1
00:00:05,329 --> 00:00:03,010
this should be sie es peace I RV

2
00:00:09,350 --> 00:00:05,339
provides some excellent white crows

3
00:00:12,890 --> 00:00:09,360
still and the court is out on those they

4
00:00:15,259 --> 00:00:12,900
are not inconclusive in this case okay

5
00:00:16,970 --> 00:00:15,269
so physical isms the Kelly's heel is

6
00:00:20,060 --> 00:00:16,980
causal closure of the physical domain

7
00:00:22,580 --> 00:00:20,070
what this means is and this is a premise

8
00:00:25,220 --> 00:00:22,590
that physicalist assume this is not

9
00:00:27,589 --> 00:00:25,230
something you can prove it's assumed and

10
00:00:29,750 --> 00:00:27,599
based on a lot of the physical evidence

11
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:29,760
but there's still plenty of evidence to

12
00:00:33,830 --> 00:00:32,250
be found so no causal influences can

13
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:33,840
enter from outside the physical domain

14
00:00:39,319 --> 00:00:37,530
and no causal influences can exit the

15
00:00:41,930 --> 00:00:39,329
physical domain to re-enter elsewhere

16
00:00:44,810 --> 00:00:41,940
what that means is you have the physical

17
00:00:46,369 --> 00:00:44,820
universe that's all there is that's the

18
00:00:47,770 --> 00:00:46,379
basic premise of physicalism the

19
00:00:49,910 --> 00:00:47,780
physical universe is all there is

20
00:00:52,250 --> 00:00:49,920
nothing can come in from outside to

21
00:00:54,439 --> 00:00:52,260
affect the physical universe if it did

22
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:54,449
that would make it by certain definition

23
00:00:59,660 --> 00:00:57,930
non-physical okay and so that's excluded

24
00:01:03,439 --> 00:00:59,670
you also can't have something go from

25
00:01:05,390 --> 00:01:03,449
inside ear up to the outside and erupt

26
00:01:07,429 --> 00:01:05,400
back into the inside you can't have a

27
00:01:09,950 --> 00:01:07,439
cause of course do that either that

28
00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:09,960
violates closure and the whole reason is

29
00:01:13,940 --> 00:01:12,510
because there's not only nothing outside

30
00:01:16,899 --> 00:01:13,950
the physical universe for that to go

31
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:16,909
into and so they just they basically

32
00:01:20,539 --> 00:01:19,170
postulate that there is nothing outside

33
00:01:22,130 --> 00:01:20,549
of physical universe that you cannot go

34
00:01:23,420 --> 00:01:22,140
outside the physical physical universe

35
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:23,430
you can't bring anything in from the

36
00:01:29,149 --> 00:01:26,250
outside okay but that is an assumption

37
00:01:31,219 --> 00:01:29,159
and so that's the weak point of

38
00:01:34,249 --> 00:01:31,229
physicalism if you can show that closure

39
00:01:36,649 --> 00:01:34,259
is false you falsify physicalism and you

40
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:36,659
allow the field to be open for all kinds

41
00:01:42,740 --> 00:01:39,090
of things including sigh ESP whatever

42
00:01:44,510 --> 00:01:42,750
okay so let's talk about how this all

43
00:01:45,710 --> 00:01:44,520
work so I'm going to get into causation

44
00:01:48,319 --> 00:01:45,720
a little bit here and I hope this will

45
00:01:50,030 --> 00:01:48,329
be a user-friendly way if not you can

46
00:01:52,580 --> 00:01:50,040
all pass out and or throw things at me

47
00:01:55,130 --> 00:01:52,590
but anyway there's three kinds of causal

48
00:01:57,350 --> 00:01:55,140
chains that I'm going to talk about one

49
00:01:59,600 --> 00:01:57,360
is your standard normal usual causal

50
00:02:02,270 --> 00:01:59,610
chain cause-and-effect deterministic

51
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:02,280
sort of process this consists of a

52
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:04,890
series of sequential steps that are

53
00:02:11,089 --> 00:02:07,770
causally relevant okay you can trace

54
00:02:12,860 --> 00:02:11,099
this backwards from a terminal event to

55
00:02:13,690 --> 00:02:12,870
the ancestor event and in fact you can

56
00:02:15,250 --> 00:02:13,700
continue to try

57
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:15,260
even further back from the ancestor

58
00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:17,330
event that's your standard thing he

