The Theories of Paul Laviolette

Priori

Hi guys,

Not sure if this guy has come up on any of your radars before, but a quick google will return a lot of results which don't lend much credibility to him, in my opinion.

The reason I bring him up is because somebody I know who, years ago, would have been practically convinced of the catastrophic disaster to come next month (i.e. 21/12/12), has somewhat softened their views, perhaps out of fear of being (once again) shown to be wrong. A few ad hoc adjustments and people like this usually (I find) manage to convince themselves that they weren't wrong at all, but perhaps had, at worst, overstated their case.

This particular individual now champions Paul Laviolette, with his Galactic Superwave Theory, as the most credible of the doomsday proponents (a tactic he adopts with me, at least, as there are several other authors he reads who I would consider quacks). This is the only discussion of interest I managed to find, dating back to October 2004. There are Amazon reviews of his books of course, but I don't think it's a good idea to put much faith in them. The Amazon reviewing system/policy leaves a lot to be desired.

Thoughts?

(Btw, I haven't visited CP in awhile - I at least expected to find a Doomsday thread of some description being actively participated in? Perhaps this might do as a substitute of sorts, considering the implications of Laviolette's ideas)

I'm not laughing at anyone, and I'm certainly not looking for an ego-boost. Would you consider contributing something useful rather than immediately resorting to a personal attack?

Very interesting stuff me thinks, I like the way the interviewers were trying to get him more involved in his thinking of predictions made past and present,(as if to discredit him from the get go, and in the middle), while he did avoid bringing these ideas into his own thinking when questioned, he did seem to go on a journey of ET being involved on some level at the very end.

sub quantum seems to hold the key to a lot of ideas which are being investigated these days, I guess once you think there is the possibility of something substantial which could give the answers to the unanswered,(it can make the brighter minds have a reason) and while at the same time proving what we are told at the moment to be true has had its time on the table and needs to be reworked.

I am no Vulcan, but the super charge in my mind is logical, as was a lot of other things he mentions.

The lady interviewer seemed to know her stuff but I do think she needs to get her left nipple looked at.

Apologies if I miss took your post it just seemed kinda condesending especially since your friend hasn't been proved wrong YET, and you described authors in the genre "quacks".

Yeah when I re-read my post I did cringe a little, it did come across a little condescending I think. It's just that the person I mentioned in my post has always been a very difficult individual for me to deal with personally (a lot older than me, and when I was younger he would have tried to force-feed me this kind of stuff in a very authoritative, do-not-dare-question-me sort of way), so sometimes I feel the need to vent a little.
