The Telepathy Tapes Talk Tracks Two: Back for More

18 August 2025

In episode 9 of the Telepathy Tapes' extra episodes, titled the Talk Tracks, host Ky Dickens has Adam Curry on to talk about the “science”, in an episode titled “The Science of Intuition: Consciousness, Intention, and the Edge of Reality”. According to Ky, dam is apparently an inventor and “deep thinker”, although in the episode he describes himself as an “armchair scientist” and “consciousness researcher” - although all I could find of his research online was a single paper on Google Scholar, where he is listed as the third author on a paper about retrocausation. Two websites I found that have profiles on him both listed many research papers, but none of the papers had his name attached to them, despite the fact that they were listed in one case on a website he owns, which sells an app he created (Entangled), and in the other case were listed on his profile page under a picture of him. So I'm left thinking that maybe he's not so much of a researcher after all. Although even if he had been an author on those papers, looking at the quality of them and the places they've been published (and many haven't been published anywhere) makes me think that it still wouldn't be that much of a flex.
