The book Why People Believe Weird Things, sounds like an interesting book. However, something that struck me as being strange. In your blog, he seemed to convey that Shermer would considers the Holocaust, as pseudo history. Did you mean that some people, believe the Holocaust to be pseudohistory? I would hope that Mr. Shermer, as an intelligent, learned, and slow thinker would view the Holocaust as a horrific example of what can happen to a society when the people in it, don’t stand up against what they know to be wrong. The senseless killing, and vial extermination of over 20 million people throughout Europe, during the Holocaust was very well-documented (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, 2016). There is no Pseudo, or false history regarding the Holocaust, it was very real. <br />In your review of Chapter 5, in the book, you write that Shermer does not believe in different states of consciousness, such as, exited, relaxed, drowsy, deep sleep, and coma. Did I miss interpret this also? Because the interpretation of EEG tracings has been empirically researched, and accepted by the scientific community for many years, to determine if a person is having silent seizures, and as an integral aspect of determining clinical brain death (New York State Department of Health and New York State Task Force on Life and the Law, 2011).<br />Through empirical research, scientists have been able to explain much of what happens to our brains when we have so called, outer body experiences, however, they don’t have all of the answers, and your recap of Mrs. Schwartz’s claim to have heard, seen, and remembered everything that occurred in the operating room while she was being resuscitated, highlights the need for still further research. <br />The SNL video was hysterical!<br /> <br />Rhonda Gareauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575721996323521017noreply@blogger.com
