@@poweroftruth9258 I am not sure if you understand the origin of Luke, or Paul, who wrote the book of Romans. Luke was Paul`s physician and never saw or heard Jesus speak. Paul is the same, in that he never encountered Jesus in the flesh. You are repeating second hand information, that suits what you want to say. More so, you are trying to coerce others to believe as you do through manipulation of their emotion, or possible uncertainty of what it means to be alive.
@@poweroftruth9258 You do know that the original disciples of Jesus kicked Paul out, precisely because he was not preaching what Jesus taught, don`t you? It is easy to over look things when the power of belief is so strong.
I love your debunking videos. I came out of being raised with mysticism/magical thinking and found it damaging to my life. I left but it’s so helpful to hear it explained rationally and articulate what makes people vulnerable to these beliefs, etc.
@@ZENMASTERME1 The person you replied to grew in this yet left mysticism, I was raised Evangelical and I left, I know plenty of people who left bs religious stuff, so yeah, it is futile if you don't even give it a shot...

Indeed, I once saw an IG post in my feed back when I got more New Age content that stated something along the lines of, "Once you are awakened, you will remain awakened for all eternity." So much for that! 😂
unfortunately for you, actual researchers are developing the concept that consciousness itself might be the real reality of the universe . hell, even the standard model in physics is being refuted now
Prof. Dave great discussion, enjoyed it very much. Found it profound, insightful and most elucidating. Offers a nice window into your channels philosophy and goals, plus your affirmative desire to educate and inform people about the empirical world and steer them away from pseudoscience and false prophets, Bravo! 👏
Glad I paid attention and did well in science as little as I did, I know that it’s peer reviewed and wide-open and like Dave said in another video it’s a body of work. I’m with Dave.
It actually gives me a little optimism to realize science communication as a field is growing so much, thanks for pointing that out! The degree of scientific illiteracy in the average adult is really worrisome to me, and I hope that changes as pop sci media improves with the current generation of sci-com grads entering the field.
Dude your doing great. I watch your work for entertainment, but I do like to come back and take in again what you have to say about science, and the spice you add to it lol even tho it’s very little. IMPACTFUL though Lolol. Love the content
I gotta give Prof. Dave a lot of credit... Listening to this guy try to explain things and express himself gave me a ligit headache... But he handled it in the most diplomatic, coherent way... So true to character... I hope to develop that ability in my life... Dave... You are so patient and confident... You're an amazing role model to so many people ... Holy mother of jiblee
Yeah this guy made me cringe a lot as he struggled to articulate himself at times. Dave handled it well enough to keep me engaged. The interviewer probably just needs practice in public speaking. He also may have just been nervous.
Thank you for taking your time to educate people especially in the realms of "Quantum Mysticism, Cults and Spirituality". I really hate when I watch and hear these charlatans (e.g. Deepak Chopra) when they misused the terms "Energy, Universe or Quantum" and use them in word salads to scam ignorant people with little to no education for the purpose of enriching themselves.
@@CornfordYT Prime example would be is that Deepak Chopra says that the universe is consciousness; which is not true, the term consciousness is a philosophical term that means basically awareness of existence internally and externally.
@@silvermane5695 who are you to say if the universe is or isn’t conscious ? that’s still a working theory in the scientific field so who do you think you are to claim what everything definitively isn’t ?
Seek out Dr Joe dispenza. He's actually scientifically proving the things that were once seen as spiritual quackery. In other words quantum mysticism is now being proven through scientific studies of Dr Joe dispenza. And he has plenty of evidence to back it up so I don't want to hear people say he's this or that. A man that can actually provide evidence is a man that has my attention. But this professor in this video, he's got such a big ego that he doesn't even know that he has a cult following because he's a cult leader. Sickening. He's brainwashed by all the propaganda that he learned in college.
I would love to see a Professor Dave explains Laws of Attraction debunked, in reference to specifically good and bad vibrations, and the damage that ideology that some call a "theory" can have on a person who's probably just having a hard time in their life by making things worse for them. I am not sure if such a video exists, I am slowly backtracking through Professor Dave videos and I love them.
Our world is turning out of itself, with society being on a mental, intellectual suicide ride.. unfortunately a desperate soul/mind tends to be naive, gullible, even more likely to be preyed on by conmans, etc... Anyway, I've just got your book 'Is This Wi-Fi Organic?' recently. Happy to read it, helps a lot, along with those illustrations - great work! You're my personal hero, sir. Greetings from Hungary :)
It's really mind blowing that rather than progressing as a civilization, we are actually in someway regressing especially in this day and age where communication can initiated to anyone at a blink of an eye with technology and yet there are still people like flat-earther and conspiracy theorist who thinks nonsensical garbage like 5G towers spreading biological viruses.
@@DarkZerol As with all things, it is far easier to gain power through destroying something powerful rather than be creating something powerful. Information may travel fast but disinformation is reliant on imagination and nothing more. Disinformation never needs verification, doesn't require research, journalism, a lead or an investigation of any kind and as such will always move not only faster, but in far, far greater quantities. A breakthrough in real technology can take decades, a breakthrough in tech that destroys it can be imagined in moments.
