Mayim Bialik: 作为主持人，我观察到科学界对于超自然现象的研究存在一种抵触情绪，许多科学家害怕因为研究这些话题而名誉扫地。我认为这种恐惧阻碍了我们扩展对现实的理解。我们应该以开放的心态探索这些现象，并重视那些声称有超自然体验的人的报告，而不是简单地将它们归为错觉或谎言。我们应该鼓励学术界对这些现象进行更严谨的研究，并为那些分享自己经历的人提供支持。 Jonathan Cohen: 我认为我们应该以一种批判但开放的态度来探讨这些话题。我们不应该盲目地相信任何事情，但我们也不应该完全否定那些无法用现有科学知识解释的现象。我们应该努力理解这些现象背后的机制，并探索它们对人类经验的意义。我们应该鼓励更多的对话和研究，以促进我们对现实的更全面的理解。 Jeffrey Kripal: 作为宗教学教授，我认为超自然现象的研究具有重要的学术价值。这些现象在人类文化和历史中扮演着重要的角色，我们不能简单地将它们视为迷信或幻想。我认为科学的局限性在于它无法解释所有现象，我们应该采取一种更开放和包容的态度来探索现实。我认为创伤体验和某些神经多样性（如自闭症）可能与超自然能力的出现有关。我们应该尊重那些有这些体验的人，并努力理解他们的视角。我认为意识可能不仅仅局限于大脑，它可能是一种更广泛的现象，存在于宇宙的每一个角落。我认为我们应该重新思考我们对现实的假设，并探索那些超越我们现有理解的可能性。

Shownotes Transcript

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.
