There explanations that everyone can agree with (science) and there's nonreproducible experiences that defy rationalizaton. We can deride them (Blakemore, Harris) or we can accept their subjectivity and move on. -> The rest of my post you deride as "rationalization." ->Because you think I should only consider the mundane? Your suggestion of an outside radio is a rationalization.-Er, what do you mean by rationalization? You appear to have switched definitions midstream here?-> I am open that consciousness may not be restricted to my own body. I won't discount all stories as automatically false.-You're welcome to be open to it all you like, but don't expect a skeptic and a rationalist (a different word than I was using in the last post, hopefully this is clear in context) to be interested in the idea in the absence of evidence. Your positive claim. Ball is in your court.-> Have you HAD lucid dreams?-Yes. They are fun. Do I trust them to tell me anything about anything outside my own mind? Not a bit of it.
