Dean Radin -- Neon Galactic -- Episode 53

On this episode of Neon Galactic, we interview the man perhaps most responsible for bringing extraordinary human capabilities out of the darkness of ignorance and superstition and into the light of science.

Dr. Dean Radin has worked for decades to apply scientific rigor and hard science to the subject of psi phenomenon.

Through his own experimental work, and his analysis of the decades worth of previous experimentation, Radin has proven beyond any reasonable doubt that humanity can gain information about reality, the future, and themselves through mechanisms that lay outside of the physical senses.

He’s written several important books on these and related issues, and has just finished another. 

In this conversation we talk about the nature of psi phenomenon, the limitations of materialism, and the fact that while such an approach hasn’t explained extraordinary human abilities, it has proven powerful and absolutely necessary for the continued success of our civilization and species.

The goal, he says, should not be to abandon materialism, but rather to expand our perspective and realize that the greater truths of science will involve old paradigms and a new one that will transcend and include all our previous successes.

We discuss which ontology he believes explains the efficacy of psi phenomenon, and how meditation and other forms of mental discipline and spiritual exploration are seemingly an important part of accessing these often latent human capacities. 

Radin is chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Science (IONS) and Associated Distinguished Professor of Integral and Transpersonal Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies. 

His original career track as a concert violinist shifted into science after earning a degree in electrical engineering, magna cum laude and with honors in physics, from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and then an MS in electrical engineering and a PhD in psychology from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. 

For a decade he worked on advanced research and development at AT&T Bell Laboratories and GTE Laboratories. For over three decades he has been engaged in research on the frontiers of consciousness. Before joining the research staff at IONS in 2001, he held appointments at Princeton University, SRI International, and other academic and industrial facilities.

He has been invited to speak to such entities as Merck, Google, Johnson & Johnson, and Rabobank.

His government talks have included the US Navy, US Army, the Naval Postgraduate School, DARPA, the Indian Council of Philosophical Research (India), the International Center for Leadership and Governance (Malaysia), and the Australian Leadership Retreat (Australia). 

In 2017 he was named one of the 100 most inspiring people in the world by the German magazine, OOOM, and as of 2021 his filmography on IMDB lists his appearances in 26 different documentaries.
