This is a comment I made under your video with Dr Simon Young, a discussion that I much enjoyed for his rare ability to be open minded.
It’s a curious thing that Dr Young said about academia requiring data, etc. However, the reality of otherworldly beings and dimensions is well established, and the problem is that academia and science has no way of measuring what is beyond their ability.
The materialist attitude is a belief system, yet ironically materialists and much of academia in general have long defamed and marginalized others for their beliefs. This is a case not being able to see the forest for the trees. Academia is highly reductionist and limited by their ideas, methods, fears, and peers. The world is passing them by, because, measurable or not, the paranormal is experienced all the time. And, by the way, there are several excellent researchers who do extensive work in proving nonphysical events and the so-called paranormal. Two who come to mind are Dr Dean Radin and Dr Rupert Sheldrake.
In the case of UFOs and alien beings, for example, governments such as that of the United States have been in touch with them for more than 80 years, though they have run a simultaneous campaign of defamation and cover-up over this span of time.
Science has given us many wonderful things in the way of technology, communications, transportation, building, engineering, and so on, but it has mistakenly been placed on the altar as a god, and in doing so people have denied the vast majority that exists as reality. Quite frankly, academia needs to stay out of things it cannot and will not understand instead of ruining careers, firing professors, marginalizing and ostracizing professionals and researchers, defaming people, and making statements about things they clearly do not know about.
Academia and science in general, from my own experience as a writer over the past 50 years, are more likely to invalidate and deny the facts than to simply admit that they do not know what’s going on. This attitude, ironically, is the exact opposite of what science is supposed to be.
Your work, your podcasts, are refreshing and unapologetic, and this is the place we need to be if we are to face up to reality — the reality that science has long denied.
Thank you! yes I really agree with what you said here. Both Dr Radin and Dr Sheldrake’s work is excellent. I agree with your sense of science being held aloft as ‘the only way’. It feels like we are now reclaiming the other parts of ourselves that we’d discarded or repressed. I’m glad you enjoy the episodes 🙂
