What I think is fun is the "what's disinfo, and who's the disinfo agent" game that so often gets played.
The light balls in the sky are nothing new, remember the foo fighters, hell even Christopher Columbus saw a ufo in the sky that he said looked like a candle.

Yes, isn't it though? I realize that you might view yourself as a 'debunker'
of things that I write --- only I rarely entirely disagree with you. When
you discuss black letter science I generally agree. When you discount
the possibility that science is missing something; that is also science
but is not understood yet; then we disagree.

You forgot making peoples lives such a struggle physically that they haven't time to ponder the bigger picture. That serves the manipulators purpose too. Plato's Cave explains that well enough.
Saying I don't believe in something because I haven't seen it is as narrow minded as chained cave dwellers arguing dancing shadows on a wall.
Further, those chained cavers are happy to go on believing their fed lies, by the time they grow up enough to have a cognitive mind it has been conditioned to accept the lie as the truth.
The only questions that arise are about the shape and texture of the shadows.
Each has to seek on their own. Current status of earth is that its a testing world, and disclosure is on a one by one basis for those who put effort into it.

I don't think Alice is discounting the possibility that there are plenty of things science does not know. Thats self evident. If we knew everything we would not have to do science. There would be no need. We'd have all the answers to every question available at her fingertips.
What you seem to be suggesting is that Alice take a leap of "faith" to "believe" something for which there is not very good evidence in support of.
That's far different. Her reluctance to take that leap of faith has to do with staying firmly within the realm of reality rather than imaginative speculation.
Simply saying, "we don't know" does not open the door to "anything is possible." There are constraints on the possible.
The difference between imaginative speculation (sometimes perhaps loosely based on science) and science itself if that the former acts for you to "believe" or rather "suspend disbelief" while taking it on "faith" while the latter says, "here is what we know, here is how we know what we know. here is what we don't know, here's how i propose we find out what we don't know."

9) Enlightenment! Now that's the other one that is so delicious. You use your free will to reach out to grab 'energy'! You want 'energy'? sure.. here is some.. it's wiggling and has a tail too! Only you won't notice that will you? Oh look! your mind Is adapting to this 'symbiote' you pulled into your brain. It's neural plasticity is invigorating your speech centers.. and making you babble enlightenment nonsense nonstop! You really don't know jack.. but you won't ever stop telling people about it.. as long as you wear that 'enlightenment title' I own you! How delicious. Now is there real spiritual evolution? Sure. But I won't let knowledge about that which might free you into the world! I'll fill the world with 'holy books' and your Amazon full of 'get enlightened now books!" Oh the printing press was my best invention until the Internet! Ah the Internet.. the beginning of my robot army!