In my opinion, people are as stupid, gullible or smart as they ever were, not more or less. However, we created in our minds an expectation that, just because the internet exists and we have all the information at our disposal, that the masses will use it to educate themselves on crucial topics, and that all the uneducated 500 years ago solely lacked such accessible information to be better. This is, evidently, far from the truth. People are preoccupied with their immediate surroundings and the topics that cause an emotional response into them. Nearly nobody will actively pursue the truth especially if faced again and again with concepts that require a few hours, days or years of education to properly understand, before one can proceed with whatever they were inquiring in the first place. Combine that with some uncomfortable truths along the way, and you got a recipe for natural avoidance. The masses are better informed and more educated than ever before in human history, but we have set the bar so high, solely because the internet exists for a few decades, allthewhile ignoring human nature, that we unfairly see our times as a regression. We only see more prominently our negative sides because those usually make for more interesting stories and our system enables some bad actors to profit from misinformation. Nevertheless, I believe that we are better than 500 years ago, if we do not cherry pick. That said, I think that our educational system, globally, needs a complete overhaul. Children need to spend more time in schools, but schools need to be also far more than rigidly structured 45min classes. Schools have to become intellectual community centers with all kinds of educational activities and lots of time for them too, integrating communities and the local socio-economic structures. From the arts, over STEM to physical education. Its alright if a kid fails at a few certain subjects, but at the end, everybody needs to be taught basic critical thinking and the tools needed to enjoy their inherent talents and interests. Moreover, optional and well paid internships need to start sooner, and at the same time we need to prolonge to what year we have mandatory education. This way, we can start gaining industry-relevant experience sooner, but are also able to enter the workforce and the risks accompanied with it later, with more life experience and education. Of course, our economical system also needs to change to accommodate that change in the workforce.
@@DarkZerol It's because you see progress as this linear event who goes up on a smooth trajectory. It's not. I expected this pushback to have happened sooner honnestly, but I was wrong. Time to push that pendulum in the right direction again...
the first few years of my memory are filled with neglect and abuse and Christianity realy helped me recover but part way through recovering i got realy into science and thats when i questioned my faith and became an atheist. I found living my life and doing what i love helped me through my pain more than religion ever did. Sidenote: i found your channel via the debunking content but then stuck around bc of the awsome science vids. Thx for what you do man
I'm an agnostic atheist too. Thanks for sharing your story. I sometimes have seen communities where anti-religion sentiment goes to the extremist side. I like how you are able to express your truth interests and views without any bashing. There really isn't any of that needed, aside of factual and moral criticism.
@@Lecrogea Muslims advanced on science while europe on the dark ages because of a quran verse that tells to use logic, learn the creation of God, and take benefits of it. Atheists are identically on a crisis umbrally, as a result of an utilitarian-materialism, you should that know that atheism religion on the ancient mesapotamians, they do anything they want, and has an extreme naturalistic and hypersex worldview?
@@joiscode3832 Stop being arrogant. Most of scientific progress we gained today is from religious people--Isaac Newton, Andre Marie Ampere, Augustin Fresnel, Augustin Cauchy, Chevalier, etc---you may talk about the atheists scientist; factually their works are not original aka stolen---Einstein plagiarized Lorentz---be sure to look out.
I love the extra math and biology info. Have no idea myself in regards to higher end math/physics. But! I would like to ask as a total curiosity, would it be plausible that density of energy in a region of space/time. Held nearby a moveable region of space/time of relative density. That the space/time between the two regions would act like a seperate region and allow back and forth transfer of the overflow energy states by making a casimir effect. So in a roundabout way. If this was made to have a dynamo in the external regions, and the inbetween region becomes some form of echo chamber for a new energy formation. Casimir effect functions happening at the incredibly small planck lengths and frequency/wavelengths of the incredibly small. But could we expand the inbetween region while keeping it capable of creating a casimir effect but on larger scales? This would be a quantum system that performs on several space/time scales in a way that can have comparatively high output to input. Low waste/loss. But with a source of energy from dynamo breakdown and energy loss, feeding the environment centrally with enough negative energy or pressure that it stays formatted in a way similar to extra dimensional at low physical energy cost to sustain that field/style of environment. Totally new age physics idea and i might be a fruitloop, i also have no idea how to properly describe it, but i feel like it's worth describing that any space time can be infinitely big or small and asking if we could make an environment where we could hold a contained extra dimensional item at least cost energy wise, (wether it's corroded materials or energy used for cooling and magnets) but greatest effect. Controllable scale etc...
Most comments here seem to be about the academic/debunking content in your channel, so I figured I'd throw my two cents. I discovered your channel through the flat earth debunking, and mainly enjoy reading the damaged individuals that comment on your videos. I have a sort of scientific fascination about them. But I also watch some of your more academic material sometimes. My area of knowledge is mostly social sciences (at least I got some basic biology, genetics and, mainly, population genetics), so a huge part of your material is (at least for now) outside of my main interests. But I do find your educational videos very well presented. You come across as one of those grad teachers that get your attention by presenting information in an interesting way. My favorite content was the Mycology series, I loved that one!
Love this content Dave!! After blowing apart the pseudoscience that was causing me so much cognitive dissonance it hurt, you really helped me put the breadth of our knowledge together from our first known milliseconds at the beginning of our universe through solar system formation and biogenesis. I am now studying philosophers and cognitive biases, and assembling my own useful delusions to assist the recovery of my innate spirituality and fundamentally alter my concepts of consciousness. We are the peak in a wave field of at least planetary consciousness to the best of my understanding. Nietzsche was right, thank you for answering his call!!
I first saw your debunks and now I'm about halfway through your classical physics playlist. I never did well as a student other than my ability to take tests. You have me taking notes and learning new math. Thank you
Also how you described your videos is perfect. When reviewing for exams or tests I would watch a video of yours on the topic, and then go through my professors slideshow and it helped me a lot. I’d get the succinct but still sufficient representation of it and then all those main points the details filled in. Extremely helpful, especially since your videos aren’t like 45 minute long lectures but I basically get that much value from them, as long as it’s not completely alone. (If that makes sense lol) PS PRAISE CHEMSITRY JESUS
*Impact of indian philosophy was so hard on the early quantum physicists which included the creator of new quantum mechanics i.e heisenberg and schrodinger and that's how the concept quantum mysticism came into the existence.* I personally believe scientists have right to believe whatever they want but they shouldn't try to add their beliefs with their discoveries.
