You're concentrating too hard on one particular aspect of the video; that of ghosts. The point I was making with the video is that we're just as superstitious as those brilliant animals: pigeons...
In many respects, we're still very stupid animals...

BTW: What I saw, on several, separate occasions, was definitely not floating dust particles or flashing lights from outside or anything like that. No, I saw extraterrestrial if not supernatural forms or shapes. However, I am scientific minded enough to admit that what I saw was more than likely due to sleep paralysis dreams (even though I was in no way paralyzed during my experiences).
Whatever, I know I'm not crazy.  (Although, I do question the power and makeup of my subconscious.)

I had a whole wealth of interesting questions posed to you that could have been the start of some interesting dialogue. Why did you quietly ignore them?

Now we're getting into a semantic argument; something I find deeply uninteresting.
However, I'm curious to know if you would still consider language a part of our intellect if you knew it was instinctual and not something we figured out?
