A little synchronicity: yesterday I was browsing the subject of consciousness and came across a video from the Closer To Truth series featuring Marilyn Schlitz. This morning (as it is right now in NZ) I see another Marilyn Schlitz interview from Closer to Truth has been posted at The Daily Grail.

I have to say that I agree with the "almost incomprehensible" comment (except for the use of "almost"). What's worse, for the layman, is the way that both sides of any debate often seem to use the same statistics to support their case.

Quote:A large portion of the general public believe in psi effects (such as telepathy and precognition) due to to first-hand, real-world experiences, but only a small percentage of those people follow academic research into the topic. This is perhaps due to the statistics-heavy papers that result from studies into psi, which are, at best, a dry read, and at their worst almost incomprehensible to the lay reader.
