The website of the San Francisco Chronicle have published a Q&A with parapsychology researcher Dean Radin (coincidentally, it’s his birthday today). The conversation covers everything from psi and skeptics, to God and ‘intentional chocolate’. In the middle of the interview, there is some interesting discussion about Radin’s involvement in the classified Stargate remote viewing program:
Once I went through all of the months and months of background reviews and so on to get the classification, I finally got the briefing that is given to the military officers and intelligence officers with the right clearance, and when you get to the end of that briefing the idea that there is no evidence is so ludicrous that you want to somehow let everybody know this. It is amazing! There are some people who are extremely good, highly reliable remote viewers. And not simply in terms of experimental studies, but in real world applications, typically intelligence-backed applications. There are dozens and dozens of government agencies that were actively using these people, and there are dozens of examples of amazing gifts. The psychics were able to describe things that turned out to be not only true, but pragmatically useful.
Good to see more mainstream coverage of psi research. You can keep up to date with Dean Radin’s thoughts on a regular basis via his blog.
