> Flying somewhat in the face of the 1995 closure of the Star Gate program, an increasing number of peer-reviewed scientific studies seem to be positively addressing the cognitive dissonance that psychic (psi) related phenomena have engendered within the larger scientific community. The challenges presented to Scientific Materialism by psi appear on the verge of mirroring, in form and function, the paradigm-changing pressures that quantum mechanics continues
to bring to bear on the modern scientific edifice.
With actual respect for Dean Radin, footnoted for the above, this is pure delusion and exactly the kind of non-thinking that occurs in this and related "fields". "Psi" has caused precisely zero cognitive dissonance within the larger scientific community. There are precisely zero challenges to "Scientific Materialism" actually presented by "psi" that are even remotely viewable as any way similar to the "pressure" quantum mechanics brought to the prevailing scientific paradigms.
It is in fact possible to explore these topics with reason and critical thinking faculties intact, but it doesn't happen in practice. It's a pity.
