Adam Kisby
Adam Kisby
is a philosopher and certified philosophical practitioner. As such,
he is a member of the
American Philosophical Association and the
National Philosophical Counseling Association. An anomaly among
anomalies, he also is a member of the
Omega Society, a one-in-a-million
level high IQ society, and the
Society for Scientific Exploration, an
organization of scientists and scholars dedicated to the study of
unusual and unexplained phenomena.
In his book,
A Revolutionary Kind of Science, he demonstrates that
principles common to many versions of the scientific method operate as
epistemic filters, precluding from scientific consideration whole
classes of bona fide phenomena, and proposes modified principles
on
which to base a new kind of scientific method that properly accommodates
anomalous phenomena. He also has written for such publications as
Skeptic, prompting considerable controversy with his proof of
the
general theory of evolution, and
Termite, winning the Ronald K.
Hoeflin
Literary Prize for his proof of the ubiquity of extraterrestrial
intelligence.
Adam’s ongoing research includes exploring the complex relationship
between intelligence and belief, especially by means of his
Exceptionally Intelligent Individuals’ Extraordinary Ideas Index
(EIIEII). His current concerns, occasioning his serving as an
advisor to
the Lifeboat Foundation, include risks associated with scientific and
religious dogmatism, human and non-human intelligence, and technological
advancement without corresponding philosophical
sophistication.
