His talk is filled with nonsense. In the beginning, I was going along with him ("yes - let's challenge scientific assumptions") but from the point at which he said rats can learn essentially telepathically, I was out. And it just got worse and worse.
- aneth4 14y agoWhy would you not entertain the idea that rats can learn telepathically? As an open minded scientist, would you not want to test for evidence of such a phenomenon instead of following in the footsteps of flat-earthers, who tune out at the first sign of an idea that seems to question their beliefs? There is so much about the universe we don't even begin to understand, from why anything exists at all to the nature and quality of consciousness. What baffles me is that all these supposedly open-minded rational people can presume to know so much to be "nonsense" about which science does not even claim to know anything at all.
- brockf 14y agoThere have been countless attempts at observing telepathic-like phenomena and not a single one has produced anything. I'm not sure why you are saying science claims not to know about telepathy. Every scientist I know would claim it doesn't exist because it's theoretically impossible and empirically never been observed.
