Soren Diab
Soren Diab writes at the border of testimony and philosophy. As a teenager in 2014, on the shore of Lake Huron, he and two friends quieted their minds and called three lights out of an empty sky. The years of practice that followed, including a long stretch of near-nightly attempts from a balcony in Toronto, where he still lives and writes, became the ground of his first book.
He found the subject for himself, stumbling into it in the early 2010s and building his own method from it. He treats it through logic, skepticism, and moral philosophy rather than vague spirituality or sensationalism.
His model is not the prophet but the witness. Here is what I found; go and check it for yourself.
I believe contact with non-human intelligence is the most important event in recorded history, and that we are nearer to it than almost anyone will admit. My mission is to make the case for it in the open, and to put it within reach of ordinary people, so that it is met with clear eyes instead of left to rumour.
Testimony disciplined by reason
The aim is to take a subject long abandoned to incoherence and hold it to logic and reason, without softening what is known into hesitation, and without pretending that private knowledge is already public proof.
The books are testimony first and argument second. They begin with a method, so a reader has a way to approach the phenomenon for themselves, and move into moral argument, because the phenomenon, honestly faced, does not leave anyone unchanged. The essays work the same questions out in shorter form.
One conviction runs through all of it. The readers who matter most are not the believers, but the careful and the doubtful, the people this subject is never really written for.
