    Robert Forte, The Softer Side of CIA Psychedelic Mind Control |407|

    Hi David, I'm a bit late to this discussion but it does seem there is a wide range of knowledge and opinions on the topic. For anyone looking for more background info there are several documentaries. There is one called "The Net: LSD, The Unibomber, and the Internet" I saw about a decade ago...

    Al Borealis Created a Podcast That Dives Deep Into Topics That Matter |389|

    David Mathisen is changing the way we think about Hercules |337|

    Hi David, I certainly will visit your site and read more about your work. I'm not very familiar with the subject matter, but I believe man has somehow "lost" something from our ancient past. When I downloaded the Podcast I really didn't expect to hear a theory that may provide an explanation...

    David Mathisen is changing the way we think about Hercules |337|

    Sorry for being late to the party, but I am new to Skeptiko and just listened to this podcast a few days ago. I found this interview and David's theory to be fascinating and it triggered a thought in me I wanted to share. In ancient times, pre-book, pre-alphabet and even pre-language, man...
