Certainly no apologies necessary. Hope all is well with you.

Now if that means we can change our realities, I’m in.

I found this yesterday, it claims that big data is mined by algorithms, controlled by AI, that then feeds the data to chat bots to influence credulous human beings. Is there anything in this? Are we in the Matrix? Echo Chambers, Memes, and Brain...

No discount for the e version.

@USI Calgary, sorry for dropping out of our conversation last week without (for some reason) posting the rest of what I'd been writing to you. Many distractions ensued just after that. I will redraft that response and get it posted in the next...

Omnigraphics seems to have print and E-versions for $139.00, here.

Jerome Clark discusses the third edition of his two-volume work, "The UFO Encyclopedia." Is it the most expensive UFO book ever? This episode ended too quickly, so Randall and I invited Jerry back on this weekend's episode of After The...

Dear colleagues. (you can find download links of Wendy’s album near the end of this message) I am happy to announce that Wendy Connors’ important audio compilations 'Faded Discs' are finally available in public domain for every researcher and...

What are we supposed to be seeing?

I think it’s only in paperback and it didn’t have large print run, so it may bit have reached the public library system - but I do see it on Amazon for about $14

Thanks for the comment. I would like to check out the book sometime too. I'll have a look to see if our library has a copy.

An excellent programme/guest - his book “Illuminations” goes into much more detail on his theory and illustrative cases. I think this a refreshinging different/sceptical approach well worth further investigation. I certainly look forward to his...

To respond to your question let me begin by quoting from the 'intimidating thesis' expressed in Damasio's most recent book, which I highlighted in green two posts back in the description of his newest book, The Strange Order of Things: Life...

Previous books by Damasio that we should consult: Descartes' Error: Emotion, Reason, and the Human Brain Self Comes to Mind: Constructing the Conscious Brain The Feeling of What Happens: Body and Emotion in the Making of Consciousness Looking...

Just came across a notice of Antonio Damasio's most recent book and want to note it here before I forget. Available in hard cover now and in paperback in February 2019...

Randall, I don't have time today to respond in detail to your remarks re Panksepp, but in the meantime I think the following paper might provide you with some of the context within which Panksepp's research and thinking have developed and also...

Thanks for the link. Is this a recent episode ?

Yes I've encountered Panksepp before, but I don't follow him on a regular basis. I tend to think he makes assumptions that although seemingly accurate from our anthropocentric perspective, may not be the case. For example attributing human-like...

We revisit Dr. Eric Ouellet on a fascinating journey through the world of parapsychology and sociology to see if any of it lines up with UFOs. As most of you realize, Randall doesn't exactly buy it, which made for a fascinating episode. Randall...

Randall, I find all of Panksepp's research and discoveries, and those of his colleagues in the new discipline of Affective Neuroscience, to be not only interesting but persuasive as I've been arguing here for several years. You might have been...

From another part of the forest, research such as the following, reported in this new entry (a book chapter) at academia.edu, is significant for our attempt to understand the interrelation of biological, neurological, and psychological factors...

Boy that is a tough one. It (as I do this note) has been 39 years since this incident happened. You must listen to the show to hear what Vito and his buddy threatened to do when the suits at NASA led them around by their noses. Of course it is a...

Excellent paper. What is it that you find the most interesting? The strong points? The weak points?

Interesting that you should be bringing this up now because I mentioned Oumuauma not long ago on an episode with RPJ. I also did a whole page on it for the rebuilt USI site ( yet to be launched ). I assume you've seen the Steven Colbert interview...
