Does Telepathy Exist? w/ Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell

This week, Scott is joined by Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell—an integrative medical doctor, neuropsychiatrist, and researcher of extraordinary states of consciousness. Dr. Powell's research explores the neuroscience behind psychic phenomena, telepathy, and the incredible abilities of autistic savants. She is the author of "The ESP Enigma: The Scientific Case for Psychic Phenomena" and has been featured in "The Telepathy Tapes" podcast for her groundbreaking work with children who appear to demonstrate mind-reading abilities.

Scott and Dr. Powell dive into the scientific challenges of studying telepathy, the mysteries of prophetic dreams, and Dr. Powell’s theories of consciousness. This conversation explores the limits of human potential and what it means to be an open skeptic in the search for truth.
