Hey hey now... you are setting off my amygdala. :) I am fine with this, but my amygdala is not.I'll bet T.E.S will have some great ideas, but make sure he boils them down to something you definitely understand :)
always good advice :)I suggest you stick to neuroscience-related subjects, but you will have to really push.
The Hard Problem is a good place to start.
Also, when it comes to localising certain types of mental activity to particular parts of the brain - e.g. anger to the amygdala, ask him how anger can be localised anywhere, because anger is almost always about something - so it has to pull in all our other mental faculties. They have to realise there is something to be angry about before 'telling' the amygdala - so what does the amygdala do itself - other than maybe pumping out some hormones?
That argument seems to me to dismantle the whole notion that consciousness can be broken down into various simple interacting modules.
I'll bet T.E.S will have some great ideas, but make sure he boils them down to something you definitely understand :)
Then of course there are NDE's. Make sure he has a bunch of information about NDE's ahead of time - then he can't argue that he hasn't read about them.
His politics sounds like it is rather poisonous, so maybe it would be best not to explore there?

not a waste at all. a skeptiko viewer suggested and I'm glad I did it.BTW, after watching it, I am not sure why you waste your time. You could have been doing something much more productive. Like straightening your sock drawer. Who was interviewing who?
I think he was just hamming it up, but I did sense a lotta backpedaling.Never seen JF so emotional, I think alex struck a nerve somwehre, JF's outright dismissal of anything that can possibly change his world view was obvious. Also its interesting how he denies authority, as a "fallacy" then claims a nurse cannot be trusted. Too me its seems like whenever he heard something that disagrees with him especially the neuroscience stuff, he just calls BS because he cant do anything else.

Love it! Huge laughBTW, after watching it, I am not sure why you waste your time. You could have been doing something much more productive. Like straightening your sock drawer. Who was interviewing who?
I think Laird Scranton is the go to guy re Velikovsky... not sure I can add much to the other interviews that have been done... Grimerica for example.The look on your face when JF denied the "double slit" experiment was priceless! BTW, I am a Skeptic viewer and I am
asking that you do a show on Velikovsky. :::))))))
