Neuroscientist and physicist Alex Gómez-Marín discusses his fascination with extrasensory perception (ESP) and psychical research. Driven by a near-death experience and a desire to explore the boundaries of consciousness, Gómez-Marín investigates how the mind might detach from the physical brain. He argues that psychical research is not pseudoscience, but rather a rigorous field dealing with difficult, anomalous data that challenges our current scientific framework.

Gómez-Marín details his empirical work on phenomena like remote viewing and extraocular vision, where individuals allegedly perceive images or objects without using their physical eyes. He highlights the historical context of these studies, including the U.S. government's Stargate Project, and explains how modern experiments use statistical testing and blind judging to find small but significant evidence of non-local information retrieval.

To rigorously test these claims, Gómez-Marín is currently studying extraocular vision with a blind participant and collaborating with various international schools. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining a delicate balance between healthy skepticism and open-minded inquiry, urging researchers to seek out evidence that could refute their own thinking rather than staying safely within well-known scientific territories.

### Key takeaways

- Psychical research is a serious scientific field that investigates anomalous phenomena where the mind appears to operate independently of the physical brain.
- Extraocular vision and remote viewing suggest that individuals can sometimes retrieve information non-locally without sensory leakage.
- Rigorous statistical testing and blind judging in ESP experiments have shown small but statistically significant evidence of these phenomena.
- Investigating extraocular vision in blind individuals provides a unique, controlled opportunity to test the limits of non-sensory perception.
- Scientists should actively explore the edges of known science and design experiments that challenge and potentially refute their own current thinking.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.960
You<00:00:00.320> must<00:00:00.600> go<00:00:00.920> and<00:00:01.120> research<00:00:02.000> in<00:00:02.160> those<00:00:02.560> areas<00:00:02.960> that<00:00:03.160> would<00:00:03.400> allow<00:00:03.760> yourself<00:00:04.680> to<00:00:04.880> refute<00:00:06.080> your<00:00:06.320> own<00:00:06.560> thinking<00:00:07.640> more<00:00:08.160> quickly.

00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:17.520
So,<00:00:09.520> as<00:00:09.680> a<00:00:09.720> neuroscientist,<00:00:10.400> as<00:00:10.520> a<00:00:10.600> physicist,<00:00:11.080> whatever,<00:00:11.680> I<00:00:11.800> can<00:00:11.920> spend<00:00:12.120> my<00:00:12.280> whole<00:00:12.560> life<00:00:13.240> digging<00:00:13.600> a<00:00:13.720> hole<00:00:14.040> into<00:00:14.280> the<00:00:14.400> well-known<00:00:14.800> territory<00:00:15.920> or<00:00:16.280> bet<00:00:17.280> that

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:23.960
I<00:00:17.600> will<00:00:17.800> explore<00:00:18.400> the<00:00:18.640> edges<00:00:19.800> and<00:00:20.080> if<00:00:20.200> there's<00:00:20.400> a<00:00:20.520> 1%<00:00:21.160> or<00:00:21.280> a<00:00:21.320> 0.111%

00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:38.280
of<00:00:24.280> finding<00:00:24.720> this<00:00:24.960> impossible<00:00:25.880> evidence,<00:00:27.000> it's<00:00:27.320> worth<00:00:27.960> it's<00:00:28.160> worth<00:00:28.480> the<00:00:28.560> effort<00:00:29.120> for<00:00:29.280> the<00:00:29.400> risk.

00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:44.320
Alex,<00:00:39.360> you<00:00:39.520> and<00:00:39.640> I<00:00:39.720> have<00:00:39.840> had<00:00:40.000> a<00:00:40.040> long<00:00:40.520> fascination<00:00:41.480> with<00:00:42.560> psi,<00:00:43.160> ESP.

00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:52.560
I'd<00:00:44.480> like<00:00:44.720> to<00:00:45.080> understand<00:00:45.600> some<00:00:45.760> of<00:00:45.840> the<00:00:45.960> work<00:00:46.320> that<00:00:46.640> you've<00:00:46.880> actually<00:00:47.400> done<00:00:48.280> in<00:00:48.440> the<00:00:48.600> area,<00:00:49.120> particularly<00:00:49.880> with<00:00:50.480> extraocular<00:00:51.320> vision.

