    My talk from Dec. 3 Inquiry Event in NYC

    The video from my talk at December’s An Inquiry into Anomalous Experiences conference in New York City is now available. This is a fairly short talk–only 35 minutes–but it’s packed with big ideas about the new paradigm we need to make sense not just of extraordinary experiences but also of quantum mechanics, consciousness, and ethics. […]

    A few recent publications

    I’ve gotten behind on posting about my recent publications. So here’s a quick guide to the items I’ve published this summer, in parapsychology and in philosophy, in English and in French. An audio version of my 2016 scholarly philosophy book The Feeling of Value, narrated by me (except for the foreword by Thomas Nagel, which […]

  • Why an Afterlife Obviously Exists

    Why an Afterlife Obviously Exists

    Why an Afterlife Obviously Exists is the title of a new book being released this weekend, and I have to say, it does an admirable job of arguing its thesis! Written by Jens Amberts, who trained in philosophy at Linköping University in Sweden, it takes four well-established and uncontroversial premises about near-death experiences and argues […]

    Are Paranormal Beliefs a Result of Lazy Thinking?

    The following article originally appeared on my Psychology Today blog Mysteries of Consciousness on February 15, 2022. In their 2021 New York Times bestseller Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment, Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony, and Cass R. Sunstein remark that “belief in ghosts, astrology, and extrasensory perception” is associated with lower Cognitive Reflection Test scores, implying that belief in […]

    “Beyond Death” interview with The Mystical Underground

    Yesterday, Trish and Rob MacGregor had me back on their podcast The Mystical Underground to talk about my new book, Beyond Death: The Best Evidence for the Survival of Human Consciousness. We talked a lot about apparitions: not just apparitions of the deceased, but also apparitions of living out-of-body experiencers and apparitions of people having […]
