Distinguished Thinkers

[poliphilo]

The Daily Mail has asked a collection of "distinguished thinkers"- including A.C. Grayling- a man whose hair is even sillier than Donald Trump's (sorry but I couldn't resist the cheap shot) to give us their thoughts on Life after Death- and not one of them so much as glances at the evidence for survival- which annoys me no end. The evidence is copious and comes from multiple sources- from the spiritualists, the parapsychologists, from people who have had NDEs, from visionaries like Swedenborg, from channelers and so on. Surely if your distinguished thinking is going to be anything but superficial you might want to look at the literature of the subject- even if only to debunk and dismiss it?

There's a guy called Brian Josephson who's a respected physicist who is definitely sceptical about the sceptics - he gets mocked and dismissed a lot but he seems to be talking sense.

That's a new name to me. I must look him up.
