Pseudoskeptism and acceptable versus unacceptable science [split from "infant consciousness"]

That said, QM and Spacetime seem like they are both about to be generalised into something much more simple and primitive over the the next few decades. I wouldn't waste time arguing about the old stuff - the new stuff is truly beautiful - and I predict it's gonna win out. It's very deep, but very simple.

I don't know enough to argue the point(s) or predict a direction. I am content to read about what these great minds thought of their research and how it influenced their personal philosophies.  They lived and worked in an age in which they could, to some extent, talk about mind and consciousness without the fear of being excommunicated by an ideological orthodoxy. So Schrodinger could talk about his interest in eastern religions at the same time as explaining how it influenced his thinking on the scientific work he was doing. Pauli could work with Jung on synchronicities without being ridiculed (although I understand he had some sense of that and was careful about what he shared with other physicists).

Shrodinger quote:

“The spirit, strictly speaking, can never be the object of scientific inquiry, because objective knowledge of the spirit is a contradiction in terms. Yet, on the other hand, all knowledge relates to the spirit, or, more properly, exists in it, and this is the sole reason for our interest in any field of knowledge whatsoever.”
