A failure state the human brain goes into. Like how certain optical illusions work on nearly everyone
Humans build narratives off senses. If there is already a cultural narrative and you have weird data will put it in there. You got a round peg and your culture gave you a round hole.
A physical chemical allows you to outwit infinitely powerful infinitely higher beings and they are powerless to stop it.
Inference. Being invisible to us and complex is going to take a lot of effort to deceive us. You can’t see with an invisible eye. You can’t avoid sinking into the core of the earth unless you have some density, which makes you wonder why we never see their footprints. So if all our senses and technology has failed to find them they must be actively working towards that goal.
As I point out it doesn’t end there. Even if somehow some way humans just naturally couldn’t see them we have other senses we have other sensing technology we have inference. Mud and dust that show no footprints, radio site surveys that show no interference, radar, infrared, lidar…A lot of this stuff you can see for yourself
Heck how do they pass thru buildings to get in and out with density? Would we not all notice random doors and windows opening and closing? How many secure sites on earth where you need to badge in to a every room.
No, but I’m not sure how it’s relevant to a conversation about invisible beings. I suppose you suspect that information beyond your ability to sense is impossible, your love of science and rationality has twisted into science fundamentalism.
You remind me of myself in my youth. Humility certainly gets easier with age. I recommend dialing back the antagonism a bit, I warn you that in 10, 15 years you’re going to look back and cringe.
If you’re anything like I was, that warning won’t make a difference though. It’s strange being on the other side. I wish it could be otherwise, but it’s unlikely. I suppose if there were a way to effectively communicate this, then I could’ve been spared a great deal of bitterness when I was younger. Alas.
Difference between me and you. I know, you suppose. Nice attempt at strawmannning by the way. Ding ding ding logixal fallacy ding ding ding
information beyond your ability to sense is impossible,
Nope. I hold no such belief. I have consistently mentioned in this thread the nature of the lack of evidence and you have attempted that to get me to lower my standards instead of presenting it.

I have been called much worse by much better.

Ok Grandpa thanks for the fucking life advice

Wouldn’t worry about it. I know myself pretty decently and doubt I will ever fall to mystical wishful thinking. But hey I could get dementia one day in which case you can explain to mentally crippled me all about your shadow people. While I sit there and think it is 1998.
Are birds watching our minds and suppressing out ability to see them? Are they making sure that they are never recorded by every single camera and instrument?
Look this has been fun but you can drop the gag now. You don’t really believe in shadow beings. That are all-powerful all-knowing and will only talk to you when you put a hallucinating producing chemical in yourself. It is just so much freaken easier to understand that humans, a super social species, will imagine talking things when their brain is busted for a little while. Compared to Uber-beings who roll nat-20s on every stealth check.
Which indicates that it is

3 doesn’t seem very likely.
Where does outwitting come into the equation in the first place? By all accounts, the interaction is reported as being entirely consensual.
Because they choose to be invisible.
Where’d you get that idea?

How hard to animals try to use camouflage? Maybe it’s just a natural state.

Ever read Flatland?
Yeps. Great FICTIONAL story. Ever read Batman Year One?

Wow you’re so weird. Saying something like “science fundamentalism” already proves that you’re an absolute nut job

Inre #3 I dunno the god I worship is outwitted by butter.
How would seeing them outwit them?
They choose to be invisible, you choose to make them visible.
Does that mean outsmart everything you see in a telescope, or a magnifying glass?
Are we outsmarting birds every time we go bird watching?