On the topic of profundity, and attributing meaning in only things that might be divine: I understand this a lot better than most people might. There is some feeling of helplessness there, a sentiment that humanity is, overall, not worth the privilege of dictating our own fate. We must be granted our value by a higher power to have any at all. At least, that's what is implicitly taught in a religious house. That is what is implicitly preached in a religious town. For Christians to give God value, we must strip the value from ourselves. We would call this abusive and manipulative if another human brought us low so that they could stand above us, but because we instead attribute it to God, who is (according to Christians) infallable, unknowable, and eternal, we accept it as a fact without examination... mostly. I did examine this, as I got older, and began to question my faith. I had a period where losing my faith was distressing to the point of physical sickness. I spent a small amount of time believing that nothing had value at all, and I will admit that my mind wandered to dark places. I adopted attitudes of nihilism and misanthropy, despising mankind for contriving a lie to hide the uncomfortable truth that existence is meaningless. And then I realized that this mindset is toxic. Everything has value, especially ourselves, in spite of our culture's best efforts to strip that away from us. We do not need to recieve our worth from a deity, nor must we bestow it on ourselves. We have inherent value, and the right to derive our own meaning from life, as sentient creatures. The irony is that I actually do believe in God. I have heard God speak to me exactly once. That exchange answered no questions for me, but did make something clear: My existence is inconsequential to a God, and a God's opinion of me is inconsequential to me as well. They will go about their existence, and I will continue my life. And nothing about the existence of a God affects my value as a person.
The interesting thing to me about science and religion is the way labels impact or relation to them. If you were to ask a scientist if monsters exist, their proclivities would conjugator up images of Godzilla and King Kong along with vampires and werewolves that they would then dismiss. So you ask them what are some attributes of a monster and they would say they have big teeth, and claws, can see in the dark and are exceptionally strong. And then you wonder at what point a bear, with sharp teeth and claws and exceptional Strank with the ability to smell you from miles away stop becoming a monster simply because we categorized it so neatly as a mammal. What does it matter if you call it up there or a monster, it is still the same thing that will eat you in the dark. And the same thing can be said about your subconscious which is literally a different consciousness that you share your body with it only lets you borrow the wheel of the body at times, and it temps you and bubbles up ideas and thoughts and emotions. And you can call it a ego or a devil and it will change the way you think of it but it is functionally the same thing that you experience. In the wisdom of how Religions tell you to battle that do not change if you call it a devil or an ego. And if you say it your subconscious does not give you any additional control over it and if it was a different entity. Nothing changes but how do you think about it.
The human experience is so colorful and brilliant because we have all of our own routes to knowledge, appreciation and self-love. It's beautiful that we all have our own beliefs and ways to live our lives. Anyone that would be against that is a true asshole with really bad hangups that need to be worked out. However, it gets ugly the second you take those beautiful beliefs and assert them on someone else or use them to say someone else is wrong.
I knew about religion growing up, but my parents always told me that everybody believed it but it wasn't true. They said that I was free to explore religion, and even allowed me to go to church with my neighbors. None of that stuff ever made any sense to me. Sure, everyone at church and my friends said it was real. But my parents sat me down and explained what religion was and why people believe it. God never made sense to me, still doesn't. I guess you have to be indoctrinated to fall for it, because I never once thought that there was a god
It sounds like you had good parents! Unfortunately I think when you don’t have well-educated parents or exposure to science at a young age, you’re more at risk of being swept up by religious dogma.
It's how many ppl "fall" for this stuff, they have been through something traumatic and don't beleive in God so this is the only thing they can grasp that helps them feel any kind of peace. Js
Seriously! We need to be able to cultivate our spirituality and still ground in the reality of of ever evolving science. We let closed minded theologies turn us away from our sacred connection to creation. It's why nature based therapies are so affective across so many aspects of psychological resilience.
To earn the trust of the public I'm afraid that you'll have to take a stance against your own health care system. People who can't afford it often turn around and give in to less expensive yet more harmful woo.

I very much enjoy your channel Dave. I like it all, the educational and the debunking. I'd love if you do more educational stuff about the universe and space. Probably the most interesting as it truly is the last unexplored frontier. Also very interesting your debunk of Kent Hovind, I'm semi religious, but I don't see how alternate ideas about the creation of life is in any way an affront to religion. I think it's lazy to explain things we don't understand by just using God as a stand in. Thanks for the info and evidence, it's good to see bad ideas put down through evidence and explanation.
Sure, no prob, I mean I was raised religious and I still practice that religion, but don't take it as serious as I probably should. Don't practice it that well either.
@@joshx9746 Thanks for sharing. I was raised Catholic, went through a period of questioning where I considered atheism, got more into Catholicism again, went through a period of questioning where I considered atheism, became more of a deist, and now I am some between Catholic/generally spiritual. I have had (and still have) a lot of good times with the church and many people I value so much. However, there are also the scandals, a lot of the Bible is contradictory, and a lot of it is also scientifically/historically false from a literal standpoint. I also have studied science.
36:56 I think what he was trying to ask was if it was possible to correlate the proclaimed visions of past lives with some type of brain event, like hallucinations or things of the such. In my opinion things like that can't really be correlated just because we just don't know, I dont even think there would be a possible way to connect the two.
Have you ever noticed how everybody's past life is one of a handful of mythologized figures relevant to their culture? It is entirely possible people to generate false memories for a variety of reasons, and memories of past lives are all some variation on the more famous stories.
@@joewalsh4713 I see what you mean, since they believe that reincarnation is real their stories are very similar to the reincarnation stories in their respective religious text.
