Banned TED Talks on Consciousness and Dogmatic Science

I just found out that TED Talks banned and censored two talks from their Youtube page for what they called "pseudoscience." After watching both of these talks I can't help but wonder why? Is it because they both challenge the status quo or is it because their ideas/theories are fraudulent? I will let you decide. It reminds me that there may be a collective censure in the mainstream narration when people say things that others don't believe in or conflicts with their own said beliefs. If one has an idea/theory that is not accepted by mainstream opinions, does that give reason to censor said theories? I will talk about this in a later post about conformity and my experience with it in the military, public education and corporate world.

At any rate, both Rupert Sheldrake and Graham Hancock gave great talks about dogma in science and consciousness respectfully. Both reference ideas from one of my favorite theorist and scientist, the late Terence McKenna, author of Food of the Gods. As you will see in both talks they both assert that science and consciousness are not as factual and defined as one may think. Here, you can read why TED pulled both their talks and the subsequent fallout.  I also read that TedX West Hollywood got their license revoked because of their proposed up coming speakers and a planned livestream of Graham Hancock's "War on Consciousness."

It's no wonder when people start talking or theorizing outside the accepted beliefs of the mainstream narration they are labeled "pseudoscience," "crazy," or "radical" and are censored. If you say something or present something that doesn't make sense then let the audience counter it or question it, don't censor it authoritatively or marginalize it with stereotypical slander.  Hence, the point why I wrote this post about this subject. I find it very interesting that TED outright banned two talks given by people who question traditional ideas about science and consciousness, which the latter could have a revolutionary role in our present society.

My point being is, we need more people like Rupert Sheldreake and Graham Hancock in order to shake the shackles of conformity both intellectually, socially and scientifically in order for us as whole to move forward in new frontiers of thinking, unity and coming up with solutions to our present enigmas.
