The article seemed so overly biased against the studies even the concepts discussed in the earlier studies that didn't 'replicate', that I was immediately put on guard and didn't trust the statements about any current studies sited in opposition. And, the last half kind of went off the rails. It almost turned into a rant against any hint that humans might be 'mechanistic'. But, there was no opposing theory around human thought or actions presented except "Its Quantum Mechanics" and that came off as "Woo". So I was left with a kind of whiplash between the start with kind of reasonable questioning (paraphrase) 'all these studies showing humans can be influenced are wrong and woo', then the end of the article (paraphrase) 'humans are completely rational, there is no un-conscious influences, but we don't know how but maybe Quantum Mechanics". At the beginning of the article, there was a lot of time spent discussing "Replication". Then by the end it's "Science doesn’t work that way anymore, but few have gotten the message. ... Ever since quantum mechanics came to be, and quantum mechanics is probably the greatest scientific idea of this century (n.b. the 20th -ed.), you can kiss goodbye to causal explanation. " So? Just a really long argument against Physics in the sense of Mechanistic/Clockwork Universe, but then turning around and using Quantum Physics to call upon Quantum Strangeness to bypass Causes/Effect. All to get rid of the 'clockwork view'. But for what? To imbue humans with something more 'mystical', like a 'soul' or something? Cause and effect are tossed out, but nothing put forth to replace what is being torn down.
