Susan Blackmore has an unexpected lecture experience at Oxford Royale Academy

[AtheistCrusader]

72. Really? Blackmore is one of the most prominent Atheists in the 'activist' community, outside the

original 'four horsemen of the counter-apocalypse'.

"She saw that as a problem instead of an opportunity, and therein lies her entire problem."

I would like to ask her if some of the following tone of the talk was planned, or adlibbed after she noticed that listener's behavior.
In a related field to parapsychology, specific to female authors/researchers/speakers in the field, you might also find the work of Dr. Susan Clancy of Harvard to be interesting, she focuses on memory research, starting with but not limited to people who claim to have had alien abduction or encounters. She performed the research and presentation that helped me revise my outlook on people who made such claims, rather than assuming them to be crazy or stupid. Understanding brought humanization/empathy, that sort of thing. Good stuff. Some of her work also delves into belief in contact with angels/gods, etc. There's a lot of overlap there. (I've been fortunate enough to meet Clancy at work, sadly, I don't think Blackmore has ever been invited. She'd go over swimmingly here.)

Anyway, back to Blackmore.

Yes, I've been following her for years. She has several books, actually.
She was a guest speaker at TAM last year too. Quite entertaining. She also talks about her history as a parapsychologist and why.
