This book by Jeffrey Kripal came up once on Lex Fridman in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: guest. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
“his best book or the one that impacted me the most is called authors of the impossible and his writing is very much like nietzsche's”— guest
The guest here is Diana Walsh Pasulka: Professor of philosophy and religion at UNC Wilmington and author of American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, and Technology. She studies belief, Catholic history, and how the UFO phenomenon functions as an emerging religion. A religion scholar argues UFOs are becoming a new religion, and that belief itself, in tech and aliens alike, manifests reality.
