October 18, 2001: Mass Consciousness Experiment - Richard C. Hoagland

Richard C. Hoagland discusses the Princeton mass consciousness experiment and anomalous data during September 11th. Hoagland examines the Global Consciousness Project's network of random number generators and their behavior during major world events. The conversation explores the statistically significant deviations detected hours before the September 11th attacks began. Hoagland discusses what this suggests about collective consciousness and potential precognition of traumatic events. The discussion addresses the physics that might explain how global consciousness affects random processes. Hoagland examines other events where the random number generators showed coherent patterns correlating with mass attention. The broadcast explores implications for understanding consciousness as a field phenomenon rather than merely brain activity. Hoagland discusses the resistance from mainstream science to evidence suggesting consciousness has physical effects. The conversation addresses what the September 11th data means about human consciousness and its relationship to future events. Hoagland examines whether this research provides evidence for Jung's collective unconscious or psi phenomena connecting all minds.
