Below are thought provoking statements about consciousness from "The Brain And The Inner World", by Solms and Turnbull. It is not the definitive work on the subject (what could be?) , but does a superb job of attempting to explain the almost ineffable interface between mind and matter as...

There are no testable hypotheses here and Smoot's central theme is speculative. But his logic is disturbingly sound.

We are now in that infamous hall of cracked mirrors that constitutes the sociological and political side of the UFO. During the years of 1947 to 1948, the Air Force did little to conceal its interest in the UFO phenomenon and were seemingly concerned about national security implications...

Subsequent reported events in Arnold's life are perhaps even stranger than his original sighting. As usual, it's hard to say how much of this can be verified.

GL, are you also getting that kind of speed with your wireless LAN? My provider guarantees and delivers 100 Mbps with hard wired connections. My wireless LAN reception is about 30 percent slower and its speed is more variable. The receiving gizmo for my network adapter is connected via...

Randall, your points are well taken. But I fail to see how we can rule continuation of consciousness and sense of self either in or out. I would say, as much for the sake of argument as anything, that the wildcard in our speculations is the seemingly infinite nature of time and the fate of...

Why not? And maybe a few rounds of mud wrestling.

This guy didn't get to be who he is by laying his cards out on the table and playing by straightforward rules. He is not outside of the establishment. He is the establishment.

Once the right wing was able to buy up and micro-manage mainstream media, especially AM radio, the lantern and pitchfork bacchanalia was on.

The current Republican nomination process in a soundbite: One front runner who thinks he is on a first name basis with God in contest with another one who thinks he is God. :confused:

Hey Sean, If such information was solid and verifiable, it would be of great interest. But I would still be wary of hypnotic memory retrieval as a means of re-playing real life, physical events. Even in the case of, say, multiple witness abductees who have the same or very similar...

Place little faith in the magic of regression hypnosis as a kind of magic key to unlock memories of "what really happened". Hypnosis is as likely to create false memories as to uncover real ones. Possibly more so.

Don, That's one fantastic pic !

It's hard to read through the history of the "modern" UFO phenomenon without at least hypothesizing an undefined connection, of an individual and personal nature, between the observer and what the observer perceives he or she really saw. This is in no way to imply that certain self-proclaimed...

Just listened to the episode. Big kudos to all for a great show! :) :cool:

This episode hit more than one nail smack on the head. It was good to to hear an informed discussion placing greater emphasis on witnesses as an integral aspect of the phenomenon. We have mountains of observer data amassed over decades by well intention-ed researchers, but relatively little...

As I explained to Gene and Goggs a little earlier this morning, looks like I will be sitting this one out. Just being given the opportunity is a great honor. And I hope to participate at some future date. A few possible questions: (apologies if already asked) -What is your opinion regarding...

I've never served in the military. But seems like I have heard guys who have gone through or were about to tackle SERE speaking in tones of trepidation and maybe just a little fear. Perhaps I simply mis-heard or did not understand.

Interesting. Just don't want to be around for the first "core breach" lol.

The human brain is essentially a virtual reality generator as it (seemingly) sits at a kind of interface between the body's inner state and events exterior to the organism that affect it in terms of well being and survival. Memory is created at both conscious and subconscious levels and is...
