BoA:Audio welcomes Alex Tsakiris, host of the popular podcast Skeptiko, for a spirited discussion on his new book Why Science is Wrong … About Almost Everything.
Over the course of this lengthy conversation, we delve into the mystery of consciousness and how it poses a conundrum to mainstream science, how Near Death Experiences represent key evidence towards showing that consciousness is not trapped within the brain and how skeptics of NDEs resort to some pretty underhanded techniques to stifle research and belief in the phenomenon.
Along the way, we also discuss science’s fear of death, Rupert Sheldrake’s research into the potential psychic connection between dogs and their owners, Alex’s attempt to have an honest investigation into psychic detectives with a skeptic and how it went strangely awry, as well as the healing research of Dr. William Bengston.
Additionally, we throw lots of shade at the scientific and skeptical communities, while also pondering the challenge of both solving life’s ‘big questions’ and getting the mainstream to look further into potential answers to these mysteries. Plus, of course, tons more.
Altogether, it’s a provocative edition of BoA:Audio which will likely stir emotions in listeners who reside throughout the range of belief systems when looking at the paranormal as we learn Why Science is Wrong with Alex Tsakiris.
