Liz Greene's Opinions

Science Do ghosts exist? Agree Family ghosts may not take the form of dead Uncle Fred speaking through a medium. But they are very real and very powerful, and they can haunt us as relentlessly as the Furies did Orestes. The Distancing Pitch   Edit Pitches 01 Dec 1999    Source Does astrology work (is personality correlated with the positions of celestial bodies at birth)? Agree If [...] you approach reality as being the [subtle] connections, links, resonances, or correspondences between things, then, yes, these patterns are real. But there is no way that they can be measured in a quantifiable sense, according to instruments of so-called reality. When you ask me that, the whole problem is that I don’t know what you mean by real. Or, rather, I do know what you mean, but if Richard Dawkins asked, "Is it real?" he would mean something quite different by "real" than I do.

Philosophy Are people who reject theories as unscientific closed minded? Agree ...I don’t think [research] is valid from the point of view of trying to prove that astrology works, because if you have the kind of mentality that is dead-set against astrology, you will try to blow holes in the statistics anyway. ... if I took that research to somebody who defines statistical research in a more "scientific" sense, they would say: "Three hundred people is nothing. What you need is 3,000 and a neutral control group." Whatever you do, they’ll find a way to set other tests.
