[00:00:00] Alex Tsakiris: On this episode of skeptiko an anniversary show. With some very special guests.

[00:00:09] Al Borealis: welcome to skeptical where we explore controversial science and spirituality There’s Al Borealis from forum Borealis who sprung this surprise party on me.

[00:00:24] Rupert Sheldrake: I feel that Alex’s interviews went in greater depth than almost any others in this area

[00:00:30] Alex Tsakiris: There’s the incredible Rupert Sheldrake.

Who plays an important part in the origin story of skeptiko. you’ll hear more from him in just a minute.

And you’ll also hear from some other friends I’ve met along the way. Here’s Greg Carlwood from higher side chats.

[00:00:49] Greg Carlwood: And if a person is not going to factor consciousness into their scientific work or their model of reality, then of what value is it really just as any true analysis of power or historic events or business has to factor in conspiracy or it’s probably grossly inaccurate. Well, you hold people to these points with extreme consistency.

And it’s a beautiful thing.

[00:01:13] Alex Tsakiris: Uh, that’s a good one. . And here’s Gordon White from rune soup.

[00:01:18] Gordon White: I don’t remember when or how I found skeptical, but it was about a decade ago. Alex’s voice and his quest, uh, and his continuous seeking were just eyeopening and wonderful

[00:01:34] Alex Tsakiris: And here’s Darren and Graham from Grimerica.

(—–)

[00:01:37] Darren: Hey Alex, coming at you from grime America, Darren and Graham just wanted to wish you a happy 50th anniversary,

[00:01:45] Graham: yeah. Thanks Alex. I mean, he’s been so helpful for us, Aaron. I mean, he’s been great. , he was one of those guys that gave us a chance and supported us along the way.

[00:01:52] Alex Tsakiris: And then just, when you think you’re listening to a good old four hour. Yes. It’s four hours. Anniversary show. A fight breaks out in the bathroom.

[00:02:05] Alex Tsakiris: I can’t let go of this, Miguel. I can’t let go of mature.

What’s who’s been on your show. 

[00:02:09] Miguel Conner: Yeah, I have faith in Mitch. He’s a, he’s a, he’s a good guy.

[00:02:14] Alex Tsakiris: I’m going to have more to say about that clip in a minute as well.

But I first want to say how thankful I am . To Al Borealis from forum Borealis for putting this together, I never would have done something like this. And I don’t know how many people will be interested in listening to four hours of it, but it was a really, really special treat and a special honor to go back and walk through this skeptical project that I’ve been on.

So before we get to the show that L’s put together, I wanted to just make a couple of points about the Rupert Sheldrake clip and the Miguel Connor clip, because.

In true anniversary fashion, if you’re going to have two clips that provided kind of bookends to what the show’s all about. Those would be yet. I mean. In Rupert’s clip, he talks a lot about the whole thing we did way back in the day with Richard Wiseman, where we had this intense, scientific debate.

With Wiseman and these other skeptics that just expose these people.
