We at SoundPower are all for empirically proven ‘facts’ re the power of sound, but historically many skeptics are proved wrong as the sum of human knowledge increases… in other words, “we don’t know what we don’t know.”
Every person has intuition and confirmation bias, yet advancement also needs testable theories. There are leaders and followers, but we must test any claims about sound’s healing to validate solid theories and weed out the rest.
We want this podcast to advance human knowledge for the good of all, bring us closer, and resist division. Bring it on!
