My apologies - and thanks. Obviously the conversation has moved on further than I thought (although I did check with the search function and couldn't find my earlier post)! Thanks again - just wanted to make sure I hadn't offended anyone!

What happened to my post about Capgras syndrome? Was it deleted for some reason?

Hi Walter, Your description of waking up thinking that you were in a different body and in the home of a different family reminded me a little of "Capgras delusion" (or Capgras syndrome) - see Wikimedia Error - although it's not an exact fit by any means. Following the link on that Wikipedia...

Well said. Of all the bullshit I've read in the forums, this thread has to take the biscuit. Absolutely shocking :(

Sorry to hear the news Siani, glad you weren't injured physically.

This is a well known experiment, perhaps more so in the UK and amongst SPR members given the involvement of David Fontana and the late Montague Keen (and Arthur Ellison?). I haven't read the book but have read quite a few reactions to it in the SPR journal over the years.

That's a coincidence, that's the one I was referring to too!

Probably not the word I would have chosen but I've never understood why this guy has such a loyal following, his critical reasoning skills are obviously non-existent. I tried listening to one of his wife's podcasts last year and that was equally full of nonsense.

I don't know if it's been mentioned already but the interview with Michio Kaku here is well worth listening to, especially the last half. I'm not a huge fan of SGU but there's some interesting stuff about parallel universes, etc.

Great show, great guest (one of the best - if not the best - in both cases). Surprised to see the somewhat lukewarm reception from some quarters but Jerry's standpoint on a lot of issues mirrors my own very closely so I suppose I'm inclined to give him extra brownie points :)

Agreed. Different league entirely.

Fantastic! Heard Jerry speak many years ago in the UK and always enjoy his writing. Really, really looking forward to this. Thanks G&D!

John, Walter Bishop (Fringe) would be proud of you! ;)

Yep, I'll third that. Check out his his interview with Tim Binnall here.

I like it. As long as there's an effort to bring forward up to date info on events covered (rather than just rehashing the original reports) I think it would be really useful.
