- As we enter the third decade of the 21st century, one longstanding scientific and philosophic controversy can be laid to rest: extrasensory perception, or ESP, is real. We have amassed overwhelming and replicable evidence that renders ESP denialism a position of sentiment rather than science. In his presentation at Hereticon in Miami Beach on January 12, 2022, PEN Award-winning historian Mitch Horowitz describes the facts around ESP research-and explores why our intellectual culture has been temporarily deterred from accepting them. Sound-bite skepticism and polemically skewed coverage-especially on Wikipedia-cannot, finally, dispel the excellence and repeatability of decades of academic ESP research. Our generation, Mitch explains, is poised for a breakthrough in understanding.
Special thanks to Michael Solana, VP of Founders Fund, for the invitation and introduction.
Mitch delves further into ESP research in his forthcoming book, Daydream Believer (July 2022): www.amazon.com...
As a scientist who has spent the last 15 years rigorously studying precognition and retrocausal effects in biology, psychology, and now physics -- I have to say I am grateful to Mitch for this talk. It's very frustrating showing the same results over and over again and people just saying, "nope."
Julia that means so much; i am a great admirer of your excellent work. Thank you. -M
@@mitchhorowitz6054 Well, you just made my day, so it's mutual!
Aww!!! 🥰 I LOVED THIS!! 🎉Congratulations 🎊 💜🖖👁
I am one of the Positive Precogs that Dr. Julia Mossbridge has convened online! Thank you SOOOO much for giving this talk!! Bravo!! 👏
@@mitchhorowitz6054 You might get a lot out of this talk I did with my collloaborator at SXSW about precognition and intelligence work. ua-cam.com/video/9jKgaCaAj0o/v-deo.html
Congratulations on your wonderful book with Imant Baruss!
I know, it's been 6 years, but it's still a highlight in my mind because of the APA backing and how it is a succinct overview of the scientific reality of ESP.
As a physicist, I find such a great puzzlement that good experimental data is just sidetracked and obfuscated for the sake of the fact that it cannot be contained in standard theoretical framework of current natural sciences.
A lot of normal science, even "hard natural sciences", is far away from the standards of openness than the best of parapsychology.
It is just so damn frustrating.
And that puzzlement extends to many important events in todays culture around physics and medicine.
Incredible talk. I just discovered this video…I’ve been dreaming and seeing the future my entire life. Predicting deaths of loved ones, important people and moments in my life, deja vu’s…I have years worth of personal accounts. I feel like I’m tapped in, but have never fully went down this rabbit hole. It’s calling me quite loudly now…more than ever before. I’ve repeated some of these ESP tests without even being aware that they’ve been done before and I’ve had similar results.
Is there a way we can get into contact?
Hello
what the hell!? 😂 never in my life I could think of you being here. no offense but this is kinda cool and random at the same time, haha
Unfortunately, ESP is not the only subject that is treated in this way by Wikipedia.
Mr.Horowitz, I am from Ukraine and I can tell you lots of stories from my own experience about ESP. It is my family experience (both from Mother's and Father's side). I don't know why I am writing this exactly, but there is no such thing in our world that would not occur without human egregor or ESP, or whatever people call it. In some cases in can be like a curse for a person to be aware of strange things.
Lots of cases of precognition of phone calls. It is real. Especially, concerning a loved one.
Maybe all of it is experience, but it is too out of statistics.
At the beginning of this summer I was at night shift (though I got 2 diplomas, our countries is weird enough for a person with two University diplomas to work in such a way). The alarm on the phone turned on and I felt something truly bad. So I just went to the shelter. And mystically, the moon was right above the horizon with the reddish color. I even tried to film it. I stayed in shelter even after the air-raid alarm turned off and in the morning at 04.51 we had 3 rockets exploded some 100 meters away from us. I don't know what it is, but it was not an anxiety problem. And this thing is what we should train.
Popular culture may be biased against the existence of ESP, but because there is a part of us which exists outside of linear time, humanity (and, I believe, other animals, such as my cats, who - as my son reported - would start toward the front door of my fourth floor apartment a minute or two before I returned home from work, no matter how irregular the hours) will always experience precognition. Cultural bias is no match for the extraordinary abilities that make us human, and it cannot suppress the experiments or the findings on these phenomena forever.