00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:58.680
All<00:00:52.760> right.<00:00:53.400> Yeah.<00:00:54.040> ESP,<00:00:54.520> extrasensory<00:00:55.160> perception<00:00:55.720> is<00:00:55.880> intriguing<00:00:56.360> because<00:00:56.760> it's<00:00:57.560> impossible.

00:00:58.680 --> 00:01:03.080
So,<00:00:58.840> that's<00:00:59.120> the<00:00:59.240> first<00:00:59.600> reason<00:00:59.880> why<00:01:00.320> I'm<00:01:01.280> incredibly<00:01:02.080> curious<00:01:02.520> about<00:01:02.920> it.

00:01:03.080 --> 00:01:10.240
The<00:01:03.200> second<00:01:03.720> reason<00:01:04.280> is<00:01:04.600> that<00:01:04.839> I<00:01:05.560> I<00:01:05.680> had<00:01:05.880> a<00:01:05.920> near-death<00:01:06.320> experience<00:01:06.960> and<00:01:07.080> then<00:01:07.240> I<00:01:07.320> became<00:01:07.720> interested<00:01:08.200> in<00:01:08.360> survival<00:01:09.320> research.

00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:19.120
And<00:01:10.440> there<00:01:10.640> I<00:01:10.720> learned<00:01:11.040> that<00:01:11.160> there's<00:01:11.320> a<00:01:11.360> lot<00:01:11.520> of<00:01:11.680> evidence<00:01:12.120> that<00:01:12.280> suggests<00:01:13.120> that<00:01:13.840> what<00:01:14.120> we<00:01:14.240> call<00:01:14.560> mind<00:01:15.440> can<00:01:16.520> or<00:01:16.720> may<00:01:17.080> be<00:01:17.200> able<00:01:17.440> to<00:01:17.960> detach<00:01:18.720> from

00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:21.800
what<00:01:19.320> we<00:01:19.440> call<00:01:20.040> matter<00:01:20.760> or<00:01:21.000> the<00:01:21.120> brain.

00:01:21.800 --> 00:01:26.520
We're<00:01:21.960> being<00:01:22.200> dualistic<00:01:22.840> here<00:01:23.000> in<00:01:23.120> our<00:01:23.320> speaking,<00:01:23.880> but<00:01:24.040> that's<00:01:24.440> our<00:01:25.160> heritage<00:01:25.680> in<00:01:25.800> a<00:01:25.840> way,<00:01:26.160> right?

00:01:26.520 --> 00:01:35.040
Res<00:01:26.760> cogitans<00:01:27.320> and<00:01:27.440> res<00:01:27.600> extensa.<00:01:28.680> Now,<00:01:29.680> you<00:01:29.840> don't<00:01:29.960> need<00:01:30.120> to<00:01:30.240> almost<00:01:30.680> die<00:01:31.720> to<00:01:32.360> perhaps<00:01:32.880> experience<00:01:33.520> this<00:01:33.720> moment<00:01:34.080> where<00:01:34.320> mind<00:01:34.800> can

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:38.840
detach<00:01:35.480> from<00:01:36.160> matter<00:01:37.000> as<00:01:37.160> if<00:01:37.280> it<00:01:37.360> was<00:01:37.560> Velcro,<00:01:38.400> right?

00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:47.400
[Mhm].<00:01:39.160> So,<00:01:39.360> I<00:01:39.480> realized<00:01:39.960> that<00:01:40.640> not<00:01:40.920> only<00:01:41.160> survival<00:01:41.720> research<00:01:42.120> is<00:01:42.320> is<00:01:42.520> crucial<00:01:43.000> to<00:01:43.200> ask<00:01:43.480> this<00:01:43.680> question<00:01:44.040> about<00:01:44.320> consciousness<00:01:45.520> and<00:01:45.760> matter,<00:01:46.400> but<00:01:46.560> also<00:01:47.120> things

00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:55.480
that<00:01:47.560> happen<00:01:47.920> in<00:01:48.040> our<00:01:48.520> everyday<00:01:48.880> life<00:01:49.200> where<00:01:49.440> maybe<00:01:50.200> the<00:01:50.320> mind<00:01:51.320> detached<00:01:52.160> a<00:01:52.240> little<00:01:52.520> bit<00:01:52.720> from<00:01:53.040> matter<00:01:53.360> using<00:01:53.680> this<00:01:53.880> metaphor<00:01:54.320> again,<00:01:54.720> right?

