I don’t think Jack is claiming that these stories really happened because he vetted guests. It’s that the guests sincerely believe they experienced the paranormal even if they obviously went through something else like a weird wet dream.

Yeah that's how I took it - that he was trying to weed out people that were totally making poo poo up to get on the pod.

It’s the old ethnographic method where you treat it as real to them, because to do otherwise just makes you one more scoffing imperialist who will never get closer to actual understanding because you insist on this rational arms-length remove.

It’s pretty confusing to freshmen in college so I can see where goons get hung up.

yeah some of my best experiences were just meeting someone weird and letting them drag me along on some adventure. it's okay to be a lil credulous in pursuit of a good story or human connection. art bell knew

These experiences are real to them, and that’s why the show is interesting! Why does the human brain make some people see a shadow figure???

Restaurant de Nouvelles "À Table" Proudly Presents:
A Climactic Encounter Ending on 1 Negate and a Dream
Episode was fun but I had a big laugh about the sudden death/brain talk at the end there. "Oh your brain can just think something real and shut down?" Yeah bitch your brain is your entire existence and how you interpret existence.

This guy never done drugs before? Yeah you can make your brain believe a lot of poo poo is really happening that isnt.

this is the most comprehensive archive I'm aware of at the moment: https://the-eye.eu/public/Radio/Coast%20to%20Coast%20AM/The%20Ultimate%20Art%20Bell%20Collection/Shows/

there was an rss feed that I think had all the same files but whoever was hosting it shut it down not long ago

I think there's a difference between being slightly smug about not believing in a superstition and being an r/atheism guy. TheAmazingAtheist (is he still around?) is probably the ideal embodiment of the stereotype.

Yeah I don’t know why this thread and CSPAM podcast thread are worked up over the concept of people discussing weird, unexplainable poo poo that happened to them. I don’t believe in the supernatural, but I dunno, it’s cool to hear a spooky story once in a while.

Cryptids are stupid, tho.

to answer seriously im being glib while posting. my joke is aimed the people who will take you hostage at a party and tell you about how their dead dad haunts them and they know because they heard a noise and the clock was the same as his birthday!

I've had sleep paralysis, I've literally seen an entity in my room threatening me while my chest feels likes its being caved in and my entire body strains to move, and i've terrified a girlfriend by screaming at the top of my lungs when the paralysis ended. If you don't know what that is, its entirely sensible and understandable to attribute it to ghosts, demons, aliens, whatever. im not making fun of those people.

religion is massive social force tied into culture, politics, governments, ethnicity, and a million other things. reddit atheists are the ones that will denigrate entire cultures or whatever, often dipping deep into islamophobia and outright racism. one cannot positively prove there is no god. Reddit atheists are the ones that claim otherwise. Will stated the position of the vast majority of atheists; that there is no reason to believe the currently proposed deities, but maybe something will change. For example if an amputee gets healed i'll line right up for whichever deity did that.

ghosts on the other hand are folk tales, often directly contradicting the popular religions of any area. there is nothing in Christianity that allows for souls to just not go to heaven or hell. there is no good reason to have such a belief, especially in an age where every single person has a camera on them at all times, along with a plethora of home security systems. yet all of the supposed documentations of hauntings are either blatant fakes, easily explained phenomena, or something unknown but still more plausibly explained by any earthly means than "an incorporeal entity that confirms the existence of a soul made a drawer open"
