Remote viewing film Third Eye Spies

Alex Tsakiris has interviewed Lance Mungia, the director of the film:

I haven't listened to the interview, but the extract at the beginning of the Skeptiko thread talks almost entirely in terms of conspiracy theories rather than remote viewing experiments.

Chris Savia of The Anomalist comments:
"Study Shows There's Nothing Wacky About Conspiracy Theorists Phys.Org
Everyone has conspiracy theories, but are they as nuts as their believers? A survey of reddit's conspiracy subreddit illustrates holding outlandish beliefs isn't so nutty. Everyone trips down a rabbit hole, now and again, but it's where they end up is where madness lay. Take Alex Tsakiris, who tripped down the deepest rabbit hole known to humanity in recent memory, and now he finds himself talking to diverse personalities concerning high strangeness and consciousness. Like Lance Mungia who bends Alex's ear to espouse his findings concerning Third Eye Spies And What's Behind Remote Viewing Disclosure in a wide-ranging and engaging conversation."

I think that's meant to be complimentary about Alex.

It's now available on YouTube. It's been up a few months and already nearly 1M views.

I've watched the film and it's very well made  but it was mostly a sort of "greatest hits" of the remote viewing program and that's about all  The only skeptic this would trouble was one who was unfamiliar with the literature (and goodness knows there's a lot of them) but it was nothing new to me  except a couple of quotes here and there. Certainly not enough to change my opinion that psi has no useful military function.

Out of interest - you said you don't think psi has a useful military function, but do you think psi is real?

I don't know. From what I can tell, parapsychologists ar emeasuring something, but I'm not sure what. My best guess is that all informational psi is actually presentiment - accessing future knowledge. But who knows. Still a work in progress.

You mention a category 'informational psi'. Do other categories e.g. telekinesis interest you or are out of scope?

Yes, by and large, things like PK never really caught my interest.

I agree that 'something' is going on - especially with some of the real striking hits in the Ganzfeld, for example.

No idea what it is though!