00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.440
And<00:01:55.680> so,<00:01:55.800> that's<00:01:56.160> that's<00:01:56.440> literally<00:01:56.840> what's<00:01:57.000> called<00:01:57.440> uh<00:01:57.520> psychical<00:01:58.240> research.

00:01:59.440 --> 00:02:08.240
And<00:02:00.000> I<00:02:00.040> didn't<00:02:00.240> know<00:02:00.480> anything<00:02:00.880> about<00:02:01.200> it,<00:02:01.640> but<00:02:01.800> I<00:02:01.840> discovered<00:02:02.280> that<00:02:02.480> there's<00:02:03.120> a<00:02:03.200> community<00:02:03.800> studying<00:02:04.200> it,<00:02:04.440> journals<00:02:04.920> publishing,<00:02:05.560> senior<00:02:06.360> respected<00:02:07.360> um<00:02:07.520> researchers

00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:11.959
doing<00:02:08.600> it.<00:02:09.080> And<00:02:09.240> so<00:02:09.920> I<00:02:10.000> realized<00:02:10.759> it's<00:02:10.920> not<00:02:11.120> what<00:02:11.240> they've<00:02:11.520> told<00:02:11.800> us.

00:02:11.959 --> 00:02:17.920
It's<00:02:12.120> not<00:02:12.480> pseudoscience.<00:02:13.360> It's<00:02:13.560> actually<00:02:14.080> a<00:02:14.160> science,<00:02:14.840> but<00:02:15.000> it's<00:02:15.120> a<00:02:15.200> hard<00:02:15.560> science<00:02:16.000> with<00:02:16.240> with<00:02:16.440> very<00:02:16.640> difficult<00:02:17.160> evidence.

00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:27.400
And<00:02:18.160> one<00:02:18.480> aspect<00:02:18.959> of<00:02:19.120> psychical<00:02:19.600> research<00:02:20.040> is<00:02:20.480> indeed<00:02:21.400> extrasensory<00:02:22.040> perception,<00:02:22.600> which<00:02:22.800> is<00:02:23.320> how<00:02:23.760> or<00:02:23.959> whether<00:02:24.800> we<00:02:24.920> could<00:02:25.080> be<00:02:25.800> receiving<00:02:26.640> information

And<00:02:36.080> within<00:02:36.680> ESP,<00:02:37.480> you<00:02:37.600> can<00:02:37.800> double<00:02:38.120> click<00:02:38.800> and<00:02:39.000> there<00:02:39.200> are<00:02:39.240> different<00:02:39.680> phenomena.

00:02:40.200 --> 00:02:43.720
Very<00:02:40.680> well<00:02:40.920> known<00:02:41.360> that<00:02:41.560> I<00:02:41.640> didn't<00:02:41.920> know<00:02:42.080> about<00:02:42.480> is<00:02:42.640> remote<00:02:43.200> viewing.

00:02:43.720 --> 00:02:47.680
There's<00:02:43.920> this<00:02:44.320> Stargate<00:02:45.600> um<00:02:45.840> project<00:02:46.480> in<00:02:46.560> the<00:02:46.680> US.

00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:51.440
I<00:02:47.720> mean<00:02:47.800> it's<00:02:47.959> a<00:02:48.000> long<00:02:49.240> it's<00:02:49.400> a<00:02:49.440> long<00:02:49.720> and<00:02:50.080> and<00:02:50.280> and<00:02:50.480> rich<00:02:50.760> bulk<00:02:51.000> of<00:02:51.160> work.

