Dean Radin challenges scientific materialism and explores the science of consciousness
#2513 - Dean Radin
Expanding scientific inquiry beyond traditional materialism could unlock revolutionary treatments for brain diseases and redefine our understanding of human potential.
- 1Strict scientific materialism limits our understanding of consciousness and anomalous human capabilities.
- 2Systematic training methods demonstrate that phenomena like remote viewing can be studied scientifically.
- 3Emerging research in neuroengineering and psychedelics offers promising new pathways to treat neurodegenerative diseases.

Dean Radin explains how structured training protocols can unlock remote viewing capabilities.
The brief
Scientist Dean Radin challenges the foundational assumptions of modern science, arguing that a strict adherence to materialism prevents researchers from fully understanding the true nature of human consciousness and reality.
Radin discusses the rigorous training protocols developed for remote viewing and telepathy, suggesting these phenomena are not mere superstition but measurable human capabilities that deserve systematic scientific investigation.
Beyond parapsychology, the conversation explores how cutting-edge neuroengineering and psychedelics could be harnessed to treat neurodegenerative diseases, bridging the gap between ancient anomalies and modern medical science.

Noetic intuition includes a felt certainty that the intuition is correct.
“Noetic. So noetic is a feeling of intuition, except that it carries a sense of certainty that the intuition is correct.”

Controlled research provides strong evidence that telepathy exists.
“we have very, very strong evidence that telepathy does exist.”

Some people possess unusually strong remote-viewing talent.
“Some people are very talented.”
Listen at 26:15
Openness to experience generally improves remote-viewing performance.
“people who are open to experience and willing to try new things, they in general tend to do better.”
Listen at 27:46
Human intention can shift random-number-generator outputs toward intended results.
“their intention makes the bits go in the direction that you want. So you aim high, it goes up, aim low, it goes down”
Listen at 34:56
A neural-network device could identify users and intentions from random-number data.
“we're about to set a patent for this device because it worked.”
Listen at 36:48
Physiological responses can anticipate randomly selected emotional images by 1.5 seconds.
“one and a half seconds before the picture is selected, if it's emotional, you start to become emotional. If it's calm, you remain calm.”
Listen at 42:46
Almost everyone can perform remote viewing after training.
“almost everybody can do this. But it does require some training now.”
Listen at 47:09
Consciousness appears to possess nonlocal properties across space and time.
“consciousness seems to have a non local quality.”

Historically, shamans were valued for predictive abilities that aided tribal survival.
“We call them shaman. And the shaman, as part of a tribe, were extremely important because they knew the food would be 10 miles away that way next week.”
Listen at 53:01
Modern life reduces and atrophies humans’ remote-communication abilities.
“We don't have the need anymore. So it atrophies.”
Listen at 54:24
Casino jackpots, payouts, and table-game results improve around the full moon.
“found that jackpots happen more often and payouts happened, were larger, and table games did better between plus or minus one day from the full moon”
Listen at 58:01
A control-group intron mutation may suppress psychic sensitivity.
“These controls had a mutation in their intron sequence. So they were turning something off.”
Listen at 1:15:21
Longer historical Christian exposure correlates with a psychic-sensitivity-related mutation.
“countries that were exposed to Christianity, the longer they were exposed, the more this intron sequence was there, the mutation.”

A 50–70-pound impulse can temporarily soften a metal spoon’s grain boundary.
“if you're holding it like that and you can do between 50 and 70 pounds of force, suddenly, like an impulse, you will cause the lattice that forms the grain boundary to momentarily soften.”
Listen at 1:24:26
A study found 212 SNPs correlated with psychic experiences, including one highly significant association.
“We found 212 SNPs. These are single nucleotide polymorphisms. So it's a piece of the genome. 212 correlated with these psychic experiences, one of which correlated with a probability of a million to one.”
Listen at 1:33:19
Intranasal RNA treatment would require repeated dosing after its effects fade.
“it's a multi time treatment because it's rna. So RNA will last for a while and then months later you'd have to re up it.”
Listen at 1:45:15
Intranasal RNA interference may remain effective for approximately two months.
“The RNA interference will take, will come up and then stay for about, we think, a couple of months and then slowly begin to decline.”
Listen at 1:46:18
The treatment produced 100% memory improvement in mice and rats.
“we know from our studies with mice and rats, you get 100% improvement in memory.”
Listen at 1:47:18
The treatment nearly eliminated anxiety in tested mice and rats.
“At the same time, they'll get a. Almost 100% reduction in anxiety.”
Listen at 1:47:33
The cognitive treatment could become a performance-enhancing substance for healthy users.
“that could very likely happen.”
Listen at 1:50:35
A single treatment reduced aggression in two monkeys for two days.
“They took the compound and then they were chill for two days afterwards having a single dose. Those two monkeys were no longer aggressive.”
Listen at 1:55:26
Telepathy could enable both receiving and injecting thoughts, potentially controlling people.
“we normally think of being telepathic as receiving other people's thoughts, but it's actually a two way street. You can then inject thoughts and control people.”
Listen at 1:58:37
Psychedelic experiences often produce lasting prosocial personality changes.
“oftentimes there's a personality transformation. The personality transformation is like the positive side of ptsd, like their mind is blown. They become pro social”
Listen at 1:59:17
Human genetic mutations contribute to species resilience, possibly occurring in roughly 11% of cases.
“All of us have some percentage of mutations which is part of the resilience. I forget exactly 11% or something like that.”

The Great Pyramid’s 2.3 million precisely aligned stones indicate an unexplained advanced civilization.
“there seems to be some very weird evidence in the form of 2,300,000 perfectly cut stones that point to true north, south, east, and west that were put in place by the civilization that just emerged out of nowhere with this ability.”
Listen at 2:19:32
Many reported aliens are broadly humanoid in form.
“So a lot of these aliens that people talk about are basically like humans.”
Listen at 2:22:44
A future advanced civilization would observe less advanced societies and probably try to prevent nuclear war.
“We would observe and we would also probably try to stop nuclear war.”
Listen at 2:29:37
Humans may become an advanced species through genetic evolutionary enhancement.
“that advanced species may be us. Might need a little evolutionary push with genetics, but, yeah, we could do that too.”
Listen at 2:30:37