There's no such thing as past lifes, but humans have imagination and manipulatove mind as well, so you can create false memories and believe them to be true remenisin from "other life"
Dave, You should do a video on Dr. Sebi I know very little to what his claims scientifically say, but this feels kinda like a similar topic to self healing and nature vs big pharma. It'd be intesting to see what science if any could back any of the claims to healing all these ailments people claim he did with herbs and nothing else
The issue with New Age spiritualism is that they make claims about the natural world on the backbone of faith. It’s not just Leo, or Jordan from Spirit Science, Universe Inside You creates videos claiming western medicine is a lie and curing yourself with vibrational waves is the true pathway to happiness. Honestly, some secular people have said in the past that New Age Spiritualism isn’t as bad as traditional belief systems, but I seriously disagree, it can be just as harmful if not more so. Look at how Karlyn Borysenko tried to justify what happened to Germany’s people in the 1940s. She just claimed their Souls wanted them to experience and end like that so it was a *good thing* because their souls ordained it. I’ve seen tons of New Agers make this argument to justify pain and suffering. You can use a LOT of that Spirit World logic to justify terrible actions into good things. You would be shocked how many of them interpret suffering like that. In their logic starving kids in Africa deserve what they’re going through because their Soul ‘chose’ that experience, and all they’ll claim is they should meditate more to ‘transcend’ their karmic desire for the samsaric attraction to that kind of suffering. This ain’t too far from from Westboro Baptist Church IMHO… But it’s dangerous because it constantly challenges scientific truths we know about the world and insists on contesting with the information that has evidence. But it is harmful, it denies modern medicine, morality and human compassion for others, and often times it justifies atrocities.
this discussion was really interesting. i really liked it. i think these are really important topics that arent talked about enough. also this video has made me realize how much i enjoy just talking about science and scientific topics. im a 22 year old college student with not much direction in life and was seriously considering dropping out because i couldnt see the point in continuing, but i actually think the topic of science communication may keep me going. still not sure but it definitely sparked true interest, which i had been loosing ever since i started college
Hey dace I'm shortly getting out the navy and ive been un subed following you for like 6 years i have like a month gap and would live to have a chat with you
Huge fan of your work! professor dave I was referencing your channel in a flat earth live YT stream and all the people in the chat were freaking out lol they are hard to convince unless they see things. the breakdown of rationality is alarming but has been going on in a large segment of the population since the dawn of time. I will give a brief testimony of spirituality is that a couple days ago i developed insomia and it wouldnt go away and i prayed fast and repetitive from the heart to jesus rebuking a spirit (I wasnt sure if it was a spirit causing the insomnia it could have been just natural brain chemistry) but after a minute and a half of "prayer" there was a shift in my head where I felt the insomia clearing up it was like a "fog" clearing up really fast and I immediately went to sleep and upon waking up I went to my roommate and I asked him if he could tell a difference and he said I had a noticeable level of energy compared to the last time I talked to him. I feel amazing and back to normal but I'm telling you that the belief in spirituality will never go away even if all religion is removed because there are spirits that give people headaches, insomnia, dreams. and these demons are getting cast out of people in religious ceremonies which can be found on YT. im not trying to have a conversation or anything as its very hard to track spirituality in nature other than peoples experiences (im about to start making videos tracking patterns in history that might help get a better insight on this) but im giving you some information. love the work you do!
Dr Dave is definitely on the far end of materialism. I’m happy to hear him honor personal paths while busting the quacks for the dangerous people they are. I’d like to hear him give a nod to the value of a person accessing certain spiritual pathways they can toward healing as simply taking a pill is often not the answer, but it is all the medical world has come up with for certain issues that may have an entanglement of thought/trauma or who knows what? BTW, absolutely love how his words go together to make sense and love it even more when he simply restates insanity clearly and says, “It’s dumb.” 😂

Haven't done DMT myself.. but wonder if you'd like to try it, Professor Dave.. and give us your trip report then. I mean, people do report some mind-blowing experiences. And Terence McKenna wasn't a complete idiot, he was an excellent wordsmith. He also gave interesting lectures about Carl Jung for example.
A million anecdotes don't amount to a single fact. And McKenna spoke well, but was often factually wrong. I hope we continue funding scientific research on these compounds as we continue our long exit from the Reagan-era doctrines on the subject of psychedelics.

You probably meant Allah? Yeah, you sounds as if you might be Muslim.
ok but dont live to serve your confirmation bias, go learn philosophies or religions and see some other sides of the worlds dice. take the good, leave the bad.
@@anikmonette2140 dont leave the evangelicals but hold on to their discriminations. muslims brought europe out of the dark ages through science based off their beliefs. all the while the church had the same ethnocentrisms you have today.
People who say they know everything, probably don't know much. People who can admit they don't know something, probably know a lot.
At the very least they know some of their limits, and that's at least as important as knowing whatever it is that they do know.
Great discussion. Thanks so much and happy holidays from Iceland!
Here to say you can become an obsessed believer in What the Bleep Do We Know as a young person and still arrive at atheism years later. I wish I had come across your Quantum Mysticsm Debunking vid 15 years ago.
@@reubenmanzo2054 she meant she wishes this video existed 15 years ago when she was into new age
Indeed, I once saw an IG post in my feed back when I got more New Age content that stated something along the lines of, "Once you are awakened, you will remain awakened for all eternity." So much for that! 😂
I strongly identify with this comment lol
Wowwww you're an atheist you have lower birth rates and higher suicide rates and of course you're an evangelical antinatalist now, good job buddy.
unfortunately for you, actual researchers are developing the concept that consciousness itself might be the real reality of the universe . hell, even the standard model in physics is being refuted now
Love all your content.
I refer to it often to educate my older brother who's a science denier.