00:02:51.440 --> 00:02:58.240

you<00:02:58.320> need<00:02:58.480> to<00:02:58.560> see<00:02:58.720> what<00:02:58.840> there's<00:02:59.360> Is<00:02:59.519> there<00:02:59.760> any<00:03:00.560> any<00:03:00.920> evidence<00:03:01.360> that<00:03:01.519> I<00:03:01.600> can<00:03:02.000> see<00:03:02.280> with<00:03:02.480> my<00:03:02.760> own<00:03:03.160> scientific<00:03:03.720> eyes?

00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.760
It's<00:03:15.840> called<00:03:16.120> mind's<00:03:16.519> eye.<00:03:17.360> But<00:03:17.480> the<00:03:17.600> idea<00:03:17.800> is<00:03:17.920> similar.

00:03:18.760 --> 00:03:27.080
People,<00:03:19.560> us,<00:03:20.680> sometimes<00:03:21.519> allegedly<00:03:22.680> can<00:03:23.360> perceive<00:03:24.480> images<00:03:25.160> that<00:03:25.320> may<00:03:25.440> be<00:03:25.560> in<00:03:25.680> envelopes<00:03:26.360> or<00:03:26.560> objects<00:03:26.959> in

00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:35.720
a<00:03:27.160> room<00:03:27.680> or<00:03:27.800> in<00:03:27.920> a<00:03:28.000> room<00:03:28.280> next<00:03:28.560> door<00:03:28.880> or<00:03:29.000> things<00:03:29.200> that<00:03:29.360> are<00:03:29.480> hidden<00:03:30.280> in<00:03:30.440> a<00:03:30.519> way<00:03:30.720> that<00:03:30.959> our<00:03:31.160> five<00:03:31.600> senses<00:03:32.800> um<00:03:33.360> could<00:03:33.519> not<00:03:33.640> explain<00:03:34.000> because<00:03:34.280> they're<00:03:34.480> hopefully<00:03:35.400> shut

00:03:35.720 --> 00:03:38.239
down.<00:03:36.000> There's<00:03:36.239> no<00:03:36.400> sensory<00:03:36.880> leakage,<00:03:37.519> right?

00:03:38.239 --> 00:03:47.000
And<00:03:38.400> so<00:03:39.640> again,<00:03:39.920> this<00:03:40.080> is<00:03:40.239> this<00:03:40.440> is<00:03:40.800> impossible<00:03:41.680> according<00:03:42.080> to<00:03:42.239> some<00:03:42.600> theories,<00:03:43.560> but<00:03:44.000> I've<00:03:45.080> researched<00:03:45.640> myself<00:03:46.200> this<00:03:46.800> and

00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:56.320
I've<00:03:47.280> read<00:03:47.760> other<00:03:48.400> serious<00:03:48.800> papers,<00:03:49.600> and<00:03:50.560> Robert,<00:03:50.920> there<00:03:51.160> seems<00:03:51.600> to<00:03:51.720> be<00:03:52.000> evidence<00:03:52.800> where<00:03:53.400> people<00:03:53.720> can<00:03:54.000> pick<00:03:54.360> up<00:03:55.200> information

00:03:56.320 --> 00:04:01.120
non-locally.<00:03:57.600> That's<00:03:57.840> why<00:03:58.040> we<00:03:58.200> may<00:03:58.360> want<00:03:58.640> to<00:03:58.760> refer<00:03:59.080> to<00:03:59.200> quantum,<00:03:59.600> but<00:03:59.720> we<00:03:59.840> don't<00:04:00.200> need<00:04:00.440> to.

00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:08.280
Non-locally<00:04:01.840> in<00:04:02.080> space,<00:04:02.680> meaning<00:04:03.360> there's<00:04:03.560> some<00:04:03.880> envelopes,<00:04:04.520> they're<00:04:04.720> shuffled,<00:04:05.320> you<00:04:05.480> ask<00:04:05.760> people<00:04:06.120> to<00:04:06.360> draw<00:04:07.400> what<00:04:07.600> comes<00:04:07.880> to<00:04:08.000> mind.

