The uproar surrounding TED’s removal of both Graham Hancock’s and Rupert Sheldrake’s recent conference talks give us plenty to discuss on this week’s show. Is this a censorship of ideas that challenge the status quo and are 13 year olds really catching planes to Peru to become Ayahuasca Shamans because of Graham Hancock?

We also feature special guests Trish and Rob MacGregor to discuss their new book ‘Aliens in the Backyard’.

I have attended two TedX conferences, and the amount of in-house politics (re: the institutions who host them, and who gets to present a talk) that goes on behind the scenes is ridiculous. In the inaugural tedx presentation that took place…. I entered the hallway to find less than 120 chairs setup in a hall with a capacity of 800. I lamented the students in the room next to the hall who had to watch it via live-stream…apparently there are heavy restrictions on using the Ted Brand…

Look deeply enough and you will find a litany of criticisms against TED, cost of attendance, attaining the license, who gets to present etc. More specifically, re: the Graham Hancock/ Rupert Sheldrake drama, you will find a large majority of academics are critical of the talks that take place on TED as providing misrepresentation of entire fields of knowledge. However, they do not launch internet campaigns to remove the talks because of those criticisms….the ability to present your view trumps the extreme scientism being trumpeted by some of these atheist’s groups/followings

I am a biochemist and as a listener of MU, I feel the exploration and consideration of concepts and ideas beyond the norm promote the creative thinking to make great discoveries. MU is a great muse to better our minds and lives. Even if poor Graham Handcock did go beyond personal experience and was opposed to the dogma of science. At least he has inspired thoughts and ideas in doing so. It’s a 3d world and like drawing perspectives we should seek the vanishing point to find an insightful balance. Please get the shirts ready as soon as possible because I will get one as soon as they are available

Great show full of all things crypto loved it!
Before the Internet I was a subscriber to Omni magazine and got allot of excellent info that was not available in main stream media. Before the advent of the Net people like me really had to search hard for information about UFOs,bigfoot,science,and paranormal,it’s nice to to see kudos paid to this once great magazine.

Omni magazine was a treasure trove. When Ben mentioned he never had a chance to read it, my beard grew a couple more gray hairs

Guys. Thanks for covering the TED fiasco. Although I found it so disappointing and I haven’t been that irritated listening to a podcast in a while. It just gives me that, we are up against a huge brick wall feeling!

And to say that they are worried about kids using ayahuasca. Considering that a couple of years ago in the US overdoses from legal prescription drugs overtook overdoses from illegal drugs! You would think they would be more worried about kids stealing mommy and daddy’s happy pills……
