I've made the possibly unwise decision to start up a Substack. It's essentially a new incarnation of my blog. I call it Michael Prescott: Chaos Come Again. https://michaelprescott2024.substack.com/p/back-from-the-dead

Well, it happened. I’ve been watching the comments total for a while, and today we hit the magic number of 50,000. Fifty. Thousand. Woohoo! Let the celebrations begin! Given the frequency of his appearances here, it’s appropriate that comment #50,000 was posted by Art. Here it is: I made a "D" in political science 101…

In the wake of my previous post about Michael Sudduth's critique of survival arguments, I looked up some other critiques online. I'm linking to three of them, with some excerpts. Of course, to get a full appreciation of each article, you should read the whole thing. The first, which is the shortest, comes from the…

FYI, here's a link to a blog post by Stafford Betty on John Adams' dying words – a subject that was discussed here recently in a comments thread.

Today I got ten spam comments on this blog in the course of about three hours. It takes time to delete these annoying (usually illiterate) comments, and the comments themselves are potentially dangerous, inasmuch as the links, if clicked, may install malware on your computer. So I've decided to bite the bullet and impose some…

Chris Carter has a new Web site up to promote his book. Like the book, the site is called Science and the Near-Death Experience, and it can be found here. If you click on the menu on the left side of the screen, you'll have the opportunity to learn more about the book and to…

Two items of possible interest. Recently I had a telephone reading with medium Georgia O'Connor. This was only the third time I've sat with a medium. While I prefer to keep the details private, I found the reading strongly evidential and emotionally meaningful. I personally feel much more convinced of life after death than I…

When I was growing up, my ambition was never to be a writer. In high school and even in college, my hope was to become a special effects maestro, and specifically to practice the arcane art of stop-motion animation, as epitomized by the fantasy films of Ray Harryhausen. It is probably fortunate that I did not pursue…