59
00:02:20,380 --> 00:02:18,560
traced all the way back to the Big Bang

60
00:02:22,660 --> 00:02:20,390
assuming the Big Bang Big Bang really

61
00:02:25,630 --> 00:02:22,670
happened okay that's your standard

62
00:02:27,670 --> 00:02:25,640
causal chain so it goes like this and by

63
00:02:29,229 --> 00:02:27,680
the way this illustrates an actual

64
00:02:32,890 --> 00:02:29,239
family incident that happened many years

65
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:32,900
ago and the boy that's implicated in

66
00:02:36,910 --> 00:02:34,730
this was about five at the time and he

67
00:02:38,830 --> 00:02:36,920
is now in the room at 27 so he'll get a

68
00:02:40,089 --> 00:02:38,840
real thrill out of this I'm sure least

69
00:02:41,199 --> 00:02:40,099
this is how the story was told to me I

70
00:02:45,190 --> 00:02:41,209
found out later it may not be quite

71
00:02:46,660 --> 00:02:45,200
accurate ok so our terminating event is

72
00:02:49,390 --> 00:02:46,670
that a lamp striking the Florence

73
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:49,400
shattering the boy has bumped the lamp

74
00:02:53,949 --> 00:02:52,130
which is what causes it to fall the dog

75
00:02:57,509 --> 00:02:53,959
bumps the boy which causes him to bump

76
00:03:01,509 --> 00:02:57,519
the lamp the explosion startles the dog

77
00:03:02,740 --> 00:03:01,519
ok a casserole dish explodes which is

78
00:03:04,509 --> 00:03:02,750
the explosion that startles the dog

79
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:04,519
cause the boy that bumped the lamp they

80
00:03:09,069 --> 00:03:06,290
caused the lamp to hit the floor right

81
00:03:11,380 --> 00:03:09,079
and the babysitter puts a casserole dish

82
00:03:12,699 --> 00:03:11,390
on the stove contrary to instructions in

83
00:03:13,990 --> 00:03:12,709
which you're supposed to put the ravioli

84
00:03:15,580 --> 00:03:14,000
in the casserole dish and put it in the

85
00:03:18,940 --> 00:03:15,590
oven he puts on the stovetop and dead

86
00:03:20,530 --> 00:03:18,950
instead and turns it on high very

87
00:03:23,259 --> 00:03:20,540
interesting change of events quite

88
00:03:26,020 --> 00:03:23,269
plausible turned out to be false but we

89
00:03:27,940 --> 00:03:26,030
won't go there ok ok so this is a

90
00:03:29,979 --> 00:03:27,950
standard causal chain you see how we

91
00:03:31,690 --> 00:03:29,989
chase that backwards ok and for those of

92
00:03:33,819 --> 00:03:31,700
you can't follow the diagrams I have it

93
00:03:37,809 --> 00:03:33,829
linearly here but I only come back there

94
00:03:39,309 --> 00:03:37,819
ok alright so the next one and now this

95
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:39,319
is terminology I've sort of invented

96
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:42,170
there may be other similar concepts that

97
00:03:45,309 --> 00:03:43,970
have different terminology but capture

98
00:03:49,210 --> 00:03:45,319
the same thing that that's fine for here

99
00:03:51,670 --> 00:03:49,220
ok a truncated causal chain is a is one

100
00:03:55,030 --> 00:03:51,680
that violates closure ok it's a series

101
00:03:57,039 --> 00:03:55,040
of sequentially sequential causally

102
00:03:59,199 --> 00:03:57,049
relevant steps you can trace it

103
00:04:02,589 --> 00:03:59,209
backwards from the terminal event but at

104
00:04:04,809 --> 00:04:02,599
some point you discover the causal chain

105
00:04:06,910 --> 00:04:04,819
just sort of materialized in thin air

106
00:04:09,370 --> 00:04:06,920
and began from there that's why I call

107
00:04:11,319 --> 00:04:09,380
it truncated you don't have a genealogy

108
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:11,329
you can't trace it to interest ancestry

109
00:04:18,610 --> 00:04:15,530
back past a certain point ok and so are

110
00:04:20,710 --> 00:04:18,620
our causal chain diagram go something

111
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:20,720
like this lamp strikes the flooring

112
00:04:25,270 --> 00:04:23,210
shatters the boy bunts the lamp the dog

113
00:04:27,490 --> 00:04:25,280
bumps the boy is screaming troll

114
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:27,500
startles the dog this

115
00:04:31,150 --> 00:04:28,730
screaming troll appears out of nowhere

116
00:04:34,870 --> 00:04:31,160
and we have no idea where the troll came

117
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:34,880
from ok that's a truncated causal chain

118
00:04:40,150 --> 00:04:36,890
you have this sudden appearance which

119
00:04:43,780 --> 00:04:40,160
some might attribute to supernatural or

120
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:43,790
non-physical or whatever ok and again

