Summary

Dean Radin, Ph.D., is a prominent figure in the field of parapsychology, known for his extensive research and publications on psychic phenomena. As the chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) and author of influential books such as "The Conscious Universe" and "Entangled Minds," Radin has played a pivotal role in investigating and promoting the scientific understanding of psi phenomena, including telepathy, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis. His work, characterized by its interdisciplinary approach and rigorous statistical analysis, has significantly contributed to the academic and public discourse on the legitimacy and implications of psychic experiences. Radin's efforts have been instrumental in advocating for the open-minded and scientific exploration of these often-controversial subjects within the broader context of consciousness studies.Before joining the research staff at IONS in 2001, he held appointments at AT&T Bell Labs, Princeton University, University of Edinburgh, and SRI International. Dr. Radin is author or coauthor of hundreds of technical articles, some 125 peer-reviewed journal articles, four dozen book chapters, and four best-selling, popular books.

There has been a lot of very cool moments

0:39.4

since I started the podcast, but one of the coolest came a few months ago when I got an email

0:44.3

from Dean Radin, saying that he was enjoying the podcast, but that he had one correction to offer.

0:50.5

In an episode, I'd referred to the alleged use of remote viewing by members of the legendary

Stargate Project. He told me that there was nothing alleged about it. He knew because he'd

been involved in the program. I was already very familiar with Dean Radin's work, and so that

was an email that I was thrilled to receive. Early on in my research into UFOs, it became clear to me that I wasn't going to be able

1:47.3

premonitory dreams or visions, personality changes, and unusual new abilities in the witnesses,

1:53.4

and even healing phenomena. If we're going to take the UFO phenomenon seriously,

1:59.4

then we have to take the stranger realities of UFOs

2:02.5

seriously as well. But no objective rational person should be willing to accept these

2:08.2

stranger realities are, in fact, real, without scientific evidence to back it up. But surely,
