Correct, it is not scientific. And that is because science currently is too restricted to be able to cover this area. Therefore, this area can currently only be explored in an empirical manner. I know it's frustrating to learn, but science cannot cover and therefore cannot explain everything. But does that mean that we should be closed-minded about other possibilities?
- container 9y agoThis part seems reasonable, or perhaps even 'scientific': "And this is how you can verify this: Ask "your voice(s)" to give you a verifiable piece of information. If your voices are real, they will give you proof. So just repeat the experiment until you're satisfied." Although it's probably not advisable to start experimenting with mental illness symptoms, this should make the assumption of a "gift" falsifiable.
- mercer 9y agoThe big problem is that if you already have a voice talking to you, there's decent possibility you might also find verification that isn't real. If your basic connection to reality is misbehaving, there's really not much that verifying yourself (or lol ghosts!), so to speak, would solve. I'd say the only real solution is to make sure that others around you, who are generally considered sane, and ideally critical of your claims, are there to verify your internal verification.
