  • Go to 3:13 to skip intro.

  • @imagineers0 i don't understand what you mean, "they meant the same as what others see". do colors mean something?

  • Love this topic. My mom saw auras all of her life. I don't know if she knew, but the specific colors she saw meant the same as what others see.

  • @yourtube20061 Not if it is empirical, then it is “24 Karat knowledge”. Dogma = established belief, not knowledge. The only way to find out if things are empirical is to hypothesize and experiment. Besides, in the scientific community, especially neuroscience, everything is disputable, even if you are pissing on someone else’s tenure.

  • rib removal is a myth and has been shown to be wrong.

  • i ma pot head :)

  • nice talk, but isnt scientific dogma also a dogma ?

  • That cube on the bottom left is freaking me out.

  • Man if I was synesthetic I would be tripping balls in math class.
