21. What Being a Skeptic Really Means, Dr. Raymond Moody

Guest: Dr. Raymond Moody explores what his thirty years of research has
taught us about consciousness and examines how much is still left to be
discovered. During the 45-minute interview Dr. Moody explains why the philosophy
of skepticism is central to his work and why scientists must resist the
urge to jump to conclusions based on preconceived ideas about how their
experiments will turn out: “It’s so much fun to apply the rules of
reason. People appeal to reason because they are seeking the unique legitimacy
the reason provides. Nobody balances their checkbook by the astrology chart,
right?”
