    Graham Hancock, Carlson, & Shermer on JRE

    I've read both Finger Prints .. And Magicians. I'd recommend starting with Magicians, because you don't really need Finger's first as a prerequisite. Then, knowing what he has backed off from, you can go back to Fingers and read it for the fun of it, as its still worthwhile. Also, I don't...

    Mod+ Discussion - Are Genetically Modified Foods Safe? Should they be labeled?

    This was very cool .... A molecular on/off switch for CRISPR https://phys.org/news/2017-03-molecular-onoff-crispr.html I know I talk about nature responding to our "manipulations", but this still blew me away some. Very cool stuff here, but sounds potentially dangerous to me.

    Thank you for weighing in on these topics! You are way more informed then most of us on here, so helps the rest of us learn something and keep our views balanced. Always like to read your posts :)

    Alan Watts, on, well, not really GMOs, but the complexity of nature and attitudes towards it: Maybe my new attitude towards GMOs is .... 'Maybe'.

    Then, on the insecticide side, you have Bt: From the GMO Myths and Truths Report http://earthopensource.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/GMO-Myths-and-Truths-edition2.pdf Once again, GMO technology is very much related to the concomitant, herbicides, insecticides, etc, where some of the...

    Leslie Kean, Investigative Journalist Tackles Survival After Death |342|

    David, I'm only about maybe 40% of the way through the book and it does cover some stories we're familiar with, but I've been discovering new details about each one that I wasn't aware of before. It's a great book for newcomers to the field, as well as folks like us who may have been around...

    Thanks for the link. Sounds like something I am totally for getting investigated and used. (There more I learn about stem cells, it aggravates me we haven't done more research there). Correct me if I'm missing something, but this sounds way more targeted and safer than the GMOS in food...

    Couple thoughts on this specific question, as it ties into a big part of the problem, as I see it anyhow. Hopefully I can speak about it with some eloquence, as it's hard to pin down at times. Hopefully, it will at least demonstrate the subtleties I feel lie within the question to begin with...

    Thanks for this, I find it very encouraging to know this is all being considered. I'll have to take a closer look at the studies when I get time. I guess this may sound silly, but I guess something I haven't thought of in terms of epigenetics is that about the harm to the plants, meaning would...

    New stuff in neuroscience

    As part of my physics undergrad I had to take a History of Physics course, where I was asked to write a paper on whether Physics happens by revolution OR evolution. I spent many pages arguing it was both, as you seem to be here. I received: "Excellent Paper!! But, B+, since you did not take a...

    Did Dean Radin work on StarGate?

    If they have messenger they should know, but a lot of people ignore FB, especially if they get flooded with stuff like Dean very well might. Looks like Leslie replies to most people who write directly on her page. I'd be surprised if she didn't respond back when it comes to comments on...

    Looking out for trolls

    Looks like you just put Alex on the defensive. (Oh wait, now I put you on the defensive. This trolling crap is contagious!)

    Did Dean Radin work on StarGate?

    Currently reading her book and I thought the same thing! If it's wrong, I would not worry too much about Leslie and the accuracy of the rest of the book - she's got a pretty good reputation. It's probably an honest mistake and a rare occurrence, as far as I can tell. She has an active FB...

    Is faith blind?

    Doesn't quite directly answer the question in the OP, but this is a simple summary of my take on faith, which as you can tell by the quotes, lines up pretty well with Alan Watts too. From my blog.

    Thanks, we share very similar views here, very reasonable and I agree with everything you say. I think the difference in our views is you have to face the practical reality of things, where all I have to do is sit back in an Internet forum and complain about things! Hey, by they way, do you...

    We only eat out once a week (at most) and when we do we always refer to it as our "nasty treat" for the week ;-) My views are definitely more subtle than I stated. Without going into it too much, I will try and summarize succinctly as possible. They're mainly based on parallel ideas from...