Just wonted to pop in and show some love. I love your debates Dave and always find your videos very interesting. Got to love facts
Prof. Dave great discussion, enjoyed it very much. Found it profound, insightful and most elucidating. Offers a nice window into your channels philosophy and goals, plus your affirmative desire to educate and inform people about the empirical world and steer them away from pseudoscience and false prophets, Bravo! 👏
Interesting as always
Especially the math in your channel helps me a lot . Very easy to understand! Thank you professor Dave.
Great vid man
I would really like more comprehensive debunking videos about these topics!
I love your debunking videos they the best .
Same
Glad I paid attention and did well in science as little as I did, I know that it’s peer reviewed and wide-open and like Dave said in another video it’s a body of work. I’m with Dave.
Awesome podcast!
This is really interesting!
You’re my favorite science communicator, it’s a refreshing voice you have
Glad you started the debunking stuff Dave. So entertaining and kind of fascinating what people will allow themselves to get brainwashed by.
It actually gives me a little optimism to realize science communication as a field is growing so much, thanks for pointing that out! The degree of scientific illiteracy in the average adult is really worrisome to me, and I hope that changes as pop sci media improves with the current generation of sci-com grads entering the field.
Dude your doing great. I watch your work for entertainment, but I do like to come back and take in again what you have to say about science, and the spice you add to it lol even tho it’s very little. IMPACTFUL though Lolol. Love the content
Really love this
Great job
Heyyyy happy to see your facee
Hey Dave. You are the best!! Keep up the good work!
I gotta give Prof. Dave a lot of credit... Listening to this guy try to explain things and express himself gave me a ligit headache... But he handled it in the most diplomatic, coherent way... So true to character... I hope to develop that ability in my life... Dave... You are so patient and confident... You're an amazing role model to so many people ... Holy mother of jiblee
Yeah this guy made me cringe a lot as he struggled to articulate himself at times. Dave handled it well enough to keep me engaged. The interviewer probably just needs practice in public speaking. He also may have just been nervous.
Love conversations like these. Great discussion.
Thank you for taking your time to educate people especially in the realms of "Quantum Mysticism, Cults and Spirituality". I really hate when I watch and hear these charlatans (e.g. Deepak Chopra) when they misused the terms "Energy, Universe or Quantum" and use them in word salads to scam ignorant people with little to no education for the purpose of enriching themselves.
Can I ask how they misuse the term “universe”. Like how do they describe the universe?
@@CornfordYT Prime example would be is that Deepak Chopra says that the universe is consciousness; which is not true, the term consciousness is a philosophical term that means basically awareness of existence internally and externally.
@@silvermane5695 who are you to say if the universe is or isn’t conscious ? that’s still a working theory in the scientific field so who do you think you are to claim what everything definitively isn’t ?
@@JA-yx9mq You must be another idiotic fan of Deepak Chopra, get out of here!
Seek out Dr Joe dispenza. He's actually scientifically proving the things that were once seen as spiritual quackery. In other words quantum mysticism is now being proven through scientific studies of Dr Joe dispenza. And he has plenty of evidence to back it up so I don't want to hear people say he's this or that. A man that can actually provide evidence is a man that has my attention. But this professor in this video, he's got such a big ego that he doesn't even know that he has a cult following because he's a cult leader. Sickening. He's brainwashed by all the propaganda that he learned in college.
Love your stuff! Could you do a video on ichthyology (fish science)
I watch the tutorials and the debunks, especially physics right now
I would love to see a Professor Dave explains Laws of Attraction debunked, in reference to specifically good and bad vibrations, and the damage that ideology that some call a "theory" can have on a person who's probably just having a hard time in their life by making things worse for them. I am not sure if such a video exists, I am slowly backtracking through Professor Dave videos and I love them.
Check my debunk of quantum mysticism, it's sort of about that stuff.
Professor Dave, could you please do a debunking video of “Sid Roth's It's Supernatural!”?
He is easily the highest guy I've ever seen!
Thanks Professor! Your videos are appreciated...
Our world is turning out of itself, with society being on a mental, intellectual suicide ride.. unfortunately a desperate soul/mind tends to be naive, gullible, even more likely to be preyed on by conmans, etc... Anyway, I've just got your book 'Is This Wi-Fi Organic?' recently. Happy to read it, helps a lot, along with those illustrations - great work! You're my personal hero, sir. Greetings from Hungary :)
It's really mind blowing that rather than progressing as a civilization, we are actually in someway regressing especially in this day and age where communication can initiated to anyone at a blink of an eye with technology and yet there are still people like flat-earther and conspiracy theorist who thinks nonsensical garbage like 5G towers spreading biological viruses.
@@DarkZerol As with all things, it is far easier to gain power through destroying something powerful rather than be creating something powerful.
Information may travel fast but disinformation is reliant on imagination and nothing more.
Disinformation never needs verification, doesn't require research, journalism, a lead or an investigation of any kind and as such will always move not only faster, but in far, far greater quantities.
A breakthrough in real technology can take decades, a breakthrough in tech that destroys it can be imagined in moments.
@@reubenmanzo2054 The title is obviously mocking the modern organic obsession.
In my opinion, people are as stupid, gullible or smart as they ever were, not more or less. However, we created in our minds an expectation that, just because the internet exists and we have all the information at our disposal, that the masses will use it to educate themselves on crucial topics, and that all the uneducated 500 years ago solely lacked such accessible information to be better. This is, evidently, far from the truth.
People are preoccupied with their immediate surroundings and the topics that cause an emotional response into them. Nearly nobody will actively pursue the truth especially if faced again and again with concepts that require a few hours, days or years of education to properly understand, before one can proceed with whatever they were inquiring in the first place. Combine that with some uncomfortable truths along the way, and you got a recipe for natural avoidance.
