Really you're implying I am crazy, because you don't understand what I am saying

What is your theory, what is the "other"?

Now as far as I'm concerned you're all over the place.

What name do you use to describe it?
What name I use to describe what? What are you talking about here? Your OP is vague and talking about millions of possibilities

Add:
So you say it's brain, illusions and errors of the perception device?
What on earth are you talking about ? Can't you be more precise? Your OP talks about tens and hundreds of different possibilities.
Be more specific please. I'm not inside your mind, I don't know what you are thinking about right now.

Because you don't grasp the gravity of the revelation, there is a super strange being, interacting with us!
That's it, there is something appearing intelligent interfering with us.

Just say what you want to say.
Why is it so hard for you to say what "it" is?
Some say this, that...
I am asking what you believe.

But you agreed it is there.

OK I'm sorry for my seemingly condescending tone in the last posts. I thought I did share my opinion already in the first posts but since you ask I'll do it clearly:
I believe that the idea of entities (consisting of dark matter / dark energy / or anything else we can't observe so far), conscious or not, large or small, benevolent or malevolent is of course possible. It's actually the basic common tenet of all forms of spiritual beliefs and spiritual traditions.
Since these supposed entities are made of matter or energy we can't measure as of today, science simply chooses to ignore that question (what else can it do? science cannot make theories based on subjective experiences, only independently observable facts)
I believe this idea has not only been explored by spiritualities, but also by a vast amount of fantastic and sci-fi literature and movies (just like the idea that there is more to this world than what we see; from Plato's cave to the Matrix, this idea has also been explored since man can think).
Actually I recommend you to read Olaf Stapledon's StarMaker, I'm sure you will love it as it takes your idea and develop it much much more and give it epic and mystical proportions.
I'm glad you had this epiphany, and I hope this will be the first steps into your journey to read more and expand your knowledge on all these interesting topics, because the literature available is incredibly rich and we don't need to re-invent things when others already spend a lot of time on the subject. What is truly enriching is to learn from them and then let our imagination roam and explore new and virgin shores.

Sorry but in this you sound like it is very plausible

You use strong language like "science ignores it".

Nope.
I'm only open to possibilities. Many different possibilities. And I evaluate each of them based on their probability and complexity.
I don't have dogmas about the things I don't know. Don't ask me to.
If this was a religious debate, I would tell you I am agnostic, and you would keep asking me "but what do you think god is?"
See how ridiculous that question is to me?
Seriously dude, learn to take just a few more minutes to actually read what people post instead of assuming all the time. That would save you a ton of times lost due to communication problems.

See? You don't have anything to say.
Have a nice day.