121
00:04:48,490 --> 00:04:46,130
here's the linear thing all right good

122
00:04:50,380 --> 00:04:48,500
so now here's the third one this is the

123
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:50,390
intermittently truncated causal chain

124
00:04:53,530 --> 00:04:52,010
see when you get into philosophy you've

125
00:04:56,590 --> 00:04:53,540
got to be able to handle these terms

126
00:05:01,750 --> 00:04:56,600
right and the longer you can make them

127
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:01,760
the better your PhD is ok intermittent

128
00:05:05,710 --> 00:05:03,650
leak truncated causal chain series of

129
00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:05,720
sequential e causally relevant steps

130
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:08,240
just like the others you can trace it

131
00:05:14,100 --> 00:05:11,330
backwards from a terminal event to a

132
00:05:17,230 --> 00:05:14,110
sudden eruption into the physical domain

133
00:05:20,830 --> 00:05:17,240
but the further thing is you know what

134
00:05:22,060 --> 00:05:20,840
its ancestral originating event is ok so

135
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:22,070
here's I'm going to illustrate it this

136
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:23,810
is a bit more complicated i hope this

137
00:05:28,060 --> 00:05:25,730
makes sense to you okay we've got the

138
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:28,070
lamp in the floor the boy hits the lamp

139
00:05:32,380 --> 00:05:30,410
the dog gets the boy the screaming troll

140
00:05:34,659 --> 00:05:32,390
scares the dog the screaming troll

141
00:05:37,020 --> 00:05:34,669
appears out of nowhere the troll

142
00:05:39,730 --> 00:05:37,030
reenters the physical domain from a

143
00:05:42,490 --> 00:05:39,740
previous exit out of the physical domain

144
00:05:45,250 --> 00:05:42,500
at which point the screaming troll

145
00:05:46,510 --> 00:05:45,260
disappears explosion startles the family

146
00:05:47,860 --> 00:05:46,520
troll that's how you got him in the

147
00:05:51,460 --> 00:05:47,870
first place he was part of your pet

148
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:51,470
menagerie okay the Akash world ish

149
00:05:56,590 --> 00:05:53,090
explodes and the babysitter puts a

150
00:05:59,560 --> 00:05:56,600
casual dish on the on the stove okay now

151
00:06:03,280 --> 00:05:59,570
here's the whole thing are you

152
00:06:04,650 --> 00:06:03,290
overwhelmed but you get the idea now now

153
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:04,660
it's time for the laser pointer okay

154
00:06:11,290 --> 00:06:08,530
casserole dish that's a physical event

155
00:06:13,570 --> 00:06:11,300
casserole dish explodes that's a

156
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:13,580
physical event the explosion startles

157
00:06:18,310 --> 00:06:15,050
the troll that also is the physical

158
00:06:20,770 --> 00:06:18,320
event the troll screams but he

159
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:20,780
disappears that then goes outside of the

160
00:06:24,909 --> 00:06:23,570
physical domain okay he's floating

161
00:06:26,230 --> 00:06:24,919
around somewhere outside of it we don't

162
00:06:27,340 --> 00:06:26,240
care where he goes outside of the

163
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:27,350
physical domain he's out there somewhere

164
00:06:32,890 --> 00:06:31,490
right but then he pops back in and then

165
00:06:34,420 --> 00:06:32,900
he scares the dog and the boy in the

166
00:06:35,710 --> 00:06:34,430
lamp in the floor and then that's a

167
00:06:38,830 --> 00:06:35,720
physical again so you have this

168
00:06:40,970 --> 00:06:38,840
intermediate section here that isn't

169
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:40,980
within the physical domain

170
00:06:45,110 --> 00:06:43,290
and that is very problematical

171
00:06:48,730 --> 00:06:45,120
physicalism if you can demonstrate an

172
00:06:52,670 --> 00:06:48,740
intermittent truncated causal chain okay

173
00:06:55,130 --> 00:06:52,680
so there we are linearly again so here

174
00:06:58,540 --> 00:06:55,140
are some examples excuse me a truncated

175
00:07:00,800 --> 00:06:58,550
causal change apparitions mediumship

176
00:07:02,930 --> 00:07:00,810
spontaneous sighs certain cases there's

177
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:02,940
arguments here that could be made and

178
00:07:09,470 --> 00:07:05,370
interestingly the qualia consciousness

179
00:07:13,070 --> 00:07:09,480
argument because the quail yeah if it is

180
00:07:16,460 --> 00:07:13,080
if qualia are non-physical as the

181
00:07:19,580 --> 00:07:16,470
argument goes then we don't know where

182
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:19,590
they come from so that's a truncated

