AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the claims regarding the existence of Bigfoot as a potential biological fact. A local resident, Brown, argues that increasing evidence supports the possibility of Bigfoot's existence, suggesting it could be one of the most significant biological discoveries in the U.S. However, there is skepticism about the validity of this evidence. Previous findings, such as hair samples attributed to the Yeti, were found to resemble bear fur rather than hominid DNA, raising questions about their significance. Additionally, Native American perspectives view Bigfoot not as an animal but as a distinct type of human, complicating the narrative further. The conversation emphasizes the need for a critical and scientific approach to evaluating claims about Bigfoot, advocating for caution and thorough investigation before accepting its existence as fact.

Local Resident Presents "bigfoot" As Biological Fact

""The more evidence that comes forth, the harder it is to refute," Brown continued. "People just can't seem to come to grips with the fact that there is a possibility that one of the most important biological finds possibly exists right here in the backyard of the most technologically advanced country in the world unknown."

This story confused me a lot in
relation to other things I've
heard about the hair samples.

The hair of the Yeti and it's
regional permutaions, was found
to be closest to bear fur, though
not identical. This suggested to
me that the resemblance to hom-
onid was spurious, coincidental,
in the same way one first assumes
whales are a form of fish.

This is the first I've read
that resemblence to the orangutan
has been discovered.

Native Americans do not consider
it to be an animal at all. Their
intuition is that it is a very
different, strange kind of human,
so different from all the other
kinds of humans that no meaning-
ful interaction or mutual under-
standing is possible.

While it is certainly intriguing to consider the possibility of a creature like Bigfoot existing, it is important to approach the topic with a critical and scientific mindset. While some may argue that there is evidence to support the existence of Bigfoot, it is important to carefully examine and evaluate this evidence before jumping to conclusions. As the article mentions, there is still much debate and skepticism surrounding the existence of Bigfoot.

Furthermore, making claims about the existence of a new species without substantial and conclusive evidence goes against the principles of scientific inquiry. It is important to approach these claims with caution and to continue to gather and evaluate evidence before drawing any conclusions. Until there is solid and irrefutable evidence, it is premature to present Bigfoot as a biological fact.
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
