Matter of bullshit. > Trivedi went through this conductivity spread a few times in > his talks in FF like he was considering it while he was here. Or like he was making it up while there. Let's look at the scenario you outlined from a different point of view, one a tad more skeptical, less pre-biased, and less shill-like. Con man breezes into a new town hoping to make some big bucks from Yet Another Group Of Seekers Who Have More Money Than Discrimination. He finds that this particular set of suckers...uh, I mean seekers worship pseudo-science, having been trained to do so for decades by Maharishi. What to do? Make up some pseudo-science, of course. First, make up something called "the healing energy in nature," something that no scientist in the world would recognize as a real thing. Then, springboard off of the concept you just made up *as if it were a given, something the existence of which can be assumed* (which it isn't, of course, but proceeding as if it *were* a given always works with suckers...uh, I mean seekers who are *looking to have what they want to believe confirmed*. Springboard off of it by postulating that this "healing energy" can be "conducted." Of course, only a few people on the planet (5%) are "super conductors" of the energy, like...uh...him. Finally, having created an entire pseudo-science scenario out of whole cloth, come up with a reason why some in the audience may not feel anything from this oh-so-rare "super conductor." Being stuck in the "non-conductor" group, they just aren't evolved enough to notice how profound this made-up energy is. Harsh? I don't think so. This is just my reading of the scenario minus Buck's attempt to characterize it as "science," WHICH IT IS NOT. Anyone can convince themselves of anything, and find some way to rationalize even the most obvious con if they're desperate to do so. But it really takes a TMer to pretend that the con is "science."
