Dr. Jeffrey J. Kripal | The Super Natural, Religious Experience, & A Hermeneutics Of The Imagination
Skepticism, Genetics and the Distribution of Skill Sets
Dr. Kripal defends honest skeptics, suggesting that their lack of belief stems from a genuine lack of experience rather than bad intentions. He uses an NFL quarterback metaphor to explain that paranormal sensitivity is a skill set distributed unevenly across the human population due to genetic or constitutional factors. He concludes that not everyone is capable of experiencing the same metaphysical realities.
