As with most concept behind the "paranormal" and "supernatural" cryptozoology is one of those pseudosciences that tends to be released to kooks and crazies who think there are giant apes in the Red Wood Forrest, or a Jersey Devil in the Pine Barrens. Although there are some minor cases of theorizing animals say in the depths of the ocean that are sometimes sighted as false, and later discovered to be actual creatures, then there is a belief that cryptozoology has some legitimacy, but what about the 21st century? It appears to be truth we're people hope for truth.
Shows like Finding Bigfoot, books about the possibility of Megalon still being under the surface, and the understanding that giant sea snakes may be the true Levisthan have reinforced the superstitions as old as time itself. There's a lot of stake in the claims of former loony toons who believed that Nessie was a legitimate plesiosaur. Although plesiosaurs are likely to have existed during the Mesozoic chances of it surviving all of the oceanic changes is highly unlikely, leaving me to believe the Loch Ness monst is nothing more than a hallow log that occasionally sinks.
Although it appears that more people see fascinated by what may be out there, especially with UFOs at a all-time high, there is still more appeal for people to believe in something like the Mothman, or even dragons. However, there's a great deal of questions that people tend to leave out when wanting to "believe" these pseudosciences, and that is a very generous description of the study of cryptozoology....but can these myths survive the 21st century? That is the question I intend to answer.
The skeptic would simply say there's no way that these myths will carry on as possible truths, especially,y with a lack of physical, forensic evidence. Science seems to be the cure-all, or at least bring to light debunked information rather than carrying on the mythos behind most urban legends and other myths. However, there is always room for sincere investigwtion, and seeing as most scientists wouldn't dare sacrifice their integrity and their careers in trying to prove or disprove such creatures, we now have s whole group of people out trying to solve these shrouded legends with little-to-no professional background.
There is also a great deal of skepticism within the cryptozoology community, and that is common for most sciences, but these are solely based in theories with wbsoult y no evidence backing it up, and although theory doesn't necessarily mean truth, nor deception, it is clear that physical evidence isn't debatable, but harangued with a fervor of flighty finger-pointing. The reason why cryptozoology will survive, but the myths that are attempted to be debunked will not, is not because the people will solve the mysteries,minor because there's absolutely no evidence to back up such claims, but because mapping the entirety of the universe will negate any serious interest in the myths, as people will be Far more fascinated with hard evidence, not dubious half-facts, and fake Bigfoot prints.
To be as fair as I can on the subject at hand, the idea of a Bigfoot fascinates many, although I've been more partial to Nessie and the American version of Champ. These are great ways to get people to come to a place that nobody would dare visit even for the worst vacation. I'd rather go see Stonehenge or the Blarney Stone than spend five seconds near Loch Ness. Still, Bigfoot is one of the things that people absolute,y want to believe is real, and although I don't believe a single iota of the "evidence" that's been submitted, I have to believe that there is something far more interesting eating out in the woods p, like an unknown species of wolf,mor a species of raccoon that's yet to be analyzed. I'm sure there's plenty of unmapped species that are being discovered and sadly going extinct that we need to focus more greatly on what is already in existence, because these same animals constantly change traits,mhabits, and adaptation skills the more we grow, and the more they circumnavigate around us.
Animals are absolutely intriguing like that, and we barely understand the habits of the banana slug, nor are we able to truly, and fully conceive the premise of theoretical ape monster living out in the Pacific Northwest. Like all tall tales, something will eventually replace the Bigfoot mythos, and there's a great deal of intelligence behind those who have discovered more species in trying to single-mindedly find a Sasquatch. So perhaps there is some good from those who go out searching without the reality television facade, or those oceanographers that maintain their funding by searching for megaladon and if they did find something like that, I sure we'd find a way to turn it into a series of terrible books and SyFy original movies that it would be as mundane as watching alligators sleep.
So is cryptozoology going to survive the 21st century? Is there enough evidence to prove any of these superstitions exist? I'd hate to take information debated from hundreds of years, ago, and folklore so that came over from other countries (the headless horseman is a prime example of believing a myth that doesn't even originate in aSleepy Hollow, but stems from Germany, yet people stil migrate li to find evidence of the spook.) yet we still hope for them to be true, because it wold be evidence of something more than the perceived reality. The human brain is natural,yncurious, outlandishly creative,mane far-more incurring on such adamant topics, but there is a serious loss of self when the fantasy wants so badly to leak out into reality. Perhaps this is a psychological issue, but it doesn't hinder us in any way, because deep down, we have to accept the folly at there is nothing out there, that there is no supernatural, there is no para or all, and what we perceive as otherworldly is very universal in scientific explanation. So no, the myths won't survive, the ideas will change, and as we've seen with the concept of Slenderman, future great ions will create their own folklore so,Mille A.I.s run amuck on the internet that will haunt your digital properties, or evil ghost. A obits that will haunt your brain,mane drive you mad. Trust me, the future of such folklore a will be created by those with a sort of creativity that sincerely comes from such genius, the creator must surely be mad.