The masses are better informed and more educated than ever before in human history, but we have set the bar so high, solely because the internet exists for a few decades, allthewhile ignoring human nature, that we unfairly see our times as a regression. We only see more prominently our negative sides because those usually make for more interesting stories and our system enables some bad actors to profit from misinformation. Nevertheless, I believe that we are better than 500 years ago, if we do not cherry pick.
That said, I think that our educational system, globally, needs a complete overhaul. Children need to spend more time in schools, but schools need to be also far more than rigidly structured 45min classes. Schools have to become intellectual community centers with all kinds of educational activities and lots of time for them too, integrating communities and the local socio-economic structures. From the arts, over STEM to physical education. Its alright if a kid fails at a few certain subjects, but at the end, everybody needs to be taught basic critical thinking and the tools needed to enjoy their inherent talents and interests.
Moreover, optional and well paid internships need to start sooner, and at the same time we need to prolonge to what year we have mandatory education.
This way, we can start gaining industry-relevant experience sooner, but are also able to enter the workforce and the risks accompanied with it later, with more life experience and education.
Of course, our economical system also needs to change to accommodate that change in the workforce.
@@DarkZerol It's because you see progress as this linear event who goes up on a smooth trajectory. It's not. I expected this pushback to have happened sooner honnestly, but I was wrong.
Time to push that pendulum in the right direction again...
"I kinda forgot what the actual question was" is a mood
Liked for the shroom tat!
the first few years of my memory are filled with neglect and abuse and Christianity realy helped me recover but part way through recovering i got realy into science and thats when i questioned my faith and became an atheist. I found living my life and doing what i love helped me through my pain more than religion ever did.
Sidenote: i found your channel via the debunking content but then stuck around bc of the awsome science vids. Thx for what you do man
I'm an agnostic atheist too. Thanks for sharing your story. I sometimes have seen communities where anti-religion sentiment goes to the extremist side. I like how you are able to express your truth interests and views without any bashing. There really isn't any of that needed, aside of factual and moral criticism.
@Emre Yeşildağ same. religion limits knowledge and open-minded thinking, thankfully science exists
@@Lecrogea Muslims advanced on science while europe on the dark ages because of a quran verse that tells to use logic, learn the creation of God, and take benefits of it.

@@kirkkirkland7244 cool. Have a nice day
@@joiscode3832 Stop being arrogant. Most of scientific progress we gained today is from religious people--Isaac Newton, Andre Marie Ampere, Augustin Fresnel, Augustin Cauchy, Chevalier, etc---you may talk about the atheists scientist; factually their works are not original aka stolen---Einstein plagiarized Lorentz---be sure to look out.
I love the extra math and biology info. Have no idea myself in regards to higher end math/physics.
But! I would like to ask as a total curiosity, would it be plausible that density of energy in a region of space/time. Held nearby a moveable region of space/time of relative density. That the space/time between the two regions would act like a seperate region and allow back and forth transfer of the overflow energy states by making a casimir effect. So in a roundabout way. If this was made to have a dynamo in the external regions, and the inbetween region becomes some form of echo chamber for a new energy formation. Casimir effect functions happening at the incredibly small planck lengths and frequency/wavelengths of the incredibly small. But could we expand the inbetween region while keeping it capable of creating a casimir effect but on larger scales? This would be a quantum system that performs on several space/time scales in a way that can have comparatively high output to input. Low waste/loss. But with a source of energy from dynamo breakdown and energy loss, feeding the environment centrally with enough negative energy or pressure that it stays formatted in a way similar to extra dimensional at low physical energy cost to sustain that field/style of environment.
Totally new age physics idea and i might be a fruitloop, i also have no idea how to properly describe it, but i feel like it's worth describing that any space time can be infinitely big or small and asking if we could make an environment where we could hold a contained extra dimensional item at least cost energy wise, (wether it's corroded materials or energy used for cooling and magnets) but greatest effect. Controllable scale etc...
Thank you.
Most comments here seem to be about the academic/debunking content in your channel, so I figured I'd throw my two cents. I discovered your channel through the flat earth debunking, and mainly enjoy reading the damaged individuals that comment on your videos. I have a sort of scientific fascination about them. But I also watch some of your more academic material sometimes. My area of knowledge is mostly social sciences (at least I got some basic biology, genetics and, mainly, population genetics), so a huge part of your material is (at least for now) outside of my main interests. But I do find your educational videos very well presented. You come across as one of those grad teachers that get your attention by presenting information in an interesting way.
My favorite content was the Mycology series, I loved that one!
Love this content Dave!! After blowing apart the pseudoscience that was causing me so much cognitive dissonance it hurt, you really helped me put the breadth of our knowledge together from our first known milliseconds at the beginning of our universe through solar system formation and biogenesis. I am now studying philosophers and cognitive biases, and assembling my own useful delusions to assist the recovery of my innate spirituality and fundamentally alter my concepts of consciousness. We are the peak in a wave field of at least planetary consciousness to the best of my understanding.
Nietzsche was right, thank you for answering his call!!
Dave's, still waiting on that sadhguru debunk :)
Me too, and I'm a Isha meditator haha
That delusional retard 😂
i would love a "debunking abrahamic religions" video
can you debunk nofap/semen retention?
I got a gaia advert. Lols.
I first saw your debunks and now I'm about halfway through your classical physics playlist.
I never did well as a student other than my ability to take tests. You have me taking notes and learning new math.
Thank you
Thank you for the informative videos. You really opened my eyes. Does anyone have any good book recommendations on this topic?
