In this new excerpt from a larger article I’m working on I provide an overview to the ways exo studies draws on over 150 disciplines, domains, topics, and fields of knowledge in order to take a metadisciplinary approach to anomalist phenomena and in so doing makes over a dozen unique contributions to the study of UFOs.
For 6 months I’ve been trying to figure out a better way of representing the wide range of encounters with non-human intelligences (NHIs) that one finds in the UFO literature in all of its high strangeness variety. Thus, I conducted a meta-analysis of 12 different sources producing a new taxonomy of 33 types of NHIs.
After 10 months of hard work, Tom Curren and I have finally launched our new educational website WhatsUpWithUFOs. We curated 150 articles/videos to present a comprehensive overview of the UFO phenomena across four major categories: Flying Objects, Hard Science, Direct Experience, and Institutional Dynamics.
This diagram and its accompanying excerpt from a larger academic paper I’m working on provides an Exo Studies perspective on how to integrate the 10 most common hypotheses of what non-human intelligences (NHIs) are and presents a new eleventh hypothesis that argues for “mutual enactment”.
In this riveting 2.5-hour discussion 5 thought leaders within the Integral community take a deep personal and philosophical dive into their views on the reality of UFOs and ETs as they each respond to 8 provocative questions.
In this 45 min overview I explore 4-6 key areas of focus within the following major domains of an exo studies approach: cultivating multidimensional awareness, developing a galactic diplomacy, and the pioneering of a post-positivist integral science of the anomalist.
