31. Good one
"Anything combining quantum mechanics with thought processes is woo."

Therefore all thought processes inventing/finding/creating/observing/in any way combining quantum mechanics are woo. :D

Here's a question: what's behind the mystery of fully deterministic classical mechanics machines inventing/finding the strange math that allowed and allow formulation of quantum mechanics? Because thus it was written in the density matrix of Big Bang (which is how certain kinds of theists name their Creator God ;))?


And now more woo:
"Scientific investigation

An attempt to study the physiological effects of Tummo has been made by Benson and colleagues (Benson et al., 1982; Cromie, 2002) who studied Indo-Tibetan Yogis in the Himalayas and in India in the 1980s. In the first experiment, in Upper Dharamsala (India), Benson et al. (1982) found that these subjects exhibited the capacity to increase the temperature of their fingers and toes by as much as 8.3°C. In the most recent experiment, which was conducted in Normandy (France), two monks from the Buddhist tradition wore sensors that recorded changes in heat production and metabolism (Cromie, 2002).

While the physiological effects of Tummo are well known, they are not the primary purpose of the meditation practice. Tummo is a tantric meditation practice that transforms and evolves the consciousness of the practitioner so that 'wisdom' (prajna) and 'compassion' (karuna) are manifested in the individual"
