I’m also afraid that we’re not in a classroom, and nobody is marking and grading us according to our virtuosity in the use of English. Perhaps you fantasize that you are a teacher of some kind, demanding that I demonstrate my worth for you. Perhaps you are lost outside of academia and seek some familiar routine and the reassurance of your place in an intellectual pecking order.
My realism is that there are enough people in the world that you can, with a bit of effort, find people who believe anything, will do anything, and/or will say anything. I didn’t say that the government (any government) were employing such people. Personally I think your theory about the government employing new agers is crackers, a view currently bolstered by the complete lack of evidence for it.
There are plenty of religious groups willing to go fuck with the minds of people in other countries all on their own, much like they’re fucking with the minds of people in their own countries. No reason to suspect the government in it.
Well, somewhat ironically, to the (not very great) extent that there’s a meaningful position articulated in the article, it actually goes straight back to Pauli (together with C.G. Jung), who indeed proposed that mind and matter might stand to one another in a relationship very much like the complementarity of quantum mechanics (what would nowadays be considered a type of dual-aspect monism).
Since you’ve disparaged the term often enough in this thread, and it pertains directly to the subject at hand, could you at least give us your definition of “science”?
You showed us something that supposedly happened in 1958. Why should we believe you when you say that scientists all over the world are continuing this more than half a century later? It’s your claim-you back it up.
If you are going to disparage science, it would be nice if you didn’t steal terms from it to mislabel whatever it is you are promoting. Of course, it would be nice if you could show us that you understood what the word “science” means in the first place.
Supposedly ? It’s there sitting in your government archives, not in the akashic records.
Man, if you have no actual interest in how the world works, nobody can help you, I’m not spoon feeding you. Is this deliberate, or even feigned, ignorance, I wonder.
Is there any point in saying anything to you if you think a link to a respectable history book covering government religious psy-op programs only “supposedly” shows it’s existence.
I’ll maybe come back to you after I’ve watched a documentary on the CIA and Tibetan resistance. You don’t suppose they promoted buddhist supernatural woo at all, do you ? Nah, let’s not make such suppositions.
