Ditto, the presence of all three was very refreshing and usefull. Although it made the guest for a while quiet uneasy. But who can resist Ark when the talk starts about information fields and quantum waves? ;D
Also, the remark about the heart transplant cases was interesting. I remember stories of my now ex-girlfriend who did a bio-tech bachelor studies with a two-year follow-up practice in London with one of the best lung transplant specialist. She was talking about the same experiences the patients had after getting a transplant. New habits, seemingly irrational decisions taken etc. Upon researching history of donors they discovered the connection.
Furthermore, only about half of receivers lived reasonably long after. The rest was not neither so lucky, neither happy after surgery. Could that be that the FRVs of receivers would require matching those of donors in order for success of transplantation?

Yeah, we were a bit surprised that he was kinda backward compared to the research/work we do. But, that's what happens when philosophers get into anything! They have to reinvent the wheel with their own hands to understand it and try to explain it.

Yes, as always, a great show!
I was very excited that Laura and Ark were both present. In the beginning, when the subject of 'information' was being discussed, I began to get a little frustrated (for lack of a better word), particularly with the phrase 'semantic knowledge'. I was glad for the appearance of HK. I think because I just finished reading some of his thoughts on that subject (so they were fresh in mind) that were very well presented, understandable and lead me to open my own thinking. I guess I thought that his questions would open more discussion on that particular subject.
I have not yet read Stephen's book, I wish I had, so I would have a better perspective. This is a fascinating subject and I am glad that I was able to listen 'live' for this show. It's hard not to be skeptical about this 'parapsych business', and it's certainly hard to 'prove' with our limited knowledge, but I was left feeling that so much energy is being wasted debunking, disproving the 'charlatans' (not that that isn't important) that could be used to investigate the possibilities. The probabilities even because there is so much evidence to show that there is so much we don't know with any certainty, but yet it exists.
I guess I really need to read his book to get a better handle on where he is coming from and a better grasp on my subjective interpretation.
So, Thanks SOTT Talk Radio & Hosts, for another interesting and informative show.
