| Why it’s on the list | Dean Radin’s argument that phenomena traditionally filed under magic — intention affecting matter, precognition — are what a science that took consciousness as fundamental would study, and that parapsychology’s own data already supports them. A genuinely contested book: its claims sit outside scientific consensus and the meta-analyses it relies on are disputed. |
Where I heard about it
- Packy McCormick — on his “Some of my favorite books from 2024” thread (December 2024), archived at Some of my favorite books… (tweet). It’s the outlier on a list that is otherwise business history and biography, and the quote he chose is the mild version of the thesis: that consciousness is becoming acceptable to discuss within science.
