But there do seem to be a great amount of "monsters" floating around the adult psyche. Even if things like abduction stories can be passed off as sleep paralysis, there's a lot of stories to explain away out there.Assume that there are reasonable explanations for, say, 99% of reported phenomena in the world. Even so, doesn't the fact that we interpret such things in terms of the supernatural, the "Other" indicative of some sort of dark, underlying current in human thought? Even if I don't agree to join Dr. Franks' group, this merits further study. Speaking of conspiracy theories...Taylor finally speaks again. "Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that I more or less agree with your assessments of the human state. Let us also pretend that I accept your group's claim of being solely responsible for most scientific advances.""I'm not a scientist, and have no particular interest in it except as when it relates to my own studies. What would this training be, and what would I be doing for you? And how, exactly, does your group 'treat stories'? "</blockquote>
