    Michael Shermer has a Paranormal Experience

    That's probably because you are a biased close-minded skeptic.

    Michael Shermer has a Paranormal Experience

    So I can have my own army of minions, all being myself, just for shits and giggles? I think there is a psi hypothesis that goes along those lines (that we are all just sockpuppets of a Great Mind).

    Benham's Top...

    I wouldn't take a dictionary definition on theories of mind in much value. I would rather read the definition of some philosopher or from Plato Stanford philosophy encyclopedia. Anyway, I agree with you that there isn't so far a satisfactory definition of consciousness. I tend to think that it...

    Michael Shermer has a Paranormal Experience

    Thanks Bill, I'll give it a look. I was planning in asking for Sartori's book this christmas as a present to my parents (among other books on parapsychology). I prefer to have them so I can look at them in case I need (I tend to forget details in books!). So far, personally, I'm unsure what's...

    Michael Shermer has a Paranormal Experience

    ¿What was the name of the book again Linda? I keep forgetting it, but it keeps popping in conversations of NDE. It seems mandatory to be read.

    Isn't consciousness a sort of perception? after all, consciousness is just the perception of being aware.

    The woman with 20+ personalities in one body

    I would say that kind of things put the mind=body relation to it's very limit, but I wouldn't say it disproves it, since we currently don't know how much the mind can affect other parts of the body under mainstream neuroscience.

    The Fall of Materialism

    That's the usually end on this videos, so probably we will have to wait for part two or three to receive this pearls of wisdom.

    Something from nothing.

    The issue with the word "begun" is a complex one, but it's also key to frame the problem properly, specially in theology talks where God is posited as the creator of the Universe. One must be carefull in how you define it. The traditional definition goes more like "X begun to exist if there is a...

    PA Conference abstracts

    Sad to see such a promising experiment has such a big flaw. After reading the threads and watching the video, my opinion is that there is subtle cueing going on, and that the effect might dissapear if the experiments are made more rigurous. Anyway, let's hope they can do such a thing to see if...

    Out of the Dark

    ¿Why this planes are called "higher"?, ¿Higher than what?, and based on what axis?, ¿why people don't call them lower planes, or more at the left, or at the right or something like that?

    Ganzfeld Experiments: Suggestions please.

    I though, that due to the critiques parapsychology had received in all their years, that their research pratices where more good than standard sciences. They were ( IIRC) the first ones to use randomized trials, and they eliminated the file drawer in the Ganzfelds by allowing negative results to...

    Ganzfeld Experiments: Suggestions please.

    Jay, ¿could you explain to me why do you think this is the case? You seem to have a better grasp in statistics than I do.
