Show Notes
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Donna Thomas, whose research explores children’s extraordinary and so-called “extrasensory” experiences.
We discuss:
-
The unexamined materialist assumptions embedded in social science
-
What we mean by “self,” “identity,” and “subjectivity”
-
Children’s reports of unusual experiences
-
Whether physicalist models have sufficient explanatory power
-
Why certain forms of experience are dismissed before being examined
This is not a conversation about belief. It’s a discussion about explanatory frameworks and intellectual honesty.
