🎙️ Facilitated Communication, Telepathy, and the Boundaries of Reality – The Deeper Thinking Podcast

The debate over Facilitated Communication (FC) and the claims made in The Telepathy Tapes is more than a scientific controversy—it is a profound exploration of knowledge, belief, and the limits of human cognition. Does FC truly allow non-speaking individuals to communicate, or is it an illusion shaped by facilitators? Does The Telepathy Tapes expose a hidden dimension of human consciousness, or is it promoting pseudoscience?

In this episode, we break down the philosophical, ethical, and scientific tensions surrounding these claims. From William James’ pragmatic theory of truth to Karl Popper’s falsifiability criterion, from Foucault’s power-knowledge dynamics to Kuhn’s paradigm shifts, we examine how science determines truth, who controls the boundaries of knowledge, and whether belief in the unseen is ever justified.

This discussion is not just about communication—it is about the fundamental nature of reality itself.
