Kripals Newest Book Demands Deeper Study Of Stories Of Universally Shared Human Experiences - Rice News

Sharing is caring, but is it encoded in our DNA? High strangeness is part and parcel of the human experience, yet widely dismissed by science with a capital S while the phenomenon endures with no end in sight. Jeffrey Kripal had a chance to talk with some of these greyfaces, off-the-record, and their personal takes are markedly different than the public establishment. Katharine Shilcutt gets Jeff to talk shop, and about his new book The Flip, which is guaranteed to raise more than a few eyebrows. There are similarties with the lesser brethren, like how Brooks Hays observed When Two Animals Interact, Their Brains Synchronize but is it psi, or a necessary survival tactic? Same goes for Mary Bates's Playful Meerkats Mirroring One Another’s Expressions while play-fighting, along with some proposals as to why this mimicry is vital to meerkat socialization. (CS)
