RE: Losing belief in Science.

in #science8 years ago

I agree wholeheartedly on the science ever being a truth or law. I just wanted to use a more textbook definition than my personal one. I enjoy watching most of Sheldrake's talks. I know Graham has aligned himself with some oddballs, but personally the only message I see from him really pushing is that humans are far older than we think we are and showing evidence of that. That vice article is some straight propaganda written by someone who never has watched the videos of experiments or read the data they and others supporting the theory put out. Not everything is sound with it, but the fact remains plasma and electromagnetism do play a much bigger part in this than we are usually told. I have dug into a lot of older theories and this is really old think coming back with more modern experiments and data to support it but as before fraught with contention.

Sort:  

I think Graham claims and infers a lot more than that, but I kind of like his style anyway. I think a lot of us were told in a general way that people long ago were very primitive and stupid and I like things that challenge this notion, it's clearly quite wrong and I believe the agenda there is largely to support "enlightenment" ideas without challenge.

I'll look into EU more, I guess I'm not well read up on it enough to say more. I will say though (it's obvious) that old / ancient knowledge is not correct by virtue of it's age or reverence by peoples or cultures in which it was developed. If you don't let the research guide you then bias is baked into the results. But that mightn't apply here!

In any case thanks for putting me on to EU, regardless of what it turns out to be 😁
