Chris Cogswell is one of those guys who thinks that if one is a NASCAR driver (PhD), then that allows one to drive around in public at 120 mph as well. Furthermore, that lying and pontificating about subjects he knows nothing about, is fine ... 'cuz muh PhD.
Chris cites that the country is divided in two - and 'people who view the world as being in part, spiritual are not talking to those who perhaps take a more rational world view (which includes scientists like him)' - this tells me he is swallowing the same Ashe Conformity baloney. The converse is actually true,
he lied - we are patrolled by skeptics who purposely foment conflict between the public and science. And he offered up a great example of this: Even in this show he implied 'I am the scientist and you are all 'children' '. He actually slipped up and used that very word to describe people unlike himself.
This style of blatant hubris is the origin of this conflict. Through jackboot plurality they threaten scientists so that they cannot examine such topics. He has gotta move out of his university cubicle and see the REAL world, not his fantasy one.
Chris thinks that the AATIP gimbal video is a stand alone piece of evidence, which is only backed up by the 'appeal to authority of a military chain of command'
This is a lie, plain and simple. Please read
Not So Fast: Anatomy of a Skeptic Hackjob. He is appealing to his PhD as a source of authority, when he actually knows nothing at all about this subject.
Meta-Materials:
It is a catchall phrase, correct. A meta-material is "A material phase or state which does not naturally appear in nature, or which exhibits properties which it or its constituent components do not normally exhibit in nature or standalone." He did not actually get this definition correct, but he was close... but it
raises a warning flag again, that he is prevaricating. If I was interviewing him to work at our lab - I would have smiled, shook his hand and had him escorted out the door with a 'We'll call you'.
I have been President of a Meta-Materials research lab. We used proprietary reactors and unprecedented specialized processes to create materials which have never existed before. We tested them with Miller spectroscopy, Scanning and Transmission Electron Microscopy, Knoop, Vickers and Mohs hardness meters. All these things are no big deal. He used them as weapon concepts of intimidation. A meta-material CAN be differentiated from industry's current ability to create them, by its alpha phase exotic bravais lattice and interstitial displacement depth, and the ionic structure of the smaller atomic radius agent which froze in place a non-natural exotic bravais (boron, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, etc). Miller spectroscopy, followed by SEM can tell you this very quickly.
Again he lied (about his competence with this subject).
He purposely avoids telling the listener about the fact (lie through omission), that with the Melba Ketchum DNA study,
seven university labs certified her DNA results. He blathered off a memorized dismissal. Lazy and unethical.
Again he lied.
Sorry Eric, I am not a Bob Lazar defender or fan at all (Stanton Friedman did a competent job on his story)... But I don't really care what Chris Cogswell has to say about Bob Lazar, because Chris is fast-handed with the truth (he is not Stanton Friedman). This show was
PURE GARBAGE - A Jamais l’a Fait – Never been there. Never done that. But he is an expert, just ask him. This makes him untrustworthy - I would never use this guy to advise me on anything of a critical nature. He does not practice the logic of establishing truth (critical path).
