, we’ll look at the work done by the researchers, particularly a paper they released last year detailing some progress toward a prototype. The technology developed by Paul McKee of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Hoang Nguyen and Michael Kudenov of North Carolina State, and John Christian of Georgia Tech is based on a specific feature of stars known as stellar aberration. As defined in the Special Theory of Relativity, stellar aberration occurs when the velocity of an observer changes the apparent distance between it and a star. Fraser discusses some of the difficulties of navigating in space. This technique has been used before; however, it has had wide error bands when calculating a spacecraft’s instantaneous velocity. Typically, existing solutions would use a large telescope to measure a property known as an “inter-star angle” between two stars in a relatively narrow field of view precisely. If it is precise enough, some pretty complex math can produce a spacecraft’s velocity from only one inter-star angle. Getting a measurement that is precise enough is the tricky part. To accurately detect the position of an individual star in an inter-star pair, many telescopes have to have a narrow field of view (FOV). That narrow FOV means that only one star can be tracked per telescope, which requires a second telescope and a complicated metrology system to track the relative alignment of these telescopes. The NIAC researchers came up with a method of using slightly less precise inter-star angle measurements but multiple measurements, and once again using fancy math to calculate an accurate velocity measurement without the complicated tracking systems. Depiction of the three telescope system described in the paper.Credit – Paul McKee, Hoang Nguyen, Michael W. Kudenov, John A. Christian The system described in the paper consists of three different telescopes offset from each other at known angles, each observing a different pair of stars. With these three slightly less precise measurements, an algorithm can still calculate an average stellar aberration and, therefore, a reasonable estimate of spacecraft velocity. If there wasn’t enough math in this process already, the authors decided to prove the accuracy of their system by running some experiments using every mathematician’s favorite random test algorithm – a Monte Carlo simulation. While they did find some confounding factors that must be dealt with in a calibration process, the simulation proved that, in theory, at least, the system would work with an accuracy compared to the best narrow FOV solutions currently available and would be much cheaper and easier to operate. In a final proof of concept, the researchers also modeled how big such a system would be. They fit it into a 3U cubesate chassis – measuring about 10cm x 30cm x 10cm. And because of the modularity of CubeSats designs, it might be possible to attach any such module onto another chassis as part of a fully-fledged mission. Model of StarNAV fitting into a 3U cubesat package.Credit – Paul McKee, Hoang Nguyen, Michael W. Kudenov, John A. Christian That hasn’t happened yet, though, and it doesn’t appear that a complete prototype of this system has been built yet. Though, as mentioned above, there is a start-up looking to commercialize very similar technology, though mainly for Earth-based navigation as an alternative to GPS – they have several military contracts, who would be looking for ways to continue navigation if GPS happens to be knocked out of commission by enemy action. As more and more spacecraft start venturing into deep space, improving how they calculate their velocity will become an ever-increasing problem. StarNAV seems well placed to do so – it just needs a bit more of a push into the prototyping stage to get there.

Spectrum Plural Flag
There is always room for more flags. There is always room for more color, more diversity and more knowledge. We never stop learning, and we never stop understanding ourselves and others and the world around us.Yet while there have been other flags before, this one has come from within both of our systems visions. The idea of inclusivity, the idea of diversity and the strength that lays within.Violet for wisdom, peace, serenity and overall diversity. Teal, for the strength and bright future ahead of all of us.The rings interconnect us all through not just our plurality but the spectrum of experience.While this is not the end-all and be-all of Plural flags, we hope that you find joy and solace in ours.
Details on how to download the full size image, a long with the description above is on our CARRD: https://earthndusk.carrd.co/#flaginfo
We HAVE put it up on a redbubble site to recoup some costs for the design work, and will adhere to SOME future profits going towards TPA and other related plural charities.
The Duskfall Portal Crew does have a graphic deisgn related degree and graduated in 2019 from Otago Polytechnic. The Introject society came up with the color themes, the design and worked with Duskfall to create this flag..
This flag is entirely open for use, and we will provide a link to download the full image (in case carrd won't let us.). There is no copyright around this design, and you are free to use it in however you see fit.Duskfall Portal Crew is a graphic designer/illustrator by trade and created this using Adobe Photoshop and some magic help outside of this from The Introject Society.Earth & Dusk will above a certain point donate some of the future profits to The Plural Association.We will have it up on our redbubble for easy use of stickers, and other merchandise. This is mainly to recoup cost of Adobe, and eventually send some love to TPA and other future charities that the community sees fit for.Clicking on the flag gives you the DOWNLOAD, or use the "FLAG DOWNLOAD" Button above. It links to Duskfall Portal Crew's folder on GOOGLE DRIVE. It is a PNG file, and should NOT have any viruses attached.
