Hi Telmo, I have tried the Other Side stuff for a bit, and found it wanting. Steinhart, said he had some experiences but decided they were not that significant to himself. He is more buzzed, he said, but the beauty of mathematics, emotionally. Here is a crowd funded 3D augmented reality game, due out next year, called Night Terrors, so much for the paranormal, yes? We maybe, could, have the paranormal adventure any time we choose.
http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/05/01/survival-horror-augmented-reality-game-night-terrors-maps-your-house I cross-posted a message to Ben Goetzel on his "Multiverse" website, as well as on Guilio Prisco's Turing-Church website sight concerning Goetzel's non-response, to my question to him, about afterlife ideas, if any? He seemed to touch on this in a recent article, as well as his 2006, The Hidden Pattern, which I had downloaded, a couple of months ago. Any data or opinion on Goetzel's view on all this?

Hi spudboy, I follow Ben Goetzel and have some of the books he recommends on the topic on my to-read list. I remain agnostic on this stuff, and just try to consider the simplest explanation, even if it's boring. In the case of this story, this sounds a lot like the event was staged by some nice person who cares about the bride. This doesn't mean that is the correct explanation, of course. What I am more curious about are replicable laboratory experiments. Some people, like Goetzel, are claiming that results with statistical significance are known. Maybe this is a nice opportunity for amateur science, because dealing with this topics would still career suicide for many people -- even if to find negative results. Of course believing in the supernatural is absurd -- what does that even mean? If, for example, ghosts were real, then this would just mean that current scientific theories are incomplete or wrong. Cheers, Telmo.

At the end of the day, it either works for us, or it doesn't. -----Original Message----- From: LizR < lizj...@gmail.com> To: everything-list < everything-list@googlegroups.com> Sent: Sun, May 3, 2015 7:03 am Subject: Michael Shermer becomes sceptical about scepticism! Michael Shermer is the publisher of "Skeptic" magazine, which I used to subscribe to - but I could only take so many debunkings, lectures on science, and so on, and eventually I cancelled the sub, reasonably well convinced that I had by now obtained all the wherewithal I was ever going to need to give 123 reasons to explain any apparently supernatural event... http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/anomalous-events-that-can-shake-one-s-skepticism-to-the-core/ It's also a rather nice story. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
