quickquestion Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 All the empirical evidence shows in the opposite direction: that consciousness is a function of the processes in the brain. Philosophy contradicting empirical evidence is very poor philosophy, and in fact worthless. Not a big fan of his thread, it sounds like mumbo jumbo. In any case, emperical evidence indicates a small amount of telepathic conscious influence. The amount is very small, and not of the psychadelic mumbo jumbo proprieties implied in the OP.

Can you provide a reference to this evidence (preferably from a peer reviewed publication).
quickquestion Posted April 23, 2017 Author Posted April 23, 2017 Can you provide a reference to this evidence (preferably from a peer reviewed publication). It is called the Global Consciousness Project. http://noosphere.princeton.edu
Strange Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 It is called the Global Consciousness Project. http://noosphere.princeton.edu While interesting, that is not about "telepathic conscious influence".

imatfaal Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 I am also pretty sure that the Global Consciousness Project is yet to identify a real data point. Mother Theresa's funeral, 9/11 etc all provided blips - but with no good correlation and no differentiation between blips when nothing happened. All a load of crackpottery at present til they pony up some significant data 1

All a load of crackpottery at present til they pony up some significant data It did look like an exercise in selection and confirmation biases, but I haven't looked at it in enough detail to draw any conclusions.
