This
class results in a hyper-growth and development of analytical skills and
critical thinking skills. I think this is one of those rare courses that
actually makes you smarter!

This course
strives to provide the foundation for a methodological framework for
xenological and exopolitical studies. To do so, it largely takes the human sciences as a
starting point.
The course starts
off with basic concepts like truth, fact, evidence, and knowledge. It then gives a short introduction to how to reason properly by studying the basics of
logic. In the third part of the course, we analyze existing methodologies,
mainly within the human sciences, to see how they can be useful and where they
present challenges that must be overcome.

The
most important thing I have learned in this course is really how to carry out a
serious investigation with arguments and above all with well-defined schemes
and procedures. I learned to take into account very important aspects
that perhaps I had not considered before.
Research in the field of xenological sciences is a very exciting and serious
subject, and I was able to understand that it is possible to use the research
methods and techniques that we use as humans, adapting them to the needs of the
xenological subject that we are studying, obtaining useful results.

About your instructor
Manuel Lamiroy holds degrees in both Law and Philosophy, with a strong academic foundation in epistemology, formal logic, and research methodologies. He spent four years studying various types of logic and has explored multiple methodological approaches across the human sciences. This background uniquely positions him to bring intellectual rigor to the field of exopolitics. Manuel is also a veteran researcher of contact phenomena, the founder of the Exopaedia, and Editor in Chief of JAR Magazine. He serves as Coordinator of Exopolitics South Africa and is a founding member of the Global Exopolitics Organization (GLEXO).
Even though the Exopolitics Institute is registered as an educational non-profit organization, at present its courses and certificate are not recognized.
