What was it that got them into it? Were you able to maintain a relationship with them or did you have to cut them out of your life? How on Earth do they do the mental gymnastics to believe something that is so farcically untrue?

Right? As a self-identified crank I personally buy a decent amount of paranormal shit, and I wouldn't be surprised if aliens have been hanging around fucking with us since the dawn of humanity (with a healthy dose of skepticism and knowing I'm playing fast and loose with belief/knowledge claims) but like the ancient wonders were never things that struck me as requiring any paranormal explanation unless you're a racist. (Plus the evidence/arguments are mostly dumb) I was all happy he wasn't calling me crazy for talking about ufos but then he's like yo ancient aliens? And I'm like noooo not that kind of crank nonsense
