Penn & Teller - BULLSHIT! : Ouija and Near Death Experience (Part 2/2)

[hobbicles28]

this is just synapses misfiring causing a person to "see" colors. science has studied this "phenomenon" and found it has nothing to do with near death bs. I have NDE every night they are called dreams. idiots. lol

[leeknivek]

when you're about to die, your brain produces DMT. dimethyltryptamine, the chemical your brain makes when you dream. it's in most plant life on earth, and if you extract it and smoke it you go on a ridiculous trip. most people who have smoked it claim that it's extremely enlightening and like having the whole universe go into your head at once.

Bary Beyerstein is a badass.

[92bagder]

riddle me this. there was an experiment if we have souls or not. the guy tested people who were dying on a scale. when the patient died they lost weight by like less than an ounce. anyway he thinking its their last breath he exhaled his lungs till he couldnt no more but nothing happened. Can anyone explain that cause I've been pondering that for a while

[sagar246246]

@92bagder that experiment was conducted in 1901. the patients were dying of T.B, their was an average weight loss of 21g in six patients. the dr. was a christian and believed only humans have soul and so when he tested the experiment on dogs, there was no difference in weight. he never repeated the experiment for anyone. later experiments conducted by other scientists failed to give any conclusive results.

[JJPHILLYLG]

Did any of these people talk to people who had a NDE outside their own religious beliefs? Probably not.

[JJPHILLYLG]

Confirmation bias like a motherfucker.

[generalpanda58]

HYPOTHESIS: During an NDE, your brain loses connection to the rest of the body. It can't feel pain. Especially when you compare it to the pain of being in a traumatic accident, feeling nothing in your physical extremities is probably one of the most euphoric experiences possible. People take pain killers when their perfectly fine. It wouldn't be to much of a stretch if that joy manifested itself in something like an NDE.

[Ioannisthegreat7]

I don't like judging people by their appearance, but sometimes you can just tell someone is a bozo by their looks.

[MunkyDrag0n]

Notice that when people have near death experiences they have many different visions. They never see anything they didn't believe in in life.

[sisseeboy]

i want a ride in the centrifuge



[SamonMarquis]

I imagine once the Aluminum Falcon engages Light Speed, everyone onboard has a Near Death Experience as well.

[andlyndav]

Dr. Moody has a pedophile vibe about him.

[35Cory85]

Raymond Moody needs to learn how to pronounce ethos.

[matoluk]

A Dutch NDE Study by J.Long, MD & P. Bernstein, PhD concluded 'Some scientists have asserted that the NDE is a hallucination brought on by the loss of oxygen called "anoxia", but cardiologist P. Lommel says:

"Our results show medical factors CANNOT account for NDE. All patients had a cardiac arrest, and clinically dead with unconsciousness"

This type of study gives scientists a matched comparison group of non-NDE patients against which to compare NDEs, giving scientists more reliable data.

[matoluk]

Those who studied the NDE—scientists, doctors, psychologists, other investigators and skeptics—all now claim with absolute certainty that the NDE does exist, and not just simply 'dreams'.

Michael Sabom, a cardiologist, was sure that NDEs must be 'conscious fabrications' either on the part of those reporting them or those writing about them. However, once he began to investigate he was absolutely staggered by the genuineness of the phenomena.

[redelman43199]

@matoluk Just because you experience a delusion does not mean it's real.

[overblast0000]

i definitely dont want 9:19 doing my hair

[goodwinsmart]

If the NDE experience is not much suffering and no brain damage, I would like to try it too.

[kiarablax]

Poor Maggie...she didn't improve.

And I thought dogs had no sins because the are animals? Why doesn't she improve because of her innocence then? :/

[Metal1998]

@ronaldcorreatv guess its all fake

[lordfall100]

okay so when you almost die your go fucking wacky. isn't that just getting high?

[crowowteam]

I saw my humster tha is now reincarneted in my current pekingnuese

[MrPainkiller1988]

Teller ROCKS \o/ 

[gulbirk]

nono that doctor is wrong. 01:23 nono, thats when religion happens.

[dropdead024]

ITS CALLED DMT MORONS

[spackhollogay]

Sis he say 18% or 80?

[mardique]

@spackhollogay 18.

[MegaMisterBob]

maggie the dog is a time lord??? nice

[Judoka00010]

everyone has been to "the other side of death."

the other side of death is life

[Nemesis000000]

@Judoka00010 That, and the faces of the final five cylons

[ChriswithMatt]

holy shit that german guy lol

"professor of gllockenburckerjepenhoffer."

[BlueBarrier782]

Why do all these bullshit people also have products to sell? It isn't enough for them to just believe it, they have to make money doing it...

[xcellken1]

That haridresser can make you look good? Doctor, HEAL THYSELF!

[jeffreyvsanten]

how can a psychologist know about neurology??

[Darpinion]

What about the people who had NDEs and were totally dead? No brain activity, no vitals - nothing.

[Skaryon]

@Darpinion such people ARE dead. You don't come back from that point. Anyone telling you otherwise is lying. No brain activity = it's over.

[Darpinion]

@Skaryon near hyphen death dot com

Why don't you take a look at that page for a while.

[Skaryon]

@Darpinion Why don't you present me with some proper scientific paper instead of dumb propaganda?

[Slipknotyk06]

@Darpinion - I'm sorry but no vitals and no brain activity means you're done. Once you have NO brain activity, there is nothing to tell your cardiovascular system and respiratory system what to do should you do get the heart to beat once again. In addition, it's not like the "no brain activity" claim is verified. They're not in an EEG when this happens, so brain activity may still be going on. Neural activity can fire for 20 minutes after blood flow ceases, and resuscitation keeps blood flowing.

[Slipknotyk06]

@Darpinion - In other words your page full of stories is a fabrication, full of undocumented and unverified claims that could be tested but because of circumstance aren't. The only way to verify that they don't have neural activity going on is to put them in an EEG machine. If you're dying that isn't exactly the smartest freaking move because it requires resuscitation stops.

I understand you want to believe, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

[Cptheadstomp420]

oh dude that professor guy at 8:00 with the vest fuckin ruled!
