Episode 109 – Children, Ontology & Extraordinary Experience with Dr Donna Thomas


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Donna Thomas, whose research explores children’s extraordinary and so-called “extrasensory” experiences.

We discuss:

  • The unexamined materialist assumptions embedded in social science

  • What we mean by “self,” “identity,” and “subjectivity”

  • Children’s reports of unusual experiences

  • Whether physicalist models have sufficient explanatory power

  • Why certain forms of experience are dismissed before being examined

    This is not a conversation about belief. It’s a discussion about explanatory frameworks and intellectual honesty.