Cool cats. Rupert Sheldrake wrote a fascinating book about this: Dogs who know when their owners are coming home.
@@tominatorix Yes; there’s also a video on UA-cam which was produced by a German TV crew showing Rupert’s theory in action. Have you seen it? It is amazing. And yes, mine were cool cats. They were littermates, brother and sister, and at 17 years old, died within 5 weeks of each other. Lots of paranormal stuff around that, too, but I don’t want to detract from the topic of Mitch’s talk.
Brilliant! No doubt one of the most important talks on UA-cam about this topic. Well done Mitch.
Excellent review of the topics and a wonderful choice of important events! Nice job, Mitch!
I have such a literary crush on Mitch. Love his books and his presentations.
Maybe the occultists were right, the knowledge is not meant for all. Certainly not for those hell bent on drowning in the misery of their own pretentiousness. Obsessed with keeping themselves and humanity small until someone noteworthy tells them its societally acceptable for them to XYZ. They're just afraid while the rest of us are already flying. Thank you for giving us wings, Mitch.
Fantastic and insightful as usual, Mitch!! Really enjoyed this talk.
Never heard of you before this. Very interesting talk. I have a uni psych level background, so I love my stats and science. At the same time I grew up with abilities... mostly remote viewing. I have described details of missing people, ie, location of evidence, what rooms look like, details of properties, etc, which turned out to be hit after hit. I would like to believe it's all fantasy, that I'm just crazy, but when you can provide very specific details and all of them are hits, it ... well, I'm into stats, how do I account for that. To disbelieve something is going on becomes the greater effort.
I would like to ask something about the zener cards. When I was in my teens, I was able to get my hands on a pack. I would mostly get within chance, but I noticed something peculiar about my guesses. Say I picked circle, it would be a miss, say a square. The next card, I would say a cross and it would be a circle. Etc. It would be very frustrating, it felt like I was predicting one card ahead. I could see a pattern but I didn't know what to make of it...still don't. Wonder if you came across something like this?
That's very interesting. Some parapsychologists study "psi missing" (a below chance effect) or other patterns of the type you reference. I would reach out to the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS). -MH-
Well this was splendid, MItch - many thanks and see you in tomorrow's course!
The speech was brilliant and inspiring as ever.
Great presentation! I will share it. That said I'd like to point out that I miss in it one crucial moment: Stargate, and it's closing report. I think 20-billion-dollar funding during 20+ years by itself is a sufficient reason to include the story in such a good presentation about the power of censorship. Anyways, well done!
I write about Stargate--albeit too briefly--in an extensive chapter on parapsychology in this forthcoming book: www.amazon.com/Daydream-Believer-Unlocking-Ultimate-Power-ebook/dp/B09B82N18S/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
Omg -- Hereticon, what a fantastic idea. Love Mitch!!
Great job Mitch! Great stuff here.
M.H. ..................your the reason I'm a subscriber............heavy on science then the facts !!!!!!
As an experiencer of anomalous cognition and someone who has validated it in my own life, I can attest to the reality of ESP. Mitch's talk was at once excellent and a little depressing. Think how humanity will change once the truth of ESP is accepted by academia. If ESP, then what are the implications for how I curate my thoughts?
When a new phenomenon, or disease, is found, scientists will listen to the people about their experience, how they feel, what are their perceived symptons, etc... They will also run tests with the same goal in mind, but increased reliability of the information. Then they will notice patterns, and these patterns will inspire then into thinking of possible experiments, explanations and solutions. With ESP it should be the same. Listen to the people. Run tests. Notice patterns. Use these patterns to plan how you will aproach the subject.
@@HarryPotter-kb7we it's our nature to look into things so I agree
Yes…. Another great expression from MH ….♥️✨♥️makes sense to me
Watched the talk and greatly appreciated it. But it's probably just going to preach to the choir. The next question is to understand: what is the cause of irrational resistance to claims of the paranormal?
