TY - JOUR AU - Braude, Stephen PY - 2021/09/26 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - More Sloppy Reasoning about Survival JF - Journal of Scientific Exploration JA - JSE VL - 35 IS - 3 SE - Editorial DO - 10.31275/20212251 UR - https://journalofscientificexploration.org/index.php/jse/article/view/2251 SP - 477-484 AB - In my writings on the evidence for postmortem survival. I’ve made no secret of the fact that I consider much of the literature on the subject to be very shabby, usually because the authors are empirically myopic or inferentially-challenged. That is, writers on survival notoriously ignore or treat very superficially relevant areas of research having their own extensive literatures (e.g., on dissociation, savantism, prodigies, gifted under-achievers, and language mastery), and too often they seem unable to formulate valid arguments. In Braude, 2003 I explored these deficiencies in great detail. Here, I’d like simply to comment on a particular class of confusions and a recent eruption of nonsequiturs. ER -
