Google Tech TalksJanuary, 16 2008ABSTRACTDo telepathy, clairvoyance and other "psi" abilities exist? The majority of the general population believes that they do, and yet fewer than one percent of mainstream academic institutions have any faculty known for their interest in these frequently reported experiences. Why is a topic of enduring and widespread interest met with such resounding silence in academia? The answer is not due to a lack of scientific evidence, or even to a lack of scientific interest, but rather involves a taboo. I will discuss the nature of this taboo, some of the empirical evidence and critical responses, and speculate on the implications.Speaker: Dean RadinDean Radin is a researcher and author in the field of parapsychology. He is Senior Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences and four-time former President of the Parapsychological Association. He holds an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and a masters degree in electrical engineering and a doctorate in educational psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He has worked at AT&T Bell Labs and GTE Labs, mainly on human factors of advanced telecommunications products and services, and held appointments at Princeton University, Edinburgh University, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, SRI International, Interval Research Corporation, and Boundary Institute. At these facilities he was engaged in basic research on exceptional human capacities, principally psi phenomena.

well said.

I'm sorry, but did you not watch this video? Radin sums up and cites replicated data from over 100 years worth of research, and he even left out some data! You need to say a whole lot more than what you've written in order to come close to refuting him. Of course, I recognize that the youtube forum isn't the ideal place. Perhaps you could make a video of your own? Do you have a camera?

I would say that is "a" reason but not "the" reason for lack of "scientific" interest (particularly in the "scientific establishment" this day). The CIA has also been known to suppress and manipulate a lot of information for global war-purposes. Saddam thought that the Navy Seals were going to storm their shores, but that was "manufactured" reporting, for the sake of getting Bagdad's forces to be out of Bagdad. Result? American military easily entered Bagdad. Psychology isn't so simple...

Believe me when I say that out of ALL subjects on the face of this ENTIRE PLANET, Parapsychology is the MOST-VICIOUSLY attacked, opposed and rejected, than ANYTHING else, despised by both "science" for delving into the subjective AND "religion" due to needing scientific-protocol to be understood.Believe me when I say that "the masses" are uncomfortable with change...especially if it's information that does not fit within their paradigm. Without being willing to explore one becomes dogmatic...

The reason why there isn't scientific interest in "psi" is because there had been about 60 years of serious research regarding "psi" which came up empty. There were serious funding to the magnitude of millions of dollars. For example: the CIA spent $20mil researching remote viewing over many years.The Princeton Engineering Anomaly research department was mentioned in the video to have 3 decades of research experience related to "psi". However, they too have turn up nothing.

we are capable of being doing and creating so much more than we know, but were too primal to realize it and do it. we fight too much and dont grow enough in our underachieving lives as earth dwelling humans in this age

Have you ever noticed how many people dismiss something that they don't understand? It's as if the unexplainable challenges their intellect and arrogance inhibits them from searching for the truth. To admit that the world is not as flat and logical as once believed dismantles a person's view of reality. I think it is cool but I'm sure there's a lot of people out there who would disagree and be pissed off that they wasted so much money on a bullshit education.

Every person on earth can do it. But not every person on earth is ready for it. Imagine if everyone could do it today. The world would be a mess.
For those considering buying a new vehicle, don't forget to check out the new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Great for adventures off road, just for cruising around town, or running to the store.

The new 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser seats five and comes in two-tone with a Voodoo Blue, Titanium Metallic, Black Diamond, Sun Fusion, Sandstorm or Brick body color and White top. The interior fabric color is Dark Charcoal, while the dash, center instrument panel trim and the door inserts match the body.
