On this episode of Skeptico, a deep, deep dive into consciousness.

Once you experience it, you can't go back.

You suddenly, you know that reality is unbelievably bizarre.

And the dimensionality of consciousness is going to move us into advancing who we are as humans.

But we await the paradigm shift, which is critical in terms of our understanding the science of the subjective,

integrating it with the science of the physical in order to better understand consciousness, reality, and maybe a little bit more

about what life and reality is all about.

That's today's guest, Dr. Bob Davis, talking about his new movie, The Consciousness Connection.

Hold on tight.

A lot of level three inside baseball to follow. Welcome to Skeptico where we explore controversial science and spirituality with leading researchers,

thinkers, and their critics. I'm your host, Alex Akaris, and today we welcome Dr. Bob Davis back to Skeptico.

You know, I just went and re-listened to episode 419 when Bob was on. He was talking about

his book, Unseen Forces. And I was like, oh my gosh, how have I dropped the ball? How have I not

had this guy on since? Bob is great. You'll hear that again here,

but go back and list that other interview. I thought it was just a phenomenal interview that he gave.

He's incredibly smart. He is a real top-notch scientist, like highly regarded in his field, PhD Ohio State, multiple NIH grants,

dozens and dozens of papers and presentations at top universities, Harvard, Cambridge, all that stuff.

I mean, he is the real deal as a scientist in his field.

And I guess the reason that I emphasize that so much

is because you're not going to believe the conversation we're about to have. This is a guy who

should be super mainstream, keep it down the middle of the road, do what I'm told kind of thing.

And he's not doing that at all.