183
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:23,250
causal chain now here are some examples

184
00:07:30,110 --> 00:07:28,770
of ITC sees the staring and other

185
00:07:32,300 --> 00:07:30,120
distance mental influence kinds of

186
00:07:33,890 --> 00:07:32,310
experiments okay in a staring experiment

187
00:07:37,970 --> 00:07:33,900
you have someone who places

188
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:37,980
intentionality on another person through

189
00:07:41,620 --> 00:07:40,410
some intermediary means so the subject

190
00:07:44,150 --> 00:07:41,630
doesn't know they're being stared at

191
00:07:47,420 --> 00:07:44,160
okay so that part of its known that's

192
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:47,430
physically known then the person has a

193
00:07:51,470 --> 00:07:49,410
feeling either has the feeling of being

194
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:51,480
stared at and indicates it or autonomic

195
00:07:54,970 --> 00:07:53,250
responses indicate there's some kind of

196
00:07:58,430 --> 00:07:54,980
attention being placed on that person

197
00:08:00,950 --> 00:07:58,440
but in a separate room or separate

198
00:08:02,870 --> 00:08:00,960
building whatever there is a cause a big

199
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:02,880
hole in the causation between the

200
00:08:08,350 --> 00:08:04,770
staring and the perception of being

201
00:08:10,610 --> 00:08:08,360
stared at and that is your intermittent

202
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:10,620
passage through the non-physical domain

203
00:08:15,770 --> 00:08:13,290
whatever that might be gone spells an

204
00:08:17,750 --> 00:08:15,780
example of that presenta medics Pyramus

205
00:08:20,930 --> 00:08:17,760
that Dean Radin has done a lot of or

206
00:08:22,820 --> 00:08:20,940
like that remote viewing is like that a

207
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:22,830
particularly associated remote viewing

208
00:08:27,620 --> 00:08:24,330
and remote viewing you have a spatial

209
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:27,630
interrupt okay the viewer is interplay

210
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:29,250
sitting down given a coordinator or

211
00:08:34,370 --> 00:08:31,530
tasking number writes down gets the

212
00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:34,380
perceptions the target the viewer is

213
00:08:38,570 --> 00:08:36,570
known location and tasking is known the

214
00:08:40,850 --> 00:08:38,580
target is known to everybody but the

215
00:08:42,620 --> 00:08:40,860
viewer presumably well and whoever's

216
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:42,630
associated of yours double blind okay

217
00:08:48,740 --> 00:08:45,090
but how the information gets from here

218
00:08:50,930 --> 00:08:48,750
to here is completely unknown and so you

219
00:08:53,270 --> 00:08:50,940
have an intermittent intermittently

220
00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:53,280
truncated causal chain right associative

221
00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:54,570
remote viewing is Bo

222
00:08:59,060 --> 00:08:57,120
space and time it's a very powerful

223
00:09:02,060 --> 00:08:59,070
paradigm actually for trying to

224
00:09:04,730 --> 00:09:02,070
establish the reality of cyan DSP kinds

225
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:04,740
of effects dowsing certain modes and

226
00:09:10,250 --> 00:09:07,050
there are plenty of others okay now

227
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:10,260
here's the both TCC's nit sees violate

228
00:09:15,140 --> 00:09:12,090
the closure principle how am I on time I

229
00:09:18,050 --> 00:09:15,150
have been looking okay look we may be

230
00:09:19,910 --> 00:09:18,060
good then okay both of them violate the

231
00:09:23,060 --> 00:09:19,920
closure principle but tccs are not

232
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:23,070
sufficiently convincing it's because you

233
00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:24,930
don't know where they start and the

234
00:09:30,740 --> 00:09:27,510
physicalist get by the consciousness

235
00:09:33,710 --> 00:09:30,750
argument by saying this okay we don't

236
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:33,720
know why you have the feel you do when

237
00:09:37,940 --> 00:09:35,970
you see the color red or you feel warm

238
00:09:41,270 --> 00:09:37,950
sensation on your arm or whatever we

239
00:09:43,100 --> 00:09:41,280
don't know why but you can't show us

240
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:43,110
where it comes from and we have very

241
00:09:47,870 --> 00:09:45,450
good confidence that neuroscience will

242
00:09:50,300 --> 00:09:47,880
eventually be able to explain it and so

243
00:09:51,620 --> 00:09:50,310
they can say we think there's a physical

244
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:51,630
explanation we don't know what it is but

245
00:09:56,270 --> 00:09:53,850
we think there is okay and anytime you
