In general this is true...but it doesn't account for the chaotic phenomena known as "zen mind, beginner's mind." Many times, a eureka moment can come from an outsider or an absolute noob. Sometimes old-timers or those invested in a certain system can mistake the map for the territory. Which is...

Two confirmed cases in my Massachusetts town today. It's two little kids who went to Mexico on vacation. They're home with their mother and apparently don't require hospitalization. I gotta say, it feels weirder when it's closer to home.

My other issue is this: There seems to be widespread interest in and acceptance of remote viewing here because it comes dressed in scientific clothing. But fundamentally -- it is clairvoyance. Old-fashioned psychics have had similar successes and limitations. We're talking about the same ability...

That's where I'm at, too. There's as much evidence for the existence of RV/psychic abilities as there is for the UFO phenomenon. To me, the interesting questions are more like what are the implications of these abilities? What are the possibilities? How could psychic phenomena be connected to...

Unfair. Skeptical Inquirer magazine is known to block psychic rays of all kinds.

It's probably not coincidental that letters and numbers are also hard to see in dreams. I've had a lot of trouble trying to dial a phone in dreams, for instance.

Never put my finger on this before. Thank you. If it were all in our heads, the "aliens" should have started to use "stargates" as soon as we conceived of them.

That's what they say. But their lame official "solutions" to the Roswell mystery suggest otherwise. Any intelligent person would question the crash test dummies story. That's what the story may be designed to make you do.

You're right. 1940's secret technology is by definition obsolete by now. There could be no reason to hide it anymore. The government might still want to conceal covert actions against another country or some kind of massive human rights abuse against our own citizens, particularly if it's...

I don't find it odd, mainly because of the reasons I listed. I didn't think you were being offensive by posting this topic -- I'm sorry if you did get that impression. I am white too, but racism is a big issue for me and I can get impassioned about it pretty easily. I am part of a mixed...

Has anyone ever discovered a (manmade) crop circle that was messed-up, half-finished, et c? It seems like an easy kind of thing to screw up.

Forgive me, but when your great-great-grandparents were bought and sold and bred as if they were cattle, and people with your skin color are still viewed by many -- whether consciously or subconsciously -- as subhuman, the issue of your personal sovereignty is a slightly touchier one. So maybe...

Or, as in the case of the Led Zeppelin album cover, just inform us about the weather. Great post, Schuyler, by the way.

My problem with this week's guests: they are much too certain of themselves. They're so overly sure of themselves that they believe that they're not overly sure of themselves. Rhetorical question: Is there something wrong with my gender that makes us females unable to speak up on podcasts? This...

I thought of something like this too. The hoaxers (and others in the fundamentalist debunking community) act as though this kind of stunt is real science -- but this wasn't a controlled experiment.

I believe in freedom of expression. But there's a big difference between believing in free speech and giving someone a forum. I'm sure the author of that article is capable of finding his/her own soapbox. You can get a blog for free nowadays. They don't need Rense. Rense is responsible, and...

Oh, dear. Sending him good thoughts...

You're assuming a lot about me that just isn't true. I've actually given the subject of evil a lot of serious thought and study, both within an academic setting and on my own. The definition is my own. Most people acknowledge the existence of holy men and women, people within whom good is...
