Why The CIA Hired a Team of Psychics | Paul Smith

Parapsychology is a fringey field of physics that involves the study of mind over matter effects. Many elite universities had parapsychology departments in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. At American Alchemy, we think the field is worthy of further inquiry. On this episode, we explore two of parapsychology’s most mind blowing instantiations. The first is a government psychic spy program called Stargate. I interview one of the psychic spies in the program, a guy named Paul Smith, who now teaches people to remote view. The second is a parapsychologist at Princeton named Herb Metz who studies random event generators (or very simple/basic computers) that people can affect with their minds. Pretty insane stuff. If you don’t believe me, watch the episode and see for yourself!
