How's it going lurkers? If you ask yours truly, I feel haunted houses and paranormal activity are more terrifying than monsters, unless they are Gremlins.
We all know those skeptics, who don't believe in ghosts or much of anything that can't be proven based on science. This may be difficult to believe, but science is NOT the answer to everything.
A few years ago, I started reminiscing about the Scooby-Doo franchise. In fact, I happened to be watching a Scooby-Doo TV series. As an adult, I realized just how incredibly skeptical the overall franchise has been over the last 48 years.
Did you EVER notice that every time the characters on Scooby-Doo had to solve supernatural and paranormal related mysteries, there were ALWAYS arguments to disprove that supernatural and paranormal phenomena existed?
Growing up as a little girl during the 1980's and '90s, I was annoyed by the skepticism. I understand, that CBS and Hanna-Barbera wanted to appease the parent watch groups, in order to prevent more protesting during the '60s, but they actually helped promote and validated skeptics.
I will even go as far as saying that CBS, Hanna-Barbera, and many other companies caused the last 3-4 generations to grow up as skeptics.
Ad nauseam, they must disprove EVERYTHING that doesn't fit their skeptical narrative about something being SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN.
Do you remember Charles Riborg Mann and George Ransom Twiss' book Physics?
In the 1910 book, they asked: "When a tree falls in a lonely forest, and no animal is near by to hear it, does it make a sound? Why?"
The question was supposed to be about physical point of view.
However, I believe it was a question made to validate and promote other people's denial of something OR someone's existence with more skepticism.
This can ESPECIALLY be said about those, who refuse to acknowledge supernatural and paranormal phenomena. Let's use the Scooby-Doo franchise as an example.
In the original cartoon from 1969, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? Fred, Velma, and DAPHNE did NOT believe in ghosts and monsters.
By the end of each
episode, all 3 characters were ALWAYS validated to make it seem like those, who DID believe in ghosts and monsters needed to be patronized by a shrink.
You may be saying, "Anna, you're overthinking this. It's only a cartoon."
Scooby-Doo may be a cartoon, but it is a cartoon that has hidden messages in it. You really have to read between the lines so to say and pay close attention to the underlying messages.
Granted, it can be argued that Hanna-Barbera did not want to traumatize children with supernatural and paranormal phenomena. At the same time, the characters and the writing in this cartoon appear as being skeptical and wanting to ALWAYS disprove the existence of something or someone.
Anybody, who believes in supernatural and paranormal phenomena, are viewed as being crazy and delusional because skeptics bought into George Berkeley's philosophical lies about "immaterialism."
Immaterialism in philosophy is basically the metaphysical DENIAL of the existence of the material world. In other words, it's just your imagination; It's ALL in your head.
If some skeptics have not learned much of anything from today's blog, you should at least realize that just because you didn't see or hear something or someone, doesn't mean that something or someone does NOT exist.