00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.280
There's<00:04:08.480> a<00:04:08.560> whole<00:04:08.880> practice<00:04:09.440> of<00:04:09.560> how<00:04:09.720> you<00:04:09.840> may<00:04:10.000> receive<00:04:10.440> that<00:04:10.600> information.

00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:19.840
I<00:04:11.400> think<00:04:11.680> of<00:04:11.840> it<00:04:11.959> as<00:04:12.160> a<00:04:13.080> as<00:04:13.280> as<00:04:13.480> the<00:04:13.760> the<00:04:13.959> the<00:04:14.160> river<00:04:15.280> the<00:04:15.400> river<00:04:16.160> of<00:04:16.519> mind<00:04:17.079> bifurcates<00:04:17.760> into<00:04:18.040> five<00:04:18.480> rivers,<00:04:18.799> which<00:04:19.000> are<00:04:19.079> the<00:04:19.200> five<00:04:19.480> senses.

00:04:19.840 --> 00:04:23.919
But<00:04:20.000> if<00:04:20.120> you<00:04:20.239> go<00:04:20.720> upwards,<00:04:21.200> if<00:04:21.320> you<00:04:21.440> swim<00:04:21.840> upwards<00:04:22.280> like<00:04:22.480> a<00:04:22.520> salmon,<00:04:23.400> [Mhm].

00:04:23.919 --> 00:04:30.640
there's<00:04:24.080> this<00:04:24.240> synesthetic<00:04:25.040> effect,<00:04:26.000> and<00:04:26.240> then<00:04:27.360> I've<00:04:27.600> seen<00:04:27.840> it<00:04:28.160> and<00:04:28.320> I've<00:04:28.440> experienced<00:04:28.800> it<00:04:28.960> a<00:04:29.000> little<00:04:29.280> bit<00:04:29.640> myself.

00:04:30.640 --> 00:04:33.400
Um<00:04:31.360> you<00:04:31.680> may<00:04:31.840> be<00:04:31.919> able<00:04:32.080> to<00:04:32.240> pull<00:04:32.480> down<00:04:32.760> information.

00:04:33.400 --> 00:04:37.320
And<00:04:33.640> this,<00:04:33.919> by<00:04:34.080> the<00:04:34.240> way,<00:04:34.360> it's<00:04:34.520> not<00:04:34.720> just<00:04:35.240> um<00:04:35.919> here<00:04:36.640> hand-waving.

00:04:37.320 --> 00:04:41.600
This<00:04:37.520> then<00:04:37.720> is<00:04:37.960> scored<00:04:38.919> with<00:04:39.160> judges,<00:04:39.800> and<00:04:39.919> it's<00:04:40.080> statistically<00:04:40.760> tested.

00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:48.200
And<00:04:41.800> they're<00:04:42.000> small,<00:04:43.520> but<00:04:43.960> significant<00:04:45.360> statistical<00:04:46.360> evidence<00:04:46.960> that<00:04:47.160> these<00:04:47.320> things<00:04:47.600> are<00:04:47.760> happening.

00:04:48.200 --> 00:04:52.880
So,<00:04:49.120> I<00:04:49.160> can<00:04:49.280> say<00:04:49.360> more<00:04:49.520> about<00:04:49.720> this,<00:04:50.000> but<00:04:50.200> this<00:04:50.400> is<00:04:51.200> terribly<00:04:52.000> interesting.

00:04:52.880 --> 00:05:02.040
This<00:04:53.080> is<00:04:53.240> what<00:04:53.600> Richard<00:04:54.000> Feynman<00:04:54.720> said<00:04:55.040> to<00:04:55.200> us,<00:04:55.760> "You<00:04:55.960> must<00:04:56.280> go<00:04:56.560> and<00:04:56.800> research<00:04:57.720> in<00:04:57.880> those<00:04:58.240> areas<00:04:58.640> that<00:04:58.880> would<00:04:59.080> allow<00:04:59.400> yourself<00:05:00.360> to<00:05:00.560> refute<00:05:01.840> your

Um<00:06:01.080> Although<00:06:01.480> Although<00:06:01.880> it's<00:06:02.040> very<00:06:02.240> problematic,<00:06:02.880> because<00:06:03.160> the<00:06:03.400> the<00:06:03.520> way<00:06:03.720> it<00:06:03.840> has<00:06:04.000> been<00:06:04.120> done<00:06:04.440> it's<00:06:04.640> not<00:06:04.840> properly<00:06:05.280> scientific,<00:06:05.960> typically.

