Forteanswest.com , or The League of Western Fortean Intermediatists, explores the phenomenal on the America's western and southwestern landscape.
“This is a philosophical view that is at odds with the authoritarian nature of modern institutional science. Eg: many scientific things are defined by experiments, which are designed to focus on a specific set of phenomena and exclude the influence of rest of the universe. Fort’s view of good science was that it should be inclusive. It follows Occam’s Razor naturally, in that the simpler, more elegant, solutions are those which account for the greatest range of data including their anomalies.”
“[Forteans] are not realists. We are not idealists. We are intermediatists — that nothing is real, but that nothing is unreal,” he wrote. “All phenomena are approximations one way or the other between realness and unrealness. Our whole quasi-existence is an intermediate stage... like purgatory, I think.”
Love how "I think" was inserted there.
Anyway. I can latch on to something like this.
