      Which indicates that it is

      1. A failure state the human brain goes into. Like how certain optical illusions work on nearly everyone

      2. Humans build narratives off senses. If there is already a cultural narrative and you have weird data will put it in there. You got a round peg and your culture gave you a round hole.

      3. A physical chemical allows you to outwit infinitely powerful infinitely higher beings and they are powerless to stop it.

      3 doesn’t seem very likely.

        Where does outwitting come into the equation in the first place? By all accounts, the interaction is reported as being entirely consensual.

              Inference. Being invisible to us and complex is going to take a lot of effort to deceive us. You can’t see with an invisible eye. You can’t avoid sinking into the core of the earth unless you have some density, which makes you wonder why we never see their footprints. So if all our senses and technology has failed to find them they must be actively working towards that goal.

                    No, but I’m not sure how it’s relevant to a conversation about invisible beings. I suppose you suspect that information beyond your ability to sense is impossible, your love of science and rationality has twisted into science fundamentalism.

                    You remind me of myself in my youth. Humility certainly gets easier with age. I recommend dialing back the antagonism a bit, I warn you that in 10, 15 years you’re going to look back and cringe.

                    If you’re anything like I was, that warning won’t make a difference though. It’s strange being on the other side. I wish it could be otherwise, but it’s unlikely. I suppose if there were a way to effectively communicate this, then I could’ve been spared a great deal of bitterness when I was younger. Alas.

                  As I point out it doesn’t end there. Even if somehow some way humans just naturally couldn’t see them we have other senses we have other sensing technology we have inference. Mud and dust that show no footprints, radio site surveys that show no interference, radar, infrared, lidar…A lot of this stuff you can see for yourself

                  Heck how do they pass thru buildings to get in and out with density? Would we not all notice random doors and windows opening and closing? How many secure sites on earth where you need to badge in to a every room.