Also how you described your videos is perfect. When reviewing for exams or tests I would watch a video of yours on the topic, and then go through my professors slideshow and it helped me a lot. I’d get the succinct but still sufficient representation of it and then all those main points the details filled in. Extremely helpful, especially since your videos aren’t like 45 minute long lectures but I basically get that much value from them, as long as it’s not completely alone. (If that makes sense lol)
PS PRAISE CHEMSITRY JESUS
Thanks again Professor Dave! Great content as always
*Impact of indian philosophy was so hard on the early quantum physicists which included the creator of new quantum mechanics i.e heisenberg and schrodinger and that's how the concept quantum mysticism came into the existence.*
I personally believe scientists have right to believe whatever they want but they shouldn't try to add their beliefs with their discoveries.
thanx!
On the topic of profundity, and attributing meaning in only things that might be divine: I understand this a lot better than most people might. There is some feeling of helplessness there, a sentiment that humanity is, overall, not worth the privilege of dictating our own fate. We must be granted our value by a higher power to have any at all.
At least, that's what is implicitly taught in a religious house. That is what is implicitly preached in a religious town. For Christians to give God value, we must strip the value from ourselves. We would call this abusive and manipulative if another human brought us low so that they could stand above us, but because we instead attribute it to God, who is (according to Christians) infallable, unknowable, and eternal, we accept it as a fact without examination... mostly.
I did examine this, as I got older, and began to question my faith. I had a period where losing my faith was distressing to the point of physical sickness. I spent a small amount of time believing that nothing had value at all, and I will admit that my mind wandered to dark places. I adopted attitudes of nihilism and misanthropy, despising mankind for contriving a lie to hide the uncomfortable truth that existence is meaningless.
And then I realized that this mindset is toxic.
Everything has value, especially ourselves, in spite of our culture's best efforts to strip that away from us. We do not need to recieve our worth from a deity, nor must we bestow it on ourselves. We have inherent value, and the right to derive our own meaning from life, as sentient creatures.
The irony is that I actually do believe in God. I have heard God speak to me exactly once. That exchange answered no questions for me, but did make something clear: My existence is inconsequential to a God, and a God's opinion of me is inconsequential to me as well. They will go about their existence, and I will continue my life. And nothing about the existence of a God affects my value as a person.
Very well said.
Loved what Dave had to say here. I wish the other guy didn’t just restate what was being discussed though.
i love you chemistry jesus
Since you are expanding your scientific-based content into the social realm, please do a vid on Terror Management Theory.
You never tagged who the human from The Human Values Podcast.
My main criticism umm is umm his umm in every sentence. He's got to tighten it up.
The interesting thing to me about science and religion is the way labels impact or relation to them.
If you were to ask a scientist if monsters exist, their proclivities would conjugator up images of Godzilla and King Kong along with vampires and werewolves that they would then dismiss. So you ask them what are some attributes of a monster and they would say they have big teeth, and claws, can see in the dark and are exceptionally strong.
And then you wonder at what point a bear, with sharp teeth and claws and exceptional Strank with the ability to smell you from miles away stop becoming a monster simply because we categorized it so neatly as a mammal.
What does it matter if you call it up there or a monster, it is still the same thing that will eat you in the dark. And the same thing can be said about your subconscious which is literally a different consciousness that you share your body with it only lets you borrow the wheel of the body at times, and it temps you and bubbles up ideas and thoughts and emotions. And you can call it a ego or a devil and it will change the way you think of it but it is functionally the same thing that you experience. In the wisdom of how Religions tell you to battle that do not change if you call it a devil or an ego. And if you say it your subconscious does not give you any additional control over it and if it was a different entity. Nothing changes but how do you think about it.
Hey Dave I was wondering if you could do a video on Gilese-710, like how we found it and others facts?
I did one on a Gliese system, possibly that one, check my astronomy playlist!
The human experience is so colorful and brilliant because we have all of our own routes to knowledge, appreciation and self-love. It's beautiful that we all have our own beliefs and ways to live our lives. Anyone that would be against that is a true asshole with really bad hangups that need to be worked out. However, it gets ugly the second you take those beautiful beliefs and assert them on someone else or use them to say someone else is wrong.
Very good points. If it ok to ask, what are your beliefs?
@Jyniguunx yz without criticism things won't improve
I knew about religion growing up, but my parents always told me that everybody believed it but it wasn't true. They said that I was free to explore religion, and even allowed me to go to church with my neighbors. None of that stuff ever made any sense to me. Sure, everyone at church and my friends said it was real. But my parents sat me down and explained what religion was and why people believe it. God never made sense to me, still doesn't. I guess you have to be indoctrinated to fall for it, because I never once thought that there was a god
It sounds like you had good parents! Unfortunately I think when you don’t have well-educated parents or exposure to science at a young age, you’re more at risk of being swept up by religious dogma.
It's how many ppl "fall" for this stuff, they have been through something traumatic and don't beleive in God so this is the only thing they can grasp that helps them feel any kind of peace. Js
Seriously! We need to be able to cultivate our spirituality and still ground in the reality of of ever evolving science. We let closed minded theologies turn us away from our sacred connection to creation. It's why nature based therapies are so affective across so many aspects of psychological resilience.
To earn the trust of the public I'm afraid that you'll have to take a stance against your own health care system. People who can't afford it often turn around and give in to less expensive yet more harmful woo.
Professor Dave, is Santa real?
Would you ever be interested in doing a debunking video on something involving cryptids, like Bigfoot or Mothman?

I very much enjoy your channel Dave. I like it all, the educational and the debunking. I'd love if you do more educational stuff about the universe and space. Probably the most interesting as it truly is the last unexplored frontier. Also very interesting your debunk of Kent Hovind, I'm semi religious, but I don't see how alternate ideas about the creation of life is in any way an affront to religion. I think it's lazy to explain things we don't understand by just using God as a stand in. Thanks for the info and evidence, it's good to see bad ideas put down through evidence and explanation.