Most people I believe are neutral or unemotional to the subject and will go on with the rest of their day five minutes later after hearing the information. But then there are those that will not have it and they are too often leading academics.
If even I, that have experienced and confirmed precognition in my life, am extremely skeptical when other people tell me their experiences and about other kinds of ESP, what to say of people who never experienced it themselves ?
Great talk! Thank you.
I’ve had esp proved to me several times in my life, most notably when I had a dream of an old friend coming up to me excited saying He just had a baby boy. I had lost contact with him for years and did not know he was in a relationship. I never thought about him. I was living in a different country and when I spoke to my mother a few days later she announced his girlfriend had just had a baby boy. That day the case was closed for me.
This is not proof. It’s anecdotal evidence.
@@Catmaster3001 Anecdote is where it starts. If enough people provide anecdotal evidence to a phenomenon it will be considered truth.
Fantastic and engaging! Thank you, Mitch!
Keep it up great work
This talk has wide reaching implications regarding the fractured state of medical research today right now, as corporate might is directing a powerful narrative that generally ends in censorship.
That occurs to me sometimes as well. So much of the buzz around us is generated by corporate powers-that-be, and one wonders why the obstinate resistance to the idea that we are more than consumers.
I was thinking along these lines my self. science in general is in danger
so rad
Any plans for other clips or talks from the Hereticon event?
The field of psichology needs a theory of the matter yielding to the mind. Once that theory is up, things can go as physics…..
I've never heard anyone but Ingo Swann say, "Point up" instead of "Point out." People should do this more.
Ganzfeld is a compound word consisting of "ganz" - entire(ly), whole(lly) - and "feld" - "field". Not open though, or only very loosely. Another way to translate it would be "all encompassing field". I'm sort of a language nerd, please forgive me. :D
May I get a copy of the sources of these studies?
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
ha ha. i put in reddit physics a question about how my sliding light switch could physically move up on its own (personally saw it happen 5x over 4 years)and they removed the question for violation of terms. like, come on dude, that IS a physics question in every sense of the word. what force within the quantum field (5 forces of nature are weak nuclear, strong nuclear, electromagnetic [i think consciousness is definitely encapsulated by electromagnetic spectrum], gravity, higgs field) could have done that. Nope, persecuted.
Now you can cash in on James Randi's challenge! A cool million!
Exactly! I can't wait to see all of this reproducible evidence that will surely be arriving soon!
ESP is real but why is ESP not a brain phenomenon like " AP / OBE " ? Thanks . Anando.
What makes you so sure AP/OBE are '"brain" phenomena?
@@addidy94 considering most methods for ap/obe is to disassociate consciousness from being inside your head or your body, it's odd to think it's a brain phenomenon.
Alright, I thought of eating chocolate 🍫. Guess what brand occured in my mind. Any psychic?
One up
Apparently everyone in the comments can become millionaires by contacting the james randi foundation and proving ESP is real.
James Randi is has a 1 million dollar award for whoever can prove they have any psychic powers...no one has claimed the prize yet
Sorry to bust your bubble its not real and never been proven.
real fake
Mitch you’re a great ambassador. But I’m struck by your ego.
Not at all convincing. If this is the best evidence, forget it.
How about providing an actual valid argument against the evidence presented? Saying "I'm not convinced, therefore it's not true" is not a strong argument.
@@sammybastidas4304 That's absurd. No significant evidence was presented. There may be an effect, but they're going at it using antiquated techniques. Sorry, I'm too busy to waste time in correspondence.
Keep denying reality
Don't ruin their daydream. As someone who used to believe this nonsense, trust me, evidence of existence/non-existence does not matter. Belief in the paranormal is a belief system. They WANT it to be real, so anybody vaguely intelligent who claims it is, will be held up in high regard. And likewise, if someone claimed the opposite, and had better evidence to back it up - it wouldn't matter. You just have to agree to be accepted, reality and hard evidence is of no interest to these people. (Confirmation bias)
And before anybody asks me for evidence, no - you are making the claim that ESP is real - so YOU back it up. (Burden of proof)
Every tattoo looks like a trash mark.
