Classic and fantastic show!
I’ve been diggin’ Gordon’s show for a few years now, myself. I enjoyed Gordon’s breakdown of how we think and draw conclusions. Not anything we have not heard before - but even when endeavoring to follow blind empiricism, we still fall prey to altering our conclusions of specific data sets based on how we ask questions, our tools and our bias. Consider the replication crisis these days.
Totally dig Gordon’s early childhood recollection of spirits observing him and he observing them. Spooked me out, bc as a 5 year old, I came to the same conclusions of the exact same phenomena in my childhood home (later to be assumed to be haunted by many others not just me). I’ve flirted with just thoughts and curiosity of the magic realms but have, at times, fallen back into empiricism and fairly boring science mindsets in between open minded rumination bouts. One reason I still can’t let go of the scientific method is it fills me with a sense of predictable peace. Example... half way through reading “Chaos Protocols” a few years back, it seemed like all hell broke loose in my life. I had really been exploring a lot of different concepts and it felt like that “in between” place was not a comfortable place to be. In a panic I had to make peace with the happenings - so what could possibly go wrong by burying it behind some other books in my chest and saying a few affirmations that whatever was happening was not welcome. Hey, things settled down right quickly after that. Coincidence? Superstition? Maybe... just like the childhood hauntings. That’s what I tell myself these days anyhow. PS I am certainly convinced we are all invincible in a CP sort of way. I have not lost that understanding at least.
