I don't think there's anything wrong with those types of people as long as what they say is something that can be checked out further. I get that
you associate them with bong-smoking hippies after reading the rest of your post, but think that's harsh. Meditation especially has scientific
studies to back it up so no-one who supports scientific analysis can discard it if they check it out properly. On the other hand, yeah, you need to be
able to go somewhere with it and be able to investigate further. I share your distrust of those who say they've made contact and are reeling off
lists of Aliens from different parts of the Universe but not giving people anything to work with. That's the type of thing that I think damages the
field quite a lot. Maybe some of them are ahead of the curve in a huge way, but even if that's the case, there's no point in them coming forward
unless they have solid methods of checking those claims out for the people interested.