00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:12.600
And<00:06:06.880> so,<00:06:07.360> you're<00:06:07.480> never<00:06:07.760> really<00:06:07.960> sure<00:06:08.600> that<00:06:08.760> they're<00:06:09.000> not<00:06:09.800> um<00:06:10.240> peeking<00:06:10.760> through<00:06:10.960> the<00:06:11.080> blindfold,<00:06:11.640> as<00:06:11.760> the<00:06:11.840> skeptics<00:06:12.280> would<00:06:12.440> say.

00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:16.720
So<00:06:13.080> So,<00:06:13.240> I'm<00:06:13.400> studying<00:06:13.680> this<00:06:13.840> phenomena.<00:06:15.040> And<00:06:15.360> other<00:06:15.600> people<00:06:16.000> can<00:06:16.200> also<00:06:16.440> do<00:06:16.600> it.

00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:21.680
And<00:06:16.840> in<00:06:16.960> particular,<00:06:17.600> I've<00:06:17.760> been<00:06:18.200> I've<00:06:18.360> made<00:06:18.680> made<00:06:18.880> friends<00:06:19.240> and<00:06:19.400> work<00:06:19.640> with<00:06:19.800> a<00:06:19.880> blind<00:06:20.520> person.

00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:30.560
And<00:06:21.760> so,<00:06:21.919> what<00:06:22.040> we're<00:06:22.160> trying<00:06:22.440> to<00:06:22.520> do<00:06:22.680> is<00:06:22.840> the<00:06:22.960> impossible.<00:06:23.720> He's<00:06:23.880> trying<00:06:24.240> to<00:06:24.400> describe<00:06:26.120> images,<00:06:27.200> objects<00:06:28.280> that<00:06:28.560> are<00:06:29.120> properly<00:06:29.560> controlled,<00:06:30.120> properly

00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.640
shuffled,<00:06:31.440> and<00:06:31.640> then<00:06:31.919> and<00:06:32.080> then<00:06:32.240> we<00:06:32.320> see<00:06:32.480> what's<00:06:32.640> the<00:06:32.720> success<00:06:33.280> rate.

00:06:33.640 --> 00:06:38.919
And<00:06:33.800> also,<00:06:34.040> we<00:06:34.160> attend<00:06:34.440> to<00:06:34.560> the<00:06:34.680> phenomenology<00:06:35.520> of<00:06:35.640> how<00:06:35.800> that<00:06:36.120> person<00:06:37.080> describes<00:06:38.000> what<00:06:38.240> he's<00:06:38.440> seeing.

00:06:38.919 --> 00:06:44.360
And<00:06:39.160> we've<00:06:39.360> also<00:06:39.800> contacted<00:06:40.800> the<00:06:40.919> many<00:06:41.120> different<00:06:41.480> schools<00:06:42.440> that<00:06:42.560> exist<00:06:42.960> in<00:06:43.040> the<00:06:43.160> world,<00:06:43.440> and<00:06:43.560> they're<00:06:43.760> all<00:06:43.919> different.

00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:51.320
There<00:06:44.480> are<00:06:44.520> schools<00:06:44.840> in<00:06:44.919> the<00:06:45.000> United<00:06:45.440> States.<00:06:45.960> There<00:06:46.080> are<00:06:46.120> places<00:06:46.520> in<00:06:46.760> India<00:06:47.200> when<00:06:47.480> when<00:06:47.760> they<00:06:47.919> teach<00:06:48.280> and<00:06:48.400> they<00:06:48.480> have<00:06:48.640> been<00:06:48.800> teaching<00:06:49.160> this<00:06:49.320> to<00:06:49.440> kids<00:06:50.240> forever.

