IIT's Testability Problem Gets a Serious Answer — and the Stakes Are Higher Than They Look
9/8/2026
A theory of consciousness that can't be tested isn't a theory — it's a metaphysical preference. That charge has followed Integrated Information Theory for years, and it sharpened considerably in 2022 when philosopher Ned Bartlett argued that two of IIT's signature predictions abo…

The strangest thing happened to Daryl Bem's precognition research: it got more interesting after the critics tried to kill it. When Bem published his 2011 paper in the Journal of P…
A preprint landed this month that should recalibrate how anyone reads the Pentagon's UAP releases — and it came from two researchers who sit on the UAP Science Advisory Council to…
There is now peer-reviewed evidence, published in Nature, that radiofrequency magnetic fields can influence biochemical reactions inside a living organism at the quantum level. Tha…
The physics is real. The leap from the physics to the therapy is not. That distinction matters more than usual right now, because the past few years have produced a small industry…
Here's the uncomfortable position precognition research has been in for fifteen years: the most rigorous attempt to replicate its flagship findings mostly failed, and yet the stati…
There's a particular kind of intellectual courage required to submit your theory to a process specifically designed to break it. Integrated Information Theory has been the most mat…
A volunteer research coalition just published what may be the most methodologically serious attempt yet to find a pattern in historical UAP data — and the pattern they found is str…
Two systematic reviews of ESP neuroimaging research landed within weeks of each other this summer, and together they tell a story that's more interesting than either a debunking or…
A new systematic review just did something the field of parapsychology rarely manages: it looked at more than seven decades of its own work and said, plainly, that the evidence doe…
Three document drops in, and the Pentagon's UAP disclosure effort has produced something genuinely interesting — just not what most people expected. The latest batch of declassifie…
The hardest thing about quantum consciousness theories has always been the same problem: they're unfalsifiable in practice. You can gesture at microtubules, invoke coherence times,…
There's a persistent folk theory about meditation: that it works slowly, that benefits accumulate over months of practice, and that the neurological action is somewhere in the long…
There's a number that keeps showing up in psi research and refuses to go away quietly: roughly 32–33%. In a standard ganzfeld experiment — sensory deprivation, white noise, a "rece…
The most honest sentence in the Pentagon's recent UAP releases isn't about orbs or acceleration anomalies. It's buried in the fine print of the first tranche: the files "have not y…
There's a version of this story that writes itself badly. "Quantum entanglement proves distant healing" — the headline practically generates itself, and it would be wrong in almost…
There's a version of this question that mainstream neuroscience has been comfortable with for decades: your brain begins processing a stimulus before you consciously register it. T…
The field of parapsychology has spent decades accumulating findings that don't survive contact with the next lab. A new review from the University of Virginia's Division of Percept…
There's a pattern worth naming: the United States government has now created offices, held hearings, issued directives, and missed deadlines — all in the name of UAP transparency —…
There's a version of this conversation that goes nowhere fast: someone invokes quantum mechanics to explain consciousness, someone else rolls their eyes, and both parties leave fee…