If it ok for me to ask, what do you mean when you say you are “semi-religious”?
Sure, no prob, I mean I was raised religious and I still practice that religion, but don't take it as serious as I probably should. Don't practice it that well either.
@@joshx9746 Thanks for reply. Which religion if it ok to ask? I am semireligious myself, but also love science.
Catholic
@@joshx9746 Thanks for sharing. I was raised Catholic, went through a period of questioning where I considered atheism, got more into Catholicism again, went through a period of questioning where I considered atheism, became more of a deist, and now I am some between Catholic/generally spiritual. I have had (and still have) a lot of good times with the church and many people I value so much. However, there are also the scandals, a lot of the Bible is contradictory, and a lot of it is also scientifically/historically false from a literal standpoint. I also have studied science.
36:56 I think what he was trying to ask was if it was possible to correlate the proclaimed visions of past lives with some type of brain event, like hallucinations or things of the such.
In my opinion things like that can't really be correlated just because we just don't know, I dont even think there would be a possible way to connect the two.
Have you ever noticed how everybody's past life is one of a handful of mythologized figures relevant to their culture?
It is entirely possible people to generate false memories for a variety of reasons, and memories of past lives are all some variation on the more famous stories.
@@joewalsh4713 I see what you mean, since they believe that reincarnation is real their stories are very similar to the reincarnation stories in their respective religious text.
There's no such thing as past lifes, but humans have imagination and manipulatove mind as well, so you can create false memories and believe them to be true remenisin from "other life"
Dave,
You should do a video on Dr. Sebi I know very little to what his claims scientifically say, but this feels kinda like a similar topic to self healing and nature vs big pharma. It'd be intesting to see what science if any could back any of the claims to healing all these ailments people claim he did with herbs and nothing else
The issue with New Age spiritualism is that they make claims about the natural world on the backbone of faith. It’s not just Leo, or Jordan from Spirit Science, Universe Inside You creates videos claiming western medicine is a lie and curing yourself with vibrational waves is the true pathway to happiness.
Honestly, some secular people have said in the past that New Age Spiritualism isn’t as bad as traditional belief systems, but I seriously disagree, it can be just as harmful if not more so. Look at how Karlyn Borysenko tried to justify what happened to Germany’s people in the 1940s. She just claimed their Souls wanted them to experience and end like that so it was a *good thing* because their souls ordained it. I’ve seen tons of New Agers make this argument to justify pain and suffering. You can use a LOT of that Spirit World logic to justify terrible actions into good things. You would be shocked how many of them interpret suffering like that. In their logic starving kids in Africa deserve what they’re going through because their Soul ‘chose’ that experience, and all they’ll claim is they should meditate more to ‘transcend’ their karmic desire for the samsaric attraction to that kind of suffering. This ain’t too far from from Westboro Baptist Church IMHO…
But it’s dangerous because it constantly challenges scientific truths we know about the world and insists on contesting with the information that has evidence. But it is harmful, it denies modern medicine, morality and human compassion for others, and often times it justifies atrocities.
Great interview, Professor Dave. Is your upcoming debunk on Edgar Andrews' theories on how modern science proves the existence of God?
Dave - you’re describing discord
this discussion was really interesting. i really liked it. i think these are really important topics that arent talked about enough.
also this video has made me realize how much i enjoy just talking about science and scientific topics. im a 22 year old college student with not much direction in life and was seriously considering dropping out because i couldnt see the point in continuing, but i actually think the topic of science communication may keep me going. still not sure but it definitely sparked true interest, which i had been loosing ever since i started college

Used to be a follower of Leo, glad i left the cult hahaha
Huge fan of your work! professor dave I was referencing your channel in a flat earth live YT stream and all the people in the chat were freaking out lol they are hard to convince unless they see things. the breakdown of rationality is alarming but has been going on in a large segment of the population since the dawn of time. I will give a brief testimony of spirituality is that a couple days ago i developed insomia and it wouldnt go away and i prayed fast and repetitive from the heart to jesus rebuking a spirit (I wasnt sure if it was a spirit causing the insomnia it could have been just natural brain chemistry) but after a minute and a half of "prayer" there was a shift in my head where I felt the insomia clearing up it was like a "fog" clearing up really fast and I immediately went to sleep and upon waking up I went to my roommate and I asked him if he could tell a difference and he said I had a noticeable level of energy compared to the last time I talked to him. I feel amazing and back to normal but I'm telling you that the belief in spirituality will never go away even if all religion is removed because there are spirits that give people headaches, insomnia, dreams. and these demons are getting cast out of people in religious ceremonies which can be found on YT. im not trying to have a conversation or anything as its very hard to track spirituality in nature other than peoples experiences (im about to start making videos tracking patterns in history that might help get a better insight on this) but im giving you some information. love the work you do!

Haven't done DMT myself.. but wonder if you'd like to try it, Professor Dave.. and give us your trip report then. I mean, people do report some mind-blowing experiences. And Terence McKenna wasn't a complete idiot, he was an excellent wordsmith. He also gave interesting lectures about Carl Jung for example.
A million anecdotes don't amount to a single fact. And McKenna spoke well, but was often factually wrong. I hope we continue funding scientific research on these compounds as we continue our long exit from the Reagan-era doctrines on the subject of psychedelics.
Obligatory humorous or insightful comment for the Almighty Algorithm. 😊
One of these whackadoo mystics opened a business next door to me, gives “medical” 😅 advice, gave my diabetic boss a lingam massage, destroyed his marriage and continues to prey upon him every day for the past 6 months. He was married to a Kaiser physician. It makes me sick watching and listening to this woman’s absolute nonsense every day.
