Leo, Im having some problems with the notion of radical open mindedness and the space kangaroo example.
Dont you fail to take into account that our life on earth is limited? So how can we hold space kangaroos, reptilians and flying spaghetti monsters and all other stuff you can come up with the same probability as fields like spirituality and science. I will be off 5 years investigating space kangaroos, 5 years researching flying spaghetti monsters and then maybe 5-10 more crazy conspiracy theories and my life is over.
When you pursued spirituality and stuff like psychedelics werent you biased yourself about what the answer might be or why would you dive so deep into exactly these topic? Shouldnt you have hold it on equal grounds with the theory that the earth is a flat surface balancing on a turtle in space and therefore dedicate the same amount of time to them?
I mean we are taking only one way through this maze anyway and not all of them, shouldnt we then make some educated guesses?
