The Telepathy Tapes

Jeffrey J. Kripal is a professor of Philosophy and Religious Thought at Rice University in Houston, Texas and he is back on the pod to answer all your burning questions about the chart topping podcast THE TELEPATHY TAPES (is it real? Is it a hoax?), near-death experiences, and how science falls short when studying the metaphysical and supernatural abilities. Jeffrey explains how the very attempt at measuring extra-sensory abilities could make them unmeasurable. Mayim and Jeffrey explore the possibility that those with autism, ADHD or who are nonverbal may be able to tap into another realm and how fear plays a large role in limiting our perception of these abilities.

The Telepathy Tapes Responds to the CfI Skeptical Testing Request

I reached out to Ky about responding to this challenge, and she had this to say about the testing she was focused on:

The Telepathy Tapes team is actively collaborating with scientists from institutions including Cambridge, Yale, UC San Diego, the University of Virginia, Northwestern, and others—consulting, supporting research efforts, and coordinating telepathy tests. These researchers are conducting peer-reviewed studies, with IRB approval, to rigorously explore and validate the abilities demonstrated in the film.

This is a substantial upgrade from anything the Center for Inquiry could offer, so a skeptical test is completely unnecessary. But wait, there’s more.

So it looks like my hope that noted parapsychologists at least would be willing to conduct more rigorous testing is being fulfilled.

I also agree there's little point in engaging with CFI and other organizations that we know are dishonest and more interested in preserving an atheistic/materialist fundamentalism that seeking Truth.