00:06:51.320 --> 00:06:59.720
So,<00:06:51.760> it's<00:06:52.000> it's<00:06:52.280> it's<00:06:52.520> a<00:06:52.600> rich<00:06:52.880> phenomenon,<00:06:53.480> but<00:06:53.640> it's<00:06:53.919> it's<00:06:54.360> Robert,<00:06:54.680> it's<00:06:54.880> a<00:06:54.960> very<00:06:56.000> difficult<00:06:56.560> edge<00:06:56.960> between<00:06:57.720> doubt<00:06:58.480> and<00:06:58.640> belief,<00:06:59.440> because

00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:04.040
you<00:06:59.800> must<00:06:59.960> be<00:07:00.400> hardly<00:07:00.840> skeptical<00:07:01.640> about<00:07:02.440> this<00:07:02.640> ability.

00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:07.520
But<00:07:04.280> then,<00:07:04.560> some<00:07:04.919> people<00:07:05.120> are<00:07:05.200> so<00:07:05.360> skeptical<00:07:05.760> that<00:07:05.919> they<00:07:06.160> they<00:07:06.360> won't<00:07:06.560> even<00:07:06.760> look<00:07:06.960> at<00:07:07.080> it.

00:07:07.520 --> 00:07:11.200
But<00:07:07.680> then,<00:07:07.960> my<00:07:08.360> my<00:07:08.600> experience<00:07:09.120> also<00:07:09.360> is<00:07:09.480> working<00:07:09.919> with<00:07:10.120> those<00:07:10.360> who<00:07:10.520> believe<00:07:10.880> it<00:07:11.000> is.

00:07:11.200 --> 00:07:19.480
The<00:07:11.320> moment<00:07:11.640> you<00:07:11.800> ask<00:07:12.080> them<00:07:12.280> to<00:07:13.120> crank<00:07:13.680> up,<00:07:14.160> ramp<00:07:14.600> up<00:07:14.840> their<00:07:15.040> controls,<00:07:16.160> then<00:07:16.360> of<00:07:16.480> course<00:07:16.640> they<00:07:16.760> come<00:07:17.280> with<00:07:17.520> all<00:07:17.640> sorts<00:07:17.919> of<00:07:18.040> excuses<00:07:18.680> as<00:07:18.800> to<00:07:18.919> why<00:07:19.120> this<00:07:19.320> is

00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:28.080
not<00:07:19.680> possible.<00:07:20.080> So,<00:07:20.760> I'm<00:07:20.919> trying<00:07:21.200> to<00:07:21.360> find<00:07:21.800> here<00:07:22.040> the<00:07:22.400> the<00:07:23.080> the<00:07:23.200> black<00:07:23.560> swan,<00:07:24.320> or<00:07:24.640> you<00:07:24.720> know,<00:07:25.560> the<00:07:25.680> this<00:07:25.919> one<00:07:26.240> person,<00:07:26.760> or<00:07:26.880> maybe<00:07:27.120> statistically,<00:07:27.919> these

00:07:28.080 --> 00:07:31.160
are<00:07:28.200> two<00:07:28.400> roots.<00:07:28.880> That's<00:07:29.080> why<00:07:29.160> I'm<00:07:29.280> working<00:07:29.560> with<00:07:29.720> this<00:07:29.919> blind<00:07:30.480> person.

00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:39.240
But<00:07:31.280> also,<00:07:31.600> we<00:07:31.760> have<00:07:32.000> a<00:07:32.080> sort<00:07:32.280> of<00:07:32.360> a<00:07:32.480> campaign<00:07:33.720> to<00:07:33.880> tell<00:07:34.160> people,<00:07:34.560> if<00:07:34.760> you<00:07:34.880> think<00:07:35.040> you<00:07:35.160> have<00:07:35.320> this<00:07:35.440> ability<00:07:35.960> and<00:07:36.120> you're<00:07:36.360> willing<00:07:36.720> to<00:07:36.840> practice<00:07:37.360> it<00:07:37.880> and<00:07:38.080> be<00:07:38.200> tested,<00:07:39.080> we
